Totalitarianism for Housewives
The common notion of totalitarianism tends to present the broad canvas of all-power state from which we should be wary. Yet, as with all things, totalitarianism begins at home. In this video, we’ll depict how even housewives can develop the totalitarian mentality with no great effort; and how every argument for normalcy, on the contrary, requires supreme efforts.
Of Fathers and Sons: Metaphysics from the Everyday’s Perspective
Traditional metaphysical notion of causality seems like the most abstract thing in the world. In order to demonstrate the opposite, or rather qualify “abstract” in a quite different sense, we’ll take a look at two passages from supposedly the most abstract treatise on the subject: Elements of Theology by Proclus. Simultaneously, we’ll lay out how the notion of unity of cause and effect is quite obvious from the pinnacle moment of growing up from boy into man: a recognition of likeness between father and the son.
Skiagraphia: Internet and the Art of the Shadow Weaving
“How you identify?” “Oh, I identify as …” If you find this Q&A form peculiar, moreover, if you already noticed how it pervades the conversations, replacing the traditional “Who are you?” and “I am …”, invest some of your time into KT’s analysis of the strange cause that just could be underlying this novel, yet only seemingly insignificant, nuance in the form of Internet mediated conversations. It just might cast a peculiar new light on real motives why people seek identitarian movements, conspiracy theories and serial religious conversions.
Cult of Enlightenment and the Conspiracy Culture
The proverbial “conspiracy theorist” slur more often than not hits the mark. But does this exculpate the one throwing it about from further investigation? We think not. In this podcast we’ll take a dip into history of conspiracy theories, beginning with Augustin Barruel, to offer an opinion why modern academics, journalists and pop intellectuals tend to lose their powers of discernment when conspiracy theories are on the menu. Also we lay out some historical facts about inception of antisemitic conspiracy theories, which are mistakenly conflated with original ideas of Barruel and his early fellow travelers, from the so called “Simonini letter” to “Protocols of Learned Elders of Zion”. In this context we offer some updates on scholarship of the subject, which is reinvigorated by some recent works of historians of ideas.
On Principles and Ideologies: A New Year’s Clean Up
Kali Tribune wishes you ponderous and non-ideological holidays. We talk about difference between principles and ideology, peculiarity of internet mediated intellectual viruses, impossibility of total political theory and other light subjects to lead KT over the threshold of the new year.

Suicide Bombers of Modernity
Is there a substantial difference between revolutionaries of the Left and Right? Or, conversely, is there an even deeper identity between nihilists of traditional and progressive bent? What does it mean to be “against the modern world”? KT offers some answers.
