By Matt Taibbi The much-publicized war over “meme stocks” drags a longstanding Wall Street ripoff out of the shadows, to hilarious results. On CNBC’s Fast Money last week, anchor Melissa Lee appeared to mention the unmentionable. She was talking with Tim Seymour, CEO of Seymour Asset Management, who […]
A four-square-metre box with a screen and computer. This is what Japanese cyber-cafes offer, around the clock. Most customers just spend an hour or two here. But there are thousands who spend their lives in them.

As Leona Helmsley famously observed, taxes are only for the little people. By Jesse Eisinger, Jeff Ernsthausen and Paul Kiel, Pro Publica ProPublica has obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Warren Buffett pay little in income tax compared […]
Change the title of this to “On Having Jewishness” and the problematic aspects of this line of thinking are illustrated. This article, along with the writings of Ibram X. Kendi, is the most extreme example I have seen to date of full-blown “left-racial supremacism” entering into mainstream discourse. […]
By Steven Quay and Richard Muller, Wall Street Journal The possibility that the pandemic began with an escape from the Wuhan Institute of Virology is attracting fresh attention. President Biden has asked the national intelligence community to redouble efforts to investigate. Much of the public discussion has focused […]
By Dan Robitzski, Futurism Next time you hit up a McDonald’s drive-thru, you might find yourself leaning out your window to bark your order to a robot rather than a pimply teenager. The fast food giant has been testing out a Siri-like voice-recognition system at ten drive-thru locations in Chicago, […]
By Jon Miltimore, Foundation for Economic Education More than a dozen states have passed or advanced legislation to place new checks on the powers of public health agencies in the wake of the pandemic. Mike Fratantuono grew up in a restaurant. Literally. For decades, Sunset Restaurant in Glen […]
Culture became a battleground in America throughout the second half of the twentieth century. From the Counterculture, New Left, Neoconservativism, and Religious Right – these clashes came to define a new political system that developed by 1980 which we still inhabit in the United States. This was what […]
Neoliberalism is why we’ve become so unequal over the course of this party system. As a result, the US is more divided politically than most of us can remember. I’m a cultural historian, as in I study the cultural significance of historical events, so it pains me to […]
By Billy Binion, Reason Onree Norris was 78 years old when a swarm of police officers raided his Georgia home without warning in 2018, bombarding the place with two flash-bang grenades, careening through the door with a battering ram, and placing Norris under arrest. He was later released […]
By Bert Altena, One of the characteristics of anarchist movements is their pattern of appearance and disappearance. In fact, there are two different patterns. One is short-term and occurred mainly during the period of classical anarchism (i.e. 1870–1914). During these years, in several countries, the anarchist movement disappeared, […]
Faucists destroyed economies, defended communist bioweapon research, and peddled lies. All the while the few of us who spoke out were demonized as extreme or as conspiracy theorists.

Philip Short’s biography of Pol Pot is probably the best discussion of what actually happened in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge. Probably the single most tyrannical regime in history.

By Emma Green. The Atlantic Bill Haslam, the former governor of Tennessee, is trying to figure out how religious Republicans got so extreme. Bill Haslam is not a natural fit for the Donald Trump–era Republican Party. The former Tennessee governor checks certain GOP boxes: He favors low taxes and […]
By Becky Ferreira, Vice Perchlorate, a dangerous chemical compound, is abundant in Martian soil. A new catalyst could help remove this contaminant on Earth, and beyond it. Humans have dreamed of setting foot on Mars for more than a century, but the inhospitable conditions on the red planet present […]
By Hanzi Freinacht,Metamoderna In this series of what we can learn from the totalitarian ideologies (for communism click here, and for fascism click here), I’d wish things would get less demonic around this time and that I could point to a cuter and happier ending when we get […]
By Peter Suderman, Reason Politicians and policymakers know less than they think they do, in part because they have less power over our lives than they assume. One thing that’s more clear than ever after a year of pandemic governance is that politicians and policymakers know less than […]
By Brian Doherty, Reason Arkansas cops love this insane practice they call “precision immobilization technique”—slamming into moving vehicles, sometimes over simple traffic stops. Nicole Harper, pregnant with her daughter, was driving her SUV home on a Arkansas freeway in July 2020 when Arkansas State trooper Rodney Dunn decided […]
By Paul Gottfried, Chronicles The right is often accused of fascist tendencies in many of today’s political diatribes. A typical response is for the right to return the same accusation toward the left, a fact Edward Ring explores in a recent article for American Greatness, citing Jonah Goldberg’s famous book Liberal […]
By Pat Buchanan, Chronicles “Take away this pudding; it has no theme,” is a comment attributed to Winston Churchill, when a disappointing dessert was put in front of him. Writers have used Churchill’s remark to describe a foreign policy that lacks coherence or centrality of purpose. For most […]
By William S. Lind, Traditional Right Readers may wonder why I keep returning to the theme of legitimacy. The reason is simple: legitimacy is the ground on which Fourth Generation war is fought. It is, above all, a contest for legitimacy, and winning (or losing) is measured by […]
In These Times In July 1998, In These Times documented the CIA’s myriad abuses during the Guatemalan Civil War. It’s a history that Vice President Kamala Harris has conveniently ignored.

by Joe Parkin Daniels, The Guardian Fifty-eight people have died in six weeks of unrest, but demonstrators say they are more determined than ever to fight for change. Protests in Colombia that began in late April over a proposed tax hike have morphed into a generational outcry over […]

A critical critique of the trans rights movement from a trans person.
What if the mass civil unrest currently being experienced across the United States came to the point of triggering a Second American Civil War following the 2020 Election? What would the factions be? Where will the war begin? Where will it be fought? Where will we be safe? […]

I make no value judgment about any of this, but it is interesting to observe the cultural contrast.
We should have some states or metropolises with single-payer, some with total free-market medicine, some with mid-range systems, some cooperative/mutualist systems, etc. and see which one works the best. New York State Senate Minority Leader, Robert Ortt, explains why he opposes the New York Health Act.
I am generally opposed to bipartisanship. Many of the most fucked up things in US history were highly “bipartisan.” The Gulf of Tonkin resolution, for example. Host of Bad Faith podcast, Briahna Joy Gray, discusses the breakdown of bipartisan debate over the infrastructure bill.
There is an interesting “culture war” dynamic being played out in this case. A conservative Muslim with an allegedly autistic and transgender kid versus the medical profession in a blue zone. By Rod Dreher, The American Conservative Yesterday I wrote about how Alphonso David, the head of the […]

Ryan Grim and Emily Jashinsky discuss the latest updates in the “lab leak theory.”
By Peter R. Quinones If you followed my work pre-CV19 then you noticed that when the government started instituting their anti-human policies in response to the “pandemic” I kinda lost my shit. I would consider my pre-CV19 thoughts to be “radical,” but the last 15 months or so […]
Ryan Grim and Emily Jashinsky react to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s defense of VP Kamala Harris’ immigration comments.
It’s interesting to see all the liberals calling for law and order in the comments threads related to this video.
Watch for the Democrats (currently led by arch police statists Biden and Harris) to move toward stronger “law and order” rhetoric in the future. There will be three purposes for doing so: pacifying a general public concerned about rising crime rates, winning over swing voters from the right, […]
