Nexus X HumectressBy Caitlin Johnstone Any violence arising from the US election or its aftermath will only benefit the powerful, will be used to justify authoritarian agendas which serve the powerful, and will in all probability have been instigated by the powerful. There are plenty of arguments to be made […]
By Rod Dreher, The American Conservative Well, I just returned from voting. Got up early to get to the polls when they opened at six a.m. Arrived a bit late — 6:20 — and there was already a long line. This was good, because it gave me more […]
By Angelo Codevilla, Claremont Review of Books On September 11, 2001, United Airlines Flight 93’s passengers defied armed hijackers and fought to take over the cockpit regardless of danger or odds because they realized that certain death was the alternative. Michael Anton’s 2016 essay “The Flight 93 Election,” […]
More like the “role of the jerkers’ movement.” Of course, that would indeed make them the natural counterpart to the anti-fapper Proud Bitches. By Alejandro Reuss, Labor Notes “It can’t happen here.” That is the complacent mantra that a society with long-standing “democratic” institutions couldn’t possibly succumb to […]
By Judith Shulevitz, The Atlantic Casting a ballot by Election Day is just the first thing Americans have to worry about. What if President Donald Trump and his allies stop the counting of ballots, or delay vote certification until Republican state legislatures can play hanky-panky with the electors? […]
By William S. Lind, Traditional Right The last time America faced an election where two incompatible cultures contended was 1860. Then, the face-off was between the industrial culture of the North and the agri-culture of the South (as Wendell Berry reminds us, agriculture is culture). The result was […]
By Tim Reid, Gabriella Borter, Michael Martina.Reuters LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – When lifelong Democrat Mayra Gomez told her 21-year-old son five months ago that she was voting for Donald Trump in Tuesday’s presidential election, he cut her out of his life. “He specifically told me, ‘You are no […]
By Randall G. Holcombe, The Independent Institute A romantic view of democracy is that it gives citizens control over their governments. Citizens decide who holds power, and if those who are elected do not carry out the will of the voters, democratic elections provide the mechanism to replace […]
The best revolutions involve a minimal amount of bloodshed. The American Revolution was flawed, but it lacked the bloodletting of the French Revolution. The overthrow of the USSR ushered in the Yeltsin disaster, but it lacked the horrors of Bolshevism. The overthow of Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines […]
By Jason Lee Byas, Center for a Stateless Society As you might have noticed, one of the (very quickly) upcoming Virtual Reading Groups will cover a wide selection of readings on left-libertarianism. So a reasonable question to ask, then, is just what is “left-libertarianism?”The term (as it’s being […]
By Logan Glitterbomb, Center for a Stateless Society As anarchists, we obviously reject representative democracy along with the state itself. As such, many anarchists advocate against voting in elections or even participating at all, seeing it as reinforcing and legitimizing the very system we’re fighting so hard to […]
This reminds me of when I was a teenager and rowdy fans would gather outside of venues where sports events, pro-wrestling matches, monster truck exhibitions, or rock concerts were about to begin. By Rick Rojas, Jennifer Steinhauer and Emma G. Fitzsimmons. New York Times Vehicles with Trump flags […]
By Murtaza Hussain, The Intercept In late January 2017, just weeks after Donald Trump was sworn in as commander-in-chief, U.S. troops carried out a raid in the southwestern Yemeni village of al-Ghayil that marked the start of his presidency with bloodshed. The raid, led by dozens of U.S. […]
By Caitlin Johnstone Journalist Glenn Greenwald has made major waves throughout mainstream and alternative media by resigning from The Intercept, an outlet he co-founded in 2014 with the stated mission of holding power to account with the power of unrestricted journalism. Greenwald says he resigned because Intercept editors […]
These folks, and the financial, industrial, nuclear, and technological interests with which they are aligned, are the real enemy. By Duane Norman, in Current Events Exposing MSM Lies Politics While President Trump has changed federal-level politics in this country forever, the globalist cabal has proven that they’ve been […]
Saagar Enjeti reveals his predictions for Tuesday’s election.
The most interesting part of this is Krystal’s discussion of how the neocons are planning to put Liz Cheney forward as their new “leader” and how the neocons have colonized both parties. And at one point Krystal admits that politics is now just “pro-wrestling style entertainment.” Krystal Ball […]
Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti react to the latest Coronavirus cases and discuss how it could impact voter turnout.
According to the data cited in this, “education” (which is really just a euphemism for social class) is becoming a greater fault line than race and gender. Who would’ve thought? Journalist, Zaid Jilani, weighs in on analysis of pre-election polls that show “Joe Biden gains among white voters […]
Anyone who knows the first thing about American history from 1607 to about 1975 knows that “our nation” has survived far, far, far worse than anything that is going on now.
