Nexus X HumectressCulturally Right But Economically Left?
Bill Lind argues that a successful populism would be culturally conservative and economically liberal. It’s true that research shows that Republican voters lean to the left of their elites on economics and that Democratic voters lean to the right of their elites on social questions. But this ignores […]
What can Progressives do better in 2024?
The statist-centrist-centralist-reformist-electoralist “populism” of Krystal and Saager is interesting and insightful in some ways, but lame as hell in other ways. Gotta get over that “social contract” mythology, Saager. Four suggestions: 1. Renounce the state and become anarchists. The state is the enemy of all mankind. 2. Abandon […]
Ben Burgis Debunks Critics Of His “Reopen America” Piece
The basic arguments that these guys make are spot-on: If you don’t want more anti-lockdown protests (and more), then a debt moratorium is essential. Ben Burgis Debunks Critics Of His “Reopen America” Piece
The Left Can’t Just Dismiss the Anti-Lockdown Protests
By Ben Burgis Jacobin The anti-lockdown protests may currently represent a Trumpian minority — but that could easily change if the choice becomes going hungry or going back to work. We need a real alternative that refuses to accept the false trade-off between economic security and public health. […]

The new intellectuals of the American right
I don’t really see these guys becoming popular in the US. American-style right-wing populism is the Know-Nothing tradition, not Throne and Altar. The problem with the US right in all its forms is that it is swimming against the demographic, cultural, generation, economic, and technological tides. The future […]

Entitled Corporate Dems Flip At Justin Amash & Reveal Hatred Of Democracy

When Old Heroes Fall
Two writers that have influenced my own thinking as much as any others are Noam Chomsky and Kevin Carson. Chomsky has probably influenced my thinking on international relations to a greater degree than any other writer on the topic, and Carson has probably influenced my thinking on economics […]
Anarchists for the White Coat Priesthood?
Deference to credentialed and experienced experts is generally a good plan barring compelling evidence to the contrary, but “experts” are not divine oracles, and science and medicine can become corrupted, abusive, or incompetent as much as any other kind of institution. One thing that I have found interesting […]
Kim Iversen Calls Out The Hill’s The Rising As Corporate Media
Rising is by far the best the “mainstream media” has to offer, which is why I post so much of their material here, but this guy’s critique of Rising, echoing Kim Iversen, for not being nearly radical enough is spot on. A real test of a media outlet’s […]
MSNBC libs demand Chris Hayes’ head after covering Tara Reade
Krystal and Saagar look at MSNBC’s Chris Hayes segment on Tara Reade, which received major pushback from Democrats on Twitter.
Celebs’ cringeworthy fawning over Biden, Kamala Harris

The burden of proof is on those who impose burdens
By Edward Feser I have argued both that the lockdown was a justifiable initial reaction to the Covid-19 crisis, and that skeptics ought nevertheless to be listened to, and listened to more earnestly the longer the lockdown goes on. Here’s one front line doctor who argues that it […]
The Inevitable Coronavirus Censorship Crisis is Here
By Matt Taibbi Earlier this week, Atlantic magazine – fast becoming the favored media outlet for self-styled intellectual elites of the Aspen Institute type – ran an in-depth article of the problems free speech pose to American society in the coronavirus era. The headline: Internet Speech Will Never […]
U.S. court dismisses New York nurses’ plea for COVID-19 protection
From “Let them eat cake!” to “Let them breathe coronavirus!” (Reuters) – A U.S. District Court on Friday dismissed a nurse association’s plea against New York state and two hospitals to provide safety equipment and adopt measures to stop the spread of COVID-19 among its members, asking the […]
With rent due, millions of Americans can’t — or won’t — pay

