Is The Americans woke?
This show was so much better than I expected it to be and did travel into some unexpected directions. And so much more exciting than expected.
One thing it did do is flip expectations and make the husband the one with the most heart. I don't find that to be woke as they're both skilled and dangerous players but the husband is the most easy to relate to. Some of his actions weigh on him.

Is Vikings woke?
There seem to be no elements of woke in this - no forced diversity casting, no feminazis, no gay stuff, no politics.
The one sad element is something all too common in mainstream television, how if there is a "Christian" character in the story, inevitably they lose their faith and choose the life of debauchery (depicted as freedom). It doesn't make the show woke to have this element, but as a Christian...

Don’t Join Trump’s Greenland Adventure
1,559 words
Donald Trump has expressed the desire to purchase Greenland or conquer it by force, deeming it “absolutely necessary” for America’s security. He also claimed he wanted to make Canada the 51st state and retake the Panama Canal. For the purposes of this article, I’ll ignore the Panama and Canada issue and focus on the Greenland adventure. To sum it up, American white advocates...

No, The Courts Won’t Save Us
Some bookkeeping from Andrew at the top: This could be the last you hear from me for a bit, as my wife and I are on new-baby watch. (I’m a little surprised even to be here today—we thought the event was at hand yesterday!) So I’ll either see you all in a few weeks—or I’ll be grumpily back in the saddle on Monday if the kid keeps dragging his feet. Either way, Happy Friday.

Enjoyable watch
You know when something seems like it might be liberal but.. isn't? Even if it was meant to come across that way? I still don't know what the director's intention was. But watching it makes you think that ethnic diversity leads to such a hell on earth that people literally want to escape to space

Holds up
Just rewatched it recently and it still holds up. I was gonna' say Scorsese doesn't disappoint but I googled his filmography and realized I haven't seen most. And there were a lot of titles that bombed or were hated by our milieu. Idk, I really liked "Silence" and this one as well. Unlike "The Big Short" it doesn't try to preach anti Capitalist stuff. And even skips over the technical jargon. The ending...

Paul Theroux
Part 1, Part 2
There is more to recommend in Paul Theroux’s African travelogues Dark Star Safari (2002) and The Last Train to Zona Verde (2013) than their comprehensive yet tacit uncovering of racial truths. Yes, race realism is both everywhere and nowhere in these books. Yes, these works will ward off any sane, openminded individual from absurd ideas such as racial...

Paul Theroux’s African Safari, Part 2
2,238 words
Since Paul Theroux never stayed for long in one place while writing his African travelogues, the act of traveling itself takes up much ink in Dark Star Safari (2002) and The Last Train to Zona Verde (2013). Thus, the train becomes the leitmotif which connects both works. Theroux treats it as a symbol of the swollen, arthritic nexus between the West and modern Africa—magnificent in...

In 2023, blacks murdered 602 whites in America according to a site called National Conservative. In return, whites murdered one-sixth of that number, despite outnumbering blacks around five-to-one. The link between black populations and high rates of violent crime is well established, with American whites being far and away the most frequent victims of interracial crimes. The links between...

Watch: John Fetterman stuns the shrill harpies from The View with who Biden should pardon next... Donald Trump?!
We here at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website are still enjoying John Fetterman's recent turn to common sense. Will she still vote with Democrats on everything, sure. Will we support his opponent in four years? Of course. But until then, seeing him drop harsh truth bombs on the left that they are too chuckleheaded to listen to provides a nice break in the day. Yesterday, it was with the yaks...

He tried to kill the cat. For that alone he deserves death. Parallels to The Broken Tower in the poet's strained (to put it gently) relationship with his father, who in both movies is played by a man who doesn't seem well suited to play anyone's father at all--too young, with too high-pitched a voice. Also surprisingly strong parallel to Genius, three years later, though this is of course more overtly...

Baby trade war’s going real good: “President-elect Trump suggested to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week,” Fox News reports, “that if a tariff for failing to address trade and immigration issues would kill the neighbor to the north’s economy, maybe it should become the 51st state.” Happy Tuesday.
