In this miniclip Andy Norman and I discuss about fixing Tribalism.
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley It’s that time of year again, dearest motherfuckers. My favorite time of year. A time for mischief and chaos. A time for goblins, ghosts and ghouls. A time for swirling leaves, raucous bonfires and flickering jack-o-lanterns. A time […]

By Peter R. Quinones I unironically agree that having one person in charge rather than the leviathan that exists now would be preferable. At least you’d know who to blame when everything goes to shit. Whose fault is the shitshow we’re in now? Biden, Trump, Pelosi, or someone […]

Classical bourgeois capitalism that developed during the industrial revolution more or less collapsed during the Great Depression, and for the reasons Marx said it would, i.e. the growing concentration of wealth would result in underconsumption to […]
This is an interesting article that, I think, illustrates both the strengths and limitations of modern “conservative” critiques of the new ruling class.

By Matt Taibbi The press tries and fails to hype a crisis into existence over Dave Chappelle’s new Netflix special. First, there were the numbers. Over the course of the last week, news commentators predicted a huge demonstration of Netflix employees in protest of comedian Dave Chappelle’s The […]
By Andrew Sullivan We also discuss the many qualities that make wokeness a new religion. For anyone who follows online debates over race in America, John needs little introduction. The Columbia linguist just wrote a bracing tract, Woke Racism, against the new elite religion. He, like me, despises […]
By Megan Leonhardt Fortune On Yom Kippur, Karen Jimenez spent an hour arguing, as politely as possible, with a little old lady. Not because she wanted to, but because it was now part of her job as director of events at the New York City-based Prince George Ballroom. […]

It seems there has been a revival of organized labor activity in recent times, which is not surprising given the level of class polarization that currently exists, although in the past I have been skeptical of the potential effectiveness of organized labor when the workforce is so transient […]

It’s demographic shifts. While it’s arguable that coverage of Trump has shifted opinions within individual members of the Democratic base, the larger story of the last few decades has been the Democrats’ abandonment of the working class and embrace of suburban elites and urban professionals. It’s different people […]
