White Antifragility: Wokeism as White Supremacism
Signaling Against White Supremacy *IS* Literally White Supremacy
•�June 19, 2021
•�1,000 Words •�107 Comments
A week ago so a minor kerfuffle within the ranks of the "IDW", with Quillette editor Claire Lehmann attaqing James Lindsay for promoting "White Genocide Theory". Is White Genocide happening? Is it likely to happen in a country like the US? Well, as wits such as Roko pointed out, it is surely more likely than... Read More
Wokeness as White Supremacism
Why Western SJWs are the Real Racists
•�March 21, 2021
•�600 Words •�172 Comments
Bold but not entirely trollish interpretation of the Great Awokening. Western - White American - culture remains hegemonic around the world, even as its economic and military preponderance slips away. Assuming this cultural hegemony remains intact, cultural "innovations" that arise in the imperial metropolis inevitably seep their way into the colonies. This is obviously correct... Read More
Criminalizing the Meme War
•�January 27, 2021
•�300 Words •�35 Comments
This is the creative group responsible for peddling RASHN DEZINFORMATSIYA like the "Draft our Daughters" and Taylor "The Ten-Ton Terror of Tel Aviv" Swift meme campaign. These people were all kicked off Twitter and Blompf did nothing about it, one of many things that contributed to him losing in 2020. Who knows, with margins being... Read More
Multiracial White Supremacy at Mankind Quarterly
•�September 13, 2020
•�100 Words •�32 Comments
Twitter HBD buff Ion Râmaru (Romanian, so not white) draws attention to the very diverse makeup of the Mankind Quarterly's editorial board. That's at least 12/20 who are not white, though it should really be 16/20 on account of the two Russians and two Serbs not being white either. Indeed, would this not constitute even... Read More
Treaty of Trianon Expires Today
•�June 4, 2020
•�200 Words •�84 Comments
The Treaty of Trianon formally expired today, correcting one of the very greatest injustices of world history, which stranded three million ethnic Hungarians outside their country's borders. Worst day of every Hungarians' life is now formally annulled! Even as I write, reports are coming in that "Can't Turban the Orban" has ordered his armored divisions... Read More
#RussianLivesMatter
•�June 3, 2020
•�300 Words •�110 Comments
The other day, Russian libertarians launched a #RussianLivesMatter action today in response to a police shooting. (The history behind this remains murky). But there were misunderstandings with Ameriburgers for "appropriating" the BLM hashtag, which were supported by Russian SJWs. So, Russian libertarians vs. US #BLM + Russian SJWdom. But also involved in the conflict were... Read More
Empress Tessa's Sojourn in Moscow
•�October 30, 2019
•�200 Words •�133 Comments
Tessa Violet is an American singer of modest popularity and talent who kick-started her career by video-blogging and lip syncing songs. Here is her most popular music video to date: This isn't exactly a pop culture blog, so why am I writing about her? Basically her imperial flag-colored hair has made her into a minor... Read More

This is one of the most powerful websites I have ever encountered. Can anything possibly come close to its power levels?
Limits to Calculating Space
•�February 28, 2019
•�200 Words •�25 Comments
There are 10^23 to 10^24 neurons on the planet. The human brain has around 86 billion neurons. World population * human neurons = 10^~10*11^~10 = 10^~21 (slightly less, but let's round up). This means the human population can "safely" increase by at least two more orders of magnitude to 1 to 10 trillion, so the... Read More
Censorship Update
•�February 11, 2019
•�1,200 Words •�23 Comments
My post on the maximum world population drew a large number of "powerful takes" - unfortunately, powerful in the bad sense of the word - idiotic trolling (humorous trolling is allowed), ad hominems, conspiracy SIFs, negative value added, etc. While I appended the MORE tag to a bunch of them, I was also forced to...

