Nexus X HumectressLatinos are going to be the “new white ethnics,” i.e. minorities that move from left to right as they become more integrated into US society, like the Germans, Irish, Italians, Poles, Czechs, etc. before them. Krystal and Saagar discuss a number of polls including an Economist YouGov poll […]
Retail feudalism is on the way if it wasn’t already here. We’re going back to the days of company towns. Krystal and Saagar discuss the massive and permanent changes to retail stores due to coronavirus that include 100,000 store closures, and growth of online shares on retail […]
Anarchists do not necessarily need to “take sides” in geopolitical rivalries between states. I also consider the standard left-wing categories of “progressive” and “reactionary” to be based on a false dichotomy that is rooted in Manichean dualism. But all things considered, Iran and its “axis of resistance” are […]
On one hand, anarchists will generally argue that the exercise of direct action and social pressure outside the state is an effective means of upholding social order without relying on political and legal institutions. On the other hand, this is kind of wacked. By Tina Burnside and Leah […]
This is an interesting debate about the degree to which the US will remain the world’s leading power in the future. The participants are all far more establishmentarian than I am (who isn’t?). What I think the actual trends show on this question is that while the US […]
Many of those who are engaged in civil disobedience regarding the shelter-in-place orders are misguided in a lot of their thinking, but they are still a necessary counterpart to the state. The state must be challenged in all circumstances. It is for this same reason that oppositional subcultures […]
I generally think Greg Gutfield is a moron who is mostly just about regurgitating the standard FOX News hand-wringing about “socialism,” as if there were an actual socialist movement of any significance in the US (and, no, recycled New Dealer Bernie Sanders and McGoverite liberal AOC are not […]
More “Let them eat cake” attitudes coming from Congress. That tends to not work out well for ruling classes in the long run.
By Whitney Webb The Last American Vagabond Last year, a U.S. government body dedicated to examining how artificial intelligence can “address the national security and defense needs of the United States” discussed in detail the “structural” changes that the American economy and society must undergo in order to […]
This is what our “anti-fascists” really need to be worried about, not Donald Trump, the Proudboys, or the Alt-Right.
It is almost certain that governments all over the world will attempt to maintain the powers they have seized during the course of the pandemic. The anarchist critique of the state is vitally important at this time. The anarchist view is that the state is nothing more than […]
I generally don’t agree with Tucker Carlson’s Sinophobia. Yes, China is probably as close to being an actual “fascist” regime of any country in the world today in the sense of being a one-party state, with a cult of personality built around the leader, a state-directed system of […]
By UN Extinction Nowhere News Keeping track of the latest developments in the ever-blossoming wisdom of our leaders and protectors has been a trying task for those of us that still haven’t learned to trust the decrees of corporate and state propaganda outlets. With the huge volumes of […]
By Stefan Gleason, Money Metals Exchange The metals markets are being pulled in multiple directions simultaneously like never before. The global virus-triggered economic freeze has caused industrial demand for all commodities to crater. At the same time, mining output is also crashing as virus fears force many mines […]
By Leonid Bershidsky Bloomberg With authoritarian rulers ascendant in many parts of the world, one wonders what must happen for their countries to liberalize. The likes of Vladimir Putin in Russia, Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey or Xi Jinping in China are entrenched, experienced and not unpopular — […]
Will the US be a one-party state in the future? In the past, I have thought that as the Republicans’ demographic base continues to shrink they would likely reinvent themselves as a pretend populist-nationalist part (which has since happened with Trump) and that some on the right would […]
Author of, ‘PHARMA: Greed, Lies and the Poisoning of America,’ Gerald Posner explains how Pharma lobbies Democrats and Republicans to influence coronavirus relief bills, and profit from the crisis.
Krystal and Saagar look at a viral video of Staten Island youtuber, Vic Dibitetto, going off at the government over the stimulus bill allocations and social distancing.
A member of one of the left-wing of the ruling class’ royal families says, “Let them eat cake!” How well did that work out for the royals of 1789 and 1917, Andrew? Krystal and Saagar discuss New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s message to New Yorkers, “economic hardship doesn’t […]
Watch this video, and then read this transcript of a talk I gave a couple of years ago. “Wokeness” is merely the self-legitimating ideological superstructure of the rising left-wing of the upper-middle class, which is in turn being coopted by the left-wing of the plutocratic class. Former National […]
Not bad for a Ross Douthat-fan. Saagar Enjeti discusses new unemployment claims at 26 million, and explains how the economic fallout is a choice by corrupt financial elitists refusing to supply laid off workers with more income.
