White House asked why Biden waited for Colorado supermarket shooting to make gun violence statement
The way I think the gun control issue will play out is like this. The more liberal areas of the US, like large cities and blue states, will continue to impose stricter gun laws over time. The federal government will tighten the laws as well. However, the deep […]
Chapo Trap House – New American Civil War
A civil war in the US wouldn’t be regional in the way depicted in that image. It would be more like Lebanon in the 70s and 80s and Syria today. Street by street, block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood, family by family, etc.

Rioters Set Fire to Federal Courthouse in Portland One Day after Fencing Removed
A job well done. It seems the prevailing trend is that leftists attack state outposts at the local level, while rightists attack the state directly in the capitol. Fair enough. Unfortunately, too many “conservatives” and even some “libertarians” are taking a position that defends state institutions when they […]

Is It Time for an Anarchist Army?

Why the Right Should Never Fight or Hurt Cops
Some paleo-pig-love from Bill Lind. Actually, the question of how much to love/hate the cops, how much violence to use, how much to reject the conventional political system, etc. is going to be a big source of division on the Right in the future. By William S. Lind, […]
A majority of the people arrested for Capitol riot had a history of financial trouble
Over ten years ago, I predicted the sinking middle class would be part of the basis of future insurgent movements. I generally got the socioeconomic and demographic factors right, although the political realignment along system/anti-system lines I was hoping for never happened. Instead, the Red and Blue Tribes […]

How (Not) To Stop Right-Wing Extremists
Trump unleashed his mob onto Congress on January 6, and the fallout continues. The biggest question on many minds is how to root out the hundreds of far-right, anti-government groups who saw the Trump presidency as their coming-out party. Some are floating the idea of using the so-called […]
The Trauma of Her Moral Highness, AOC

After 20 Years: A Lot Has Happened Since 2001

CNN Claims ‘American Al Qaeda’ Is Infiltrating Our Farmlands
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.
The Complicated Truth About the Boogaloo Movement

The Boogaloo Bois Prepare for Civil War
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 […]

The Micro-Tribes of the Red Macro-Tribe
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 […]
‘Opposite of unity’: Democrats’ identity politics pushes US towards conflict akin to Lebanese civil war, professor warns
I’m glad to see I am not the only one who recognizes this. A Lebanese professor of evolutionary psychology who lived through the civil war points out the parallels.

Does It Matter Who Attacks the System As Long as the System Gets Attacked?
A left-wing anarchist has offered the following reply to right-libertarian/an-cap sympathizers with the Beer Belly Putsch.

Why We Need Real Anarchy: Don’t Let Trump’s Minions Gentrify Revolt
Crimethinc Politicians have come together across the aisle to decry the storming of the Capitol on January 6 as “lawless,” “anti-democratic,” and “extremist,” going so far as to misrepresent the result as “anarchy.” But the problem with the invasion of the Capitol was not that it was unlawful, […]

Federal prosecutors building SEDITION, conspiracy charges against some Capitol rioters
Civil War Two But Modeled After Who?
It’s possible to draw analogies to the Spanish Civil War anytime there is a major left/right cleavage. But in our case, I think the civil war in El Salvador is a better political analogy in terms of parties, factions, and their relationships, and I think the Lebanese Civil […]
Civil war becomes inevitable in the USA
