Nexus X HumectressThe Five Crises of the American Regime

What I Saw at the Capitol
By Declan Leary, The American Conservative It’s all but silent as I step out onto 17th Street just past noon, a small gaggle of flag-waving MAGA folk to my left the only other people in sight. It’s warm enough to walk, so I make off for the Capitol […]
A Heinous Day in American History
More hilarious than heinous. Are we really supposed to be outraged that a bunch of yahoos managed to bust through a police line and do some petty vandalism, with one of them being shot by a frightened cop who had probably never dealt with a riot before, only […]

Glenn Greenwald REACTS: Twitter, Facebook SUSPEND Trump Accounts
Greenwald is becoming a hated man in certain sectors of the Left. One of the greatest things about recent events has been the ongoing fragmentation of the Red and Blue tribes as well as the wider Red/Blue divide. Journalist, Glenn Greenwald, reacts to both Twitter and Facebook suspending […]
The Media’s Role In Dividing Us In Light Of Capitol Chaos
Media outlets are the churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples of the Red/Blue tribal-sectarian civil war. In traditional societies, it is the religious institutions that are normally the arbiters of social and moral norms. However, in modern societies that role has largely been assumed by education, science, medicine, technology, […]
Will Trump Be Removed By 25th Amendment?
I kind of hope it happens. That would be even funnier. The dominant consensus among power elite opinion will ultimately prevail. It’s no different than invoking the by-laws of a corporation that allow for the removal of an incompetent CEO or Chairman of the Board. Team Rising discusses […]

Trump Incites Riot At US Capitol In Shameful Day Of US History
Are you fucking kidding me? Most shameful day? It barely scratches the surface. Read up on the history of massacres in the US.

Do you realize now what you have done? US gets the kind of ‘democracy’ it championed overseas

Mass Delusion in America What I heard from insurrectionists on their march to the Capitol
By Jeffrey Goldberg, The Atlantic Insurrection Day, 12:40 p.m.: A group of about 80 lumpen Trumpists were gathered outside the Commerce Department, near the White House. They organized themselves in a large circle, and stared at a boombox rigged to a megaphone. Their leader and, for some, savior—a […]
Dear Trump Nation: Are you happy now that you’ve stormed the U.S. Capitol?
For decades, I always thought that in an actual revolutionary situation, it would be the urban lumpenproletariat that was taking down the muncipales and the rural suburban lumpenproletariat that was taking down the federales. Events of the past six months seem to have confirmed that suspicion, with some […]
Why the stock market rallied even as a violent mob stormed the Capitol
We are a long way from an actual revolutionary situation. As long as the stock market is doing well, and as long as the military remains loyal to the state, there is no revolution. Those two things are the only two things the power elite care about. When […]

Tucker: Our only option is to fix what’s causing this
Carlson is probably correct that this incident will be used as a pretext for a crackdown on “domestic terrorism.” This gives the system the pretext it needs.

What More Needs to Be Said
Capitol placed on lockdown, buildings evacuated amid protests
The Little League Falange wannabes make their move. I generally favor anti-system violence regardless of where it comes from or what foolish cause it’s attached to. Decades ago, I predicted that while the struggle against the US state/ruling class/power elite would cut across ordinary ideological, cultural, and class […]

The Four Horsemen Of Election Denialism
The best thing about the “Stop the Steal” scam is the exacerbated division between Trumpists and neocons it has caused, the pig vs right-winger street clashes that have resulted, and the mockery of the state that is taking place. Keep up the good work, Donald and friends. Krystal […]
Trump, Mitch Hand Dems SHOCKING Upset In GA Senate Races
McGovern’s revenge marches on. The relegation of the GOP to permanent minority status and the creation of a de facto one party state like Mexico’s PRI in the 20th century or Sweden’s Social Democrat would have disadvantages (like a less divided government) but we anti-systemists would be less […]
Toward a Machiavellian libertarianism
By Peter R. Quinones I’ve been contacted by many people who have heard me talk about Machiavellianism but have no clear understanding of what I’m trying to communicate. As we weren’t taught this in government schools, that’s understandable. This is information that “the powers that be” benefit from […]
Abolish the Senate
Why stop at the Senate? Why not the whole fucking government? Once again, social democrats display their appalling lack of vision. By Daniel Lazare, The Jacobin With Republican Senate victories in Montana, South Dakota, Iowa, Arkansas, Colorado, North Carolina, and West Virginia, Democrats are reeling from their worst […]
China Sentences Ex-Finance Chief to Death on Corruption
It looks like China is conducting a purge of the disfavored sectors of its ruling class. China functions in roughly the same way as a traditional royalist/feudal society. An absolute monarch, Xi Jinping, is the head of state, and occasionally offs royal ministers, aristocrats, capitalists, or clerics that […]
The New York Times Is Now Officially Chinese Communist Propaganda
The New York Times is and always has been, as Abbie Hoffman said, “the voice of the ruling class,” particularly the northeastern based financial elites who have always been the dominant sector of the US ruling class (and which has now merged with the tech elite). The WaPo […]
