Left-wing extremism linked to psychopathy and narcissism: study

Antifa Mugshots Portland

Left-wing extremism is linked to toxic, psychopathic tendencies and narcissism, according to a new study published to the peer-reviewed journal Current Psychology.

“Based on existing research, we expected individuals with higher levels of left-wing authoritarianism to also report higher levels of narcissism,” the authors wrote.

As result of the new data, study authors Ann Krispenz and Alex Bertrams have coined a new term for such psychological behavior: the “dark-ego-vehicle principle.”

A sound analysis.

How a tech mogul’s murder exposed Silicon Valley’s underbelly of sex and drugs

When Bob Lee, a 43-year-old technology executive, was stabbed to death in the small hours of the morning on a San Francisco street, it looked like a brutal instance of the Californian city’s urban decay.

Commentators including Elon Musk said the case was yet another example of “horrific” crime in the city and others said they feared for their safety.

The story quickly unravelled, however. Lee was attacked in a relatively quiet part of town and, despite its problems with theft and open-air drug use, the city’s murder rate is relatively low.

Trudeau government looking for ways to shovel more money to CBC

Minister reviewing CBC’s mandate with eye to making it less reliant on advertising

OTTAWA – Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez is hinting that the Liberal government’s online news bill could help the national public broadcaster become less reliant on advertising dollars.

Rodriguez says he has begun reviewing CBC/Radio-Canada’s mandate, including ways the government can provide more funds to the public broadcaster.

Rodriguez’s mandate letter from the prime minister says the goal in providing more money is to eliminate advertising during news and other public affairs shows.

Lord knows CBC doesn’t get enough money now.

Roger Waters condemns ‘disingenuous’ attacks after criticism of Nazi-style costume at Berlin concert

Roger Waters, a founding member of Pink Floyd, is speaking out after receiving backlash — and becoming the subject of a German police investigation — for wearing a costume that resembled a Nazi uniform during two recent concerts in Berlin.

The musician, who is currently on his “This Is Not A Drill” farewell tour, denounced the “bad faith attacks” that have been made against him by those aiming to “smear and silence me because they disagree with my political views and moral principles” in a statement on social media on Friday.

Eco-anxiety: Salvation Through Terror

The American Psychological Association (APA) does not yet consider it a pathology per se, although it is affecting more and more people; but it has already provided a definition: “Fear that can occur chronically from environmental cataclysm or from observing the seemingly irrevocable impact of climate change.” This is ‘eco-anxiety,’ a psychological condition related to the climate emergency.

Awareness of a hypothetical climate apocalypse is reportedly causing more and more individuals to fall into grief and despair, suffer panic attacks, and give up life projects, such as having children, because they see the planet’s overpopulation and a high quality of life as incompatible. And “if adults are extraordinarily worried, children are terrified,” warns Danish environmentalist Bjorn Lomborg.

Are electric vehicles really the future?

When it comes to cars, tomorrow can take its good old time in charging ahead

It’s a cloudless spring day, made for a country drive. Chartreuse trees explode with pollen and glow to near neon. I wind past pastures and stone and brick farmhouses and amiable old barns that could set the scene of a Beatrix Potter story, elatedly adding to the hum of provincial enterprise by perfecting my rev-matching skills over the rolling hills and 8mph switchbacks that mark PA-74.

Resisting the Alphabet Reich

They reduce the individual to something sub-human, to mere sexual desire or preferred pronouns.

On Thursday of this week, “Pride Month” will be upon us once again, and the LGBTQ lobby is harder at work than perhaps ever before. Whether it’s Target pushing trans-oriented “tucking” and “binding” clothes for toddlers or the Los Angeles Dodgers dubbing an anti-Catholic hate group composed of drag performers “community heroes,” the rainbow mafia’s stormtroopers in stilettos are marching on, trampling anyone in their path. Why is the LGBTQ lobby so powerful? Why are its adherents — relatively few in number — such ardent devotees? And why has the alphabet reich’s socio-political blitzkrieg advanced with such devastating alacrity?

‘Daughters of Anarchy’: Iranian women fight for the right to ride motorbikes

Before the 1979 revolution that brought the Islamic authorities to power in Iran, women were allowed to ride motorbikes, but since then it has become a legal grey area.

According to the law, there is no outright ban on women holding motorcycle licences, but there is also no text guaranteeing this right for women. Therefore, authorities in Tehran have systematically refused to issue motorbike licences to women.

Nolte: Tired Franchise Films Turn Moviegoing into Rerun Season

Just the other day, I realized I no longer care about film franchises.

And you are talking to someone who was a big fan of the Fast and the Furious, Iron Man, Star Wars, James Bond, Batman, Superman, Mission: Impossible, Indiana Jones, Transformers, Toy Story, Star Trek, Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, X-Men, Terminator, Planet of the Apes, The Conjuring…I am no snob. But now…?

Biden’s Handlers Think They Have a NATO Ally in Erdogan. But Erdogan Has Other Ideas.

Old Joe Biden’s congratulatory message to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan upon his highly questionable (hey, what election isn’t these days?) reelection was boilerplate from whoever writes his tweets, but nevertheless, it revealed yet again the growing gap between the world views of the two men. That gap has serious geopolitical implications that go all the way back to the anniversary that was observed on the day after the Turkish strongman’s reelection: May 29 marked 570 years since the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks and the extinguishing, after over two thousand years of continual existence, of the Roman Empire.
