The War in Afghanistan Is What Happens When McKinsey Types Run Everything

The United States so reviles itself, it might actually break up
Increasingly, I am coming across more and more articles of this kind, both in the liberal and conservative media, including in publications like GQ that aren’t primarily political. When I first started promoting the idea of pan-secessionism, most sympathizers were, as Matthew Lyons pointed out, “a wide variety […]
Texas’ abortion ban is authoritarian
One thing that is really interesting is that while the general culture and institutions have taken a sharp turn leftward in recent times, the right-wing undercurrents have moved further rightward. This works in the favor of the pan-secessionist framework because of the escalation of tensions involved. A revival […]
Chief Justice Roberts doesn’t seem ready to overturn Roe, but Texas ruling suggests 5 other conservatives may be
When it comes to mainstream politics, I’d say there are two priorities right now. One is preventing the Reaganites and neocons from making a full comeback on the right, and the other is preventing a full totalitarian humanist takeover from the left. The optimal situation is one where […]
Who’s the Criminal? Anarchist Assassinations and the Normative Conflict about Legitimate Violence

Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff causes a stir in Baywatch-style swimsuit with a twist
This article is relevant because Kamala is woke capital’s handpicked successor to Uncle Joe the Pedo.

Promoting Harris’ hideous stepdaughter […]
‘Taliban’ accounts mock USA and western culture with Pepe the Frog and other ‘edgy’ memes
OpIndia.Com If people had any doubt that 2021 could get even crazier, then it is safe to say that Qasr Bakhaly of the Taliban has safely dispelled any such notions. After the end of the 20 year US occupation of Afghanistan, the Taliban is mocking the United States […]
Billionaire hatches ambitious plan to create an entire new city in the US
This is obviously a mixed bag because it is reminiscent of the “company towns” of the industrial revolution but, big picture-wise, I believe this helps fuel the pan-secessionist strategic paradigm in the same way that CHAZ/CHOP was a step in the right direction from the other side of […]
Even Giants Fall…

How the Cultural Left Became an Authoritarian Force
From a thread on a social media page. This nails it. The only qualification might be that I don’t know that “liberal” is really the right word for it, and terms like “cultural Marxist” are even more off base. I’d say “progressive” in the historic American sense is […]
24 possible GOP presidential candidates in 2024

Trump Plans Iowa Rally, Hires Political Operatives TEASING 2024 Run

Biden Tells Critics To Shove It In Final Afghanistan Speech

Tucker Carlson Cucked To Deep State On Afghanistan
Here’s the problem with conservatives: if you tell them that they shouldn’t listen to Tucker Carlson because his own lawyers said his show is entertainment and not news, they’ll respond with something like “that’s smart! Now he can speak the truth without the radical socialists censoring him!” Their […]
