Hello there my good internet denizen, I am called Oleksandr Varyazhskii, or Alexander the Varangian. If that is too much of a mouthful, then by all means, call me Sasha V. Here, I write about history, philosophy, social dynamics from the perspective of an autistic mind, and occasionally, news and the way it's presented (in…
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is inevitable, but it's not what the WEF is trying to push. This is going to be a little history lesson on the structure of industrial revolutions, and why the self-appointed architect of the fourth one is just plain wrong about almost everything. There have been three industrial revolutions thus far,…
A-hem. Mi mi mi mi mi… There is a common misconception in the “community” of political commentators that the left thinks the right is evil, and the right thinks the left is stupid. The opposite is true; the left is evil, and the right is stupid. Seriously, the right keeps making arguments from “facts and…
Mass murder is no unintentional inevitability, much less a mistake; it is always the logical and even deliberate conclusion of utopian thinking. However, to explain why, it is first necessary to touch on personality disorders. Possibly the most perplexing paradox I have come across is that of the self-loathing narcissist, though if you think about…
Ever wonder why the establishment calls everything it doesn't like "fascist"? Wonder no more; fascism is the spectre haunting modern socialism from within. I routinely mention “longhouse simps,” defined as people who agree with the establishment and think they are part of the resistance, for example, this idiot: Substack Note originally posted 22 March, 2024…
Moral consequentialism is one of many terms that has a double meaning. Looking it up typically yields fairly reasonable-sounding ideas such as judging the morality of an action based on its results, i.e. utilitarianism. However, there is another meaning to moral consequentialism that you should be aware of, and that is the idea that truth…
Capitalism is a socialist word, in that it was invented by and is used predominantly by socialists. Socialism is defined by its opposite, but as you may have noticed, not only can most socialists not define socialism, but they can’t define capitalism either. I was a socialist for over a decade, and I was able…
This movement has been the enemy of both science and humanity from day one, something I've been saying a lot, and today, I finally get round to explaining why. This piece has been stewing in my mind for a while now, and it began with this video, which you may want to hold off on…
Leftism is a religion, made up of many tiny cults, all of which seem to hate each other, and are only ever united by their shared ire of “capitalism,” whatever that even is. Leftism is defined by its opposite, and yet, most leftists cannot define their own opposite, much less themselves. Press them on the…
By that, of course, I mean that it has a double meaning, the hallmark of linguistic propaganda. There are enough people out there dissecting propaganda that a great deal of the common buzzwords have already been exposed, but one that I have never seen properly dissected is the word “integrity.” Without a qualifier, e.g. structural…
This article is for anyone out there who finds themselves in need of a concise definition of socialism, such as if you are arguing with someone about its merits and your interlocutor tries to obfuscate about what it is. Socialism is defined as the collectivisation of the means of production. Collectivisation is the transfer of…
