Nexus X HumectressThe Mindcrime liberty show discusses whether children are overrated with respect to different political groups and outlooks. Why do so many political/social movements across the spectrum seem to be about defending or doing things “for the children.” Are they really doing it for the children or their own […]

I disagree with this author’s claim that Marxism is what is driving the alleged “far-left” in the US, just as I disagree that the alleged “far-right” is driven by fascism. Actual Marxists are rare in US political culture (as are actual fascists). While there are Maoist-like tendencies on […]
A pretty good discussion of why totalitarian humanism and its derivatives are dangerous. Right now, US political culture faces three primary authoritarian dangers. The most immediate is the consolidation of a totalitarian humanist regime by the Center, and the use of inherited anti-crime and anti-terrorism laws to repress […]
By John Gertz Scientific American SETI, as a modern astronomical endeavor, dating to 1959 (first paper) and 1960 (first observation). Modern UFO sightings date to the late 1940s. Though superficially similar, the two fields in practice have had virtually nothing to do with one another. SETI usually requires […]
By Lucien van der Walt This paper examines the development of anarchism and syndicalism in early twentieth-century Cape Town, South Africa, drawing attention to a crucial but neglected chapter of labor and left history. Central to this story were the anarchists in the local Social Democratic Federation (SDF), […]
An interesting point the speaker makes is that surges in right-wing terrorism tend to accompany international warfare. Whenever the US is waging a major war internationally, a surge in right-wing violence tends to follow. However, I would argue that the main authoritarian danger from the right-wing is not […]
By Jonathan Karl, The Atlantic In the final months of the administration, the doggedly loyal attorney general finally had enough. Donald Trump is a man consumed with grievance against people he believes have betrayed him, but few betrayals have enraged him more than what his attorney general did […]
This latest bit of dumbassery from Dave Rubin provides a great context for me to explain why I am not a Republican. Some of Dave’s interviews have been interesting. I used to like his show. But over time he’s just become a Republican brown noser. He reminds me […]
By Martin Pengelly, The Guardian Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has dismissed comments in which the Georgia Republican extremist Marjorie Taylor Greene called her a “little communist” and said she should be locked up, tweeting: “First of all, I’m taller than her.” Greene is a far-right congresswoman and controversialist who was […]
By Paula Bolyard, PJ Media Former CIA Director John Brennan let the cat out of the bag during an MSNBC appearance Wednesday, saying that the Biden administration is laser-focused on rooting out “insurgency movements” in the U.S., cracking down on pernicious malefactors like (gasp!) libertarians. No, really. READ […]
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 […]
The US has a two-tiered and multi-dimensional class system that largely pits unionized public sector workers against private-sector workers, and highly skilled blue/white-collar workers against the low-skilled, unskilled, or unemployed. It’s one of the main reasons why the “free market vs welfare statist” and “unions vs right to […]
By Cyrus Farivar NBC News “It would be difficult to introduce a single thing and it causes crime to go down,” one expert said. When the Westland Real Estate Group bought Liberty Village, a sprawling 1,000-unit apartment complex on the northeastern edge of Las Vegas nearly two years […]
By Alan Macleod, Mintpress News The war in Afghanistan has looked a lot like the war on drugs in Latin America and previous colonial campaigns in Asia, with a rapid militarization of the area and the empowerment of pliant local elites. AFGHANISTAN — The COVID-19 pandemic has been […]
By Mel Leonor, Richmond Times-Dispatch Kisare Bundy had been on probation for most of his adult life when, at 22, a marijuana possession charge sent him to prison for just under a decade. An ounce and a half in his car toppled his probation status, altering the course […]

A debate on CRT from about six months ago. Critical race theory, as both an analytical framework and a movement, is pulling hard at the strands of racism that are supposedly woven into the very fabric of America. For critical race theorists, injustices are ubiquitous, entrenched in every […]
The scenario described in this story is not particularly analogous to where we are today. Political conflict in the 1930s was genuinely class-based. Class conflict exists today and continues to increase, but it is tertiary in relation to the intra-elite conflict (see Pareto on elites and counter-elites) pitting […]
This is a pretty interesting report from the National Intelligence Council. Read the full document here. There is more discussion of non-state actors from Beau below:
The predictions he outlines in this are fairly consistent with my own, particularly the role of non-state actors that he describes, which is a fundamental aspect of fourth-generation warfare theory.
