A few seconds of footage can become a political Rorschach test. Some viewers see regret; others see hypocrisy, confusion or a convenient symbol for everything they already believe. But how much can we really know about a stranger from a brief expression? The more interesting question is why millions of people are so eager to assign that expression a meaning. The video looks beyond the immediate spectacle to examine the assumptions that make this kind of meme so powerful.
Out soon, and as always, thanks so much for sticking with me. It is very much appreciated and I hope your week goes well.
Be well.

Is an American Caesar INEVITABLE?
Back in 2022, retired two-star general Paul Eaton warned of a possible military coup after the 2024 election if confusion is successfully sewn among US military members about who the commander-in-chief is.
And all of these developments, well they seem to fit very nicely into German thinker and philosopher of history, Oswald Spangler's hypothesis about the life cycle of civilizations as presented in his book The Decline of the West, which was published in 1918, a thinker and a book I have spoken of in several videos before.
And what is the most significant take away from his treatise and is mirrored in the current events in the West midway through 2024, is that we may now be approaching the new age of a modern American Caesar.
As always, thanks for your support and I hope to see you this Sunday for our group meet-up on Discord.

France's impossible position — France appears to be approaching a moment when the usual political compromises may no longer work. Spend more, and the financial pressures deepen. Cut back, and the political backlash could be severe. Keep postponing the hard decisions, and the eventual reckoning becomes more difficult. How did a country with France's resources and institutions arrive at a position where every option seems to carry a serious cost? In my latest video, I examine the deeper forces behind the crisis — and why the consequences may reach far beyond French borders.

The Wine Aunt Age-Gap MELTDOWN
We're constantly told that women are independent adults who can make their own romantic choices. Until, apparently, they choose a man the internet disapproves of. Then suddenly everyone becomes a relationship expert, amateur psychologist and self-appointed guardian of female agency.
Apparently, a man dating a younger woman is now enough to trigger an entire internet tribunal.But is all this outrage really about protecting women—or is something else going on?

I've been looking into the new age-gap moral panic. My latest video asks some rather uncomfortable questions.