Bernie Secretly Agreed To Take Billionaire Money Says Former Staffer
The social democrats proved their untrustworthiness in 1914. They’ve been fucking up ever since.
MSNBC presses Biden on allegation, misses the mark
Don’t let establishment gaslight you into thinking Biden is our only choice
Revolution is the only solution. Krystal Ball discusses the partisan handling of Tara Reade and makes the case that the Democratic party doesn’t have to move forward with Joe Biden as the presidential nominee.
David Sirota reveals how Amazon quashed worker protection initiative
Journalist David Sirota shares his reporting that Amazon attorneys persuaded the Trump administration to quash shareholder initiatives that could safeguard employees, as essential workers from Amazon, Walmart, FedEx and more are set to protest for better working conditions and higher pay this May Day.
May Day protester’s epic rant about rich CEOs and Congress
Krystal and Saagar watch and discuss essential workers’ May Day strikes to push for safer working conditions and higher pay, as the crisis exposes their importance to our infrastructure.
Biden says his job is make sure Mayor Pete is future of Democratic party
It’s interesting how the rivalry among the Democrats between neoliberals and social democrats has become almost as intense as the rivalry between Democrats and Republicans.
Rent is due, 14% of voters aren’t confident they can pay it
Worse than 2008. On today’s What America’s Thinking, a new Hill-HarrisX poll finds 14% of voters say they are not confident they can pay housing costs in May. Hill Reporter, Niv Elis, breaks down the latest on this growing concern among progressives and housing advocates. Vice President of […]
Pelosi Then: “Believe Women!”. Now: “Due Process!”. WTF?
It’s funny how the parties and their mouthpieces have reversed roles overnight when it comes to sexual assault allegations against public officials. A real “We Have Always Been At War With Eastasia” moment.
Totalitarianism doesn’t shock us any more
Never in American history have politicians been more powerful than they are now.
Super-Rich Are Getting Richer During The Pandemic
Hypocrite Democrats Continue To Protect Joe Biden
Krystal Ball Dragged After Tepid Credit To Fox Host
Krystal has really been getting attacked by the SJW crowd lately, which means she is likely on the right track. I reject Tucker Carlson’s populist-nationalism and social conservatism. I reject Krystal’s statist-reformist social democracy. And I reject the libtard-leftard-SJW-Antifa pathological right-wingophobia. Kyle’s commentary is this is pretty good.
Trump will lose if he bows to big business on China
Trump is a con man whose populism is a ruse. But look for a more explicitly anti-corporatist right to emerge as an insurgency within the GOP in the future (like the present social democratic insurgency among the Democrats). Saagar Enjeti discusses infighting within the Trump administration over an […]
Diddy’s SHOCKING message to Biden on behalf of Black Voters: ‘I will hold vote HOSTAGE’
Good man. Take lessons, Bernie, AOC, Chomsky…. Krystal and Saagar watch P. Diddy, also known as Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, state on Naomi Campbell’s ‘No Filter With Naomi,’ that the black vote needs to be earned not given to a default candidate declaring he will, “hold the vote hostage […]
Workers plan unprecedented national strike at Amazon, Walmart, and more
Hell, yeah. Do it! I’ve been wanting to see this for decades.
DAM BREAKS as media demands answers from Biden on allegations
It’s somewhat amusing that the presidential campaign has essentially become a contest over who is going to be the “Rapist-In-Chief.” At least the state is being exposed for what it is. Krystal and Saagar discuss Washington Post, NYT articles that push Joe Biden to address the Tara Reade […]
Dem meltdown over Justin Amash reveals their hollow #Resistance party
If the Libertarians nominate this guy as their candidate they deserve to completely go out of business. Jacob Hornberger, Adam Kokesh, Vermin Supreme…all fine. More Republican throwaways…no. Prediction: As the neoliberals continue to get squeezed by faux socialist from the left and faux populists from the right, libertarian […]
Sean Gabb on Why Libertarian Strategy has Failed
The only way is to build a society-wide consensus that the state are the bad guys, although libertarians and anarchists, left and right, disagree on what aspects of the state are the most pernicious, and even on what the state actually is. Mindcrime liberty show with Swithun Dobson […]
Were Libertarians for Trump right?
No, but neither were the Chomskyian anarcho-Hillaryites. We update the libertarians for trump as well as discuss the ways in which most nevertrumpers inside and outside the libertarian camp have failed to have a substantial criticism while Block’s case has largely been correct in the past 4 years.
Musk vs. Zuck: A tale of two CEOs acting much differently during a pandemic
Modern-day robber barons representing the techno-oligarchy, the rising ruling class, and the left-wing of capitalism. Fuck ’em all. By Therese Poletti Market Watch Mark Zuckerberg has spent much of the past two years facing widespread vitriol about Facebook Inc.’s huge privacy lapses, while Elon Musk has bathed in […]
GOP lawmakers slam proposals for guaranteed income amid pandemic
The throne and altar party says let them eat cake. During the industrial revolution, there were actually what Marx derided as “feudal socialists,” i.e. royalists, aristocrats, and clerics who recognized the need to address the dislocations caused by industrialization (kind of like our present-day Tucker Carlsons, Saager Enjetis, […]
Goofy Gillis Comes Out as a Neighborhood Nationalist
In service of the therapeutic state and the white coast priesthood. But, Goofy, what about your pathological phobia that “neighborhood nationalists” are going to infringe upon someone’s freedom to do their own thing? It’s possible to recognize that the present situation is a genuine public health crisis and […]
Are Americans starting to tune out blue state politicians?
Hopefully. And, hopefully, they are tuning out red state politicians as well.
Tucker: Our leaders are making a mockery of their own quarantines
One law for the royals, another for everyone else.
Michael Moore, filmmakers respond to criticism of new bombshell environmental film
Michael Moore has always generally struck me as a largely talentless, sanctimonious fuckhead. But it’s interesting to see him calling out Big Green for the scam that it is. Academy award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore and associates discuss their new documentary, ‘Planet of the Humans,’ a documentary that says […]
What If America Actually Buys Greenland?
Let’s not do that to the poor Greenlanders. Most of the world are really just US provinces anyway. It’s like the US has 150-200 states rather than the formal 50. Continental Central/Eastern Asia are the only places that have any degree of autonomy from the Empire, and only […]
The world is on lockdown. So where are all the carbon emissions coming from?
By Shannon Osaka Grist Pedestrians have taken over city streets, people have almost entirely stopped flying, skies are blue (even in Los Angeles!) for the first time in decades, and global CO2 emissions are on-track to drop by … about 5.5 percent. Wait, what? Even with the global […]
