How Ernst Jünger predicted the ubiquity of masks. By Thomas Crew The Critic Huxley’s Brave New World (1932) has Alphas, Betas, and Epsilon Semi-Morons – genetically engineered classes with uniform clothing and uniform opinions. Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four (1948) has the Thought Police and Newspeak. While Zamyatin’s We (1921) […]

Lind Traditional Right The September 2020 issue of the Marine Corps Gazette announced a series of articles titled The Maneuverist Papers and offers the first, “Marine Corps Maneuver Warfare: The Historical Context,” by “Marinus”, whose initials I suspect are […]
It’s Going Down There is a growing consensus across mainstream political and media circles that Trump will contest the upcoming 2020 election and throw the United States into a Constitutional – and potentially violent crisis – in order to hold on to power. But what does this potential […]
The tribal civil war is about to intensify. Btw, if anyone thinks Old Hag Ruthie was a friend of freedom, liberty, rights, etc, then check out the Bennis v. Michigan case. By Russell Berman The Atlantic A furious battle over a Supreme Court vacancy is arguably the last […]
Leftists who favor censorship are ultimately digging their own grave. Look for the Western elites to increasingly try to impose the Chinese model of Internet censorship in the future.
That Jerry. Still the same party animal he was 40 years ago. You haven’t seen wild living until you’ve been an evangelical. People Becki Falwell reportedly told police that her husband Jerry Falwell Jr. said he fell down the stairs and was bleeding “a lot.” READ MORE

Oh, please. What about all the kids who are homeschooled for their entire K-12 education and then go straight to college? By Dan Sinker Esquire “Are you muted?” The first thing my five-year-old learned in kindergarten, set up at a tiny desk in the corner of our dining […]
By Paul Gottfried Intellectual Takeout Last week the Cotto-Gottfried podcast interviewed New York financier and widely read blogger Adam Townsend. He strongly believes Biden will win the presidential race. Townsend did not seem to relish his analysis and kept returning to this desperate defense of the president: “For […]
I disagree with aspects of the ideological flavor reflected in this article. But its core thesis seems to be cogent enough. A multi-dimensional insurrection (consisting of distinct but overlapping sectors such as the lumpenproletariat, middle-class radicals, ordinary hooligans, the far left, and sectors of the far right) is […]
Another battle royale is coming. CBS News Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died at the age of 87 from complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer.

