Historical Analogies and the Current Crisis

Posted on | January 22, 2026 | Comments Off on Historical Analogies and the Current Crisis

John Adams (left); John Quincy Adams (right)

Here’s a question most people have never pondered: Why did the North fight the Civil War? The way history is taught, the focus is on slavery and the South, and the motives of the Confederacy are subjected to critical scrutiny in a way that the Union side of the controversy is not. If you start digging around, examining contemporary accounts as I have done, you might begin questioning some of your fundamental beliefs. Sen. Robert Toombs, declaring the causes of Georgia’s secession, pointed to the 1846 Walker Tariff as the underlying grievance that led eventually to the formation of the Republican Party. After decades of protectionist policy advocated by New England interests, the 1846 tariff signaled that “free trade, low duties, and economy in public expenditures was the verdict of the American people. The South and the Northwestern States sustained this policy. There was but small hope of its reversal; upon the direct issue, none at all.” It should not need to be said that Toombs’ argument was tendentious — he was in the position analogous to an attorney pleading a client’s case. But the point is that the basic economic and fiscal policy of the nation were involved in the regional contest and, as Toombs said, by the mid-1840s, the South and the West were in a de facto alliance against the Northeast. But the controversy long predated that.

Think of John Adams and his son, John Quincy Adams. The elder Adams, having served as George Washington’s vice president, was elected president in 1796. Twenty-eight years later, the younger Adams was elected president in 1824. Both of them served only one term, proving unpopular in office, and the interregnum between their two terms in the White House was filled by an unbroken tenure of Virginians, followed by the presidency of Andrew Jackson of Tennessee. For the first 48 years under the Constitution (1788 to 1836), then, New England had held the office for just eight years. and there was little prospect of them regaining that office because of the changing arithmetic of the Electoral College:

In 1792, there were 132 Electoral College votes; 38 of those votes (28.8 percent of the total) belonged to the New England states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Massachusetts alone wielded 16 electoral votes (12.1 percent of the total) in 1792. Forty years later, however, when Jackson was reelected to a second term in the White House in 1832, the Electoral College had increased to 288 voters, and the New England states (now including Maine) possessed just 50 — a mere 17.4 percent of the total. That total was exactly matched by six new states in the South and West — Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Missouri — each of which permitted slavery. Kentucky and Tennessee, each with 15 Electoral College votes in 1832, now had more representation than Massachusetts, with just 14 votes. . . .

Ludicrous Irony: Life Advice for Young Men from the Former John Walker Flynt

Posted on | January 19, 2026 | Comments Off on Ludicrous Irony: Life Advice for Young Men from the Former John Walker Flynt

It’s been nearly 12 years since #GamerGate happened, and I’ve got grandchildren nearly that old. Must we rehash the whole thing — which began with the Tattoo-Covered, Mentally Ill Ex-Stripper Whose Real Name Is Chelsea Van Valkenburg — to explain the comic role played in that saga by John Walker Flynt a/k/a “Brianna Wu”?

John Walker Flynt a/k/a ‘Brianna Wu’

#GamerGate turned into a feminist victimhood narrative — women claiming to be harassed by misogynists — and John/“Brianna” jumped in to declare himself/“herself” the Ultimate Victim. Kiwi Farms:

A failure at pretty much everything she’s ever done, Brianna Wu claims to be an engineer, writer, linguist, business manager, and programmer, but in actuality failed out of college repeatedly and possesses no qualifications in any field.

Despite his/“her” lack of qualifications, John/“Brianna” was able to leverage his/“her” notoriety into a brief (and failed) political career, because fools will throw money at anything labeled “progressive.” In 2018, Wu challenged Massachusetts Rep. Stephen Lynch in the Democratic primary and lost by 48 points, 71%-23%. After announcing another primary challenge to Lynch in 2020, Wu quit the race in April 2020, citing COVID-19 concerns. Along the way, Wu co-founded a political action committee which, for all I know, may still be paying him/“her” because fools and their money are soon parted.

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, grifters gotta grift.

Rollo never misses, does he? For the sake of discussion, let’s quote the entirety of Wu’s self-awareness-deficient post:

My honest opinion is young men are largely in a bed of their own making.
I work with a lot of women in their 20s and their dating stories are so bleak. Xbox-addicted man children with no career prospects, listening to figures like Andrew Tate who say women are responsible for all their problems.
Even the 5/10 men of my generation managed to get jobs. There was one slightly cute, socially awkward guy I went to high school with who ran a lockpick shop next to the mall. It was successful enough for him to buy a house. He would be considered a catch today because he could hold a conversation and took agency over his own life.
The truth is everyone has it tough, and no one is going to get out of all their problems by blaming it on the other gender.

Or becoming the other gender, for that matter. As previously explained, John/“Brianna” has failed at everything he/“she” has ever done, and in nothing did he/“she” fail worse than being a man. It would be interesting to know the context of Wu’s assertion, “I work with a lot of women in their 20s.” Where do you do this? Because I’m pretty sure that the one thing you are not doing is work. If John/“Brianna” has recently begun an actual job somewhere, this news would shock the world, but my guess is that “work with” actually means chat with on the Internet, which is pretty creepy — the deranged middle-aged tranny freak sliding into the DMs of unsuspecting 20-something girls. At any rate, what could be more laughable than John/“Brianna” presuming to criticize young men for being “Xbox-addicted man children with no career prospects”? Exactly what “career prospects” has the former John Flynn achieved?

Frank Wu and his ‘wife’ Brianna

Is this one of those “career prospects” young men should have?

The story told by Brianna Wu’s critics is that John Walker Flynt got $200,000 from his parents to fund a start-up company that was supposed to produce video games, and then promptly spent much of that “investment” on a sex-change operation. Whether that’s what actually happened, I can’t say, but Brianna’s company Giant Spacekat Studios produced exactly one game, Revolution 60, which sucked, and thus his/“her” entire claim to being a “game developer” is based on a failure.

Don’t take any advice from this person about anything.
