By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley It always ends this way, you can almost set your watch to it. A glamorous soirée rambling into the wee hours of the morning in an opulent townhouse on a tony tree lined street of any given international […]
The main critique I would have of the liberal/left/BLM approach is not that their perspective is “too radical” but that it is not radical enough. Much of this kind of activism is focused solely on police killings and the racial disparities involved. Fair enough. Murder by cop is […]
“What’s the world coming to when we can’t just beat up some random old man and crack his skull? Blue Lives Matter!!” This really is an “A Clockwork Orange” scenario here. By Rachel Sharp Daily Mail Two Buffalo cops have been arrested and charged with second degree assault […]
Kyle Kulinski has an interesting rebuttal to Carlson’s Hobbesian-Burkean perspective. In his more serious and intelligent moments, Carlson is simply making the Hobbesian argument that order must be maintained at all costs in order for civilization to exist with considerations of “justice,” whatever their merit, being a secondary […]
The discussion between Saager and Max Alvarez on the relationship between class and the uprising is interesting, along with their discussion of ruling class co-optation efforts. I have long argued that the modern left’s primary emphasis on race, gender, gay, etc. identity politics outside the context of any […]
This article is a year old, but it’s relevant to current events. Here we have not only the ruling class but the banskters no less trying to coopt opposition movements and use “wokeness” as a marketing gimmick. Private prisons are constantly blamed by liberal and left opinion for […]
By all accounts, these guys are scumbags. But they’re just the attack dogs. Where are the mugshots of the masters who let them off their least? The Minnesota attorney general on Wednesday upgraded charges against the ex-Minneapolis police officer who knelt on George Floyd’s neck and issued arrest […]
Are “lawmakers” getting the message? By Catie Edmundson New York Times WASHINGTON — Republicans and Democrats in Congress have begun a new push to shut down a Pentagon program that transfers military weaponry to local law enforcement departments, as bipartisan urgency builds to address the excessive use of […]
The difference is that not only are blacks more likely to have negative experiences with the police relative to population size, but blacks are accustomed to having an “outsider” status. When a cop harms a black person, many other blacks take it personally and see it as an […]
Conservatives/Republicans like Tucker Carlson are often very good at lampooning the silliness and excess that is found among liberal and left opinion, which is easy to do because there is certainly a lot of it. However, having watched and read these kinds of commentators (the Rush Limbaugh types, […]
By Tucker Higgins CNBC Three former Minneapolis police officers will be criminally charged Wednesday in connection with the death of George Floyd, Sen. Amy Klobuchar wrote in a post on Twitter. In addition, Derek Chauvin, a former officer who had already been charged with third-degree murder in the […]
Donald Milhous Trump. I’ve always thought Trump resembled nothing quite so much as the Nixon, Nelson Rockefeller, Spiro Agnew, etc. Republicans from the 70s. He’s not the supply-side dogmatist that emerged during the 80s, and his foreign policy approach is more in the vein of Kissinger’s Machiavellian realism […]
As I said in the previous post, current events are no skin off the ass of the ruling class whatsoever. If the stock market is soaring, they’re happy. My guess is that the power elite probably sees the insurrection as an exaggerated sports riot, as opposed to a […]
From a purely factual perspective, Trump is correct that what is going on now is a class-based insurrection, and not merely a protest movement, a series of riots, or a crime wave. From a purely legal perspective, the 1807 Insurrection Act does indeed give the President the authority […]
I wonder if this article was written before or after the results of the independent autopsy came out, and essentially revealed that the initial autopsy was part of the coverup. I also wonder if this guy ever thought he would become the most hated man in the world […]
This was recording before the results of the independent autopsy were revealed. Also, at the time I mistakenly thought George Floyd had been accused of forging a check as opposed to passing a $20. The Mindcrime Liberty Show is joined by Keith Preston to discuss the details around […]
By Sean Collins Vox The protests that have risen up in many cities in the United States over the past week were sparked by the killing of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, by now-fired police officers in Minneapolis. Even though one former officer, Derek Chauvin, has been […]
By Hollie Silverman CNN (CNN)Americans have been protesting the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police for days on end in dozens of cities throughout the United States. While tensions between police and demonstrators have heated up in many places, some officers have shown […]
Francis Pakes The Conversation Iceland is a small country tucked away on the edge of Europe. It has a population of only about 340,000 people. Iceland’s prisons are small too. There are only five, altogether housing fewer than 200 prisoners. Of these five, two are open prisons. I […]
Kim predictably nails. What we are experiencing right now is a class-based insurrection against an authoritarian state. The ruling class media (the new clerisy) is trying to deflect attention from that by fueling political/racial/cultural divisions.
Giving cops “qualified immunity” is like giving physicians exemptions from malpractice lawsuits. By C.J. Ciaramella Reason The killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer on Monday has reignited calls for national reforms to policing, including ending qualified immunity, a legal doctrine that civil liberties groups say has […]
I don’t think they liked that one of their cop shops was burned to the ground. Slate The ongoing protests following the killing of George Floyd were caught up in violence again on Saturday, as police all over the country teargassed protestors, drove vehicles through crowds, opened fire […]
By Patrick Jaicomo and Anya Bidwell USA Today On Monday, May 25, Minneapolis police killed George Floyd. While two officers pinned the handcuffed Floyd on a city street, another fended off would-be intervenors, as a fourth knelt on Floyd’s neck until — and well after — he lost […]
Vince has the perfect comeback to the “he shouldn’t have broken the law” dumbasses. “Why the protesting and rioting? Because until now the police have held a special position in our society as a protected class. They could lie, cheat, steal, break the law and murder civilians and […]
Krystal Ball blasts Amy Klobuchar for her failure to prosecute two of the officers involved in the killing of George Floyd, who were reviewed for use of force during her tenure as County Attorney.
