Yes Magazine Since President-elect Joe Biden’s decisive win in November, there has been understandable consternation at the efforts by President Trump […]
The most serious domestic issue at present. The modern police state really began with Nixon’s war on drugs in the 1970s, which was expanded by Reagan and Poppy Bush in the 80s. It then became a general war on crime, guns, gangs, etc, in the 1990s, following by […]
Now the Red Tribe can form a “Resistance” of their own, I guess. Team Rising discusses a heated focus group conducted by Republican pollster, Frank Luntz.
Do it. Hopefully, Bret Weinstein’s Unity movement will eventually get off the ground as well. The more parties the better, and at every level. What we need is a Holy Roman Empire type of situation where there are so many factions they all end up constraining each other. […]
Bring it on. And let’s get the proposed “Peoples’ Party” from the left going as well. Fracture, fracture, fracture… By Matt Welch, Reason “Goodbye. We love you. We will be back in some form,” Donald Trump said at the end of his final speech as president of the […]
There is an interesting new piece from the leftist “antifascist” writer Matthew Lyons. He could be considered a “Blue Tribe fundamentalist” (similar to Chomsky and Carson, but not as sleazy as Reid-Ross or crazy as Gillis) so his work is often ideologically tunnel-visioned but he has an encyclopedic […]
I’m glad to see I am not the only one who recognizes this. A Lebanese professor of evolutionary psychology who lived through the civil war points out the parallels. Russia Today It’s the Democrats’ ideology-driven policy labeling the opposing camp ‘domestic terrorists’ and not Donald Trump’s legacy that’s […]
The term “totalitarian humanism” is the one I use for the self-legitimating ideological superstructure of the ruling classes, states, and power elites of developed (“First World”) countries. Totalitarian humanism’s core features would be the following: -masking imperialism under the guise of “human rights,” “collective security,” “duty to protect,” […]
We now have an interesting situation where the Democrats control the federal government and most large cities while the Republicans control a supermajority of the state governments.

They surrendered the capital in order to provoke a patriot act 2.0.
Richie Merino does NOT want people to call what happened on January 6 “a coup” or even attempted coup. Neither does Katie. And they have a slight disagreement with a viewer and friend of the show.

Bill Lind, a staunch paleoconservative and leading theoretician of fourth-generation warfare, calls for massive civil disobedience from the Right. I suspect that as the right-wing continues to shrink in size and lose power politically, it will increasingly adopt tactics like the 1960s radicals, including civil disobedience, mass demonstrations, […]
Mencius Moldbug argues the US is a “clerical oligarchy.” I agree half-way. My position is more like Joel Kotkin’s view of the US as a plutocratic-clerical oligarchy. By Mencius Moldbug Americans are used to a constitution which is a Constitution: half a holy document in a holy glass […]
Now if we could just have a President who wrecks the Democratic Party as bad as Trump wrecked the Republican Party. The best thing about Trump was that he made the state look like what it actually is, i.e. the mafia writ large, and having a chaos agent […]
By Stansfield Smith, One World With the exit of Trump, we can expect renewed threats against North Korea and increased military action in the Middle East. We will experience not just an end to presidential condemnations of the national security state, but its further unleashing on the US […]

A new affidavit filed Tuesday […]
By Matt Taibbi It is symptomatic of the underlying tenor of American life that vulgar terms for sexual intercourse also convey the sense of getting the better of someone, working him over, taking him in, imposing your will through guile, deception, or superior force. — Christopher Lasch, The […]
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 14 We are witnessing the birth of a new national mythology in America, and it is not good news. Imperfect as it was, the old one was better, warts and all, and it needs to be fought for. This new […]

By Keith Preston It was 20 years ago this month, in January of 2001, that AttacktheSystem.Com first appeared. Previously, I had been involved in radical activities since the late 1980s. For about five years, I was a conventional left-wing anarchist, engaging in strike support (Eastern Airlines, Greyhound Bus, […]
by Don Fitz Cuban blood left its stamp on the conscience of the world after the Angolan Wars of 1975-1988. Corporate politicians are united in their desire for us to ignore this reality. * * * Fed up with foreign wars, Portuguese officers overthrew Prime Minister Marcello Caetano […]

At no point in the last 50 years has there been as much political conflict in the US as there is today. And while the conflicts of the 1960s/1970s may have been just as intense, or more intense in some instances, the situation then was qualitatively different because […]
By Thomas Spence, Wall Street Journal I am an independent book publisher, and in recent days I have been taking calls from journalists asking which authors I would refuse to publish. That’s an odd question to ask an American publisher, but suddenly it seems to be on everyone’s […]
