The Civil War Was Caused By Capitalism

Editor’s Note: The photo above isn’t recent. It comes from a Confederate Memorial Day event we attended in St. Louis in 2015. Also, I will continue to update this article throughout the day.

I get so tired of being pigeon holed with labels.

The truth is that I have a wide variety of interests. I write a lot about current affairs and politics on this blog, but the truth is that half the time I am spending my days studying history, philosophy, religion and economics. I’ve also been doing lots of low-carb dieting, weight lifting and fasting. This is why I gradually became less and less active writing on this blog in 2018.

Ever since my college days when I became interested in Friedrich Nietzsche and Michel Foucault, my whole approach to writing and analyzing things has been to look at it through a historical lens and trace the development. This is how I look at what we have come to “morality” in the 21st century. It is the fundamental reason why I don’t believe in this “morality” too.

Go take a look at Woke Twitter.

Those people spend all their time getting offended, staying mad and witch hunting heretics over their very serious “moral” values. These values are essentially a laundry list of -isms and -phobias that constitute the confession of political correctness.

Where does this shit come from? What are the roots of it? If you were, say, a Renaissance humanist and wanted to trace it back to the sources (Ad fontes), what would you find? You would find that this moral creed as we know it today DID NOT EXIST a century ago.
