Nexus X HumectressBy Celine Castronuovo, The Hill The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota on Friday announced that the FBI brought charges against a member of the far-right “Boogaloo Bois” group for organizing and participating in an effort to “incite a riot” outside a Minneapolis police precinct in […]
Listen here. Mr. Preston joined us again per a listener request to cover the subject of right wing anarchism, with many famous names coming up in the discussion such as Proudhon, Kropotkin, Tucker, Stirner, Rothbard and Junger. Keith also per listener request discussed what Friedrich Nietzsche’s ideas have […]
One thing that really annoyed me was the CHOPophobia of many on the “cold dead fingers” right-wing, including many who had been pushing secession for years. So there were a few murders and other crimes in CHOP? Big fucking deal. Like that never happens in state-controlled territory? One […]
No early bedtime for us, say the Italians. France 24 Hundreds of protesters in Naples threw projectiles at police and set rubbish bins on fire late Friday during a demonstration against coronavirus restrictions in the southern Italian city. Calls were issued on social media to challenge a curfew […]
Of all the worthless crap to pick up a gun over… By Justin Vallejo, Independent A father and son in a pickup truck waving a Trump campaign flag were shot at after honking at a Joe Biden supporter installing a Black Lives Matter sign, police allege. Douglas Kuhn, […]
Like most Americans, most English people are actually sane. By Michael Savage, The Guardian The desire to fight a “culture war” is the preserve of a small group on the political extremes that does not represent most British voters, according to a major new project on political polarisation […]
The Atlantic has a documentary out on the Alt-Right. This looks interesting, and many of the criticisms of the Alt-Right that are probably expressed in this are obviously justified, though much of it looks to be the standard right-wingophobia porn. The Project Veritas of the neoliberals. “White Noise” […]
The Legion of Decency has returned, although in “woke” rather than Catholic traditionalist form. Tech companies are simply the new Standard Oil of the 21st century.
Kyle Kulinski is usually pretty good at geopolitics and foreign policy. But he’s missing a few things here. First, the silliness of his UN apologetics is obvious enough. Also, Trump’s hawkish stance toward Iran and dovish stance toward the DPRK is not just about random personal impulses and […]
More white folks trying to instruct black folks in the “proper” way to go about being black. Kristian Williams, a left-wing anarchist hated by left-wing anarchists though not as much as yours truly, has a pretty interesting discussion of the ideas and influences of Clarence Thomas. The opening […]
The Ax, National Reformation The problem Once again, the quadrennial dog and pony show under the rubric of “elections” rolls out 3 November 2020 demonstrating the fraud of democracy. It is fraudulent because to work as intended, democracy assumes the equal ability of the voters to make decisions. […]
“Neither Trump nor Biden is a reliable realist on foreign policy, but neither one has the standard record of a hawk, either.” This is really grasping at straws here. Based on my observations of how the neocons have responded to the present political situations, it seems the neocons […]
By Dan Robitzski, Futurism In order to hold police accountable when they try to hide their identities, a growing number of activists are developing facial recognition tools that identify cops, The New York Times reports — a striking inversion of the way cops tend to use facial recognition […]
There is no one “anarchism.” There are many anarchisms, quasi-anarchisms, semi-anarchisms, proto-anarchisms, tactical anarchisms, situational anarchists, philosophical anarchisms, implicit anarchisms, anarchist cousins, etc. etc, etc. By Eric Fleischmann The terms ‘anarchist’ and ‘anarchism’ are returning to the center stage of political lingo in the twenty-first century. To quote my […]
Notice that Pakman says that most of the serious arrests were for arson and firearms, i.e. actual insurgent activity like torching perceived enemy outposts and armed expropriation of enemy goods. I have identified seven major factions in the events of the last five months, but only one of […]
Iran announced on Friday that it has sanctioned the United States’ Ambassador to Iraq Matthew Tueller and two other diplomats over their key role in carrying out acts of terror, violating the fundamental principles of human rights and imposing ‘cruel and illegal sanctions’ against the Islamic Republic.
People who give a shit about this stuff have already decided who they are going to vote for. Team Rising reacts to the final presidential debate and analyze the candidates’ performance.
Best comment from the thread: “Both candidates finally got their drug dosages right.” Krystal and Saagar dig in on the final presidential Debate, a substantive turn from the prior presidential debate.
The Third Reich were actually pioneers in modern therapeutic totalitarianism.
