Nexus X Humectress“Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho, Statuephobia Has Got to Go!”
I would have been the weird guy who wanted to preserve statues of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Saddam Hussein. Ever seen Saddam Hussein’s Ba’ath Party purge video? That’s pure “Godfather.”

Kanye West 2020, Biden’s VP, & Will Trump Drop Out?
Not that I take any of this shit seriously, but I’d like to see Kanye enter the race, pick Kim as his running mate, and beat both Trump and Biden hands down in the election.
Ross Douthat & The Woke Corporate Consensus
Some actual commies discuss how the capitalist class is co-opting the protest movement.
Matt Taibbi DISMANTLES woke corporate race book ‘White Fragility’
This discussion nails it. Robin D’Angelo gets paid $12,000 per session to give a two-hour lecture to corporate employees on “anti-racism” so that corporations so pose as do-gooders while continuing to grind down the working class.
Ohio City Offers to Accept Removed Statues, Including Columbus
LOL. “Statue Sanctuary Cities.” It had to happen. By Emily Czachor Newsweek A northeast Ohio city has offered to accept statues that have been removed from other areas of the United States due to their controversial ties. READ MORE
An Economist Looks at 90: Tom Sowell on Charter Schools and Their Enemies
This is an interesting discussion of education.
Joe Rogan Experience #1501 – James Lindsay
James Lindsay is arguably the best critic of the modern totalitarian left there is. This lays it all out pretty well.
This Land is Your Land?
When I was a kid we used to sing a variation of “This Land is Your Land” with the revised lyrics: “The land ain’t your land/this is my land/I got a shotgun/And you ain’t got one/I’ll blow your head off/If you don’t move off/This land is private property.”
Dr. Fauci Warns Of Needless Suffering And Death If America Allowed To Continue
Once again, The Onion proves to be the most accurate news source. The Onion WASHINGTON—Emphasizing the dire consequences should the sovereign nation remain in existence, NIAID director Dr. Anthony Fauci warned the public Tuesday of needless suffering and death if America were allowed to continue. “Let me be […]

The Stonewall Blues (Still Dreaming of a Queer Nation)
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Exile in Happy Valley I should be such a happy Queer, shouldn’t I? At least that’s what I’m told. After all, aren’t all the other Queer folks just so goddamn happy? The ones on TV certainly appear to be, and even the ones […]
Prominent Conservative Thinks Republicans Will Be ‘Hunted’ Under Biden
I am increasingly coming across this kind of rhetoric from both Red Tribe and Blue Tribe partisans: “They want to kill us!” Does the US have an Iraqi, Yugoslavian, Rwandan, Northern Irish, Lebanese, or India/Pakistan future awaiting?
America Can’t Take Another Four Years of This Lethal Idiot
The Red Tribe and Blue Tribe increasingly view each other as existential enemies. By Umair Haque Eudaimonia I’m going to say something that you probably already know. Another four years of this — the dystopia America’s become under Donald Trump — is unthinkable and nightmarish. Like I said, […]
What If Black America Were a Country?
This is some interesting data. If “Black America” were a country, it would be the 31st largest nation in the world per population size, roughly comparable to England, Canada, Mexico, Japan, or Iraq. “Black America” would be 46th in income per capita, between Italy, the UAE, Russia, and […]
Racist Police Violence Reconsidered
By John McWhorter Quillette Tony Timpa was 32 years old when he died at the hands of the Dallas police in August 2016. He suffered from mental health difficulties and was unarmed. He wasn’t resisting arrest. He had called the cops from a parking lot while intoxicated because […]
Joe Rogan Experience #1494 – Bret Weinstein
Bret Weinstein is far, far more centrist than I am, but this interview is worth watching. His characterization of the critical theory left as “neo-Maoist” and how the anarchist left has been overrun by them is spot on. What we need is a “Maoism-free” anarchist movement that also […]
As It Should Be…
Now, this is more like it. Black and white, left and right, marching with guns is how you scare the piss out of the ruling class. PHOTOS: Today armed Black Lives Matter and “boogaloo” protesters joined forces for an open carry rally against police violence and government overreach […]
Preacher Enters The Nation Of CHAZ & Is Assaulted And Robbed
Kicking out the missionaries is something the CHAZians and the Sentinentalese Islanders have in common, I guess.
Dare to Keep Cops Off Guns
Facebook is out of control. If it were a country it would be North Korea
The important takeaway from this article is that it describes how Big Tech has now become the dominant wing of the capitalist class, as Joel Kotkin has pointed out (along with the national security state and financial sector). The ruling class is not a unified monolith, but comprised […]
‘We’ve got to do something’: Republican rebels come together to take on Trump
The Republican wing of the Neoliberal Centrist Party attacks the Trumpists. By Daniel Strauss The Guardian Just like in 2016, a faction of the Republican party has emerged to try to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election.But unlike the last presidential race, where the effort never […]
Kanye West Announces 2020 Presidential Run
By Sharareh Drury Hollywood Reporter Kanye West announced on the Fourth of July that he plans to run for president in 2020 — potentially to make good on a promise he made five years before during the 2015 MTV VMAs. “We must now realize the promise of America […]
Kanye West Tweets That He’s Running for President
By Brian Doherty Kanye West, the hip hop and fashion mogul whose public moves in the past few years have included a controversial flirtation with MAGA-ism and a turn toward pure Christian messaging in his music, chose the nation’s birthday to announce this via tweet: The Federal Election […]
The Articles of Unity – A Patriotic Plan to Save our Republic (Bret Weinstein)
Bret Weinstein seems to be a guy whose “heart is in the right place,” as a sentimentalist might say. His core idea is correct, i.e. building an anti-establishment movement that rejects incompetent/corrupt elites while rejecting dangerous authoritarians from the far-left and far-right.
Bret Weinstein Introduces the Unity 2020 Plan on Tucker Carlson Tonight – Jun 29, 2020
Almost half of BLM protesters are white; a plurality are suburbanites
I’ve noticed this as well. But unlike most commentators on the uprising, I would make a sharp distinction between the mainstream protest movement, conventional activism like BLM, the far-left/Antifa, the far-right/Boogaloo, statue vandalizers, and exaggerated sports rioters on one hand, and the actual uprising of the lumenproletariat on […]
“White Fragility,” Plus Adolph Reed on Identity Politics
At about the 1:29 mark, Reed talks about how the protest movement has been co-opted by the ruling class, and Taibbi talks about how the anti-statue campaign is a distraction from the “defund the police” movement.
Two people critically injured after car plows into protesters on Seattle freeway
Doug Stanglin USA TODAY Police in Seattle have taken into custody the driver of a car that struck two women during a protest on a downtown stretch of Interstate 5 late Friday, leaving one of the victims in critical condition, according to media reports. Washington State Patrol spokesperson […]
Ohio police officer shot to death in Home Depot parking lot
Will there be a chapter in the future history of The Second American Civil War that reads, “The Battle of Home Depot commenced on what was then known as Independence Day- July 4- in the year 2020, in the midst of the Dark Reign of Trump as the […]
#Unity2020 — is the “Darkhouse Duo” the bold plan America needs to initiate democracy reform?

