‘Woke utopia’, the end of the West & a new cult – James Lindsay interview
James Lindsay is probably the best critic of totalitarian humanism that I know of in terms of dissecting its intellectual roots and orientation. Lindsay is not a “conservative” but a Dawkinsesque atheist and a standard-issue progressive who considers the Scandinavian countries to be model societies. The main difference […]
Noam Chomsky On Political Correctness
It’s hard to believe the guy who wrote “Manufacturing Consent” and “Necessary Illusions” could be so blinkered. This is a completely clueless conversation that was painful to listen to. It basically amounts to Chomsky, Sam Sedar, and Nomiki Konst claiming that PC culture is merely about being nice […]
An Ex-Liberal Reluctantly Supports Trump
The fellow being profiled in this, historian Fred Siegel, is fairly insightful when he describes the present political conflict as pitting the tech-oligarch/financier/”new clerisy alliance” against the “old bourgeoisie.” Although he’s obviously clueless on certain other things, such as the wider geopolitical and socioeconomic context in which all […]
A Civil War is Still a Long Way Off
A friend on my page asked an important question. “A while ago you were dismissive of the hype around a pending civil war, and you argued persuasively that the USA was one of the most stable countries, and even if it became more unstable, it would still be […]

AOC, Progressives Draw A Corporate Red Line For Biden Appointees

Eyewitnesses Undermine Law Enforcement Narrative About Slain ANTIFA Activist

Why Is Wokeness Winning?
By Andrew Sullivan, The Weekly Dish A question I’ve wrestled with this past year or so is a pretty basic one: if critical race/gender/queer theory is unfalsifiable postmodern claptrap, as I have long contended, how has it conquered so many institutions so swiftly? It’s been a staggering achievement, […]

Michigan Governor: Trump incites domestic terrorism
https://media.urmedium.com/ConvertedVideo/2020/10/19/637387032644845778video.mp4 Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who the FBI says was targeted in a foiled kidnapping plot, on Sunday accused President Donald Trump of fanning the flames of domestic terrorism when he didn’t put a stop to chants of “lock her up!” that erupted the day before during a […]
Stepping Back from the Brink
A good discussion of the present situation by fourth-generation warfare theorist Bill Lind. As the discussion thread following this article indicates, more and more I am seeing people on “both sides” (although there are actually dozens of “sides”) saying of their opponents, “But they want to kill us!” […]
What Really Caused the Violence of Partition?
Inter-tribal warfare is really not a good plan. By Guneeta Singh Bhalla, The Diplomat “I still don’t know what happened,” remarks Ranjit Kaur toward the end of our interview. “Why did we have to move?” she softly asks, staring at me, then through me, as her voice trailed […]
Decentralized Economic Coordination: Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom
By Kevin Carson, Center for a Stateless Society The calculation problem, as stated by Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek, has been central to most libertarian arguments against non-market or non-price forms of economic coordination.

Why 4,998 died in U.S. jails without getting their day in court
The U.S. government collects detailed data on who’s dying in which jails around the country – but won’t let anyone see it. So, Reuters conducted its own tally of fatalities in America’s biggest jails, pinpointing where suicide, botched healthcare and bad jailkeeping are claiming lives in a system […]
Gretchen Whitmer Goes Boogaloo Catfishing
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley The news broke like something straight out of a cheesy 90s blockbuster. Whisked away to an undisclosed location, we were greeted in primetime by the Democratic governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer, like a heavily Botoxed Bill Pullman commanding […]

The Rise and Decline of the State
This book is essential reading for anyone who is interested in anti-state thought. The state, which since the middle of the seventeenth century has been the most important of all modern institutions, is in decline. From Western Europe to Africa, many existing states are either combining into larger […]
How Could Everyday People Stop a Coup?
My take on the present situation is both presidential tickets are (roughly) equally dangerous. Trump is a narcissist and a megalomaniac but so are most politicians. What is most dangerous about him is his complete fealty to the KSA, UAE, and the state with whom the US has […]
Is Civil War on the Way?
It seems inconceivable that some people are actually preparing for civil war over Donald Trump.
Resist Everything Except Temptation

