There was a time not long ago when Rolland Emmerich was one of the most profitable and popular filmmakers alive. He was the man behind massive blockbusters like Independence Day, Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow, The Patriot, 2012, and White House Down. He was untouchable and he could make any schlock action movie he wantedContinue reading “Crashing Down: The Strange Death of Rolland Emmerich Movies”

In Defense of Revolution: When is violence tolerable and what to do with disgruntled citizens?
Here’s an interesting debate topic: When is it morally right for a class of people to rise up against their government and forcibly replace them? Certainly, the simplest answer is said best by the Declaration of Independence: “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduceContinue reading “In Defense of Revolution: When is violence tolerable and what to do with disgruntled citizens?”
AntiSocial Network Podcast – January Updates – Bill Ryan, Bethel McGrew, Christian Toto, Po the Person and Louis Markos
I’ve been lazy this year when it comes to keeping CR updated with news about the AntiSocial Network Podcast. The podcast has continued plugging away contentedly and quietly online but I hadn’t bothered updating anyone on CR about new episodes. Given that part of the editorial mandate of this blog is to serve as aContinue reading “AntiSocial Network Podcast – January Updates – Bill Ryan, Bethel McGrew, Christian Toto, Po the Person and Louis Markos”
Year One of the Biden Administration: A Year of Tension and Breakdown
When President Trump was voted out of office, people thought that the country was going to return to some level of normalcy. People had assumed that Biden was the return to normalcy candidate and that the country could reasonably trade 4 years of ineffectual leadership for less chaos. As time has shown, things have onlyContinue reading “Year One of the Biden Administration: A Year of Tension and Breakdown”
HUMMEL Review: Don’t Look Up
I am an agnostic on issues like climate change, solely because I am not a climate scientist. Is it real? Probably. Do I trust the politicians at the European Union and their accords to deal with it accordingly? Nope. Climate change is probably real and it will probably have negative side effects but I somewhatContinue reading “HUMMEL Review: Don’t Look Up”
Where Have I Been? – The Cultural Revue in 2021 Review
2021 has been one of the strangest and most interesting years of my young life. After the cataclysm of the COVID-19 pandemic, losing my job in IT, watching the United States descend into political hostility the likes of which we haven’t seen (only getting worse in the last year), I made the effort to branchContinue reading “Where Have I Been? – The Cultural Revue in 2021 Review”

V*ccine Hesitancy and Social Trust: Explaining the Rational Defense of Anti-Vax Arguments (From a Pro-Vax Perspective)
“The root of vaccine hesitancy is distrust: distrust in institutional power, distrust in “the science” (TM), distrust in authority, and distrust in the current administration.
And why shouldn’t the vaccine-hesitant masses, both conservative and progressive, distrust these authorities? “
HUMMEL Review: Tread (2020)
It’s hard not to watch a documentary like Tread and consider the socio-political connotations that the movie is perpetuating. Of course, that’s the case with a real life tragedy like that which beset the small Colorado town in the infamous “Killdozer” incident in 2004. The spectacle was caused by a rampage by a local aggrievedContinue reading “HUMMEL Review: Tread (2020)”
COSMO – Building an UN-woke Children’s Library
If 2020 has taught me anything, its that the best way to ensure I raise happy, healthy, independent, resilient children is to commit to homeschooling. There are advantages and disadvantages to this commitment, which I won’t be going into detail here. I recognize it as an all-consuming task; in order to be successful, it willContinue reading “COSMO – Building an UN-woke Children’s Library”
