The Very Best of Last Week in Reaction (2016/10/02)

Got last week’s TWiR up over at Social Matter, just before midnight Tuesday… somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. The Editors’ Picks were as follows…

---

Honorable Mentions:

P. T. Carlo: After Charlotte, It’s Clear That Dialogue With Black Lives Matter Is Futile. Carlo takes his powers of observation up to the next level: Daily Caller. He recounts the plain, undisputed, and monotonously boring facts about the police shootings that have been met with BLM riots. BLM is batting a thousand!

William Scott: On the Metaphysics of Meme part 3. Scott’s deep philosophical exploration of memes, what they are and why they work, continues.

Alfred Woenselaer: Critiquing the Alt-Right from the Right. An incisive look at what the Alt-Right gets right, and what the Alt-Right gets left.

Titus Cincinnatus: A Social Alloying Model for Immigration. A powerful analogy for a sane, adapative, and group beneficial immigration policy, pulled from the pages of alloy chemistry.

James A. Donald: Aleppo. A darkly enlightened view on the current situation in Syria and the growing distance between what the “International Community” wants to accomplish and reality.

Bonald: First Principles. The first principle of rightism is “authority, the legitimate rule of one over another”. This is offered with commentary and applications.

Bill Marchant: Inevitability. Expert commentary on the current state of the “Black Lives Matter” narrative, the power and obstinancy of those who promote it, and its increasing distance from objective reality.

… And the Winner Is:

Mark Citadel: The Ritual Humiliation of Misunderstanding Power. Yet another response to Decius’ CRB Flight 93 Election article, but what a doozy. Citadel coins “Power Realism” and advocates for it in view of the true and mortal enemy of leftism. Inspired and inspiring.
