The Fifth Twink
Steyn Online ^ | 6 Feb 2026 | Mark Steyn

It's all connected. I don't just mean in the sense that the various degenerates and perverts who afflict our world all seem reminiscent of similar degenerates and perverts on other continents: Thus the son of the Crown Princess of Norway, presently on trial in Oslo for the rapes of four women, comes across merely as this season's Hunter Biden, albeit considerably less lavishly remunerated and without (yet) a short-lived artistic pre-eminence. But, more parochially, I am thinking of the reflections - through a glass, darkly - of the wretched headlines in this little website's above-mentioned musical content. Thus, a famous song by the late Alan and Marilyn Bergman:

Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone...

Do we ever reach the last tunnel? The final cavern? I think one can take it as read that there the sun has never shone. And, should one ever locate it, is it just an outpost of Philip K Dick's Simulacra? Or the Hollywood Matrix trannies' simulacra? Or is the tranny simulacrum just a simulacrum of the Dick simulacrum, and vice-versa?

Well, if this little pervert being compared to Hunter, did the dweeb impregnate any of the women he raped? Just wonderin’.

The most depressing Steyn article I’ve read. Steyn usually finds a way to express the worst in the most upbeat fashion. Not this time.

We have one old lion and a few young ones left to lead us out of the caves…

That sad little monster is just a symptom of a problem that is so much worse. He’s small time. A wannabe. If you go to Mark’s site to read the whole article (and no annoying pop-ups or videos) you’ll discover the UK (and the West generally) is being led into an abyss by “perverts and Muslims” who’ve been worming their way both insidiously and “in plain sight” for decades.

I red him only when he pops up on FR. But, yes his perspective seems to have darkened.

Liberal pseudochristianity turned the Decalogue into the Ten Suggestions.

Many decades ago H. Richard Niebuhr indicted liberal Protestantism for teaching:

"a God without wrath who brings humans without sin into a kingdom without judgment through a Christ without a cross."

Every orthodox Christian should commit that antiCreed to memory.

Steyn is welcome to scavenge through the swamp across the pond.

I’ll keep my scavenging here in my homeland.

If I’ve learned anything on my over a quarter of a century on FR, I have learned this.

Bill Clinton was the lowest man to hold the highest office since Caligula.

He earned that distinction long before he met Epstein.

And his crimes went beyond the sexual and there is a body count to prove it.

I can never forgive or forget those crimes.

To me, the most depressing thought, given the darkness in the hearts of those who are anti-goodness, is that secular society has no pathway to change that darkness to light.

As it is written, “If your light be darkness, how great is that darkness.”

Good One, Lightman!
