Minneapolis declares racism a public health emergency
By Tal Axelrod The Hill The Minneapolis City Council approved a resolution Friday declaring racism a public emergency nearly two months after the high-profile killing of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody. The resolution says that “racism in all its forms causes persistent discrimination and disparate outcomes […]
Wall Streeters THROW Money At Biden, Ted Cruz Claims He Wants Working Class GOP?
This segment indirectly provides a reasonably accurate though very basic overview of how the different factions of the ruling class are aligned with the two parties. The tech industry, the media, and the managerial class side with the Democraps, and the fossil fuel, real estate, and other traditional […]
First Comes Police Reform. Then Comes Everything Else.
I am skeptical as to whether there will be meaningful “police reform” beyond a few token gestures and even that only in deep blue zones like New York, Portland, or Denver. The main reason why I am skeptical is that the urban professional-managerial class “liberals” and woke suburban […]
What do leftists really want America to be?
A couple of traditional conservatives provide a pretty good discussion of what the rising forces of totalitarian humanism actually are, i.e. opportunists that will make common cause with the Deep State, the capitalist class, and the military-industrial complex in order to obtain power while repressing, subordinating, or purging […]
What do the woke/SJW/PC radicals *really* want?
This is a pretty good overview of the totalitarian humanist ideology from a conservative perspective. Anti-authoritarian radicals of any kind (left, right, center, religious, anarchist or libertarian) need to be aware of this stuff. None of this has anything to do with one’s positions on topical issues […]
Mary Trump’s book breaks record with mammoth sales
Mary Trump: “My uncle is an asshole.” Most Other People: “So tell us something we don’t know.” By Oliver Darcy CNN New York (CNN)Mary Trump’s tell-all book had sold a staggering 950,000 copies by the end of its first day on sale, publisher Simon & Schuster said Thursday. […]
Bari Weiss Angrily Resigns From NYT, Says They “Lost Sight Of Their Principles”
Both Bari Weiss and her former colleagues at the New York Times all sound like a bunch of crybabies and are probably unfortunate products of helicopter parenting.
Unmasking America’s “Hidden Tribes”
Free Speech Warriors SILENT On Anti-BDS Laws
Krystal Ball weighs in on legislation recently passed in Missouri, Alabama, Nevada, and Minnesota that prevents states from contracting with companies that boycott Israel.
Trump, GOP, On Wrong Side Of EVERYTHING Since Coronavirus Began
The Republicans should reflect on the possibility that “Let the people eat cake until they die of coronavirus” is not a good campaign slogan.
Michael Brooks on Defending History
This is an interesting discussion of the Intellectual Dark Web from a Jacobin left perspective. The fundamental flaw in Michael Brooks’ thinking is his view that you can have a massive welfare and regulatory state without having a parallel military, police, and prison state. Of course, these kinds […]
I was a 60s socialist. Today’s progressives are in danger of repeating our mistakes.
By John B. Judis Washington Post In January 1969, Tom Hayden, a founder of the radical Students for a Democratic Society and a leader of the antiwar movement, came to speak at the University of California at Santa Cruz, on behalf of the SDS chapter where I was […]
Bret Weinstein’s DarkHorse Podcast – Black Intellectual Roundtable
This is a great discussion.
Bari Weiss RESIGNS From The New York Times, Is She A Hypocrite?
This segment indirectly raises the important point that some opponents of PC/wokeness/cancel culture, from both the right and sectors of the left, always make exceptions for their favorite issues or causes, whether it’s supporting Israel or opposing burning the flag.
“Vote Red, No Matter Who…”?
This is hilarious. Hannity tries to portray Biden as some kind of revolutionary Marxist as opposed to the moderate Republican he essentially is, just like liberal opinion portrays Trump as Mussolini as opposed to the Blue Dog Democrat he essentially is. What is most interesting is how so […]
Tucker: Biden & Dems Want To “Abolish The Suburbs”
Carlson seems to have abandoned whatever populism he ever had in favor of culture war hysteria since the uprising. Centrist Democrats ARE the suburbs, at least in the larger metro areas.
