by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.31.2011

Part 3 will be along next Monday, or possibly sooner if I really get motivated, but I wanted to comment on the significance of the rioting in Tunisia and Egypt. Generation Zero’s war to destroy the ancien regime has begun, and Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and Hosni Mubarak are the first casualties. Take a [...]

In Mala Fide: one of the Top 100 Blogs of 2010

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.29.2011

According to Brainz.org and their poll of “30 Internet professionals who make their living as online influencers,” this is one of the best blogs on the Web. I have no clue what sort of prestige this awards me, but it tickles my ego bone all the same. Kids, don’t ever let anyone tell you that [...]

Britishness If I hook up with an English chick – which I have – I want to know which flag I’m claiming, English or British? Since I’m writing this post from the capital of the flagging world, there’s no better time or place to tackle the Britishness debate. I give you, UK Conundrum Theory. The [...]

Internet addiction is a symptom, not the disease

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.27.2011

Keoni Galt, the Hawaiian Libertarian, has had it up to here with people Tweeting, Facebooking and screwing around on their iPhones: See, I’ve noticed that more and more people everywhere are becoming social media “smart” phone zombies. At malls, parks, sporting events, concerts, parties, public transportation, bars, restaurants, in traffic, at weddings, funerals and baby [...]

Obsidian’s folly, Inception and the subjectivity of human perception

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.26.2011

The least self-aware black man in the blogosphere has done it again. Obsidian has blown apart the Irony Meter by composing a long, rambling post in which he bitches about the (White) manosphere’s bitching. Specifically, he calls out Roissy/Chateau, Chuck Ross and moi: If you don’t like more thicker, rounder or just downright fat ladies [...]

In case you haven’t noticed, your world is on fire. But let’s not make a big deal out of it. So we’re living through the self-inflicted collapse of western civilization. What are YOU going to do? Put on your cape and go save it? If that’s your plan, best of luck. I’ll be cheering for [...]

“Only upon the realization of self-will can a person truly be called a man…”

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.22.2011

J. Durden reminded me a couple of days ago of one of the best monologues in video game history (not that that’s a particularly competitive field). Watch the video and see what I mean: While watching, keep in mind that Margolis (the guy with the scar giving the monologue) is supposed to be the bad [...]

I am a child pornographer

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.21.2011

There. I admit it. I’m a sicko who gets off on underage girls. You decent people should arrest me, cut my penis off and leave me to bleed to death in some grimy dungeon somewhere. Why am I a child pornographer? I count this disgusting, decadent child exploitation film among my DVD collection: Yes, I [...]

Why I’ve resolved to stop masturbating

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.20.2011

Last night, I was planning to finish part 2 of the “Generation Zero” series, when I suddenly got it in my head to take care of my, erm…head. Five minutes and a used tissue later, I felt good…and spent. Seriously, it was like my will to work and write was sapped out with my spilled [...]

The Rise of Generation Zero, Part 1: Everything You Know is Wrong

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.19.2011

“Man, I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t [...]

She is your canvass, so remake her the way you want

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.17.2011

Chuck Ross appears to have gotten into it with everyone’s favorite brotha once again, this time on the issue of whether tattoos and/or piercings can serve as a marker of a girl’s sluttiness. (I have my own views on the subject, but it’s a federal holiday, so I don’t feel like working too hard today.) [...]

Why I don’t respect women

by Ferdinand Bardamu 01.14.2011

Over at Full of Grace, Seasoned with Salt, Laura Grace Robins critiques an anti-domestic violence campaign that urges men to teach boys to respect women: 1. There is this assumption that respect is something women are entitled to by simply being a woman. They don’t have to earn it through good behavior or by being [...]
