Grrrrraaaaaargh

You know, this “Avatar is racist/Avatar is Dances with Wolves, but with aliens” shit is getting on my nerves so badly that it’s distracting me from finishing Phenomenon 32. Can no-one actually have a closer look at something and think before they speak? Basic logic and observation will show that …

Whoa, what happened to the updates, dude?

I’m still here. I’m trying to finish Phenomenon 32. All the voice recording is done. Lots of other stuff is done. But the work has been delayed by various pleasant and unpleasant things – meeting friends, hanging out with my mother, Verena being verbally assaulted by a lunatic from our …

The Swiss Minarets

Swiss population: 7,739,100 Muslims in Switzerland: 4.3% Mosques: 150 Minarets: 4 And over this they passed their fascist anti-minaret law. But they have to preserve their Lebensraum, right? All those filthy foreigners destroying their pure Aryan culture… maybe they need to start learning from Bush and Obama, start building some …

Feminists and Fascists

I’ve always held that feminism, as a political and academic direction (rather than simply the defense of human rights), is backwards and conservative. And who should it be than so-called feminists who are now in one boat with the extreme right-wing, jointly hunting down their new favourite toy: Roman Polanski. …

9/11, or How Urizen Plays His Game

So, it’s been eight years since a group of misguided lunatics killed themselves and a lot of innocent people to punish the United States of America for its crimes in the Middle East. The crimes, of course, were and are completely real and terrible; the idiotic irony that the hijackers …

The Romans thought their Empire would last forever.

Meanwhile, the mighty forces of peaceful Europe and the Obama-changed United States are fighting for the good of the people of Afghanistan by killing as many of them as they can, banks are growing more powerful than ever before, and huge amounts of low-wage workers are constantly having their rights …
