As is more often the case than not, I've been remiss in posting here. Nothing much new to report. The cosmos remains destroyed by Leftists and life goes on with a limp and one glaring bloodshot eye. As I've mentioned a few times before, if one wants a more regular and virtually daily sense of my thoughts on matters current, a far more useful place to go would be my Twitter account @ArguiteAdVodkam. The combination we must reasonably assume is sociopolitical reality -- namely, of conspiracy and non-conspiracy intertwined (if only often by necessity) -- remains an odd concept to contemplate. And it remains conceptual to the extent that we -- at least we peasants (a term which comprises the vast majority of us observers of the ongoing unfolding catastrophe of the West, including those quasi-grifting semi-famous pundits who put on airs of being more in the know than is plausible) -- cannot really know enough to comprehend the puzzle's totality and must perforce deal with a few pieces as we conjecture and make reasonable inferences. The phenomenon would be easier to grasp were it not a paradox, and we could lapse back into either relaxing into "there is no conspiracy, there's just the perennial problem of corruption waxing and waning" -- or into the gnostic conviction that "everything is the Matrix". A combination of the two is much more difficult to wrap one's head around (and from there, to analyze); but we intuit it's the most realistic.
