The principal dividing line in the “culture wars” is between the college-educated and non-college-educated, rather than class, race, gender, or religion.

By C.J. Polychroniou, Truthout Twenty years ago this week, the terrorist organization al-Qaeda, whose origins date back to 1979 when Soviet troops invaded Afghanistan, hijacked four airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against the Twin Towers and the Pentagon in the United States. Shortly thereafter, the administration of George […]
By Yves Smith A couple of years ago, when Lambert would talk about professional pundits and official Democratic spokescritters behaving as if they were trying to stoke civil war in the US, I thought he’d been spending too much time on Twitter and might benefit from a dose […]
This is actually a good thing. These drugs are mostly less dangerous than alcohol, both to self and others. Katie Camero, Miami Herald College students smoke weed; it’s all in the data. But now a new study shows they are lighting up at the highest recorded levels since […]
At this point, it seems like there is no way the United States can hold together indefinitely. Americans agree on literally nothing. And I don’t see how that is going to change any time in the foreseeable future. If a national crisis like the pandemic and its impact […]
By Bethany Blankley | The Center Square (The Center Square) – The majority of all U.S. counties have been designated as Second Amendment sanctuaries, according to an analysis by SanctuaryCounties.com. As of June 20, there are 1,930 counties “protected by Second Amendment Sanctuary legislation at either the state […]
This is really interesting. As the wider culture, particularly among the elite, has moved sharply leftward, the deeper red zones have at times taken a sharp turn rightward, and not just on abortion. How long before the system cracks? By Emma Bowman, NPR More abortion restrictions have been […]
Polyamory is now working its way into the mainstream as well. By Elizabeth Nolan Brown, Reason Cambridge legalizes polyamorous partnerships. The city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, will become the second municipality in the country to legalize domestic partnerships between three or more people. On Monday, Cambridge City Council approved […]
The trans rights movement is the new gay rights movement, and the sex worker rights movement is becoming the new trans rights movement. I’m beginning to see articles like this in the mainstream press much more frequently. By Anya Jabour, Washington Post New York lawmakers are engaged in […]
I remember when this group first appeared in the late 1990s, they were widely ridiculed as absurd. But did they not achieve their goals? Are not more than a third of the US states now de facto or de jour “stoner homelands”? I guess the moral of the […]
Once again, issues I have been debating for years are now becoming mainstream. At this point, I would have to say that the majority of ideas (taken from a myriad of diverse and often seemingly contradictory sources) that I have been discussing, criticizing, debating, or advocating for here […]

From what I have seen over the past few years, the “libertarian movement” in the US has largely deteriorated into a WWE area where different culture war factions can play-fight. Different libertarian and anarchist tendencies seem to have merely become appendages to the major tribes. The best that […]
Robby Soave breaks down why journalists at legacy institutions advocate for more social media content moderation.
The ACLU once represented the best elements of the American Left. No more. The only value I see in the American Left at present is as a constraint on the American Right. The opposite is also true. The best we can hope for is that the two sides […]
Cotton appears to be trying to advance his own position by promoting himself as the “anti-Fauci” now that Fauci has fallen out of favor with much of the Right. This guy is extraordinarily dangerous. A Cotton administration would be the worst aspects of the Reagan, Bush I, Bush […]
Ryan Grim, Kim Iversen, and Robby Soave discuss reactions to The Intercept’s reporting on NIH funding of bat coronavirus research in Wuhan.
As much as it pains me to have to agree with the late Irving Kristol, the godfather of the neocons, on anything, it seems his theory of the “new class” was largely correct. James Burnham argued that capitalism had assumed a new form in the mid-20th century (managerial […]
While I don’t share his loopy Maoism, this video by Jason Unruhe explains pretty well why I reject virtually all US political factions, from far-left to far-right. Nearly all of these are merely rival teams within the global 1%. Most of the anti-one percenters are in fact one-percenters. […]
David Frum once again demonstrates himself to be a neocon cocksucker as if we needed more evidence. The same people that are saying that you don’t need a gun because you can just call the police…. are the same people calling to defund the police. The police and […]
That sums is up pretty well, Banned Hipster Hanlon’s razor is an adage or rule of thumb that states “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”. Known in several other forms, it is a philosophical razor that suggests a way of eliminating unlikely explanations […]

A new and excellent article from Michael Lind. By Michael Lind, Tablet What a newly rediscovered thinker got right and wrong. Who could have guessed that in the third decade of the 21st century, many conservatives would be discussing class struggle, while most progressives would be determined to […]
This commentary is quite good, although I don’t share the politics of these guys. I’m definitely on the same side as the far left and/or paleoconservative folks they are worried will gain too much influence in the aftermath of the failure of Afghanistan and Iraq. Their comparison of […]