A German teenager runs afoul of the new blasphemy laws. I consider the tribal civil war between the Red Tribe and Blue Tribe to a low-intensity variation of the traditional Catholic/Protestant conflicts in Europe during the early modern period or the Sunni/Shia conflict in the Middle East today.

Direct action and propaganda by the deed. To regurgitate a slogan from the Obama era, “Yes, we can.” By TIM SULLIVAN and AMY FORLITI, Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — Cheering protesters broke into a Minneapolis police precinct station on Thursday after the department abandoned it, setting it ablaze and […]
Former National Co-chair for the Sanders Campaign Nina Turner weighs in on the Minneapolis protests, Central Park ‘Karen’ Amy Cooper, and Biden’s “you ain’t black” comments.
The news coverage in this is pretty good, but the commentary from Krystal and Saager, while no doubt sincere and well-intentioned, is still the usual statist-reformist bullshit. I’m definitely one of those “far-left” people Saager is referring to who “don’t believe in criminal justice.” Although you could be […]
Krystal and Saagar discuss the firing of Central Park ‘Karen’ and released video that shows a Minneapolis cop with his knee on the neck of a motionless, moaning, black man who later died.
A heroine for our time. By Jeff Maysh BBC News Sandeep Kaur pulled on a wig and adjusted her designer sunglasses in her rear-view mirror. June 6, 2014 was a typically sunny afternoon in California’s Santa Clarita Valley and a quiet one, except for the screams of passengers […]
An interesting article about the death penalty in Texas. By Pamela Colloff Texas Monthly Part I. Ms. Lyons, Hi, if you are reading this then they killed me. I wanted to tell you that I enjoyed talking to you, you seem like a really great lady. I’m sorry […]
Believe it or not, there are “right-wing libertarians” (including folks who ought to know better) who think Singapore, an actual fascist state, is a praiseworthy libertarian society because “muh low taxes, man!” Singapore jails political dissidents and executes petty drug offenders. Interestingly, Singapore is a multicultural society with […]
Regrettably, a lot of our “progressives,” “civil libertarians,” and even “anarchists” will probably go along with this because he was such a fascist baddie n’all. By Lizzie Deardon The Independent The leader of far-right organisation Britain First has been convicted of a terror offence. Paul Golding refused to […]
BBC Court orders restricting the movements of suspected terrorists could be renewed indefinitely under new legislation unveiled by the government. The bill would lower the standard of proof to impose the orders, known as TPims, and remove the current two-year limit that applies to them. Suspects would also […]
By Sarah Stillman The New Yorker On March 14th, Roslyn Crouch, a mother of twelve, left her house in New Orleans to stock up on toilet paper and canned goods, and didn’t return. Crouch, who is forty-two, with slender braids down to her knees, had been feeling anxious […]
As usual, the Right is better at criticizing the government and the media (see the Tucker Carlson video I just posted) while the Left (like these Jacobin boys) are better are criticizing the corporations/capitalist class. Fortunately, it’s not a question of either/or. We should be attacking ridiculous government […]
By William S. Smith The American Conservative Fittingly, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was founded by a grandnephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte, during the Progressive Era. Bonaparte was a Harvard-educated crusader. As the FBI’s official history states, “Many progressives, including (Teddy) Roosevelt, believed […]
By Aris Roussinos What does Michael Gove have in common with Ukraine’s Azov movement? Not much, one would think. There is surely very little commonality between the published work of the liberal Conservative statesman and the ideology of the armed group, far to the right of any Right-wing […]
Whether it’s a “mistake” or not is beside the point. We need reparations from the state now. Total moratorium on rent, mortgages, utility bills, credit cards, student loans, medical bills, and car payments. If you take away peoples’ livelihoods, then you owe them. Period. It’s no different than […]
Another Jeffrey Tucker article questioning the sanctity of lockdown orthodoxy. By Jeffrey Tucker The year was 1957.
It figures that Singapore would be in the vanguard of techno-therapeutic-fascism. It’s also interesting how so many American right-libertarians engage in such a pathetic veneration of Singapore (“‘They got low taxes, man!”) just as so many American leftists engage in an equally pathetic veneration of Cuba (“They got […]
“We don’t need no stinkin’ 13th Amendment!”
Carlson calls out the federal police state about 3 minutes into this. Ilhan Omar’s response is disappointing and regrettably rooted in partisan/cultural/tribal politics than actual opposition to the system. From Trump-loyaltist three percenters to Democrat-voting Marxists, it’s interesting how few supposed “radicals” actually oppose the system.
Marcus Arbery Sr. recalls the memory of his son on the day of his 26th birthday. Arbery Sr. called his son’s death a “modern-day lynching” following the arrest of two men charged with Ahmaud Arbery’s murder.
