Ryan Grim and Emily Jashinsky discuss the shift in political ideology of millennials and Gen-Z.
These intra-libertarian civil wars are as funny as their parallels on the left. I’ve never called myself a libertarian. For one thing, orthodox libertarians (the Mises-Hayek-Friedman-Rand-Rothbard) were always too corporation-friendly for my tastes. It doesn’t seem to do much good to oppose the king while lionizing the aristocracy. […]
Tom Cotton is a total douchebag and one of the right-wing’s most dangerous figures (as a bridge between the neocons, Likudniks, Saudis, MIC, supply-siders, Reaganites, Trumpists, evangelicals, and nativists). He is also smarter, shrewder, and more calculating than similar figures like Cruz, Rubio, and Hawley. But he is […]

By Damon Linker, The Week Donald Trump’s presidency was a product of the country’s political polarization, but Trump himself pushed that polarization much further than it was before he took office. His actions during his final weeks in the White House — above all, his denial of his […]
By Felipe Corrêa To deal with the political thought of Errico Malatesta is not a simple task and is something that must be carried out with necessary caution. It is relevant to bear in mind three fundamental questions that run throughout any more careful analysis of his work: […]
By Jukka Savolainen, Slate It’s not hygge, the welfare state, or drinking. It’s reasonable expectations. Is hygge still a thing? The Danish concept of comfortable conviviality and all things cozy is supposed to capture the essence of Danish culture and has been marketed as the secret for happy […]
Whatever one thinks of her choice of terminology, the phenomenon she is pointing out is real.
Duh?
Whatever works, I guess.
“A motley collection of imbeciles, con artists, thieves, opportunists, and war-mongering generals.” Aesop: “The lower criminals we execute. The higher criminals we elect to high office.”
From 27% to 70% in 25 years. Now if support for the overthrow of the government could only grow at the same pace.
Ilhan is cool.
“Nothing will fundamentally change” – Biden to Wall Street
What they say about Virginia is absolutely correct. We’re moving toward the social policies of California with the economic policies of Alabama.
The media are the only people who like Princess Nancy.
If this surprises you, you just aren’t paying attention. Taxes now go to billionaires, not from them.
Economic nationalists like Saager overrate China just like liberals overrate Russia. China could only “buy” Bush, Clinton, and Biden because they were “for sale” in the first place. China is an economic colony of the US ruling class. It’s interesting how both Marxists and conservatives have an overblown […]
In this final episode, Mary Beard delves even deeper into ordinary Roman life by going behind the closed doors of their homes. She meets an extraordinary cast of characters – drunken housewives, teenage brides, bullied children and runaway slaves – and paints a more dynamic, lusty picture of […]

Arthur Laffer was also the shithead whose crackpot economic theories contributed to the massive national debt the US has at present. Ryan Grim and Emily Jashinsky react to Art Laffer’s comments on raising the minimum wage.
By Katherine Rodriguez | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com Differing strains of the coronavirus continue to appear and are worrying experts, including the newest one: the highly infectious “Delta variant” of COVID-19. Here is a guide explaining what the “Delta variant” of COVID-19 is, where it originated from, […]
A 3 1/2 hour interview I recently did with Adam Townsend.
I generally agree with this sociocultural analysis, although it’s possible the West could merely experience demographic overrun by religious cultures that breed in larger numbers and at a higher rate. Religion is in decline across the Western world. Whether measured by belonging, believing, participation in services, or how […]
Free Man Beyond the Wall Peter R Quinones
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.
