Nexus X HumectressBreonna Taylor, who was working as an EMT in Kentucky when the coronavirus pandemic started, was reportedly killed after being shot 8 times by police who mistakenly entered her apartment. Her family is filing a lawsuit accusing the officers of wrongful death, excessive force, and gross negligence. Back in March, […]
Notice that the majority of these 37 scumbags are Republicans (plus some corporate Democrats like Mark Warner and Tim Kaine), which shows how seriously they take their rhetoric about “limited government.” And the great man of the people, Bernie Sanders, didn’t even bother to vote on this. By […]
Tom Woods interviews Thaddeus Russell on left-wing support for scientistic therapeutic totalitarianism. Listen here. ————————————————— It’s been quite remarkable to me the extent to which the lockdowns have divided people along ideological lines. A left-wing case against lockdown seems so easy to make and so obvious, and yet […]
It seems like it would be best to just forget about the whole school thing for now.
Sanders seems to have three motivations: 1) he doesn’t want to be seen as a “spoiler” like Ralph Nader; 2) he thinks he might actually be able to exercise influence on a Biden administration, and 3) he probably views this as the equivalent of KPD/SPD unity against the […]
Biden is not going to “hire” Bernie people any more than he is going to hire Trump people. As I said, there are three parties now.
If I had a daughter being born right now, I don’t think I would name her “Karen.” Mika’s comments also need to be considered in light of who her father was. Krystal and Saagar discuss Mika Brzezinski’s tweet that states she is reaching out to Twitter about policies […]
The New York Times’ “dream Cabinet” reaffirms my view that there are now essentially three political parties in the US: neoliberals, Trumpists, and social democrats. Notice how this NYT “dream Cabinet” includes both Democraps and Repugnicans, but all of the figures mentioned are neoliberals. What I see happening […]
Since plenty of Americans, left and right, still seem to be hung up on the Civil War and its legacy, perhaps the following Wikipedia description of the early individualist-anarchist Lysander Spooner’s position on the Civil War would be helpful, i.e. support for the abolition of slavery with parallel […]
Dementia Man is assuming the lead over Orange Man. Trump’s faux economic populism is the only reason he won in 2016. If he can’t hold on to that and allows Biden to win the “economy first” vote, he’s finished. On the economic questions, I’m generally in favor of […]
Kyle calls out the media sector of the new clerisy. This is good.
Another “culture war” issue to bring the psychopaths out of the baseboards. By Travis Gettys Raw Story A Colorado man shot a Waffle House worker who asked him to wear a face mask inside the restaurant.
Why aren’t they being offered extra pay to go where they are needed?
Their “gunophobia” is probably one of the most disgusting things about “progressives.”
Believe it or not, there are “right-wing libertarians” (including folks who ought to know better) who think Singapore, an actual fascist state, is a praiseworthy libertarian society because “muh low taxes, man!” Singapore jails political dissidents and executes petty drug offenders. Interestingly, Singapore is a multicultural society with […]
I don’t agree with this author’s perspective on a number of things, but there are some great points in this article. Instead of focusing on traditional issues like wages, hours, and working conditions, the AFL-CIO suddenly found itself sponsoring college teach-ins, as Matt Labash noted, featuring panelists like […]
One thing that Marxist-Leninist fundamentalist Jason Unruhe regrettably ignores in this commentary is that Christian evangelicals tend to be disproportionately concentrated among the poor and working-class (including both whites and minorities) and are therefore the people most likely to be in “essential jobs” and less able to practice […]
The Republicans once again remind us of why they’re total scumbags, and Bernie Sanders reminds us of why social democrats are useless.
The Jacobin boys come close to confronting the problem of “slave morality.”
Have we found the “vaccine”?
Joshua and Ryan discuss local, national, and international politics; outrage and divisiveness in the current political climate; and the quagmire of disarray and turmoil created by tribalism and partisan politics with journalist and podcaster Kim Iversen.

