Some of Dave’s interviews have been interesting. I used to like his show. But over time he’s just become a Republican brown noser. He reminds me of a less intelligent version of the Communist intellectuals from the 20th century who would do a “God That Failed” about-face and […]

This guy is a douchebag who built his career as an arch-drug warrior and arch-police statist in the 80s and 90s, so fuck him. But it is interesting how the new popular front/ruling class unity regime continues to purge and/or co-opt the opposition. So far, they are using […]
A view from the left. By Rachelle Hampton and Madison Malone Kircher Slate “Stay woke” started as a call to action, but social media and SNL have made the term increasingly meaningless. The word woke is all over our phones, our TV screens, and even the campaign trail, […]
A paleconservative critique, Traditional Right Across the country, grass roots resistance to “critical race theory” is growing, and that is a good thing. But what is critical race theory and where did it come from? At its core, critical race theory is the argument that all white people […]
From a black conservative law professor’s perspective. BY ELLA KIETLINSKA AND JOSHUA PHILIPP Epoch Times Critical Race Theory training, which pressures people not to say certain things, take a certain stance, or forces them into some segregated settings, may infringe on people’s constitutional rights and even violate civil rights laws, said […]

A relatively nuanced discussion of this topic from a generally “liberal” perspective.

Americans are becoming more demographically integrated along socioeconomic, geographical, institutional, and cultural lines, but more fractured along partisan and social class lines. Tucker Carlson Today on Fox Nation […]
Here’ my take on this “critical race theory” controversy. “Conservatives” (at least those of the pop-culture variety) have started using “critical race theory” as a label for anything they find ideologically objectionable. The same way they use woke, SJW, politically correct, etc. Actual CRT is something much narrower […]
The far-right political movement known as QAnon has taken off around the world, mobilising a committed band of believers dedicated to fighting what they claim is an ‘online war’ against corrupt, child abusing elites.
