HOW THE INTERNET HAS CREATED A SWAMP OF VERY LOUD SHEEP

by Ann Sterzinger

If you’re a digital native, you probably have no idea what genuine loneliness is. Before you get off my lawn, let me finesse that: back during the analog age, if you were a freak or a weirdo, you were a freak or a weirdo. Period.

THE WILL TO CENSOR: WHY EVERYONE WANTS EVERYONE ELSE TO SHUT UP

by Ann Sterzinger

Every day when I get up, rub the dust of regret out of my eyes, and crawl over to look at the Intertube, someone has decided that someone else should never be listened to. Depending on who’s doing the shut-upping, this can range from white, heterosexual men to thots and cucks, but the mechanism is the same. Every day, more people fall into the pit: now white straight women should shut up. Now white gay men. Next it will be Jews (on both sides) and Asians, and finally, a month or two hence, only Ta-Nehisi Coates and anyone who kisses his ass hard enough will count anymore as People With Something to Say. Well, except for the slightly less media-empowered half of the US who are only listening to Tucker Carlson.

WONDER WOMAN: TOO CHEERFUL FOR A MOVIE ABOUT WORLD WAR ONE

by Ann Sterzinger

To my delight, the new Wonder Woman movie was visually stunning, and was not marred by page after page of hackneyed feminist dialogue. Indeed, the girl-power theme was rarely taken beyond the level to which we are already numb. One notable exception to this being when a bunch of Amazons armed with Bronze Age weaponry somehow win a battle against World War One guys. Come on. Bows and arrows couldn’t even cut through 17th-century muskets, much less… whatever. Sure, sure, have it your way; mere dudes with bows and arrows wouldn’t last ten seconds against a WWI-era firearm, but Amazon Power outdoes the laws of physics. At least it was a cool-looking scene.

PODCAST 49: THE ALT-RIGHT FUCKS YOU IN THE PUSSY

Richard Wolstencroft and Ann Sterzinger join Colin Liddell to discuss the Second Presidential Debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Among the points raised are "pussygate," Trump's tendency to shaft the little guy, Bill Clinton's trail of "battered pussies," the heterosexuality of the Alt-Right, Wikileaks' prick teasing, Trump's tendency to drop Jewish names, the predictability of the October surprises, and why it's not a good idea to talk into a hot pussy.

VOTE NO CONFIDENCE!

by Ann Sterzinger

As bad as the Star Wars prequels were, I could almost kiss George Lucas for re-introducing the American public to the idea of a “No confidence” vote.

The other day I read a commenter somewhere musing that, because it’s so difficult for a third party to get any traction in the US presidential election, there should be a “NO” option: everyone should have the choice of saying they don’t like either of the choices they’ve been given. If more people vote NO than vote red or blue, then both major parties have to scrap their candidates and start over.

PODCAST 37: PARIS AND THE ABYSS OF WESTERN IDENTITY

The Bataclan minutes before the terrorists struck.

Andy and Colin are joined by Ann Sterzinger to discuss the Islamic terrorist attack on Paris, and whether the West's negative culture of "freedom" will ultimately submit to the crude positivism of Islam, or whether Europe will start to define itself positively and fight back.

Topics include Ann's recent experiences as ex-editrix of Takimag and Trigger Warning; her soon-to-be-completed magnum opus LYFE, a futuristic comedy of a world (and moon) gone wrong; and the strangely hypnotic appeal of reading dystoptic fiction, i.e. books detailing perfectly awful future societies.

ANTISEXUALISM

by Andy Nowicki

In my recent review of Ann Sterzinger's novel Nowhere, I observed that we now now live in an age when most social and intellectual movements with any sort of momentum and enduring traction are essentially negative in orientation, "anti-" in temperament. Sterzinger's book highlights one of the less visible, if most radical of these anti-ideologies – that of "antinatalism," the belief that life itself is a misery best avoided.