The Lesser of the Evils or Simply the Evils?
My interpretation of the Hebraic/Persian/Semitic theological traditions is that Lucifer and Satan are actually different characters, even if some major currents within those traditions blend the two characters into one, which is fortunate for the Democratic and Republic Parties because they can both have a viable presidential candidate.
A Long Talk With Anthony Fauci’s Boss About the Pandemic, Vaccines, and Faith
By Jebediah Reed New York Intelligencer Even before he became the point person in a global effort to find a coronavirus vaccine, Dr. Francis Collins occupied an interesting perch in government. One of the few Obama appointees still serving in a major role in the Trump administration, Collins, […]
Happy Overthrow the Government Day!
Do American Indians Celebrate the 4th of July?
Some do, some don’t. Stereotypes, while sometimes rooted in fact, also contain many, many variations. My maternal grandmother’s father was Cherokee, and their family was Methodist. I’ve personally known Native Americans whose politics ranged from far-left anarchist to conservative Republican, to admiration for George Lincoln Rockwell’s American Nazi […]
Hispanic Republicans? Yep, and they’re here to stay
Are Hispanic the new Italians? In recent years, I’ve noticed an increased number of prominent minority conservatives/Republicans. An Iraqi immigrant woman wants to challenge Ilhan Omar. A Jamaican immigrant woman planned to challenge Alexandria Ocasia-Cortez and dropped out. A Hispanic woman running for Congress in Florida bills herself […]
Washington NFL team to do ‘thorough review’ of name, opening door to change
In the interest of truth-in-sports-advertising, all of Washington, D.C.’s sports teams should be given names like the Washington War Criminals, Washington Imperialist Dogs, Washington Tyrants, Washington Scumbags…many other possibilities. By Minyvonne Burke and Doha Madani NBC News The Washington NFL team said Friday they will do a “thorough […]
The US has 4% of the world’s population but 25% of its coronavirus cases
By Scottie Andrew, CNN (CNN) The United States has long prided itself as the world’s shining beacon. But its current status is a much darker one: the globe’s leader in coronavirus cases. More than 125,000 people have died from Covid-19 in the US, and more than 2.5 million […]
So Much for Flattening the Curve

UC Berkeley History Professor’s Open Letter Against BLM, Police Brutality and Cultural Orthodoxy
I agree with some points made in this article and disagree with others. But I’d say many of the arguments made are beside the point. Whether one believes George Floyd was personally a nice guy or not, whether one thinks systemic racism is the sole explanation for the […]
Remembering Capitalism’s Crimes
By Grace Blakeley Any self-identifying socialist will be met with the question at some point in their lives, how many people have been killed in the name of socialism? They might have pointed out in response that Soviet-style state socialism is about as far removed from the democratic […]
A Statue of Hatuey
By Don Fitz If you look at a US $20 bill, you might notice Andrew Jackson nervously watching statues of Columbus and Robert E. Lee coming down and wondering if his face is going to disappear from currency. As Democrats ponder which militarist they wish to glorify in […]
South Dakota governor calls removal of Confederate statues effort to ‘discredit’ founding fathers
Princess Kristi is merely trying to advance her position within the Trumpist Party by positioning herself as a friend of the right-wing of the Red Tribe. Obviously, the Confederacy is completely irrelevant to South Dakota (which wasn’t even a state during the time of the US Civil War). […]
Protesters block highway as Trump makes his way to Mount Rushmore
This is kind of like Netanyahu holding a campaign rally in the West Bank or Gaza. Trump is obviously trying to fuel “culture war” sympathy on the right because he knows he can hardly run on the great state of the nation. One reason why I think the […]
Tucker Carlson 2024? The GOP is buzzing
It’s going to be interesting to observe how the fracturing of electoral politics into three factions (the neoliberal/neocon duopoly, Trumpists, and social democrats) will impact the two-party system. It’s also possible a “radical centrist” faction will emerge as well (e.g. Brett Weinstein’s latest project, or Jesse Ventura’s write-in […]
Professor Richard Wolff: The coming economic crash will be like NOTHING in history
The capitalism vs socialism economic paradigm that emerged in the 19th century is outdated. Modern states have retained elements of both of these and fused into Burham’s managerial revolution and Kotkin’s neo-feudalism. The new paradigm should be neo-feudalism/managerial elite vs. anarchism. Professor of Economics Richard Wolff explains the […]
