Nexus X HumectressThe Proud Boys fracture? About what? The jerkers vs. anti-jerkers? The System is fracturing. The Red and Blue tribes are fracturing. And the fringes of the Red and Blue tribes are fracturing. Awesome. By Marissa J. Lang, Washington Post As members of the Proud Boys arrived at the […]
Alexander Reid-Ross and his friends are folks who have lambasted me for years for daring to talk to anti-system tendencies with less than woke views about a lot of things. But this is apparently who they find acceptable. Anarcho-cops/anarcho-spooks. It had to happen, I suppose. Check out The […]
By David E. Sanger, New York The decision will disappoint the human rights community and members of his own party who complained during the Trump administration that the U.S. was failing to hold Mohammed bin Salman accountable. WASHINGTON — President Biden has decided that the diplomatic cost of […]
By B. Venkat Mani, TELOS On November 26, 2020, when international borders were still partially closed due to the global coronavirus pandemic, a new democratic and peaceful movement was taking shape in India, led by farmers. They wanted to register their protest against three contentious agricultural reform laws […]
Some QAnon type needs to primary this bitch.
The War on Drugs is the most disastrous domestic policy the US has pursued in the past century.
I have long suspected that Alexander Reid-Ross has some kind of law enforcement and/or intelligence connection. This segment with Jimmy Dore and Max Blumenthal would seem to confirm it.
My interview with Liberty Lockdown podcast. Listen here. “A lot of people believe anarchism is a utopic dream, one which has never existed and never could. Today I had on a college professor named Keith Preston who is truly an expert in the area of anarchist history. If […]
Bill Kristol, the neocons’ heir to the throne, has called for the neocons to align themselves with Bidenism. Geez, I wonder why. President Biden ordered air strikes against an Iranian-backed militia group in eastern Syria after the group fired rockets at U.S. troops. NBC News’ Kristen Welker reports.
A third voice is needed in this debate that addresses questions of scale. For the first five or so years that I was an anarchist, I had more or less the same views as Brenton and Non-Compete. Then I moved to a position more like David Friedman’s and […]
–Chris Smalls, former Amazon employee who has become a leader of the e-commerce labor rights movement, joins David to discuss his activism, time working at Amazon, and much more
From what I can gather “wokesters” come in at least five basic categories: ruling class elements seeking to incorporate progressive movements from recent decades into their self-legitimating ideology; professional class ladder-climbers engaged in virtue-signaling; quasi-religious zealots bent on moral purity akin to the Mormons and their “words of […]
A comment on social media sums up US politics perfectly, both mainstream and marginal. “Watching people shift from arguing about the merits of pop-punk to which strain of Marxism they like the best without changing tone or argumentation method is a real headfuck.” Says another commenter: “I’ve compared […]
Ironically, Donald Trump was the first US president to formally recognize an anarchist polity. By Matthew Singer, Williamette Week Portland, it’s finally safe to come out from your panic bunker: There is no more anarchy in PDX. Not officially, anyway. On Wednesday, President Joe Biden issued an executive order repealing several actions implemented by […]
I don’t think this is entirely implausible.

This is good. Host of The Bad Faith podcast, Briahna Joy Gray, discusses how the Biden White House is using identity politics to support their agenda.
As I’ve said before, some Republicans will increasingly embrace Christian Democrat or national-populist rhetoric as class divisions continue to widen. Team Rising discusses Republican plans for raising the minimum wage.
This is some important commentary. This is how Chinese or Saudi levels of censorship could make its way to the Western countries. Saagar Enjeti reacts to reports that Democratic members of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce wrote to Comcast, AT&T, Spectrum, Dish, Verizon, Cox and more […]
Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss Biden’s failures in the first month of his presidency.
Interesting if true.
The SJW version of when the Falwellites were claiming the Teletubbies were turning kids gay.
I’ve noticed this change of terminology as well.
By Caitlin Johnstone The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Arkansas’ anti-BDS law violates the First Amendment of the US Constitution, because it plainly does. “The Arkansas Times has successfully challenged a law that prohibits the state from doing business with companies that boycott Israel,” Mondoweiss reports. […]
By Peter R. Quinones This was my introduction at a fundraiser for Ross Ulbricht. Lyn, his mom, was sitting right in front of me as I delivered it. My good friend Vin Armani was there as well. I was just trying not to lose it. I did when […]
This debate was a reminder of why I prefer elite theory and institutional/behavioral economics rather than Marxism or Austrianism.
It’s funny how left and right are respectively blaming capitalism and socialism for the Texas blackout.
By Matt Purple, The American Conservative Before the current realignment but after the one Karl Rove tried to engineer, there was yet another attempt to realign American politics. A small crew of antiwar Republicans wanted to push the neoconservatives out of the party and maybe even over to […]
By Micah Meadowcroft, The American Conservative When a Washington Post reporter came digitally knocking looking for comment at Tesla CEO and sometimes-world’s-richest-man Elon Musk’s door, he did the only right thing you can. He blew them off. There are exceptions, of course, and I hope you would consider […]
By William S. Lind, Traditional Right For millions of Americans, perhaps as many as one-third of the population, the results of the popular vote contest in the 2020 election of the President remain in doubt. Because the Electoral College, not the voters, elects the President, there is no […]
By Stella Chan and Leah Asmelash, CNN A 30-year-old Northern California man undergoing a mental health episode died days after police officers kneeled on the back of his neck for nearly five minutes to subdue him, lawyers for his family said. Angelo Quinto had been “suffering from anxiety, […]
It’s funny how “both sides” are constantly trying to flagrantly rig the game in their favor.
I knew this guy was a total conman the first time I ever heard him over 30 years ago.
This segment is a perfect illustration of the unfortunate nature of mainstream discourse concerning economics, where the arguments are framed as pitting plutocratic apologists vs statist regulators and bureaucrats, i.e. the nobles vs the monarchs. And, unfortunately, the few people who understand this usually double as “culture war” […]
Research shows that political junkies are less than 15-20% of the US population. They’re just the most vocal, and often concentrated in sectors with a larger than average platform. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss new Suffolk University polls showing the public view on QAnon.

Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti react to reports that Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen are doing podcast together.
Assuming this polling data is accurate, this is the highest level of support for this idea to date. Keep in mind that during the past half-century public opinion has shifted wildly on a wide range of issues: civil rights, interracial marriage, military conscription, gender roles, gay rights, gay […]
By David Flood, Sapiens Anarchists have been an easy scapegoat for violent events in recent months. But anarchism, as a political philosophy, is fundamentally about collective deliberation and responsibility. Two hours into a weekly planning session, the 15 or so black-clothed, tattooed, and pierced activists were getting cranky. […]
By Amory Starr and Jason Adams Abstract This paper examines one of the less-discussed modes of anti-globalization, relocalization, or local autonomy. It describes a range of autonomous movements, summarizes their political-economic ideas, and discusses some common social critiques raised in regard to local autonomy. Apologists for the costly […]
