Megachurches, private jets, big money. We are real Christians
There is a man in America. He has three private jets, a mansion with gold-plated faucets, and a wife whose face has been rearranged by plastic surgeons more times than the Bible has been translated. He preaches on a stage that looks like a rock concert, surrounded by LED screens, fog machines, and a choir…

When slant-eyed politician promotes white race
The Czech Republic has a mentally retarded and psychiatric ill electorate. Let us not mince words about it. This is not an insult; this is a clinical observation of a populace that has, for decades, been fed a steady diet of cheap beer, cheaper propaganda, and the comforting lullaby of victimhood. They have forgotten history,…

A circus came to the US. After years, the show was over
Once upon a time, there was a country called the United States. Long ago, its politics appeared ordinary. Presidents were often highly educated, institutions generally functioned, and although democracy was far from perfect, many people believed it still worked well enough. As the years passed, however, something changed. Invisible strings slowly spread across the kingdom.…

Zohran Mamdani: No distinction between radical and secular Islam
The election of New York City’s new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, once again exposed one of the biggest weaknesses of modern political debate. For many people, the word “Muslim” immediately evokes terrorism, religious extremism, the September 11 attacks, or authoritarian regimes. Others react in the opposite direction, refusing to acknowledge that Islamist extremism exists at all.…

Pedophilia: “There’ll be a guillotine for this!” And Trump
Since I am open about my lifelong mental health struggles, I am also open about having been institutionalized in a mental hospital. I belong (fortunately) to the small minority of people who need this. So I completely understand people who don’t have a typical sexual orientation. And not everyone needs to be hospitalized (for example).…

Why Democrats and Republicans abandon ideology
Politics is supposed to be driven by ideas. Conservatives should defend conservative principles. Progressives should defend progressive ones. Parties should disagree because they genuinely see the world differently. Voters should know what they are supporting. That is the democratic ideal. Reality looks very different. Modern American politics increasingly resembles a contest of personalities, donors, and…

The Bible: Killing children, rape, homosexuality and much more
Few books have shaped human civilization as profoundly as the Bible. It has inspired magnificent works of art, transformed legal systems, motivated countless charitable movements, and provided meaning to billions of believers throughout history. Even many people who have never opened a Bible live in societies whose moral values have been influenced by its teachings.…

Will smartphones one day listen to us all the time?
Every few months, someone experiences the same unsettling coincidence. They discuss a holiday with a friend, mention a new car, or casually talk about buying a coffee machine. Hours later, advertisements for exactly those products appear on their phone. Many people immediately reach the same conclusion: the smartphone must have been listening. Despite countless anecdotes,…

Make Orwell Fiction Again
George Orwell never intended Nineteen Eighty-Four to become a prophecy. He wrote it as a warning. Published in 1949, the novel reflected his fears after witnessing fascism, Stalinism, and the rise of modern propaganda. Orwell believed that freedom could disappear not only through military conquest but also through gradual political and technological change. A society…