I can’t say I really have a problem with canceling Kant. If religion is the opium of the masses, then philosophical idealism, moral realism, and deontological ethics are the opium of the intellectuals. By Norbert Bolz, TELOS The art of scandalizing is inexhaustible. In Kant’s Anthropology, there are […]
Sometimes a movement’s entire ethos can be summarized in a single paragraph. Have you taken Social Justice as your lord and savior, brother? To be anticlerical in today’s world is not to be a critic of traditional organized religion in the vein of Bertrand Russell or Richard Dawkins. […]
Poor lost souls. This is pathetic. “If I die tomorrow, I did my duty.” Washington Post Long before Election Day, voters across the country have been lining up to cast their ballots. We sent teams of reporters and photographers to six cities — Houston, Albuquerque, Chattanooga, Sarasota, Atlanta […]
More cosplaying at protests might actually make protests more interesting. Although there is already plenty of cosplaying anyway between the Weimar reenactors, Civil War reenactors, and Rambo fetishists, and Red Guard wannabes.
By Russell Maroon Shoats/z Long before the founding of the country, Africans were transported to what later became known as the United States of America. Some came as free individuals and companions of the Europeans from Spain and elsewhere. They were ship guides, sailors, soldiers, explorers, and adventurers. […]
Sound familiar? Reminds me of Russell Means’ observation that the government’s objective is to turn the entire country into one big reservation. Time to brush up on the long history of colonizers controlling indigenous populations on reservations and through apartheid pass systems. Rockefeller Foundation and WEF’s Common Pass […]
Interestingly, Carson may despise me personally but he seems to agree with me on most substantive topics. I could have written this myself. Most of what Carson says in this essay from 2015 directly contradicts his public embrace of the totalitarian humanist paradigm. By Kevin Carson, Center for […]
Most people are not idiots, says the New York Times. By Yanna Krupnikov and John Barry Ryan, New York Times The common view of American politics today is of a clamorous divide between Democrats and Republicans, an unyielding, inevitable clash of harsh partisan polarization. But that focus obscures […]
Shelby Steele’s documentary has been banned from Amazon, and I saw where a Wall Street Journal article criticizing Amazon for this has been taken down as well.
First, the Coronavirus has so far killed no more people than a seasonal influenza. Bearing in mind the use of statistical methods bordering on the fraudulent, it may have killed fewer than seasonal flu. For this reason, the Lockdown and the obsessive social distancing have been grossly disproportionate […]
An interesting theoretical approach. By Brian D. Williams How can societies maximize equal liberty in the context of the modern sovereign state? While liberal democracy is widely recognized as the type of political regime most conducive to this goal, it fails to offer a vision of life beyond […]
By Norbert Bolz, TELOS Nietzsche once said that culture was only a thin apple peel over a glowing hot chaos. That is probably to say that even a small shock suffices to confront us anew with barbarism and dizzying stupidity. And now we are actually dealing with a […]
By Ruth Kinna There is a curious paradox at the heart of contemporary debates about the relationship between utopian and anarchist studies. While anarchistic ideas have gained some purchase in utopian studies, there is a strong anti-utopian trend in modern anarchism. What is puzzling about this paradox is […]
By Mark G.E. Kelly, TELOS In this article, I argue against the prevalent tendency, both in popular and scholarly discourse, to understand the Trump presidency as representing an incipient American fascism. I point out that Trump’s actual administration has shown no features distinctive of fascism, and that all […]
Uri Gordon Forthcoming In The Brill Companion to Anarchism and Philosophy, ed. N. Jun. Leiden: Brill (2017) Anarchists are against nationalism; everyone knows that. Instead of solidarity across borders and anti-hierarchical antagonism within them, nationalism engenders loyalty to the state with its armed forces and public symbols, encourages […]
Municipalism.Org The definition of “municipalism” is still up for grabs. If you Google the word you’ll be given a snippet from Wikipedia about “libertarian municipalism”, a compelling but very specific utopian political philosophy of Murray Bookchin. Surely “municipalism” can and should mean something more. Over the last fifty years, the percentage of people around the globe living […]
I’m not that big on the welfare statism of “Rising” but their critiques of the “let them eat cake” attitude of the ruling class are usually fairly accurate. Saagar Enjeti explains why he believes a stimulus won’t get passed.
A ruling class unity regime that squeezes out “radicals” from the Left and Right. Krystal Ball weighs in on reporting that alleges Joe Biden is vetting Republicans to serve on his cabinet.
Watch out for this guy. Contra Emma, he’s not a literal fascist but he is a right-wing plutocratic, militarist, Zionist flunkie. He represents the very worst elements of the Republicans.
What a turd.
Poor Chick-fil-A. Hated by Left and Right alike. And neither one pays much attention to the fact that Chick-fil-A is just another fast-food plantation. “Sometimes this was literal: showing that critical race theory had conquered him, the head of Chick-fil-a said every white man should shine a black […]
It must be awfully frustrating to be someone who actually believes in this stuff and engages in these torturous debates. “Should we vote for the guy who hates our guts and openly says he won’t do anything for us because the other guy bad, bad, bad…?”
A debate between Ibram X. Kendi and Coleman Hughes would be interesting.
Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic by Chalmers Johnson