Imagine that. The student loan industry is a nationalized, state-run industry functioning in collusion with the banksters and the educationist wing of the new clerisy. Not being dischargeable through bankruptcy, student loans are modern-day indentured servitude. No way they’re going to give up that win-win scenario for the […]
Carlson’s tirade against the empty skirts that are trying to be the next Mike Pence (what a weenie that one is) is somewhat amusing. The election coming up is interesting but not for the reasons that are usually stated. The Republican Party elites seem generally satisfied with Trump […]
This article is an excellent demonstration of why the “anarcho-left” fails. Not everything said in this is “wrong,” and not every point being made is worthless, but it’s mostly just the standard mainstream “progressive” narrative with an anarchistic gloss. Most telling of all is that there is no […]
This is a pretty good critique of “culture war” politics but what they’re missing is that the “culture war” is primarily a rivalry within the middle-class, which is exploited by the ruling class, and where “both sides” regard working class issues as merely peripheral, if something they have […]
Regrettably, a lot of our “progressives,” “civil libertarians,” and even “anarchists” will probably go along with this because he was such a fascist baddie n’all. By Lizzie Deardon The Independent The leader of far-right organisation Britain First has been convicted of a terror offence. Paul Golding refused to […]
BBC Court orders restricting the movements of suspected terrorists could be renewed indefinitely under new legislation unveiled by the government. The bill would lower the standard of proof to impose the orders, known as TPims, and remove the current two-year limit that applies to them. Suspects would also […]
We discuss reparations with longtime libertarian intellectual who is the author of now more then 500 plus papers and books Walter Block.
Many ancient cultures practiced human sacrifice.
How can we reconcile the no-mooners with the flat-earthers? 🙂
Listen here. Debbie Bookchin is a widely-published journalist and author whose work has appeared in The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Nation, and numerous other publications. She served as press secretary to Bernie Sanders when he served in the U.S. House and she recently […]
Right on, Krystal. The liberals that I remember from the 70s and 80s, whatever their flaws, were generally antiwar/anti-imperialist (Southeast Asia, Central America), pro-poor and working-class (despite the limitations of their welfarism and business unionism), pro-civil liberties (e.g. sexual revolutionaries and pro-free speech even for the Skokie Nazis), […]
The problem with David’s analysis in this is that he seems fairly subjective and one-dimensional in his criticisms of “conspiracy theories.” The fact that the last three years of cable news (excluding FOX) was devoted to Russiagate hysteria shows that liberals and the Left are just as prone […]
By Dr. Lissa Rankin, MD A few days ago on Facebook, I made a casual comment questioning part of the dominant narrative (that the anti-viral remdesivir is indeed worthy of Dr. Fauci’s optimism and a lightning speed rush to FDA approval.) A physician and medical director challenged me, […]
According to this new study, while about 1 in 1000 people who get the ordinary flu actually die, with COVID-19 it’s about 1.2 per 100 of symptomatic cases. So COVID-19 is roughly 10 times more deadly than the conventional flu. Health Affairs Knowing the infection fatality rate (IFR) […]
By Anya Briya Open Democracy The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), commonly known as Rojava, has illuminated the plight of the stateless—even though statelessness in the AANES’s case defies the narrow definition of international law. Despite comprising almost a third of Syrian territory, the AANES […]
Another silver lining? By Sean Gabb The latest turn in an increasingly dull coverage of the Coronavirus panic is a proposed reopening of the schools. The Government wants them open as soon as possible for at least some of their students. The teaching unions are bleating that no […]
Some pretty good class/economic analysis. The intra-ruling class debate seems to be between those who think the peasants should be forced to stay at home under de facto house arrest and starve (the position of liberal partisans of the therapeutic state) and those who think the peasants should […]
This is a pretty good discussion of the US-Saudi relationship. Now, if Krystal and Saager would critique the US-Israel relationship. Yeah, right…lol Th Krystal and Saagar discuss the FBI’s recent discovery of a link between al Qaeda and a Saudi military trainee who killed three U.S. sailors in […]
Tom Woods and Jeff Deist discuss how Left and Right have different interpretations of reality. Listen here ———————————————————– Jeff Deist, chairman of the Mises Institute, joins me to try to get to the bottom of why the response to COVID-19 (and the lockdowns) seems for the most part […]
By Sarah Stillman The New Yorker On March 14th, Roslyn Crouch, a mother of twelve, left her house in New Orleans to stock up on toilet paper and canned goods, and didn’t return. Crouch, who is forty-two, with slender braids down to her knees, had been feeling anxious […]
Apparently, there is now a third volume to this series. I was doing an interview with an anarcho-capitalist podcast the other night where these two books were mentioned. They’re two of my favorite libertarian/an-cap oriented works. Walter Block is more of a right-libertarian than I am on economics […]
That’s probably how the coronavirus was spread. What we should have done as soon as COVID-19 appeared was build one of Trump’s walls around New York, LA, DC, the Bay Area, Chicago, and DC (i.e. all the ruling class havens), shut down flights from those cities, and be […]
A Marxist-Leninist commie-worshiper makes his case for Xi Jinping’s neo-Maoism. To Western leftists who want to live under state-communism, I always say join the military where you are guaranteed a job and all your basic needs (food, shelter, clothes, healthcare) are provided. Or if the military is not […]
