Ya know I remember you touching on this stuff in blog posts on your old blog. I don't remember all the post titles. I did save some on my phone.
I have a few recommendations for old posts you could revisit and maybe update. The last one is just me sharing one I liked, don't think it makes sense to revisit it.
1)
You had a blog entry titled "Contemporary Transgenderism is based in Regressive Conservatism." Considering the current zeitgeist and state of affairs. I think it is worth sharing here.
2)
Your series on Societies, not individuals are Mentally Ill (I think it was a series or maybe it was just 1 post). When I think about the US political leadership (if you can call it leadership), people's voting behavior, and how people tend to treat one another in general focusing mainly in the US, but you can reasonably extend some of this to the West in general. I can't help but think many people must have sociopathic traits. In addition to that people just being delusional and both want and liked being lied to. Whatever helps you cope with life I guess.
This next point was inspired from something I read in one of Nassim Nicholas Taleb's books. This is in regards to the poor decision-making exhibited by political leaders in the west. I think they all lack skin in the game. They make decisions and they are divorced from the consequences of said actions. So they can basically make suicidal socio-economic policies and they likely will be just fine. The rest of us likely not.
Consider the current misadventures in Ukraine. Germany, Italy and other European countries had cheap oil/energy being provided to them by Russia. Then they decide to sanction them without really thinking through all the ramifications. As it is said in a Song of Fire and Ice, Winter is Coming. It was/is arguably a form of virtue signalling what leadership has done. I guess if I wasn't so jaded I would give them the benefit of the doubt and say they at least meant well.
I'll stop here on that for now otherwise I'll end up all over the place.
3)
Finally, a real long time ago you had a review or referenced at at least the book by Thomas Frank called What's the Matter with Kansas? I liked your take on it. An oldie, but another goodie. Really wish I saved that blog entry. Even still I did enjoy reading Thomas's book.
Gotta say, quite a few of things you said before appeared pretty prophetic.
Dunno if you read the book Apocalypse Never by Michael Shellenberger. But I think it might be worth a read for you. I got it on audiobook. The book acknowledges climate change, but talk about environmental alarmism causing more harm than good. Which reminds me, I think you had other blog entries on the flaws with "-isms" in general
You are back P Ray. I thought you disappeared. We never spoke b4 due to me never commenting on AD's old blog, but just only being a reader. I wonder if Joesantus, Mr Odessa, and few others I can't recall right now are reading too. I am surprised you found Stonerwithaboner. I wonder if MikeCA is here too or dropped off.
Nice to meet you, Jaiseric. I think MikeCA is around but doesn’t comment much. Found an archive of AD’s old blog: https://archive.ph/zZ7TM
It appears I was wrong and it was not the tragic mulatto who got the blog banned but the Uber mensch fellow. You can see the image of the negro performing fellatio on himself. It has a different hosting site than the “meme” images Stonah wit a Bonah posted.

Will do that in the next couple of weeks. Thanks..

He is 'Stoner with a Boner' pretending to be 'P Ray'.
I guess I should have known better. It did seem odd to me P Ray would track down Stoner. But we all have our quirks and hobbies, weird or not.
