Political Ponerology

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.

The following clip was brought to my attention by a subscriber during one of our recent Saturday Ponerology chats. It features streamer Asmongold commenting on the recent NDP leadership convention. For the non-Canadians out there, the NDP, or New Democratic Party, is a Canadian political party to the left of the Liberal Party (the party led by current Prime Minister Mark Carney). Initially coming from populist, agrarian and socialist roots, the NDP has become…this. It must be seen to be believed.

On March 23, Jesse Walters of Fox News posted a now viral clip of college-aged Spring Break beachgoers being interviewed in climate-appropriate attire. As in many classics of the same genre, the youths are asked a series of questions, their replies to which display a lack of awareness of various current events and knowledge of certain points of fact, often dealing with geography.

According to Gallup polling from last year, up to 45% of adult Americans identify as political independents. That’s a plurality, as the remainder is evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, with 27% each. Forty-five percent is around 120 million adults, and that number has been growing for the past 20 years, driven largely by the younger generations. It’s easy to see why. Neither party represents them.

Matthew Dahlitz (The Science of Psychotherapy) recently had me on his show to discuss political ponerology. Check it out on YouTube below:
