The Inevitability of Tribalism and Sectarianism
I’m undecided as to whose in-fighting is the most comical: libertarians, leftists, or the alt-right. I would view all of the people and groups mentioned in these memes as the equivalent of tribal leaders or clerics leading their own tribes and sects, with each of these tribes or […]

Capitalizing on Mass Incarceration: U.S. Growth in Private Prisons
Private prisons are only about 7% of the US prison industry. Most prisons are government-run prisons.

While those are obviously part of […]
What exactly is the “system” that we are fighting?

By Umair Haque, Medium Every sensible person knows by now that the GOP has become America’s greatest threat to itself. Even Republicans with common sense — like my father-in-law, the farmer — shake their head at what’s become of their party: a hotbed of fanatics, extremists, loons, and […]
