The Know-Nothings Are Alive and Well
No matter how stupid the Left gets, the Right usually never fails to one-up them. The Know-Nothings are alive and well.
Feds, right-wing media paint Portland as ‘city under siege.’ A tour of town shows otherwise
Oregon Live By Eder Campuzano | The Oregonian/OregonLive As Cory Alexander and her daughter Nevaeh Belka stroll through downtown Portland, a mural catches the 9-year-old’s eye. The wall of black plywood surrounding the Pioneer Place Apple Store is a memorial to Black Americans killed by police. George Floyd. […]
Bret Weinstein and Matt Taibbi: Corruption and its Consequences
Matt Taibbi is an old school journalist beating all the odds in the modern era. He has long been a correspondent for Rolling Stone magazine. Bret and Matt discuss the state of the world in the run-up to the 2020 election. Taibbi endorses Unity 2020.
Yes, The Lincoln Project Is Embarrassing, Should We Care?
The Lincoln Project is merely a means through which the neocons and their closest allies, warmed-over Bush Republicans, are colonizing the Democratic Party, the same way a commie cult might try to colonize an antiwar or environmental group. A Biden administration will be a ruling class unity regime […]
Cancel Culture: “The New Far Left Fascism”
By Wesley The Point News Prior to 2020 cancel culture was arguably apolitical, but as we near the impending re-election of Donald Trump, cancel culture has become weaponised by his largely left-wing enemies on social media platforms but when it became apparent that Trump was on uncancellable cancel […]
What if Civil War broke out between Republicans and Democrats?
What if the virus breaks the United States apart?
Dividing the United States Into Independent Nations
Disunited States of America (Every State is a Country)
6 Native leaders on what it would look like if the US kept its promises
By Rory Taylor Vox The US has signed hundreds of treaties with Indigenous peoples. Here’s what would happen if the government actually honored them. “‘We the people’ has never meant ‘all the people.’” These were words of independent presidential candidate and Navajo Nation member Mark Charles as he […]
American breakup: Secession is much closer than we think
By F.H. Buckley Spectator The United States is ripe for secession. Across the world, established states have divided in two or are staring down secession movements. Great Britain became a wee bit less great with Irish independence, and now the Scots seem to be rethinking the Act of […]
If the USA were to balkanize, what independent countries do you think would emerge, what would they look like, and which would be most successful?
Reddit There are large economic, political, and cultural divides in the US (at least more so than other countries). Some states actually have economies that are competitive at a global scale (i.e. California, Texas).
An American split
By John Kaluza In response to Mr. Staveley’s commentary, I am closing in on 70 years old and I can honestly say, like you do, that the thinking of many people in this country is incomprehensible to me. I just don’t understand how so many Americans can support […]
Breakup of the USA
CT2 In the world of scenario planning, the fact that something is unthinkable should not prevent us from considering it. The breakup of the Soviet Union was unthinkable almost until the day it happened. At the same time, of course, not every impossible thing will happen. Among the […]
This map shows the US really has 11 separate ‘nations’ with entirely different cultures

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 […]
Anarchism and Dealing With Leftism
A simple but direct video that deals with a basic problem. The speaker describes how anarchists need to establish an independent position that is separate from the Left, Right, and Third Position. I’ve tried working with all three over the past three decades, and all three are generally […]
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 […]
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 […]
Interview: Aleksey Bashtavenko on Russia
Todd Lewis is joined by Keith Preston to interview Aleksey Bashtavenko, a Russian expatriate about his thoughts on Russia and global politics. A great critique of American culture and politics is contained in this, along with an examination of the retrograde character of Bolshevism and a debunking of […]
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.
What Would A Compassionate State Look Like?
This is one of those “don’t know whether to laugh or cry” headlines. As is often the case with the Marxists and others from the “far-left”, I agree with many of their criticisms of the system as it stands, while thinking their “solutions” are ridiculous. These guys actually […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Breakdown of the Dissident Right
Todd Lewis is joined by Right Ruminations, Keith Preston, and Swithun Dobson to discuss the decline of the alt-right.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Cancel Culture WARS hit journalist, include racist attacks against POC on free speech
The part about “anti-racist racism” (around 3:45) is interesting.
Destiny & Vaush vs Eric Striker & James Allsup on Systemic Racism
A WWE matchup. I suppose it has never occurred to any of these guys that systemic racism can exist within the context of a totalitarian humanist regime, just as class oppression can exist in a Communist regime, or that ethnic Germans were oppressed by the Third Reich.
Are There Culturally Conservative Socialists?
Uh, see the history of the 20th century. I once had a student who had grown up in Nicolae Ceausescu’s Romania. I asked her what the Communists of her adolescence would have made of the Antifa or intersectional left. She very casually and seriously replied that the former […]
Has Cancel Culture Gone TOO FAR? Open Letter Signed by Chomsky, JK Rowling Goes Viral
A quasi-SJW makes his case. The main problem that I have with his arguments is that he seems to imply that all non-leftist thought is by definition illegitimate and/or the equivalent of fascism. Although I agree with his point that right-wingers are often only in favor of free […]
Memories from Nemesis: Tale of a Peruvian Maoist
A somewhat interesting review of Abimael Guzman’s autobiography. For quite some time, I have held the view that the Shining Path developed what is arguable the most advanced critique of imperialism on the Marxist “far-left,” although it’s not substantially different from what anarchist anti-imperialists were saying in the […]
DSA Cancels Adolph Reed
LOL. An African-American Marxist is attacked by totalitarian humanist DSA as a “class reductionist.”
My Immediate Fear with Donald Trump vs. Joe Biden
The worst thing about the upcoming election is that someone is going to win.
Sam Harris’s Take on Systemic Racism is Dangerously Misinformed
A pretty good overview of the sociological relationship between race, class, and crime.
How to Pull Someone Out of the Alt-Right (The Question I’m Always Asked)
This reminds of a lot of pamphlets I used to see circulating in the 70s and 80s: “How to Keep Your Kids Off Drugs,” “How to Know if Your Kid is Dabbling in the Occult,” “How to Witness to Your Neighbor Who Doesn’t Know Jesus,” “Communism’s Plan for […]
Remember the Red Guards Before You Cheer the Woke Mobs
By Peter Van Burn The American Conservative I’m ambivalent about statues and J.K. Rowling being torn down, but terrified of the thought process behind the destruction. Decisions should never be made by mobs. Is America on the edge of a cultural revolution? The historical namesake and obvious parallel […]
Ross Douthat & The Woke Corporate Consensus
Some actual commies discuss how the capitalist class is co-opting the protest movement.
