In other words, the rising sectors of the ruling class: the tech oligarchy and the new clerisy. Antony Sutton would have said, “I told you so.” “These were the top campaign contributors to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 2019-2020. An interesting combination of Big Tech, Big Media, a little Big […]
BY MICHAEL DIMOCK AND JOHN GRAMLICH, Pew Research Center Donald Trump stunned the political world in 2016 when he became the first person without government or military experience ever to be elected president of the United States. His four-year tenure in the White House revealed extraordinary fissures in […]
Keith, Emma & RJ Game Stop vs Wall Street, Robinhood, micro-revolts in the United States, Dodger Stadium’s COVID-19 vaccination site temporarily shut down after protesters gather at entrance, Robinhood was supposed to be for the little guy, Citadel, aristocrats pretending to be friends with the peasants, rich people […]
Ken Klippenstein, investigative reporter at The Intercept, Post, joins Emma Vigeland to discuss the fallout from the failed Capitol insurrection in terms of our national security and law enforcement agencies, as well as a potential expansion of indiscriminate terrorism laws to domestic terrorists, and why that’s problematic.
I recently wrote about how January has been the 20 year anniversary of the founding of Attack the System. It is interesting to reflect on what has happened in the subsequent two decades. In 2001, the US empire was arguably at its apex, firmly in control of a […]
For decades, I advocated that anarchists move in a direction more like pan-secessionism. And now some anarchists have picked up the torch. I advocated for a libertarian-influenced insurgency, and now the Boogaloo Boys have picked up the torch. I advocated for a rapprochement between the radical left and […]
An interesting essay on economic history from Kevin Carson. I’ve found that it’s possible to make interesting comparisons and find interesting parallels between different public intellectuals. I’ve said before that Noam Chomsky is the Bertrand Russell of our time, the elder left-liberal icon whose ideas range from the […]
A somewhat interesting discussion of different perspectives on both Trump and historic fascism from a hard-left perspective. The debate still churns among scholars and political commentators: “is this fascism?” Trump has ignited public interest in the decades-long and unresolved historical debate about the specific characteristics of fascism as […]
It’s interesting how the Left appears to be fragmenting into multiple camps concerning the question of who is most oppressed, who is the revolutionary actor, etc. The big debates seem to be between the “class reductionist,” “intersectionality,” and”anti-whiteness” camps, with the latter tendency defining racism as all “non-leftist” […]
As I have said before, political ideologies are the new religions and political interest groups and subcultures are the new ethno-cultural/linguistic tribes. By Devin Foley, Intellectual Takeout If you’ve ever spent any time in politics, especially during caucus or primary season, you will quickly learn that there are […]
Welcome to New World Next Week – the video series from Corbett Report and Media Monarchy that covers some of the most important developments in open source intelligence news. This week: Story #1: China’s Xi Warns Davos World Economic Forum Against ‘New Cold War’ https://archive.is/LLVXQ Russia to Extend […]
This is interesting. YouTuber, @Shoe0nHead, also known as June Lapine, discusses what it was like to film a video at the infamous Capitol riots and what she learned from Trump supporters.
If Trump manages to destroy the Republican Party he really will have performed a “service to his country.”
This is awesome. Fracture, fracture, fracture…A Congress fragmented into a 3-way fight between neoliberals, social democrats, and Taylor-Greene/Boebert wingnuts would be funny as hell. Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke about adding more security for elected officials and declared that the enemy is within the House of Representatives.
Saager speculates that Marjorie Taylor Greene represents the future of the Republican Party. That would be hilarious to have dozens of fruitbats like her in the Congress. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti react to Senate Democrats attempting to gather bipartisan support for censuring Donald Trump as a conviction […]
System hysteria-mongering aside, there is some truth to this in the sense that as the Red Tribe continues to sink, some of its sub-tribes will continue to become more radicalized and determined to go down fighting, embracing a wide range of “extremist” perspectives along the way.
By Andrew Korybko, One World The Biden Administration is following in the footsteps of the former Trump one by exercising hypocrisy towards unauthorized and violent protests. Both his and Trump’s condemned the violent storming of the US Capitol earlier this month, yet neither has any compunctions about endorsing […]
“The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.” -Lenin (attributed)
While I have always rejected, and continue to reject, the view that Trump was a “fascist” (as opposed to a low-rent Nixon), I do see certain potential dangers regarding right-wing authoritarianism. The cult-like sectors of the right-wing could potentially be marshaled in an authoritarian, statist direction by a […]
Once again, the media and academia are the new church that is aligned with the ruling class. By Matt Taibbi On January 6th, Jon Farina, photographer and videographer for Jordan Chariton’s Status Coup outlet, captured horrifying images. At the Capitol, a pro-Trump mob tried to burst into the […]
This is great stuff here. Dore takes down some Trotskyist moron from some creepy vanguard party. In the past year or so, I have noticed the emergence of folks in the left-anarchist milieu who are willing to embrace, or least entertain, a position not unlike the one that […]
#Democratsaretherealhomophobes? DC Bureau Chief of The Intercept, Ryan Grim, discusses a homophobic slur used in a Massachusetts Democratic Committee meeting.
