History doesn’t repeat — it just logs back in.
When Tucker Carlson hosted Nick Fuentes, it wasn’t journalism. It was marketing.Antisemitism has become the new clickbait — the oldest hatred rebranded for the algorithm.
From Pharaoh to Twitter, every civilization that runs out of ideas finds a Jew to blame. And now, thanks to social media, that hatred isn’t whispered in the alley; it’s monetized in HD.
Conservatism’s task isn’t to tolerate “controversial ideas.” It’s to draw the line where civilization must stand.

In this episode of Firing Lane, Croaky Caiman steps into the world of Shakespeare’s Richard II to explore what happens when power becomes performance and leadership dissolves into self-admiration. The Bard’s most poetic king becomes a mirror for every modern ruler who mistakes applause for legitimacy and rhetoric for governance.
From divine right to divine ratings, Croaky dissects the psychology of authority — why even kings fall when they forget that crowns are meant to weigh, not float. With humor, historical insight, and a few pointed contemporary parallels, this episode connects Shakespeare’s tragedy to our own age of theatrical politics, where every mirror still waits for its Richard.
💬 “Every age has its Richard. The names change, the hairlines recede, but the soliloquy of self-adoration remains the same.”

🕯️ October 7th was not just an attack on Israel. It was an attack on civilization itself.
Grandparents burned alive. Children executed on livestream. And within days, Western academics and influencers were lighting candles—for the murderers.
This isn’t about borders or policy. This is about remembering what happens when evil is rebranded as “resistance,” and human life becomes a debate-team exercise.
Listen for why “Never Again” must mean something. And why forgetting October 7th ensures it will happen again.
