The Fools' Golden Age

The Fools' Golden Age

By Nathan Payne | pablosmoglives | 10 Sep 2025


"He that is glad at calamities
shall not be unpunished."
Proverbs 17:5

 

When I was a cabdriver, I once told the friend of a terrible fare, who looked at me for mercy after his friend spent the entire ride insulting and abusing me, "you are who you hang out with." He got out of the car unsatisfied, but hopefully realizing that it's true. I hope he adjusted his life accordingly and found some different friends.

 

"I got that white girl."
Decarlos Brown, Jr.

 

I believe the world is post-political, largely because the obsolete ideas posited by the party that used to stand on the Constitution and be anti-war have called for political violence openly for years. Obviously, assassination is not a political solution.

 

"The left is always, at all times
and places, a violent
phenomenon full of hatred."
Javier Milei

Be careful who you hang out with. Make note of anyone you know who celebrates the calamity today in Utah, and keep your distance. They have strapped themselves to a railroad track, and one way or another, will be going down. It's a spiritual law, which means it's stronger than gravity. They're dancing on the edge of the abyss with a nose ring and a selfie stick. Their story will end badly. Don't go with them. Especially if they condemn other people to a place they not only claim not to believe in, but actually believe they are not living proof of.

Like it, believe it, or not, the fools' golden age of proclaiming oneself to be a good bitch is over. If you believe proclamations of indignant virtue are going to save you, think again. The most flammable substance in the universe isn't gasoline, or nitro glycerin, or enriched uranium...

It's sanctimony. Once it ignites, it never goes out.

And it isn't the light of your own irrepressible truth and goodness you see. It's the headlights of an oncoming train.

Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk.