Russian Trolls Are HBD-Aware
•�October 20, 2018
•�100 Words •�56 Comments
From the latest DoJ indictment of Russian trolls [pdf]: LOL. Anyhow, the excerpts suggest that Russian trolls have a surprisingly sophisticated understanding of American trigger points. That said, I don't quite see how this kind of "Internet research" qualifies as conspiring to "commit offense against" or "defraud" the United States (18 U.S. Code § 371).
"Star Wars: the Last Jedi" Fail Due to Russian Nazi Trolls
•�October 2, 2018
•�200 Words •�185 Comments
Hollywood Reporter: 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Negative Buzz Amplified by Russian Trolls, Study Finds It obviously has nothing at all to do with any issues hinted at by the discrepancy between its 4.5/10 user rating and 8.5
Mueller Bans Foreign Criticism of America
•�February 20, 2018
•�1,100 Words •�145 Comments
There's nothing particularly new or interesting per se in the 37 page indictment of 13 Russian nationals, including its head Evgeny Prigozhin, for "meddling" in the US elections through online trolling. The existence of the Internet Research Agency - or "Olgino", as it is known in Russia, after the location of the first "troll factory"... Read More
RationalWiki Hagiography

•�400 Words •�321 Comments
Is here at last: It is almost certainly courtesy of Internet lolcow Oliver D. Smith (Twitter), with whom I had this short exchange a few hours before its publication: Although I appreciate their help in actualizing my potential, there are a number of errors that I wish to clear up. Anatoly Karlin is a Russian... Read More
Reactions to #SyriaStrikes
•�April 7, 2017
•�500 Words •�17 Comments
I'll have a more serious post on this soon enough, but for now, reactions from some of the more important and interesting players. Although they are present, the "anti-globalist" crowd - Steve Bannon and his allies, Stephen Miller and Michael Anton - are relegated to the back, while the likes of Jared Kushner occupy a...

Sectarian Tensions Flare in US After Orlando Pogrom
•�June 13, 2016
•�1,000 Words •�29 Comments
Eurasian News Agency ENA (8am Moscow/1am EST) The Republicat regime has been shaken to its core in the wake of a brazen massacre of fifty members of the Orlando LGBT tribe at a gay club by an apparently lone gunman of the Wahhabi sect. Regime stalwart Marco Rubio, present at the scene, emerged shaken but... Read More
Mein Wille Ist Eure Richtschnur
•�March 24, 2016
•�300 Words •�5 Comments
So, basically, the internets to Microsoft's self-learning Twitter AI bot @TayandYou: "My will is your guide." Although her SJW creators took care to provide canned responses to questions concerning Gamergate, this only spurred the Twitter shitlords on to discover other ways to exploit innocent Tay. Her developers raced to keep up: "They also appeared to... Read More
My "Debate" with Leonid Bershidsky on IQ/Immigration
•�January 22, 2016
•�300 Words •�15 Comments
Leonid Bershidsky is a democratic journalist who immigrated to Germany from Russia when Putin triggered him one too many times in 2014. Most of his articles deal with Eastern Europe in general and the Eternal Collapse of Russia under Putin in specific (though to be fair he is far from the worst Russia journalist out... Read More
The USA as a Communal Apartment
•�November 25, 2015
•�900 Words •�37 Comments
One of the most memorably vivid characterizations of the USSR was as a communal apartment, in which every ethnicity had its own room. Except the majority Russians, who had to make do with the foyer while paying the bulk of the rent, which didn't make them too happy. In some sense, US Whites are not... Read More

Here is one of the most popular feel-good #refugeeswelcome cartoons going round the Internets these past few days by the cartoonist John Cole: Of course, one not inconsiderable problem is that a disturbingly big percentage of Syrian refugees - some 13% of them, according to a November 2014 poll by the Arab Center for Research...

Ben Garrison Makes /Pol/ Redundant
•�November 15, 2015
•�100 Words •�18 Comments
Ben "Shishkebab" Garrison, the most trolled cartoonist on the Internet, is increasingly making the artistic efforts of his most devoted fans redundant. And here he was warning us of Eurabia a few days before the Paris terrorist attacks. It is now evident that he never was just the standard, run-of-the-mill libertarian cartoonist that the shills...

About Anatoly Karlin

I am a blogger, thinker, and businessman in the SF Bay Area. I’m originally from Russia, spent many years in Britain, and studied at U.C. Berkeley.

One of my tenets is that ideologies tend to suck. As such, I hesitate about attaching labels to myself. That said, if it’s really necessary, I suppose “liberal-conservative neoreactionary” would be close enough.

Though I consider myself part of the Orthodox Church, my philosophy and spiritual views are more influenced by digital physics, Gnosticism, and Russian cosmism than anything specifically Judeo-Christian.
