Nexus X HumectressBy Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley As surely as the moon wanes and the dead leaves tumble, once every fourth October, it becomes downright chilling to be an American. That’s because every four years, like clockwork, Americans prove every flamboyant third world boogeyman we’ve […]
This is hilarious. The Washington Post, the voice of the deep state/neocon/tech-oligarch/totalitarian humanist alliance, claims their guy should be able to win without bothering to actually compete with other candidates. By Paul Waldman Washington Post If you had to pinpoint when third parties reached the height of their […]
I recently came across this apparently new group. Ethical Principles of the International Panarchist Federation (IPF): 1. IPF rejects coercive proposals which advocate a single specific political and economic system to the exclusion of all others in a given territory. Instead, IPF proposes a new international order founded […]
An interesting proto-type for a kind of minarchist/quasi-panarchist constitution. Clearly, a better system than the present system, and perhaps one that might be a reasonable compromise between anarchists, minarchists, panarchists, and statists.
At present, the rising forces of totalitarian humanism and digital capitalism have formed an alliance with the neocons and deep state in order to weaponize the left against the Trumpists. Once the Trumpists are defeated, the rising ruling class will purge the left and suppress the actual lumpenproletariat […]
What is happening nowadays is more like a situation analogous to the colonists engaging in a very low grade civil over which royal dynasty is the proper successor to the throne, with different royal houses having their own peasant constituencies that they incite against each other, and with […]
The only possible reason why anyone should get near anything remotely resembling a ballot or a voting booth. By Adrian Moore Reason Foundation As public opinion on drug policy has evolved, changes to drug policy have been put on state ballots more frequently in recent years. This is […]
Press TV/URmedium US President Donald Trump is doing “very well” in hospital after his Covid-19 diagnosis, his doctors say, but their account has been disputed. https://media.urmedium.com/video/2020/10/04/637373976379928826video.mp4
Todd Lewis joined by Keith Preston, Logos, and Terminal Philosophy to discuss the future of the GOP.
This is a fascinating discussion about a wide range of topics with much more substance that this dumbass election.
It’s Going Down throws in their two cents worth. Listen to their original podcast here. My assessment follows. By Keith Preston As for my assessment of the IGD podcast, I agree that if the election is close, what mainstream political scientists call a “constitutional crisis” is likely to […]
He’s Tricky Dicky, redux. Only less Tricky. By Keith Preston I don’t spend a lot of time on Trump-bashing because TrumpHate, Inc. is a Fortune 500 corporation at this point. But my assessment of Trump is and always has been that Trump is a neo-Nixonian, a liberal Republican […]
“And now that the nightmare of our propaganda-soaked techno-fascist stage of late capitalism is finally visible to most (although surely more deadly to the poor), I have to ask the lockdown enthusiasts: What will it take?
What we essentially have going on now is a low-intensity civil war between neo-Nixonians and totalitarian humanists with the actual lumpenproletariat being a wild card that sometimes acts as a third force. Oh boy, here we go. Inb4 “libtard” comments, I am more anti-government than you. 🙂
Actually, some of both. A social media commenter makes the following observation, although to be fair there have indeed been some burnings of police stations. “This is my problem with the mainstream western so-called ‘left’ these days. These white anarcho-kids can get masses of people out in the […]
By David Adler Quillette Simon Leys was perhaps the pre-eminent Western chronicler of Mao’s Cultural Revolution, and it is worth returning to his work for its vivid first-hand accounts of life in Beijing during this period. But Leys was also interested in the process by which, under the […]
A friend writes: “I don’t think I’ve experienced anything as mean spirited and WWE level moronic as our current Manichean political milieu. Herd/tribal mentality not only really does function as an equivalent to an actual brain lobotomy, but it also seems to bring out (with the help of […]
Would a civilian get away with it? If not, then there is one law for the peasants and one for the king’s knights. By Will Wright, Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs and John Eligon New York Times Two very different accounts emerged on Friday from either side of an apartment door […]
By Nancy Rommelman Reason Erin Smith was at a GOP election watch party at Twitter headquarters in San Francisco on November 8, 2016. For the one-time deputy vice chair of communications for the city Republication Party, it should have been a time of jubilation. “As soon as they […]
By Troy Southgate If I had a penny for each time that I’ve been forced to roll up my trouser legs and wade through the congealed sludge of human ignorance, I’d have accumulated a small fortune by now. Yesterday I had the unfortunate pleasure to witness a clip […]
By Caitlin Johnstone Medium Well. Wow. I mean, wow. So in case you missed it, the first US presidential debate was everything the US empire deserves and a fair reflection of everything the US empire is. If Vladimir Putin were every bit the election-meddling demon the Democrats say […]
What Krystal and Saager are not getting is that China is a test market for techno-fascist authoritarianism of the kind that the forces of totalitarian humanism want to bring to the West. Hong Kong is a test market for a future purge of protest movements in the US. […]
This just keeps getting better.
Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss the potential impacts of the President and First Lady testing positive for Coronavirus, especially this close to election day.
Marianne was my second favorite candidate in the primaries, after Tulsi. Liberal and left opinion regards Trump as an incipient fascist. Conservative and right-wing opinion regards Trump as an incipient Bolshevik. Both are focused on Biden’s obvious senility. Though I think all of these are missing some of […]
It is certainly interesting that both parties are accusing the other of trying to steal the election. They’re both probably right. I suspect there will be violence associated with the election regardless of who the winner is. By Newt Gingrich Newsweek Make no mistake: Voter fraud is real. […]
One thing that the supposedly anti-imperialist left has never come to terms with is that the Civil War was the cornerstone of the building of the American empire. By Stratton J. Davis While being perhaps the most famous war in America History, the Civil War is one of […]
It’s Going Down. Correction: On the opening to this podcast, it states that Trump said “stand down and stand by,” which in reality Trump stated “stand back and stand by.” The first debate between the ruling corporate parties has now come and gone, with even the mainstream media […]
On the other hand, a lot of white supremacist groups probably wouldn’t exist without all the moles in their ranks who keep their membership going. By Alice Speri The Intercept The FBI has long been concerned about the infiltration of law enforcement by white supremacist groups and its […]
If there is one truism about Americans, it is that Americans do everything half-assed. American fascists are half-assed fascists. American communists are half-assed communists. American religious fundamentalists are half-assed fundamentalists. American anarchists are half-assed anarchists. Groups like Antifa or BLM are rookie leaguers compared to insurrectionary groups in […]
This is the worst nightmare of the ruling class, the far-left, and the far-right combined, which makes it a very good thing. By Jessica Chasmar Washington Times Local leaders of the right-wing group Proud Boys in Salt Lake City held a joint news conference with a local Black […]
This is an interesting essay that makes the far-left case against Trump as an incipient dictator. This article is not without nuance, although my view of Trump is the one that I have always had, which is that Trump is a neo-Nixonian, a liberal Republican with a right-wing […]
Armenia and Azerbaijan’s leaders are resisting growing international pressure to end their conflict over the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh. French President Emmanuel Macron said Turkey’s “warlike” rhetoric was encouraging Azerbaijan to reconquer Nagorno-Karabakh. Macron and Russian President Vladimir Putin have joined calls for a ceasefire as civilian and […]
The ruling class has used the pandemic as a pretext for escalating the class war. HuffPost senior reporter, Zach Carter, breaks down the latest economic response to the pandemic. He also discusses the unequal economic toll coronavirus has had on Americans.
The ruling class has its preferred ventriloquist dummy. Saagar Enjeti reacts to the latest reports surrounding the Chamber of Commerce and how this impacts Republican politics.
This is pretty good. Krystal Ball discusses the impacts of late-stage capitalism and how Donald Trump is not cut from the same cloth as dictators.
The ruling class fiddles while the empire burns. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti break down the latest jobs report numbers and the impact this may have on Americans.
A lack of interest in this nonsense is a good thing. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss the potential changes to the presidential debate format and how Tuesday’s ratings compared to 2016.
If “winning” the freakshow of a debate means motivating more people to vote for you, then Biden probably “won.” “I’m a senile old fool but at least I’m not…him.”
CBS News Do you own a gun? Would you ever consider owning one? The United States is split into thirds on that subject. Just under 30% of American adults currently own a gun. A little more than a third say they might own one in the future, and the […]
By Jesse Walker Reason Maroon Nation: A History of Revolutionary Haiti, by Johnhenry Gonzalez, Yale University Press, 302 pages, $40 “In media and popular consciousness, Haiti has become identified with hunger,” Johnhenry Gonzalez observes in Maroon Nation. But in the 19th century, after the revolution that drove out the […]
A critic of ATS says, “Attack the System with Keith Preston…is a Red-Brown alliance.” To that, I would say, “More like a Crayola alliance.”
Trump’s WWE experience definitely shows. And Biden is rapidly forgetting how to talk. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss the presidential debate as well as the impact it may have had, if any, on potential voters.
By Tom Gash Wired Prisons have become the dominant symbol of punishment in modern democracies. But they are expensive and fundamentally don’t work. In 2020 we will be exploring ways to use technology to create virtual prisons that could eventually replace the bricks-and-mortar type. The opportunities, both for […]
This article amounts to a plan to create a one-party state. Not that I would miss the Republicans if they were permanently marginalized, but shutting the right-wing out of the electoral process altogether is likely to generate some other less than pleasant consequences. By Ian Millhise Vox The […]
The moment of the moron has arrived. Chris Wallace sounds like a school teacher calling down a couple of bratty kids. “As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain […]
Apparently, this is a meme that is circulating in commie circles with some saying it is brilliant branding and others saying, “Yikes! Nationalism!” LOL
