Once again, if Trump manages to take down MSNBC, CNN, FOX, the GOP, the neocons, and the Christian Zionists down in flames with him, he really will have accomplished something. Team Rising discusses concerns at CNN and MSNBC about the future of their networks in a post-Trump news […]
Imagine that. Although I agree with him on the issue of not abusing executive orders. Krystal Ball digs into audio recordings of a meeting between Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and civil rights leaders.
Hopefully, very doomed, and with Trump using OANN, Newsmax or his own network to undermine FOX, Krystal Ball discusses calls for the media to stop covering Donald Trump once Joe Biden is sworn in as President of the United States.
Surrounded on all sides.
If neoliberal corporatism is the new feudalism, then the prison-industrial complex is the new slavery.
By Joe Marino and Laura Italiano, New York Post A Staten Island bar that has declared itself a COVID-19 restriction “autonomous zone” was back open for two hours on Friday night, in continued defiance of its suspended liquor license and despite one of its owners’ arrest just three […]
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard speaks out in support of the MORE Act.
It looks like The Intercept is already running interference for the Bidenists. Greenwald got out just in time. I generally like Ryan Grim but this is hopefully naive. Yes, OF COURSE, the US will be moving incrementally toward more European-like social democratic policies on domestic policy over time, […]
The Demcratic mafia + token diversity. Director of Research at the American Economic Liberties Project, Matt Stoller, reacts to Joe Biden’s picks for his economic team.
In a recent interview with Mumia Abu Jamal discussed the link between the CIA and leftist philanthropists. The relevant comments are about 2 minutes, 12 seconds in. Listen here.
Not that I would want to be a part of it.
Not quite.
An excellent extended interview with Patrick Wood recorded a few days ago with James Delingpole (UK), clearly defining Technocracy, the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset” and the future of Scientific Dictatorship.
One of the assholes behind the original Persian Gulf War in 1991. New York Time’s Chief White House Correspondent, Peter Baker, discusses his new book “The Man Who Ran Washington: The Life and Times of James A. Baker III.”
A ruling class unity regime. It will be nice if the progressives actually take all of their “Hold Biden accountable!” hoopla seriously and serve as a constant thorn in the side of the administration. The Intercept’s Ryan Grim discusses Biden cabinet picks who are mostly Washington insiders.
A split between FOX, the Republican Party, and the Trumpists would be a fantastic ruling class fracturing. Let’s hope it happens. If a Trumpist network could break FOX it would be a major blow to the neocons. Fox News personality Laura Ingraham breaks the tough news to her […]
Hello, my name is Hallel Rabin. I’m an 18 year old refuser from an Israeli kibbutz and tomorrow I’ll be sent to prison by the Israeli military. Just before Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, I refused to join the Israeli army and was held in military prison […]
By Niara Savage, CNN A Black activist has gained attention from political leaders on social media after a video of her pushing back against a CNN commentator’s claim that things will return to “normal” since President-Elect Joe Biden won the election went viral on Twitter. Sydney Teese, a […]
BBC Hundreds of anti-government protesters in Guatemala have vandalised and set fire to parts of the Congress building, before being dispersed by riot police. The building in Guatemala City was empty at the time of Saturday’s attack, which lasted for about 10 minutes. The fire services put the […]
Trump is trying to create his own “November criminals/stab in the back” legend in order to promote his new network and maybe even make a comeback in 2020.
