Nexus X HumectressTwo of the world’s shittiest countries realize they can become even bigger dickheads by joining forces. Middle East Monitor The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel are working on a plan to establish a spy base in the Yemeni Island of Socotra, according to JForum, the official sites […]
Sounds like discrimination against transracial people. By Joelle Goldstein People Jessica Krug, the white professor at George Washington University (GWU) who admitted to pretending to be Black throughout her adult life, has resigned from her position. In a tweet from GWU on Wednesday, the school announced that Krug’s […]
It’s a term you’ve probably heard a lot. Late Stage Capitalism. People use it to describe the absurdities and wild inequalities of the world today. But what is it exactly, and are we really living in it? And if so, what comes next?
The way this writer describes how each century seems to give rise to a major empire which then expires during the following century is interesting. Since the rise of Western hegemony, it was Portugal, followed by Spain, then Holland, France, England, and now America.
This book is a must-read or anyone who is interested in how the modern American police state developed. This was originally published in the mid-1990s and describes how drug prohibition has been used as a smokescreen for the development of a large and intense as police state as […]
This book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in anti-globalization movements. The most important political question in the 21st century is how do we fight globalization without erecting repeats of 20th-century tyrannies like Communism, Nazism, and Islamism, or merely creating an endless series of chaostic failed […]
Class conflict on the local level.
Derrick Broze actually shows up in this and talks sense to these voting-mongers.
“Please, please, vote for me!”-Donald Trump
So FOX is posing as the antiwar channel now? Except for when the beneficiaries are Israel and Saudi Arabia, of course.
Why would anyone expect any different?
Are Latinos going to be the new “white ethnics?”
A study conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2006. Virtually all research on this topic shows that those who don’t vote are most likely to come from disadvantaged sectors and that they don’t vote because they know there is nothing in it for them. “Liberal democracy” is […]
What I find most interesting about this piece is how it illustrates that the various factions of the “Left” and “Right,” broadly defined, not only have different philosophies and political preferences but different realities as well. Can people who have totally different ideas on what reality even is […]
Listen here. Episode 368 welcomes back Ian Mayes to have a chat with Skyler on the following topics: working in the neighborhood where George Floyd was killed; his experience with the Minneapolis protests and riots; Kyle Rittenhouse; lockdown created tinderbox across the country and world; Minneapolis “defund the […]
The mindcrime liberty show is joined with guest Keith Preston to discuss the topic of whether free state healthcare and education increased the cause of freedom. Two of the biggest areas where state power has grown is in the fields of education and healthcare both of which have […]
It would certainly seem that way.
In an ideal situation, right-wing vigilantes would provide protection to residential neighborhoods, mom and pop shops, and the general public, while left-wing vigilantes burned down police stations and the lumpenproletariat looted Wal-Mart. But I’ve noticed that many situations tend to be less than ideal.
All of this intra-ruling class intrigue is hilarious. It reminds me of the Medici of the Italian Renaissance era, although the Medici were classier and more stylish.
A heel vs heel match brewing. I have no problem with Portland being a far-left micronation.
Instead of “workers of the world, unite!” it’s “mom’s basement dwellers of the world, unite!”
I would have no problem with Rhode Island being a “progressive” micronation just as I would have no problem with CHAZ being a left-anarchist micronation or rural Pennsylvania being an Amish micronation.
But is the traditional labor union model capable of being replicated in a modern economy where labor is transient and capital is global? We are no longer in a world of company towns with life-long employees of a family-based national bourgeoisie.
Obviously. But are there any politicians who are not mediocre? Maybe a few here and there like Jill Stein, Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader, Mike Gravel, Jesse Ventura, Ron Paul, Tulsi Gabbard, Andrew Yang, and others on the margins. But “successful” politicians are mediocrities and scumbags almost to a […]
Have you written your letter to Santa, kids?
My respect for Trump would increase significantly if this story were true, but I suspect it’s probably just neocon/deep state/kept media-generated propaganda. I hope I’m wrong. Trump is a scumbag but the neocons are even bigger scumbags.
Most of the violence has probably been instigated by Antifa, right-wing extremists, ordinary criminals, sports rioter-types, and cops. But the real problem is not that too many police stations have burned but too few. By Sanya Mansoor Time The vast majority of Black Lives Matter protests—more than 93%—have […]
By Rukmini Callimachi New York Times LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Breonna Taylor had just done four overnight shifts at the hospital where she worked as an emergency room technician. To let off some steam, she and her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, planned a date night: dinner at a steakhouse, followed […]
By Troy Southgate I am not in favour of political correctness, but changing the way we use certain terminology will occasionally have a more positive effect. Take the term ‘invalid,’ for example. Whilst the word has long been used to describe people who require some form of physical […]
One thing that is particularly concerning is the way that many critics of “wokeness” (totalitarian humanism, which is the manifestation of postmodern critical theory) have embraced Trumpism (e.g. this #Walkaway movement) or, even worse, drifted toward the neocons (like the circle around David Rubin). Of course, equally pathetic […]
Styx is regrettably demonstrating that he doesn’t know the first thing about the actual condition of the economy. We are currently experiencing the Latin Americanization of the US economy, and the economies of the developed world are experiencing re-feudalization. This a process that transcends ordinary partisan or ideological […]
Milquetoast social democrat David Pakman pumps up police state uber-bitch Kamala Harris merely because she knows how to talk, even if she’s telling lies every time she opens her mouth.
Trump is the epitome of the broken clock that happens to be right twice a day. It’s pathetic that ostensible “left-wingers” like The Young Turks are coming to the defense of the late warmonger John McCain.
This is a pretty good summary of where postmodern critical theorists stand in relation to the rest of the Left. By Helen Pluckrose I find it very odd when people keep telling me that “the left” is doing something bad with regard to wokeness and applied postmodernism when […]
This is a pretty good illustration of how industrial/managerial capitalism has undergone the transition to financial/digital capitalism. Benjamin Tucker demonstrated over century ago how to go about attacking all of this. Attack patent, copyright, and intellectual property law. Attack the currency monopoly and the centralization of control over […]
In other news, Americans also believe the grass is green and the sky is blue.
Build the Alliance of 100 Million! Boycott the System! Let’s give the power elite the Ceausescu treatment.
The Democrats are the party of the financial elites and tech-oligarchs, with the professional-managerial class and their primary constituents, and the Republicans of the part of old capitalism, with the with post-bourgeois proletariat (the dying working to middle classes) as their primary constituents. The kind of old-fashioned 19th/20th […]
As I have said many times, partisanship and/or culture war politics is merely a manufactured effort by the power elite to obfuscate any recognition of either class oppression or state repression. The conflicts over cultural and social questions are real in the sense of US society being divided […]
You don’t understand anarchist economics until you have read David Graeber and Kevin Carson. By Kevin Carson Center for a Stateless Society It’s conventional to start an obituary article with a brief biographical summary, so here it is.
Todd Lewis is joined by Keith Preston, Swithun Dobson, and Terminal Philosophy to discuss the 2020 US election. Will power be peacefully transferred or will the break down?
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Joseph Biden killed the liberal social justice warrior with a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger at the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee, and blue lives were called in to matter, and his weapon took […]
Tom Woods interviews James Lindsay. Academia, media, science, and technology are the new theocracy. Listen here. James Lindsay joins me to discuss postmodernism, critical theory, and the various fields — like “queer studies,” “disabled studies” and the like — that have made academia into a minefield of untouchable […]
