“Q: What do you think is the primary artistic/cultural difference between the pro-Sad Puppies and anti-Sad Puppies camps?  What is the primary political/ideological difference between the two groups?

“JCW: The two camps are divided by a very clear and deep difference, which is neither artistic nor cultural. It has some political aspects, but the difference is more fundamental than any disagreement over laws and policies. There are ideological excuses given for motives, but the true motives run deeper, to the very core of the soul, and ideology is only a surface feature.

“The divide is a religious war.

“Do not be deceived by phrases like political correctness and social justice warfare. Politics and society are side effects of deeper differences, which are essentially religious in the sense that religion springs out of a man’s most profound beliefs about life and death, man and morality, cosmos and chaos and the ultimate causes of all things.

“Political correctness is a religion in everything but theology. It provides the cultists with answers to all life’s basic questions, gives meaning and purpose to their lives, and forms the basis of their social interactions with others. It is their atmosphere.

“Religious war are not fought over this issue or that issue, over this parcel of land or that. Such wars are fought over the eternal fate of men’s souls. They are fought over all things together as a whole. They are fought over the universe. No one thing is at stake. Everything is at stake.

“Allow me to explain the background from my coign of vantage, so you will understand why I make this extraordinary claim.”

RE:View Star Trek The Motion Picture

One of my earliest memories is the landing of Apollo 11.  My parents woke me up for it and dragged me downstairs so that I could wobble bleary-eyed on my father’s lap as Eagle came down to rest at Tranquility Base.  I couldn’t make out what Armstrong said.  The interference was bad that morning. But […]

No Common Ground, No Compromise

One of the leading lights of the Evil Legion of Evil, John C. Wright, reminds us of the the irreconcilable differences between the SJWs of science fiction and the Sad Puppies: The difference between the Puppies and the Morlocks is not artistic, cultural, political nor ideological. We are civilized folk who can have a civilized […]

Bob Iger Claims We Don’t Know What Woke Means

From Vanity Fair: “The term woke is thrown around rather liberally,” Iger said. “I think a lot of people don’t really understand what it means.” I do, Bob! I do! Shall I tell you what it means? Given that you’ve a got a rich Boomers grasp of the social issues surrounding it, you probably do […]

Time is Running Out on NATO

Tom Luongo explains why it’s time for the USA to extricate itself from NATO and let it collapse: NATO cannot and should not survive these stresses if its intended victims, Russia/China/Iran, fight even remotely competently. And they are. They all understand that this is a race against a political and economic clock in the West […]
