There's a chance that Styxhexenhammer666 (real name: Tarl Warwick) might be going to jail for a domestic-assault charge. Styx himself is being coy about what specifically is happening; John referred me to this Styx video here:
I haven't watched Styx in a long while. While the guy is a perceptive political commentator, much more perceptive than I am, he's also lacking in a lot of basic education, especially about language (despite his repeated claims to have studied anthropological linguistics or linguistic anthropology), and he's turned out to be a real shit as a person—not only because he's been accused, in the past, of being a Holocaust denier and a defender of Charles Manson, but because he got married to a Dutchwoman named Elisabeth (she ran a YouTube channel called Elisabeth's Philosophy), had a daughter with her, then abandoned her to come back to America... where he hooked up with the chick now accusing him of domestic abuse. I've since found much better alt-media people to watch, like DeVory Darkins and Brandon Lehman. They lack the nerve Styx had to make bold predictions about how the political tide might turn, but they base their commentary on clear bedrock principles and seem to live those principles out in their daily lives, unlike the clearly amoral Styx. To be clear, I'd been aware for a long time that Styx wasn't a savory person, but I tolerated his character to focus on his insights. At some point, though, it all just became too much.
Victor Davis Hanson is another good political podcaster. He's an elder, sane Californian with not much good to say about the last 25 years under democratic rulers and the mass exodus of actual U.S. citizens from that severely taxed natural wonder of a state. However, what he does say is quite thought provoking and reasoned.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've long been a fan of VDH.
