SurrealPolitiks S01E018 – Opportunities

When one attains a certain depth of understanding about politics and world affairs, it can have a psychological effect referred to in some circles as the “black pill”. This is essentially a sort of depressive state in which hope becomes hard to come by, as evidenced by real or imagined factors. It stands in contrast, […]

SurrealPolitiks S01E017 – Demonic Depravity

If you accuse of wrongdoing, anyone in government who happens to be held in favor by the Leftist media, you will likely be accused of being a “conspiracy theorist”. The term is left intentionally vague, of course. It shares this feature with epithets like “racist” and other Left wing buzzwords which serve little purpose in […]

SurrealPolitiks S01E016 – Sustained Action

With Independence day approaching, I spent all weekend composing a document that at the time of this writing stands at about 17,000 words. The working title is “Sustained Action on the Path to Sovereignty” and it lays out a substantially detailed plan for acquiring the resources to purchase land and house activists with the aim […]

SurrealPolitiks S01E015 – Russia and You

To speak of the news today, would be to speak of a recent coup attempt in Russia. I have no small degree of concern for the implications of this, and will beg the pardon of the audience if I appear at times to be exceedingly cautious. I have made a name for myself with unfiltered […]

SurrealPolitiks S01E014 – Valuable Consideration

I recently had occasion to consider a subject too often overlooked, which forms in no small part the foundation of all politics. It does so because it is at the heart of all human motivations. One might say, without it, there is no such thing as motivation. It is the question of value. While this […]

SurrealPolitiks S01E013 – Defense of the State

One may or may not be shocked to learn that I still have friends who call themselves anarchists. Not of the Molotov cocktail variety, but rather of the Murray Rothbard sort. Libertarians who take their love of liberty to the ultimate extreme and say the State ought not exist and should instead be replaced by […]

SurrealPolitiks S01E012 – Pride & The Realpolitik of Free Speech

Freedom of speech is axiomatic to most Americans. They reflexively say they support it whether they actually believe they do or not. It is sort of understood, as a cultural matter, that there are few ways to more rapidly make a pariah of oneself than to renounce this central feature of the American psyche. Nobody […]

SurrealPolitiks S01E011 – Unknown Soldier

Today being Memorial Day, it might be fitting to speak a bit about military service. Of course, the martial character of human conflict emerges elsewhere besides the military, and perhaps it would be still more fitting to speak in such a broader generality. There exists no shortage of bold men who will not be hailed […]

SurrealPolitiks S01E010 – Our Prize, The Narrative

Here at SurrealPolitiks, when speaking of power, there is a well reasoned tendency to speak of matters pertaining to electoral victory. This on account of the fact that the State is the ultimate arbiter of disputes, and its capacity to use force without repercussion renders State power the supreme means of imposing one’s will upon […]

SurrealPolitiks S01E009 – Free To Decline

New Hampshire, wherein I presently reside, is home to a political migration movement known as the Free State Project. Many years ago, in what could fairly be described as another life, that project was why I moved to this place. It seemed at the time a viable strategy for accomplishing a worthwhile goal, and though […]