The Great Awokening of Leftoid-Whitey
These are interesting and somewhat bizarre results from a CNN poll that was taken five years ago. “The Great Awokening of 2006 (overly) simplified into one graph. Note the close (if not absolute) correlation with the economic crisis. Leftoid-Whitey becomes histrionic; most others don’t care.” -Bellamy Fitzpatrick […]
The West Has a Resentment Epidemic
On the urban vs. rural divided throughout the West. By Roberto Stefan Foa and Jonathan Wilmot Foreign Policy In 2014, the Hill newspaper rated Minnesota the second-most-liberal U.S. state. For decades, Minnesotans had reliably supported Democrats in the House, in the Senate, and for the presidency—in Ronald Reagan’s […]
Trump Tells Minnesota to Take Care Its Own Leftist Rioter Problem, Refuses to Send Money
Excellent. Conflicts between the states and the feds are always welcome.
Fmr Ghislaine Maxwell Assoc. Says She Has Sex Tapes Of Politicians With Minors
Homeowner who pulled gun on protesters: I was a victim of a mob
Chris Cuomo interviews the pink-shirted rifle guy. What is most interesting is to compare this interview with Cuomo with the Carlson interview and observe how Red Tribe and Blue Tribe really do live in two different realities and regard each other as existential enemies. An authentic anti-state, anti-ruling […]
Tucker Carlson Interviews Mark McCloskey
Carlson has another interview with the “Straight Outta Applebee’s” guy. If the revolutionary “far-left” was tactically shrewd, they would come out in opposition to any arrest or legal prosecution of this guy on “we’re against the pigs no matter who they come after” grounds, or “we’re for the […]
Protest in Pennsylvania after cop uses knee to restrain man
Some folks have to learn the hard way, I guess. Perhaps police departments should realize eliminating applicants for having too high an IQ wasn’t a good plan. By Michael Rubinkam Associated Press ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Activists against police brutality expressed outrage and demanded accountability Monday after video emerged […]
2 slain police officers ‘never had a chance’ in Texas shooting, chief says
It would be tactically advantageous for leaders and organizations within the protest movement to openly memorialize cops who experience “line of duty” deaths in situations like this. Whether such sentiments would be sincere or not is beside the point. Psywar is crucial in the advancement of fourth-generation warfare […]
Indiana woman shot dead after saying ‘all lives matter’: family
When things like this happen, opinion leaders among BLM need to immediately denounce such incidents and characterize responsible parties as rogue elements that are unrepresentative of the movement. At least that would be the smart way to do it. Incidents like this will escalate fourth-generation warfare among tribes. […]
Federal Officers Shoot Portland Protester In Head With ‘Less Lethal’ Munitions
Smart tacticians from the Left could exploit this issue to fuel hostility to the feds among liberal and left opinion, and in a way that also wins sympathy from the anti-establishment Right who see the feds as the folks who are going to take their guns and massacre […]
Will the Right-Wing Launch a Counter-Offensive?
This article, by no less than leading fourth-generation warfare theorist and paleoconservative strategist Bill Lind, is a perfect example of why I have been telling the Left that making every problem into a cultural/racial/tribal civil war is a remarkably bad idea. Some people on the cultural right are […]
Zaid Jilani FORCEFULLY Rebuts Counter-Cancel Culture Speech Letter
Journalist Zaid Jilani gives his take on the growing backlash over a letter defending free speech. Published in Harper’s Magazine, the document was signed by more than 150 writers, journalists, academics and artists.
Fox News CALLS OUT Betsy Devos Attack On School Funding
The right-wing of the ruling class is fracturing. The neoliberal/neocon right clearly wants to purge the Trumpist insurgency within their own class.
Antifa Punks and Boogaloo Bois: A Tale of Two Scapegoats
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley It was the kind of story that always seems to fly just beneath the radar. You probably missed it. I nearly did. Somewhere between the Pride parades and the Fourth of July, while the country was busy hyperventilating […]
As Mayor of Minneapolis, I Saw How White Liberals Block Change
During the 1990s and 2000s, I was involved in local activism at the municipal level around a range of issues, mostly pertaining to housing, zoning, business development and licensing, policing, etc. What I found is that bourgie, professional class, predominantly white liberals (plus some affluent minorities) essentially wanted […]
The Boogaloo Tipping Point
The Atlantic is a new clerisy publication so any of its coverage of the “far-right” (or “extremists” generally) has to be taken with a grain of salt. But what seems to be the most interesting about the “boogaloo” movement is its diversity, which apparently includes libertarians, Communists, white […]
Once Again, It’s Not a Matter of Either/Or
Every single idea listed below is a good one. Enemies of the state should be doing outreach to EVERYONE, no matter how seemingly incorrigible from an anti-authoritarian perspective. Most people are a mixture of authoritarian and anti-authoritarian ideas, including some who are extreme paradoxes. “Go ye into all […]
It’s Not a Question of Either/Or
It’s possible to answer “yes” to every question listed below while still recognizing the dangers of censorship imposed by governments, oligarchical corporations, media organizations that comprise the new clerisy, totalitarian left-wing (or right-wing) ideologies, or mob violence. From a social media post:
How I Became a Police Abolitionist
By Derecka Purnell The Atlantic We called 911 for almost everything except snitching. Nosebleeds, gunshot wounds, asthma attacks, allergic reactions. Police accompanied the paramedics. Our neighborhood made us sick. A Praxair industrial gas-storage facility was at one end of my block. A junkyard with exposed military airplane and […]
In Wars, There Are Casualties
I would suggest that a true “Blue Lives Matter” approach would be the same as a true “Support the Troops” approach. “Support the Troops…Bring Them Home.” “Blue Lives Matter…Call Them Off.”
