As I said in another post on here yesterday, I generally hold to the view that the central thrust of PC/SJWism/Wokeness/whatever is largely just the latest rendition of bourgeois morality, filtered through the lens of sectarian WASPish Protestant pietism in its “progressive Christian” and “social gospel” forms. It […]

By Casey Chalk, The American Conservative As a U.S. Army medic in the early 1970s, my father worked with wounded veterans who were suffering from what we would now call Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. At the time, so my dad told me, many of these PTSD victims were heavily […]
By Andrew Korybko, One World Prelude Since 2015, Western society and culture have been going downhill more and more. While it was difficult enough in 2008 after the banking crisis, the refugee crisis in 2015 gave the death blow to Western democracies and culture. The C-virus was the […]
All of this is unfolding about like I thought it would. The Bidenist ruling class unity regime (the new popular front) is purging the military of conservatives, possibility using the criminal law to eliminate the Trumpists, using the “war on terrorism” to eliminate the far right, purging the […]

My guess is that this story is probably (mostly) true, but selectively chosen. Both the left and right like to pick out the worst examples from “the other side” they can find and hold those up as representative of their opponents generally. By Tyler Durden, Zero Hedge In […]
For the most part, universities have more in common with Wal-Mart than with North Korea, in the sense of having making money as their first priority.

Tom Cotton is a total douchebag and one of the right-wing’s most dangerous figures (as a bridge between the neocons, Likudniks, Saudis, MIC, supply-siders, Reaganites, Trumpists, evangelicals, and nativists). He is also smarter, shrewder, and more calculating than similar figures like Cruz, Rubio, and Hawley. But he is […]

I advise the paleo-populists to jettison the capitalist class and conservative “big media.” By Keith Preston, Chronicles Broad swaths of conservative opinion today would have it that the enemy of the right is some variant of Marxism. But this does not accurately describe people like Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, […]
