Media can’t understand why Left won’t fall in line as Bernie advocates for Biden
Sanders pretty much showed what he was about when he endorsed the Kosovo War in 1999.

Of all the Democratic candidates, Marianne was the second favorite (after Tulsi, with Yang being third) of my anti-electoralist self. Krystal and Saagar discuss Marianne Williamson’s endorsement of progressive congressional candidates including Pelosi challenger, Shahid Buttar
Krystal and Saager, lame statist-reformists that they are, still do decent reporting on class issues. They really call out the mass media wing of the new clerisy in this. Krystal and Saagar watch CNN’s Fareed Zakaria blast elites for controlling the narrative on reopening the economy, and discuss […]
By Michael Hudson Counterpunch Even before the novel coronavirus appeared, many American families were falling behind on student loans, auto loans, credit cards and other payments. America’s debt overhead was pricing its labor and industry out of world markets. A debt crisis was inevitable eventually, but covid-19 has […]
George Soros says he worries about the future of globalization. Another silver lining. Btw, in the interest of heresy for heresy’s sake, I actually agree with Soros on certain things, just as I agree with the Kochs on certain things (as opposed to, for example, Sheldon Adelson with […]
I have always said that “anti-hate speech” is just a mask for political repression. States and ruling classes always attempt to justify repression by appealing to the dominant moral paradigm. In past times, they would use religion as a justification for suppressing ostensible heretics. When church and state […]
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley Remember when the Russians were coming? It seems like just last week Vladimir Putin was whistling the Soviet National Anthem just around every corner of main street. After the colossal clusterfuck of Hillary 2016, you couldn’t swing a […]
An actual populist uprising will take place outside of all this electoralist bullshit. Krystal and Saager are decent journalists but they epitomize why reformism fails. I like the way they constantly bash neoliberals but the FDR nostaglism gets a bit old. I’ve noticed that virtually the full-range dissident […]
This video featuring a group of Marxoids/Berniebros from The Jacobin is a perfect illustration of how the mainstream economics debate pitting “socialism” versus “capitalism” represents a false dichotomy that should be discarded. Both Ron/Rand Paul fans and these Jacobin guys need to go back and read their nineteenth-century […]
The primary disagreement that I have with orthodox, American-style libertarians is their deification of characters like Bezos, Musk, Gates, Sam Walton, etc as idealized Nietzschean supermen. This is a recurring theme I have seen among Randians (the worst), Catoite neoliberals, and Rockwellian paleos alike. These characters are simply […]
The takeover of public health that we have documented in How Bill Gates Monopolized Global Health and the remarkably brazen push to vaccinate everyone on the planet that we have documented in Bill Gates’ Plan to Vaccinate the World was not, at base, about money. The unimaginable wealth […]
I’m glad to see that anti-voting sympathies are rising on the Left. By Beatrice Phi Medium At the ballot box in November, Americans will have to choose between Donald Trump — the Republican incumbent — and “not Donald Trump,” the Democratic challenger. Despite the fact that they overwhelmingly […]
I used to know a Vietnam War combat veteran who would say, “Yes, I was an atheist in a foxhole.” Someday I will have to write a piece called “Yes, I was an anarchist during a pandemic.” Given that most people regard Libertarians as the “Republican Throwaway Party” […]
The milquetoast reformists are growing in number. The DSA seems to have a mixture of good ideas (like rent strikes) combined with the usual statist-reformism and SJW loopiness. Whenever I discuss politics with Republican-leaning friends and relatives, I will often find that I agree with their criticisms of […]
Gandhi: Politics, Economics and the Backlash By Keith Preston Gandhi as Spiritual Godfather of the Indian Independence Movement Critics of Gandhi and the Conservative Hindu Backlash Early Life and the Beginnings of Gandhi’s Radicalism Mohandas K.

In the Ottoman Empire, a millet was a separate legal court pertaining to “personal law” under which a confessional community was allowed to rule itself under its own system. After the Ottoman Tanzimat reforms, the term was used for legally protected religious minority groups, similar to the way […]
Democrats: “We suck so bad we can’t even beat Donald Trump.”
Orange Man goes full Star Wars. President Trump leads first unfurling the flag of the United States Space Force. The flag will stand in the Oval Office alongside other service branch flags
Krystal and Saagar discuss reports that China is threatening to sanction lawmakers who have been critical of the country’s handling of the coronavirus.
It’s funny how milquetoast social democrats like Bernie and AOC and outright hucksters like Lizzie the Scamster are still considered too much by the bankster-friendly MSM.