Biden forges brand of liberal populism to use against Trump
The strategy of the dominant factions of the power elite for dealing with the present crises is overwhelmingly clear. They are trying to advance a faux “liberal populism” that they hope will attract not only the “vote blue no matter who” crowd, but enough of the “exhausted majority” […]
Rift grows between Trump, health experts amid coronavirus surge
Who cares? Trump is obviously a narcissistic lunatic, but so-called “health experts” (white coat priesthood) have shown themselves to be a partisan/ideologically-driven liars as well: “Don’t wear masks but wear masks and don’t go to funerals but go to protests.” ABC News As President Donald Trump threatens to cut funding to […]
Pence says decision on removing Confederate statues should be made locally
It’s a rare occasion when I agree with Mike Pence, but sometimes it snows in April. By Tal Axelrod The Hill Vice President Pence said the decision to remove Confederate statues should be made at the local level, and panned protesters who have dismantled the monuments themselves. In […]
Authorities execute search warrant on St. Louis couple who pointed guns at protesters
This case is going to be a major culture war focus. Anyone who wants to know what’s going on politically right now needs to read Carl Schmitt’s “The Concept of the Political” and “The Crisis of Parliamentary Democracy,” which were written in the 1920s as the Weimar Republic […]
It’s Not Just Face Masks. Everything Is Now a Political Death Match.
I don’t really agree with Tuccille’s claim that “Libertarians and others who haven’t turned life into a political package deal may need to serve as translators and peacemakers for countrymen who have lost the ability to talk to one another.” As a platonic ideal that may be true, […]
‘Republicans are really fed up’: GOP increasingly splits with Trump as his polls drag
The best hope for the future of freedom worldwide is the fracturing of the global capitalist empire in which the USA ruling class is a senior into a smorgasbord of regional powers and micronations. The best hope for the future of freedom in the USA is for the […]
Year Zero
This article needs to be spread far and wide. Although I would distinguish between the actual lumpenproletarian and mostly non-ideological insurgents and the middle-class Maoist cosplayers. By Matt Taibbi It’s the Fourth of July, and revolution is in the air. Only in America would it look like this: […]
Broken Windows, Falling Empires: A Discussion with Kristian Williams
Only on Attack the System will you find articles from Chronicles and It’s Going Down side-by-side.
Red Tribe: Useful Idiots for the Right-Wing of the Ruling Class
The Red Tribe will never be able to put up effective resistance to the state because it is so inculcated with attitudes like this. The dwindling of the Red Tribe combined with the fracturing of the Blue Tribe is probably the best hope for the rest of us.
The Reaction to the Harper’s Letter on Cancel Culture Proves Why It Was Necessary
By Jesse Singal Reason I’m not usually a fan of the saying “a hit dog will holler,” which basically boils down to “if someone responds angrily to an accusation, they are probably guilty.” Sometimes, when someone is unfairly attacked or wrongly accused, they respond to it with vitriol […]
Anti-Cancel Culture Letter Signed By Chomsky Sparks Backlash
This is a pretty good discussion of this issue from Kyle. I agree with much of what he says, although I wish he would have given more recognition to the centuries-long history of censorship and state repression by leftist regimes. Usually, the response I get from leftists when […]
What Happened In Bethel, Ohio?
When BLM came to Mayberry. By Anne Helen Petersen Buzzfeed Lois Dennis started teaching second grade in the village of Bethel, Ohio — official population just under 2,800 — back in 1976. People in town call her Mrs. Dennis. And that’s the name people used online when they […]
Cancel Culture WARS hit journalist, include racist attacks against POC on free speech
The part about “anti-racist racism” (around 3:45) is interesting.