As I have said before, where I dissent from modern libertarianism of the Randian variety is with my view that corporations and banks are merely modern feudal manors, and the media, universities, and now tech companies are the new church. It doesn’t do much good to claim to […]
Weinstein usually has a fairly interesting take on things even if he’s very middle of the road.
I don’t know enough about these boogaloo people to have a comprehensive assessment of them. What the guy Dore interviewed was saying was on the money, assuming he is stating his views honestly and is reasonably representative of his movement. The main criteria with which I evaluate all […]
These “boogaloo” guys sound a lot like what the militia movement of the 90s was like. The dude Dore interviewed was the mirror image of a group called the North American Liberation Army that I encountered in the 90s. In fact, a lot of the ideas associated with […]
This keeps getting better. Apparently, Dore has the Twitterati outraged. I know very little about this “boogaloo” movement. But assuming this guy that Dore interviewed is at all serious or representative of their movement, I’d say he’s more or less right on the money. He talks about the […]
It used to be the norm to place the label of “communist” on everyone with dissenting political views, but that appears to have gone out of fashion, probably because it just doesn’t have the power anymore now that the USSR has been gone for 30 years. Also, the […]
This is hilarious. Weenie social democrats at TYT saying, “Hey, we don’t want to overthrow the government or anything!” “But muh government!”
Jimmy Dore has been getting a lot of shit from the usual suspects over this. This is Fred Hampton-level stuff here.
It is in part for reasons like this that I have always considered myself to be a traditional anarchist rather than a modern libertarian. Libertarians tend to be overly focused on the formal political government in the same way that Marxists are overly focused on the capitalists. I […]
Well, that didn’t take long. The ruling class has started purging the useful idiots who are no longer useful. By Lia Eustachewichm New York Post Twitter has suspended several popular accounts with alleged ties to Antifa — which have more than 71,000 followers combined — following the Inauguration […]
This is hilarious. Hollywood D-lister and MSNBC throwaway Sam Seder and trust fund commie girl Emma Vigeland are getting worked up because Jimmy Dore said a few good words about a speech from some guy from the Boogaloo Boys.
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley January 6th was a day that will live on in infamy, or at least so I’m told. Maybe I’ve just become too jaded in my young age, but three weeks later and I still don’t see it. The […]
By Tom Dreisbach and Meg Anderson, National Public Radio As a violent mob descended on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, lawmakers and aides hid wherever they could, waiting for the military and police to arrive. But many of those who stormed the Capitol were military veterans themselves, […]
By Sean Gabb Though America is not my country, I have the right to some standing where American politics are concerned. Britain is a satellite state of America, and whoever rules in Washington has much power in London. A further consideration is that what may loosely be called […]
The media, universities, and tech companies are the new church, in the sense of being the institutions that determine, disseminate, and enforce the ideological superstructure of the ruling class and the dominant value paradigm of the wider society. The present “totalitarian humanist” paradigm regards as heresy, apostasy, blasphemy, […]
Arguably, the best discussion of the “cancel culture” element of totalitarian humanism I’ve seen to date. Hats off to these commies. Today we’re joined by Ben Burgis, Jacobin columnist and author of “Canceling Comedians While the World Burns: A Critique of the Contemporary Left, to talk about how […]
By Eugene Volokh, From his appearance on MSNBC yesterday (I quote from the transcript): We are now looking forward that the members of the Biden team who have been nominated or have been appointed, are now moving in laser like fashion to try to uncover as much as they can […]
“No bread for the peasants,” says Creepy Joe. Saagar Enjeti breaks down Biden’s early days in office and explains what he’s doing wrong and how he can change it.
The Republicans are in the precarious position of having to choose between their corporate donors and still-loyal Trumpists, which is about 40% of their base.
Now the Red Tribe can form a “Resistance” of their own, I guess. Team Rising discusses a heated focus group conducted by Republican pollster, Frank Luntz.
Do it. Hopefully, Bret Weinstein’s Unity movement will eventually get off the ground as well. The more parties the better, and at every level. What we need is a Holy Roman Empire type of situation where there are so many factions they all end up constraining each other. […]
Bring it on. And let’s get the proposed “Peoples’ Party” from the left going as well. Fracture, fracture, fracture… By Matt Welch, Reason “Goodbye. We love you. We will be back in some form,” Donald Trump said at the end of his final speech as president of the […]
There is an interesting new piece from the leftist “antifascist” writer Matthew Lyons. He could be considered a “Blue Tribe fundamentalist” (similar to Chomsky and Carson, but not as sleazy as Reid-Ross or crazy as Gillis) so his work is often ideologically tunnel-visioned but he has an encyclopedic […]