There are more Americans who have a criminal record than Americans who have a dog. Awesome. By Matthew Friedman Brennan Center The number of Americans with a criminal history has risen sharply over the past three decades. Today, nearly one-third of the adult working age population has a […]
The ever-expanding police state. By J.D. Tuccille Reason With the crime rate continuing its decades-long slide, why are arrests way up? The answer matters, because arrest records—and subsequent convictions—tend to cast a shadow, limiting people’s options and reducing their income for the rest of their lives. That is, […]
Criminals are the largest and most oppressed of all minorities. Crime Power Forever! Jo Craven McGinty Wall Street Journal Pop quiz: How many American adults have a criminal history? a) 5% b) 15% c) 30% It’s often reported that nearly 1 in 3 American adults, or about 30%, […]
By Izzie Ramirez Refinery 29 On Monday, a nurse at a private immigration detention center in Georgia came forward about a range of dangerous medical practices at a U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. According to her, the center has not only ignored COVID-19 protocols, but is […]
An ex-skinhead discusses how to combat “hate.” While most if not all “far-right” groups would fail to create a better society than the one we have now, a problem with the “anti-hate” outlook is that it is only focused on illiberal forms of “hate.” Left-wing extremism, no matter […]
This would hardly be unprecedented.
Ain’t gonna happen. The Republicans are completely in thrall to the armaments industries, petroleum industry, the Israel Lobby, and the Saudi Lobby. The Christian Zionists are their most loyal voting block. For the Republicans, Washington, DC is basically just West Tel Aviv or West Riyadh.
Maverick capitalist Nick Hanauer explains how the economy really works. By Nick Hanauer and David M. Rolf ike many of the virus’s hardest hit victims, the United States went into the COVID-19 pandemic wracked by preexisting conditions. A fraying public health infrastructure, inadequate medical supplies, an employer-based health […]
This is what our “antifascists” need to be focused on, not the shenanigans of some carnival barker like Trump. Wrench in the Gears I asked this question on social media today and got quite a few very thoughtful replies. One person asked me what led me to ask […]
The money quote: Because most Americans are self-centered and unconcerned about brown people in other nations, it’s ridiculous yet necessary to remind you that the Afghans we bomb are real people like you and me, that Iraqis are scarred for life when their children are hobbled by American […]
By Caitlin Johnstone Medium Whenever I criticize the foreign policy of the current US administration, I always get some pushback from Trump supporters who insist that this president is doing more good than harm by “fighting the Deep State” and, even more commonly, by “keeping us out of […]
By Derek Davison and Alex Thurston The Jacobin The liberal establishment is desperate to return a centrist to the White House in November and reestablish the country’s more stable military dominance of the world order, disrupted only briefly by Donald Trump. Joe Biden’s terrible track record on foreign […]
By Caitlin Johnstone People who dislike Trump are often reluctant to talk about this, but it looks likely that a Biden administration would be more warlike than its predecessor. In a recent interview with US Department of Defense newspaper Stars and Stripes, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said […]
Transracialism is apparently becoming a thing. So be it. By Kaelan Deese The Hill A University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) graduate student resigned from a teaching position after they admitted on social media to falsely claiming to be a person of color. CV Vitolo-Haddad apologized for the claims in […]
These folks who travel from city to city for the purpose of escalating left/right conflict need to stay at home and mind their own business. If all of the different political factions worked toward the purpose of turning their local communities into their ideal model of a startup […]
I can’t really see any principled objection to firebombing police cars (enemy military vehicles). The problem that I have with both conservative anti-protestors like Saager Enjeti and Tim Pool or liberal pro-protestors like Krystal Ball and Kyle Kulinski is that they all believe in the fundamental legitimacy of […]
The pandemic has done wonders for expanding class divisions and further centralization of wealth control. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti break down the latest unemployment numbers, and how they have been steadily decreasing since April. Infographics on the distribution of wealth in America, highlighting both the inequality and […]
There is a little too much “law talk” in this segment for my tastes. The ideal situation would be for the center-right, center-left, far-right, and far-left to fight, both in the electoral system/political institutions and in the streets, to the point that none of these can achieve anything […]
The true power elite is likely to say otherwise. Trump’s ego notwithstanding, US presidents are merely managers, not dictators. By Andrew Solender Forbes President Trump said Saturday that he plans to “negotiate” to run again in 2024 if he wins reelection in November, his latest in a series […]
The Soviet analogy really isn’t appropriate. Neoliberals are proponents of globalized technocratic state-capitalism, which uses feminism and multiculturalism to meet its human resources needs and construct a self-legitimating ideology. That has nothing to do with Communism.
By Yascha Mounk The Atlantic In normal times, it would seem outlandish to worry that an American president might refuse to concede defeat upon losing his bid for reelection. This year it is not. Even though he won in 2016, Donald Trump falsely claimed that he was the […]
By Aimee Ortiz New York Times Official misconduct played a role in the criminal convictions of more than half of innocent people who were later exonerated, according to a new report by a registry that tracks wrongful convictions.

By Catherine Garcia The Week During a phone call last week with federal prosecutors, Attorney General William Barr said they should consider charging anyone who committed a violent crime during recent protests with sedition, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal and The New York […]
By Gary Saul Morson First Things Between 1900 and 1917, waves of unprecedented terror struck Russia. Several parties professing incompatible ideologies competed (and cooperated) in causing havoc. Between 1905 and 1907, nearly 4,500 government officials and about as many private individuals were killed or injured. Between 1908 and […]
By Ivan Eland The American Conservative n Bob Woodward’s book Rage, the author quotes President Trump as claiming that he “saved” de facto Saudi ruler Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) after the assassination and dismemberment of Washington Post writer Jamal Khashoggi. Trump reportedly said, “I was able to get […]
This is a fairly nuanced discussion of BLM from a right-libertarian perspective. The gist of the discussion is that it is necessary to distinguish between the BLM movement and the organization bearing its name. By Brad Polumbo Foundation for Economic Education On Monday night, Terry Crews was grilled […]
“Our senile guy can’t perform for hours on a livestream debate with a host who will ask serious questions and a merciless opponent. Let’s attack the host!” Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti react to Sunny Hostin’s comments against a Joe Rogan moderated debate between Trump and Joe Biden.
The objective of MSDNC is to ensure that the neoliberal/neocon alliance maintains permanent rule while deflecting mavericks, loose cannons, and dissidents from both sides. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti react to the MSNBC report that makes excuses for Biden’s poor performance with Hispanic and Latinx voters, especially in […]

Imagine that. The Gulf States and Israel are merely state-guaranteed export markets for US arms manufacturers and economic colonies for US petroleum companies underwritten by the US taxpayers.
