Libertarianism contra the tribe; or, liberté, égalité, conformité

by Ferdinand Bardamu 05.31.2010

The old political saw about libertarians is that they’re conservatives who like to smoke pot. A better description would be that libertarians are liberals who hate paying taxes. Mencius Moldbug described libertarianism as “contain[ing], at its core, a shard of pure Left”, which is why it “will always fail as a revolt against progressivism”. The [...]

Ipecac for Randroids

by Ferdinand Bardamu 05.29.2010

It’s funny, the people who link to your blog on the interwebs. I was taking a look at my referrers list when I saw a link from the Objectivism Online forum. I clicked it and found that someone had posted on my review of L.A. Rollins’ The Myth of Natural Rights and Other Essays, writing this: [...]

Video Game Friday: Titanic – Adventure Out of Time

by Ferdinand Bardamu 05.28.2010

Before I get into the main event, a few interesting game-related links: Home of the Underdogs – the best resource out there for old and obscure computer games, ranging from the late 70′s to the late 90′s. The original HOTU went down a year ago, and a bunch of restoration projects are underway. HOTUD.org is [...]

The folly of anti-anti-Semitism

by Ferdinand Bardamu 05.27.2010

About a month ago, on my post on anti-Semitism, Sparks123 asked me why I refused to label myself an anti-anti-Semite. The answer is that I think anti-anti-Semitic hysteria is a growing melanoma on the American body politic. While I’m not fond of the conspiracy-mongering on the anti-Semitic right, I’m not stupid – a group of basement-dwelling [...]

Ferdinand Bardamu versus his critics

by Ferdinand Bardamu 05.25.2010

Note: I was going to publish this post this morning, but my Internet connection blew out last night before I could finish it. I wasn’t planning to return to the Islam thing anytime soon, but because I published a guest post on the subject yesterday, I’ve decided to revisit the issue. This post is comprised of [...]

In Soviet Russia, crap write you!

by Ancel De Lambert 05.24.2010

Even Russia has left-wing bleeding heart liberals. An utter pussy by the name of Robert Bridge wrote an article for Russia Today Friday morning, in which he deliberates on his views – those views being the complete and total backstabbing of Western civilization. Thursday was Draw Mohammed Day, in which our dear Ferdinand took part, [...]

The king claims his crown

by Ferdinand Bardamu 05.22.2010

The biggest case of politics-related blue balls in New York state history is over: Andrew Cuomo jumps into the gubernatorial race with this 21-minute video, just released by his campaign. Cuomo sketches out the major themes of his campaign by detailing dysfunction and corruption in Albany at times “could even make Boss Tweed blush.” “Manhattan’s [...]

Video Game Friday: Castle of the Winds

by Ferdinand Bardamu 05.21.2010

It’s that time of the year again, folks. Yes, summer is upon us Northern Hemisphere residents, and that means long hot days of barbecuing, hiking, and sitting around in your poorly ventilated home trying to think while sweat pours down your face and your brain bakes in your skull. (Screw you solstice purists. If I need [...]

Draw Muhammad Day

by Ferdinand Bardamu 05.20.2010

Yes, that’s EXACTLY what it looks like. To the liberal cultural overlords who won’t risk offending Muslims out of fear – I curse you. You claim to be valiant defenders of free speech and free inquiry, but the only targets you dare attack are those who can’t or won’t fight back. Even worse, the gods [...]

Pornonomics

by Ferdinand Bardamu 05.18.2010

Living in our modern world with its various creature comforts, it’s easy to forget the struggles that our forbears had to go through in order to enjoy the things we take for granted. Take porn as an example. You kids don’t realize how easy you’ve got it! When I was your age, trying to find [...]

April 2010 Stupid Girl of the Month

by Ferdinand Bardamu 05.17.2010

The March 2010 Stupid Girl of the Month is, by the hair on her crotchy-crotch-crotch, Australian sex maniac Jessica Parfrey. With 136 votes in, she squeaked by beaver shaver Megan Mariah Barnes with just 51 percent of the vote. Perhaps she can frame it and put it on her wall when she’s not busy polishing [...]
