Some of the reviews of Vox’s Innocence And Intellect, 2001-2005 (The Collected Columns) point out that the retrospective of his articles was unusually prescient:
I wish everyone could read Vox’s columns from about 2005. The second book of essays. That’s what really let me know I was dealing with an intellect. Vox was calling out feminists and muslims as allies before Obama was President, ten years before Conservative Inc even noticed. Those columns hold up extremely well – if you’ve been on the fence, each essay is about a five minute read and contains the perfect mix of military news, sports comments, leftist lunacy, conservative bumbling. Really good.
If you want to develop your intellect to follow on behind Vox’s, he has released the first video in his Voxiveristy Series, Immigration and War.
It is also available at the below sites:
As Vox said:
If you would like to support Voxiversity, you can do so here. Doing so will send a powerful message to the SJWs that they cannot erase history and they cannot evade the truth. But if you’d like to comment on the video, I’m afraid you’re going to have to do so here. And please feel free to download the video and spread it around. That’s exactly what it’s there for.
I thought his premise was good, and blindingly obvious to anyone who is paying attention, but his layout could have been a bit better. I was expecting more explaination of Crevolds “imegration is conquest by other means/as bad as war”. Rather than a more general “immigration leads to war. War leads to refugees which is immigration leading to war”
For those who’ve missed it (history). When you have two divergent cultures trying to occupy the same land, they fight. Be they gangs in NYC during the 1880s or 1980s or a group of Zoastrians fighting off a group of Muslims (Persian about AD 700 to 900). The two cultures are in conflict and do what they can to resolve it.
There is someone who has put forward the idea instead of Crevolds generations of war, which are specifics to gunpowder, a more general gravity of war that is cyclical and describes the sort of opposing forces used. He has its called zero to five. I don’t recall what one and two are, only that three is the sort of military force and invasion we used in WW2 and four is a sort of guerilla warfare.
His number zero/five ( it is on a sort of circle) is total cultural anillation. Zero is the effective elimination of the group through physical deaths (genocides). Five is more subtle, is is total cultural replacement. This has happened in Europe when it was Christianized. The prior pagan cultures through many decades were totally replaced and those cultures are in their way as dead as if the people had been genocided.
I guess it is worth noting that the culture of a people is always in a bit of flux, just sometimes it is in more than others. And thus there is almost always a bit of “who are we asa people ” going on, or at least in most European cultures.
Voxiveristy Series, Immigration and War is excelent. It really triggered me in just how far we have moved towards chaos with the extreme numbers of immigrants.
The last commenters talked about cycles. I believe n this also. The books on population attitude cycles I think are very good and accurate in a general way. I believe they are prophetic bit also that there’s not an iron clad way you can predict these things.

There’s a very, very good set of books that are based on cycles of technology and this predicts the power of offense vs. defense. It’s based on what they call Metapolitics which is merely how power is expressed through violence. This balance is a MAJOR predictor to all kinds of long term trends. The three books they wrote were for investors and have a lot of verbiage in them that would only interest investors but they also have a great amount of really brilliant stuff. After reading these books I can actually see the trends rippling throughout society on the news. On the news it’s presented as a bunch of random stuff but if you look at through the eyes of the authors you can readily see these patterns. Some of the reading in these is a slog but if you’re interesting in history, military power and how society is shaped by these based on technology you won’t be disappointed. A quick example. All of Europe was feudal but then comes gunpowder and cannons. In no time all the feudal age was blown away and large national countries were formed. Another is gunpowder. Gunpowder blew away the the feudal system. It concentrated power in large states that could raise the money for cannons and large armies. A large stone castle could be blasted to bit in days instead of a year long siege. To control an area took a lot of Men not just one small castle. Gunpowder is a tech that makes offense stronger than defense. You need large armies, big guns, lots of large countries with big populations and manpower. We are now moving in the opposite direction. The microcomputer is making defense more powerful. A small missile with brains can sink a multi-billion dollar aircraft carrier. This is bad news and good news. It means smaller political boundaries are more manageable but it will not stop the ruthless who can cause more havoc with less resources. If people start deciding the deep state is a imminent threat to their lives and start attacking them the DS could be put down very fast. An example. What if all these Sheriff’s that are covering up the parkland shooting were to be taken out one by one anonymously? (Not that I’m advocating this) The deep states power is that you can get away with stuff. Once they lose that it will become way more difficult to keep these people in line. With instant manufacture of metal and plastic parts that you can do now, using drone navigation parts and very powerful ubiquitous computer processing the phrase “Army of One” could become a real thing. The last two are the vest but I like all of them.
