The Disappointment of Diaspora

Immigration is not the solution. Not for the individual. Not for the masses. As a great educator once said, ‘You must first put your own house in order before you go out and change the world.’ Stay home. Work hard. Apply yourself. And you will change your life where you belong. Near your kin. With your own folk. Moving to a distant land is disappointing. Especially now when governments are turning authoritarian. Owning a home is not easy without the government dictating the terms. You’re not a homeowner if you must pay taxes on top of taxes for the privilege of owning a house. If you want to be free and dispose of your property as you see fit, Canada is not right for you.

It would be crazy. No way. So many people continue to act on the delusion that their choice really makes a difference. … Continue reading The Absconding Freedom →

On Robber Barons

Funny thing how the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Let’s consider knighthood, for instance. It all started like this, which was the ideal of the valiant knight who would sacrifice his own life to protect and succour the weak, the feeble, women and children, in short those who couldn’t protect themselves.

A Disputation

Antisemitism does have a silver lining, just not for the Jewish people. Life is Sardonic, eh! Turns out a good deed doesn’t earn you another. For if this were true, Jews would be celebrated as the saviors of Poland from the Black Death. Instead, they became the scapegoats of a 2,000-year long blood libel that unjustly marked them as deicides in Christendom. If you want to know more about the motives behind this, step right in.
