Nexus X HumectressThe problem with “populist nationalism” is that these “national populist” parties almost always represent the traditional right-wing of the ruling class rooted in industrial capitalism that is losing out to the rising digital capitalist sectors that are eclipsing them. The “industrial national bourgeoisie” are now in the same […]
Here’ my take on this “critical race theory” controversy. “Conservatives” (at least those of the pop-culture variety) have started using “critical race theory” as a label for anything they find ideologically objectionable. The same way they use woke, SJW, politically correct, etc. Actual CRT is something much narrower […]
Aside from some theoretical differences in the realms of political theory and economic theory, the main problem I have with US libertarians is the way in which they have not been able to stand apart from mainstream US politics. It seems that virtually all libertarians feel compelled to […]
The far-right political movement known as QAnon has taken off around the world, mobilising a committed band of believers dedicated to fighting what they claim is an ‘online war’ against corrupt, child abusing elites. In the United States, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has declared QAnon a […]
I generally don’t take positions on conflicts within or between other countries. The exception is when the United States is facilitating genocides, civil wars, coups, state repression, and de facto or de jour slavery in other places (which, unfortunately, involves a lot of other places). It’s kind of […]

By Fiona Harrigan, Reason Repealing the law that allowed America to depose Saddam Hussein won’t stop us from waging war elsewhere. The House is expected to vote tomorrow on a bill introduced by Rep. Barbara Lee (D–Calif.) that would repeal the 2002 Authorization for the Use of Military […]
By Abha Bhattarai Washington Post Retail workers, drained from the pandemic and empowered by a strengthening job market, are leaving jobs like never before.

Donald Trump’s lies led to many people taking awful actions in his name, and a mother of one of Trump’s supporters blames him for encouraging this even though he doesn’t care about the people who love him.
By Will Carless, USA Today KENOSHA, Wis. – Daniel Berry said he was searching for camaraderie. The 40-year-old Army veteran yearned to forge the sort of bonds he had in the military: a brotherhood of like-minded men watching one another’s backs, holding one another up, united in a common goal. Last […]
Look for more of this in the future. By Laurel Wamsley, NPR Missouri has new a law that claims to invalidate all federal gun control laws — and prohibits state and local cooperation with enforcement of those laws. Gov. Mike Parson signed the bill, known as HB 85 […]
So the idea is to merely relocate the troops to next door in Afganistan. I suspect Pakistan will move more toward the Chinese orbit as the US influence in the region recedes. I see a potential future geopolitical rivalry between China/Pakistan and India/Japan/Southeast Asia/South Pacific. By Aarmir Latif […]

By Franz Lidz, New York Times On the morning after Juliane Diller fell to earth, she awoke in the deep jungle of the Peruvian rainforest dazed with incomprehension. Just before noon on the previous day — Christmas Eve, 1971 — Juliane, then 17, and her mother had boarded […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Sometimes I can’t help but feeling like the Ebenezer Scrooge of Pride Month, pissing on everybody’s parade from my high horse of moral superiority. It’s not that I’m not proud of my people. Quite the contrary. We survived […]

This article by an ex-cop in Arizona nails it. “Defund the Police” is a scam that’s actually about strengthening the police state through nationalizing law enforcement to an even greater degree than what is the case at present. By Masooma Haq and Jan Jekielek Epoch Times “Defund the […]

Tom Woods Show We’ve been raised to think of the state as a social service agency, or as the institution through which we govern ourselves, or any of a variety of comforting myths about what the state really is. In this episode we drop the cutesy propaganda and […]
Ben Burgis comes to Ana’s rescue. Although I still think Ana was too soft in the interview. Ana Kasparian has recently and once again been the subject of, or rather subjected to, controversy on the Left. Ben Burgis plays a portion of Ana’s interview with Madeleine Albright that […]
This piece includes a somewhat interesting Q&A with George Packer on rising sectarianism in the US. By Jeffrey Goldberg, The Atlantic Donald Trump’s battle cry of insurrection—“If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore”—didn’t strike me at first as a four-horsemen moment […]

Rogan is neither Right completely nor Left. People like him because he is open-minded.
The surge was high from January, but since many Edd’s withheld so many cases, for so many months. It prevented the actual numbers at the beginning of the year. This was done intentionally to have the public believe we are doing great again, but in reality, information and […]

How does Hillary pull her punches when talking about war criminals and rapists but is so aggressive and angry over anyone that has ever inconvenienced her sociopathic power grabs ?
This behavior isn’t common for old dudes…it’s common for dementia patients. Biden probably apologized so that he can get to sniff the reporter’s hair.
The elites know sooner or later the peasants are going to get fed up and so are becoming increasingly authoritarian.
The United States also overthrew the Ecuadorian government just recently just to kick Julian Assange out of the Ecuadorian Embassy. AS soon as Julian was in jail we let them have their fair elections back. Of course, our news was mostly silent on this.

In this video, we look at the similarities, and, more importantly, the differences between C.H. Douglas’ proposal of a National Dividend and a conventional Universal Basic Income (or UBI).

Very Latin America-like in terms of the rising poverty levels. By Lexie Harrison-Cripps and Eric Pape, Main and Capital For generations, a carnival-like spectacle has helped draw millions of visitors to the soft sands of Venice Beach — a place second only to Disneyland among Southern California’s tourist sites, […]
My guess is that the UBI idea will increasingly gain traction in the future as a means of pacification in response to rising social unrest rooted in widening class divisions. A lot of tech overlords seem to be enthusiastic about this and they are the rising ruling class. […]

By Glenn Greenwald The FBI has been manufacturing and directing terror plots and criminal rings for decades. But now, reverence for security state agencies reigns. The axis of liberal media outlets and their allied activist groups — CNN, NBC News, The Washington Post, Media Matters — are in […]
By David Pan TELOS After watching the images of the January 6 Capitol riot, many Americans concluded that right-wing populism threatens the basic rules of our constitutional order.

The FBI may be creating a STASI from the looks of it. We all should be weary of even more surveillance.
For historians of the ‘60s and ‘70s, one of the most pressing questions to ask is: What did the revolutionary movements of this period get right, and where did they go wrong? Of course, David and Margaret give us thought-provoking and insightful answers — on modern cynicism toward […]
By Holger Marcks “Taking a critical approach, Holger Marcks deconstructs the threat of ‘international anarchist terrorism’ as a justification narrative that was used to generally blame anarchist ideology for politically motivated assassinations, to criminalise political dissent and to shape the norms and practices of the respective transnational criminal […]
As the saying goes, “Let the doorknob hit you where Mother Nature split you.” Former Detroit police chief James Craig is ‘not surprised’ that police are resigning en masse in Portland. He also says the crime surge in Chicago is due to a failed criminal justice system.