Where Do You Want to Live: Red State or Blue State?
I would prefer neither as both are rapidly becoming corporate fiefdoms which is part of the reason why I am an anarchist. Nor do I see any need to take advice from some neoliberal mouthpiece and neocon stooge like Stephen Moore. We’re supposed to be the United States […]
They Say Scandinavia But They Mean Venezuela
Whenever I am reflecting on how many total idiots can be found on the Left, in order to maintain a sense of balance, I find it helpful to watch a Prager U video in order to be reminded of the vast numbers of complete morons on the Right. […]
The Town That Went Feral
But AR libertarians would side with the bears. As a moral skeptic, the argument I have often made to moral realists/objectivists is that “bad people” (for example, serial killers) are no different than wild animals like bears that attack people in the words. Is it necessary to defend […]
The New Jacobinism: America as Revolutionary State
A must-read for those who want to understand the ideological framework of US foreign policy.

America the Virtuous: The Crisis of Democracy and the Quest for Empire
Claes Ryn on the enemies of mankind, some of whom and their proteges and offspring are still around.

Why unarmed revolutions topple some dictators but not others
Most revolutions result in dictatorships that are more authoritarian and repressive than whatever they replaced. The partial exception is those revolutions that are merely about the dispersal of power. Revolutions that are about the far-reaching transformation of societies almost always produce horrific results. The models of a revolution […]
Pelosi proposes experts review a president’s mental fitness under 25th Amendment
What Pelosi is proposing amounts to creating a committee for the purpose of granting the therapeutic state the power to remove the president from office. The next step would be a committee that approves the “mental health” (ideological conformity) of candidates for public offices. ABC News House Democrats, […]
Pass an Anti-Racist Constitutional Amendment
I have long argued that the end-game of the “politically correct” crowd is a full-blown totalitarian state comparable to fascism and communism. This article is an example. Ibram X. Kendi is an influential figure in the “social justice” movement. The essence of what he is proposing here amounts […]
Not Left vs. Right, But Top-Down vs. Bottom-Up
One thing I have noticed is that folks on the left who like me claim me as one of their own, as do folks on the right, while those on the left who don’t like me say I’m on the other team, as do those on the right. […]
Managing harmful conspiracy theories on YouTube

Davos Anarchism?
From a social media post: “Here’s the thing about Antifa. They are basically working on behalf of globalist oligarchs and they don’t even know it. They’re allowed to run rampant because the milquetoast left thinks that doing so will help get rid of Trump, one of the last […]
What Is Anarchism?
NPR anarchism. Next up: Starbuck’s anarchism. By Michelle Harvin, National Public Radio We’re hearing more about anarchy, especially where President Donald Trump is concerned.

New Study Pegs COVID-19 Crisis Costs at $16 Trillion—So Far
Reasonable people typically understand that multiple values of parallel importance can co-exist at the same time and that a sensible approach to value conflicts is to make reasonable tradeoffs. Preventing the spread of a serious illness is a value. Preventing an economic meltdown is a value. Preventing government […]
The State of What Passes for Radical Politics in America
A reader offers the following observations concerning “alternative” politics in the US at present. I’ve been thinking recently about the state of what passes for radical politics in America, particularly in the context of third parties and the potential for pan-secessionism. The handful of relevant third parties in […]
Taliban ‘Endorses’ Trump??
It is interesting how whenever Trump shows even a hint of non-interventionism, the rest of the ruling class pounces on him.
US Declares Full ECONOMIC WAR On Iran
Trump’s antagonistic stance toward Iran, which is driven by his relationship with Israel and Saudi Arabia, is one of the worst aspects of his administration, along with his abrogation of the INF treaty with Russia and his wink and a nod to Erdogan.
