Hypergenderism on the campaign trail. RFK Jr. getting the gender-affirming care he needs!
You might have seen the sad videos going around of RFK Jr. doing pushups and incline presses and showing off his old head and young man bod at Gold’s Gym in Venice — and yet not being able to complete a single full repetition. It’s pretty clear he juicing — some kind of mix of testosterone and HGH. If he’s for living naturally and against PHARMA evil, why is he pumping himself full of synthetic hormones? And who does he think produces this stuff? The biggest pharma corps on the planet: Sandoz, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Merck…Anyway, if you’re curious about what RJK’s injecting into his thighs, there’s a great short podcast ep about it: The Work of RFK's Bench Press.
Speaking of RFK dosing himself with hormones to stay looking youthful and virile, I’d like to call attention to something I call hypergenderism. That’s when people use body mod tech to affirm their existing gender, not change it. Surgeries, hormones, implants, fillers, bone lengthening, hair plugs, more chiseled chins for the incels — anything that makes you look more like what you think an ideal man or woman should look like. Hypergenderism is basically accepted by just about everyone in our society. There’s no conflict there. I mean, check out this news segment about an Atlanta man who had his legs broken over a 3-month period to extend his height from 5-feet-5-inches to 6-feet so he could become a “better version” of himself. As he explained, he now feels much better about his identity — he’s more of a man and loves all the attention he’s been getting from the ladies. “Women have said some crazy things to me, especially since the surgery. They know it'll take another six months before I'm fully up and running, and I've noticed no one seems to care that I have two broken legs,” he laughed. Six feet. Like a real man should be. A successful hypergender transition!
Anyway, enough about RFK and gender. Let’s run down some stories I’ve been reading…

A review of a Marx in the Anthropocene: Towards the Idea of Degrowth Communism by Kohei Saito, which was an unexpected bestseller in Japan and has now been translated into English. — “as he neared the end of his life, Marx turned increasingly to the natural sciences and became deeply convinced that the endless growth associated with capitalism could not be harnessed for human or environmental purposes. Rather, as Saito details, Marx understood that communism would deliver both abundance and degrowth.
Haven’t been following this war for a while but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Azerbaijan is now poised to totally take control of Nagorno-Karabakh, after a brutal invasion — which included real ethnic cleansing, human rights violations, and credible threats of genocide. An invasion that was essentially okay’ed by America and Europe. Shows you that some countries get to wage nationalistic wars against their neighbors with no repercussions, so long as they are strategic to America’s interests.
…I spent a bunch of time in Nagorno-Karabakh back in 2006. I also wrote about the start of this most recent invasion by Azerbaijan and why America’s liberal establishment has been so quiet about it.
About the Wagner mutiny or coup or march for justice that continues to vex the Russian Expert Complex: Evgenia and I recorded a pretty great episode about it — Prigozhin vs Putin. And I went on a couple of podcasts to talk about it: here and here.