Good. It seems like an “alternative conservative social media” is forming with Parler, Gab, Substance, MeWe, etc, and “alternative dissident left media” is developing among left-leaning journalists that have had falling outs with the Left Inquisition. Journalist, Zaid Jilani, gives his thoughts on Ezra Klein and Matthew Yglesias’ […]
Actually, the polio vaccine was developed by a non-profit foundation with funds provided by the March of Dimes. Whether that’s good or bad may be a value judgment, but it’s a blow against the “government is necessary” argument. Krystal and Saager are great journalists but their political ideal […]
I’ve noticed that a lot of libertarian-minded people, while well-intentioned, have a misunderstanding of how political and social change, at least the kind that moves in a more libertarian direction, actually works. Obviously, there is never going to be a Libertarian government elected to office that immediately says, […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Well, winter is coming with a vengeance and I’m guessing that you’re feeling pretty bummed. I’ve noticed the dayglo orange has drained from your cheeks and your once histrionic tirades have taken on all the petty melodrama of […]
Those of us with libertarian-inclined political leanings were the real winners in the 2020 election. The “war on drugs,” along with general overcriminalization is probably the most extreme form of statism that exists in the modern United States, at least on a large scale. By Kyle Jaeger The […]
Obama: “As a college student, I was a shallow loser.” In many ways, Obama personifies the values of woke capitalism in the sense of espousing a duplicitous cultural leftism on the surface level while fully embracing the values of the corporate class and serving as a functionary for […]
By David Bates To what extent is it possible to situate Hardt and Negri’s thought? Are they best regarded as ‘anarchists’, ‘socialists’, ‘communists’, ‘marxists’, ‘leninists’, ‘postmarxists’ or ‘postanarchists’? Answering this question is no mere intellectual exercise. As Wittgenstein once remarked, ‘words are deeds’. On the radical left, much […]
This is a pretty good analysis/overview although “fascism” really isn’t the correct term for what is being described, which is something far more sophisticated than the classical cult of the strongman. Fascism is something that tends to emerge in societies that are still in a relatively early stage […]
What could possibly go wrong?
Everyone hates the ruling class. Co-host of the Bad Faith Podcast, Briahna Joy Gray, discusses why rank-and-file lawmakers in the Democratic Party are nervous.
One thing that should be pointed out is that it is not uncommon for “strongman” rulers to have conflicts within their oligarchies and deep states. Putin is clearly a strongman and quasi-dictator even if he purged the corrupt oligarchy that ruled Russian during the Yeltsin period. Turkey’s deep […]
By Peter R. Quinones It’s a common refrain among many people but especially those with some kind of public platform (this was inspired by a comedian saying it) that “we” needed Trump gone so wounds could be healed and the people can come back together. Who are these […]
To ask the question is to answer it. All the neocons will have to do is start using some Christian Democrat-like economic rhetoric and they can continue to co-opt the economic nationalist wing of the working class the way they’ve co-opted social conservatives and pro-lifers. Exec. Director of […]
John McCain’s wife is on Biden’s transition team. As I have said, the neocons now control both parties.
The return of Obamaism. Fortunately, it looks like the Republicans will control the Senate and Supreme Court while the Democrats will control the Presidency and the House, which means that divided government survives. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti share their thoughts on the reported Executive Orders Joe Biden […]
By Troy Southgate The large number of people who were removed from Facebook for attacking Biden in the run-up to the U.S. election should have realised the truth: this is not because Facebook is part of an ‘anti-Trump’ conspiracy, but due to the fact that the decision to […]
Derrick Broze: “Friends, It’s going to be hell no matter what. I know SOME of you see past the games, but many of you who follow me still play the game. Here’s what I see: 1. The Biden “Revolutionaries” – these are the folks who were/are committed to […]
Derrick Broze: “Friends, Generally, as an anarchist, I take joy in seeing more and more Americans lose faith in the political system and voting. I work daily to help people understand that choosing government is not the most effective or principled way to achieve the changes we desire. […]
A very thorough critique of Bidenism. By Sean Jobst This is not an endorsement. My perspective is cultural, that true changes occur within the thinking and social actions of people, not in fleeting political charades. Its a recognition that change must occur within ourselves first and then extend […]
The GOP would be about as sincere in their populism as they are in their evangelical Christianity and pro-life views. Editor at American Affairs, Julius Krein, discusses President Trump’s win of unions in Ohio.
It goes without saying that FOX will blame any election-related violence on the “left” while the rest of the media will blame Trumpists and the “far-right.” And they will all probably be right. FOX News The Oregon National Guard was activated in Portland, Ore., on Wednesday night in […]