The police statists are licking their chops at the opportunity to exercise some martial law muscle. By Julia Ainsley, NBC News Department of Homeland Security agents, including those from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, have been told to be ready to protect federal property […]
Actually, it won’t be either. It will be just like the last four years with some asshole that makes a fool of himself every time he opens his mouth with the pundit class and chattering classes experiencing apoplexy in the process.
Nothing like stating the obvious. By Alexandra Boutri, Truthout With just a few days until what is widely regarded as the most important national election in recent U.S. history, voters remain divided and polarized over what should be essentially the future of the country. Issues over racism, immigration, […]
I would strongly recommend that everyone avoid participating in election-related protests or “civil unrest.” This entire thing is a smoke and mirrors show that is being engineered by the top in order to create popular division and deflect the possibility of any kind of unified resistance to the […]
By Keith Preston I do not intend to vote in the 2020 election. I have not voted in a presidential election since I cast a ballot for the Libertarian Party’s Andre Marrou in 1992. Nor have I participated in any election since voting to re-elect Lyndon Baines Johnson’s […]
By Stefan Gleason, Money Metals Exchange The global coronavirus pandemic has accelerated several troubling trends already in force. Among them are exponential debt growth, rising dependency on government, and scaled-up central bank interventions into markets and the economy. Central bankers now appear poised to embark on their biggest […]
This happened a block from my residence. By Reed Williams, Richmond Times-Dispatch Tempers flared Sunday as a “Trump train” of cars tried to pass Lee Circle along Monument Avenue and clashed with opposing protesters, drawing a police presence that blocked off the area to traffic. Witnesses said gunshots […]
By Jeffrey Tucker, American Institute for Economic Research Every pre-modern society assigned to some group the task of bearing the burden of new pathogens. Usually, the designation of the unclean was assigned based on race, language, religion, or class. There was no mobility out of this caste. They […]
This is a fantastic interview.

Bleeding Kansas? By Arial Stark, MSN The Topeka Capital-Journal reported the man told police three people were stealing his campaign signs supporting President Trump. One gunshot victim was transported to an area hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries. Two others were taken to hospitals for treatment by private vehicle, […]
A pox on all their houses.
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley It’s early November in the dark heart of my Rust Belt swing state and I am getting dangerously close to the end of a very short rope. Or maybe it’s a lit fuse. Attached to a dangerously explosive […]
Todd Lewis is joined by Keith Preston, Swithun Dobson, and Terminal Philosophy to discuss the issue of tech censorship coming from major tech companies and the threat is poses to public discourse and why the left is singularly silent on this issue.
You’re probably aware that Disney owns Marvel and Lucasfilm, but do you really know how consolidated the American media landscape is? In this episode, we’re looking at how just five mega-corporations control the entirety of US media.
A somewhat interesting critique of Trump from a pro-ruling class perspective. The main issue is that he is perceived as weakening the foundations of globalization. To the degree that is true at all, I’d argue he is just shifting focus to other ruling class factions, the old bourgeois […]
My interpretation of the Civil War was that it was mostly a class war between Northern industrial bourgeois class capitalism and Southern agrarian gentry class quasi-feudalism over which form of slavery and imperialism would dominate the future expansionism of the USA. The Civil War involved both the Northern […]
I don’t get why transracialism can’t be a thing. There is an infinite historical lineage for people leaving one tribe to join another or converting to a new religion. Anarchists, more than anyone else, should be embracing the right to be a transracial person. What would Stirner say? […]
“Rocket engines burning fuel so fast…” If space colonization became as possible as earthly migration, it seems it would be the final death of the state with an infinite wide open frontier in which perpetual escape from the state was possible. Anthony Cuthbertson, Independent SpaceX will not recognise […]
This is a pretty good take-down of the Frumist-Kristolite faction of the neocons, which has successfully colonized the Democrats and co-opted virtually the entirety of the US “left,” but what this author is missing is the degree to which the neocons have embedded themselves in Trumpism. Perhaps there […]
I once referred to Naomi Klein as a “flake and an airhead.” I stand by my original assessment.
What is most fascinating about all of this is that it’s all make-believe. There are no existential issues involved, just pretend ones. It’s like the Zimbardo prison experiment where the participants started thinking they were guards/inmates in a real prison, or a group of cosplayers who forget that […]
The only thing I would add to what Greenwald says is that the neocons have also gained control of the Republicans/Trumpists as well. The “civil war” is really just a game of solitaire by the ruling class. Glenn Greenwald: “This is the real story of the last four […]