It makes sense. Older voters tend to be wealthier and more affluent, and as the Democrats’ economic rhetoric moves right their popularity with older people increases. Non-whites tend to be disproportionately poor, and as Trump/Republican economic rhetoric moves left they gain in popularity with minorities. Krystal and Saagar […]
The educationist division of the new clerisy goes looting.
The neoliberals who run the Democratic Party are not Democratic Party loyalists as much as the left-wing of the Neoliberal Plutocratic Party, which means their real loyalty is to the ruling class. That means the would rather lose to the Republicans than allow the Faux Leftist wing of […]
Direct action. By Leah Asmelash, CNN Officials in one California city thought they had what it would take to keep people away from a local skate park: 37 tons of sand. They were wrong. READ MORE
Krystal and Saager explain how the Democratic and Republican establishments support each other in order to deflect the “radical” wings of their respective parties. As I have said, we have three major parties: Centrist Neoliberals, Faux Populists, and Faux Leftists. Krystal Ball discusses polls that show Bernie Sanders […]
Keith Preston of attackthesystem.com joins Antony Sammeroff and Tom Laird again on episode 150 of the Scottish Liberty Podcast to discuss Covid-19 Corona Virus, anarchism and the Therapeutic State as described by Thomas Szasz.
What will be interesting is if the restrictions are lifted and everyone continues to practice them anyway. I guess that would demonstrate the viability of the anarchist principles of direct action and voluntary cooperation. Consumer confidence is going to be close to zero when the economy finally reopens. […]
Mother Nature is cleaning house? By Seth Borenstein Associated Press An unplanned grand experiment is changing Earth. As people across the globe stay home to stop the spread of the new coronavirus, the air has cleaned up, albeit temporarily. Smog stopped choking New Delhi, one of the most […]
Are the anti-lockdown protests Republican astroturf, or a genuinely popular rebellion that the Republicans are trying to coopt? By Michael Martina, Jarrett Renshaw and Tim Reid Reuters HARRISBURG, Pa./DETROIT (Reuters) – Republican politicians and individuals affiliated with President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign are organizing or promoting anti-lockdown protests […]
CBS News An Idaho woman was arrested Tuesday after police say she was violating city orders by trespassing on a city playground that was closed to stop the spread of the coronavirus. CBS affiliate KBOI-TV reports that 40-year-old Sara Brady, of Meridian, was arrested and charged with one […]
Zionist Uber-ally Trump uses the current crisis to escalate Iranophobia. By Helene Cooper, Eric Schmitt, Lara Jakes and Thomas Gibbons-Neff New York Times WASHINGTON — President Trump said on Wednesday that he has told the Navy to “shoot down and destroy” any Iranian fast boats that harass American […]
The Young Turk’s Cenk Uygur discusses how 90% of the coronavirus bill went to big businesses, and says that Democrats gaslit progressives on provisions to the stimulus bill to keep progressives, like AOC, from blocking votes.
Krystal and Saagar discuss a new pew research poll that shows the majority of voters who have a problem with a white older candidate are white, Warren supporters.
The Democrats are losing the young people and the Republicans are losing the old people. Excellent.
Saagar Enjeti discusses the new coronavirus relief bill that extended the paycheck protection program by $350 billion almost a week after the program, which has loaned money to nearly 1/5th of american small businesses, ran out of funds.
Krystal Ball discusses a new survey from Chegg that shows 22% of college students will not vote in the general election, and what this means for the future of the country.
When Trump was running for office in 2016, I knew that he would mostly govern as a normal Republican or neoliberal centrist, with a rhetorically leftward turn on a few issues (trade, gays, foreign policy, etc.), and that his more rightward rhetoric was mostly a bone thrown to […]
The latter part of this segment has an interesting discussion of the differences between Carlson’s and Hannity’s coverage of COVID-19. Krystal and Saagar look at a Tucker Carlson FOX News clip, where he calls out Trump for not doing enough on illegal immigration, which makes cheap labor easier […]
A great example of the application of the anarchist principle of direct action.
Features, Apr 21st Freedom spoke to Ruth Kinna, author of numerous books on anarchism about the origins and key concepts of anarchism. What do you find most attractive about anarchism? I like the starting point. Anarchists usually start with a critique of injustice and an assumption of social […]
Dr. James Hildreth states exosome and virus is the same thing. 80% false positives with the test! Regardless of that flawed test, that will possibly get you removed to isolation/detention under the new laws being passed worldwide.
By Smriti Mallapaty Nature Antibody tests might be used to help stem the COVID-19 pandemic — but first must overcome several hurdles.Credit: Greg Baker/AFP/Getty British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called them a ‘game changer’. Antibody tests have captured the world’s attention for their potential to help life return […]
