Political Ponerology

Due to my own ignorance on certain topics, there are several sections in my edition of Political Ponerology that remain light on supporting references and examples. Some of these are in Chapter 6. With some years now passed, I decided to see if what results an LLM like Grok would churn out, potentially to fill in those gaps. While the results weren’t perfect (slight “hallucinations” and prompter-pleasing), they cleared some things up for me and provided some pointers on where else to look.

Lobaczewski called egotism the chief of human faults. He mentions it over 80 times in Political Ponerology.

In my recent talk with Karen Mitchell we briefly discussed Gad Saad’s concept of suicidal empathy. Neither of us are big fans of the idea, for different but related reasons. For Karen, the notion shifts the blame from the predator onto their prey. I have additional problems with it, which I will elaborate below. First, my attempt at a charitable summary.

Two years ago I wrote a series of articles on Karen Mitchell’s PhD thesis on the Predatory Personality Model (links further below). Her more approachable book on the subject is now available for the mass market. You can purchase it on Amazon or Abbey’s (Australia and worldwide).

Every day a new British police atrocity goes viral on X. In the wake of the release of the footage of Henry Nowak’s murder being facilitated by police—who chose to detain him rather than administer aid, and during which he died from his stab wounds—a clear picture is forming of the state of the British police force. It has undergone a rather severe process of ponerization, made possible by a complete repudiation of the principle of competence.

Editor’s preface: The following piece, by our special guest contributor, John D. Hipsley, is a must-read. At first glance, readers may wonder what it has to do with ponerology. The answers to that question can be found in Chapter 2 of Lobaczewski’s book. Fairy tales embody a deep understanding of human psychology and are a child’s first preparation for the evil they either have already encountered in their lives, or will as they grow up.

Longtime election observers know that, historically, the Nithya Raman vote is typically low on election day and then spikes remarkably and steadily picks up steam as the days and weeks of mail-in ballot counting proceed, even outperforming the top competitor. This is known as Raman’s Law, and it perfectly explains the seemingly anomalous state of the (ongoing) mayoral LA election—if you are mentally retarded.

Socialism, Occultism, Child Abuse, and the Sexual Revolution I recently finished reading Jasun Horsley’s 2019 book, The Vice of Kings: How Socialism, Occultism, and the Sexual Revolution Engineered a Culture of Abuse (VoK). Given the subject matter of some of my most popular articles here, I’m fairly confident my readership will appreciate it.

The Three Fates by Alexander Rothaug (ca. 1910) I have been contemplating this post for a while. But it was only after finishing Michael Hoffman’s Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare that I decided to attempt to hammer it out. I have previously written on the debate between ascribing malevolence or incompetence to those responsible for many of the evils we see in our world, concluding that the proper answer should be both.

I’m currently working on a fun post, currently sitting at 4,000 words, which will require a bit more time to finish. So in the meantime, check out the following video/PDF. Colin Davis of Shadow Tech Alchemy has produced a summary of the first edition of Political Ponerology. So far I have only checked some random parts, but it looks well done. The text comes to 54 pages (available here) and the audio, available on YouTube below, is the length of a longish movie, just below 2.5 hours.