No issue with that, Joe. Krystal and Saagar watch Joe Biden’s MSNBC interview where he states, “If you believe Tara Reade you probably shouldn’t vote for me.”
Her shamelessness is almost refreshing in its own way. Nixon: “I am not a crook.” Hillary: “I’m a crook. So what?”
Way to get co-opted, Alexandria. That didn’t take long.
Sanders is an illustration of why social democrats fail. They treat topics like state repression and imperialism as peripheral issues as opposed to what they think really matters, which is more free stuff.
It doesn’t now?
In the deep blue zones, becoming a Christian fundamentalist would be like becoming a Satanist in the deep red zones. By Carly Gelsinger On a summer Thursday evening, shortly after my 16th birthday, my face was pressed into the maroon carpet again. Mildew filled my nostrils and I […]
If only it were true. Localized quarantines are what we should have been doing all along. It’s ridiculous to expect rural counties to abide by the same rules as New York and Los Angeles. Some states are using science to guide their decisions and cautiously beginning to relax […]
Whether it’s a “mistake” or not is beside the point. We need reparations from the state now. Total moratorium on rent, mortgages, utility bills, credit cards, student loans, medical bills, and car payments. If you take away peoples’ livelihoods, then you owe them. Period. It’s no different than […]
Another Jeffrey Tucker article questioning the sanctity of lockdown orthodoxy. By Jeffrey Tucker The year was 1957.
I’m generally not a fan of Randian cop-lover Heather MacDonald, but this is funny. By Heather MacDonald Rightfully Yours “If we are in a war, as our leaders tell us, we should act like it. Diverting scientists’ attention, time and funding away from research and toward identity politics […]
I’ve seen some of the circles around C4SS and other supposed “left-libertarians” bashing Jeffrey Tucker (whose orthodox libertarianism I don’t personally share, although I am in favor of all forms of voluntary libertarianism and anarchism) for questioning the sanctity of the lockdowns. By Jeffrey Tucker Many people infected […]
It figures that Singapore would be in the vanguard of techno-therapeutic-fascism. It’s also interesting how so many American right-libertarians engage in such a pathetic veneration of Singapore (“‘They got low taxes, man!”) just as so many American leftists engage in an equally pathetic veneration of Cuba (“They got […]
Is the coronavirus a tool of the phallocracy? Not that it’s a pissing contest, but more men than women have died from COVID-19 so far. This is Rush Limbaugh-like “left parody” material here. By Ryan Heath and Renuka Rayasam Politico During this plague year, there is almost never […]
This article was written in February before the Democraps literally conspired to ensure Sanders’ loss on Super Tuesday by pulling back all their house candidates at the same time and ordering them to endorse Dementia Man, except for Lizzie the Scamster, whom they kept in the race as […]
An investment advisor argues that the impact of the supply side and neoliberal revolutions (which challenged the older Keynesian paradigm that came out of the Great Depression) era have produced a backlash evidenced by the rise of “populism” (economic nationalism) on the right and the return of social […]
This video points out data which shows that secular Americans typically do not follow the stereotyped pattern of young people become more rightward-leaning with age, but are also less likely to vote when compared with religious Americans. My guess is that the latter is probably true because those […]
By Carne Ross Metro The current way of doing politics and our economic life on this Earth is coming to an end. The climate emergency will require dramatic changes to the wasteful way we consume resources. The grotesquery of the 0.1% cruising in private jets while the rest […]
José de Córdoba Wall Street Journal MEXICO CITY—Mexico’s drug cartels are in a war for the hearts and minds of poor Mexicans, providing them with food and supplies as they struggle to survive the economic meltdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Since the coronavirus struck Mexico, a plethora […]
The big question for the Democraps is who will play the role of “Melakon with a twat” to Joe “Fingers” Biden’s “Professor John Gill with dementia.”
The battle of the MDs. An interesting video on Fauci’s background.
By Tony Seed In the dead of night, they swept in aboard V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft. Landing in a remote region of one of the most volatile countries on the planet, they raided a village and soon found themselves in a life-or-death firefight. It was the second time […]
An interesting infographic from the Smithsonian Institute indicating where around the world US forces are involved. See an enlarged version here. By Stephanie Savell and 5W Infographics Smithsonian Magazine Less than a month after the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States, U.S. troops—with support from British, […]
One thing I really like about Peter Zeihan’s geopolitical analysis is that it is non-ideological. It’s not about taking anyone’s side as much as saying, “Like it or not, this is what is happening. Make of it what you will.” One of the best things about Zeihan is […]
