by Salofaista and Zoltanous Introduction Fringe movements, whether in politics or religion, tend to attract fringe individuals.

Peter R. Quiñones I’m sitting here thinking about Election Days past when I considered myself a “good libertarian.” For many libertarian/anarchist/agorists Election Day is a holiday on which they virtue signal via social media about how intelligent they are (sanctimonious is a better term). “Why would anyone be […]

Young women are more likely to identify as liberal now than at any time in the past two decades, a trend that puts them squarely at odds with young men.
One of the most controversial pieces I ever wrote was an essay from 2005 called “Why I Choose to Collaborate with Racialists and Theocrats.” You can imagine the reaction to that in some anarchist circles, particularly the hard-left ones. A reader recently offered a response to that essay, […]
When a Communist Attends a Trump Rally… The hashtag #MAGACommunism trended for nearly the entire month of September on twitter. The responses were… Amusing to say the least. Both leftists and some elements of the far-right swore up and down that the notion was patently absurd, terminally online […]

This is hilarious.
