Hypchondria, Neurosis and COVID-19
By Troy Southgate I began wondering about hypochondria and whether the present situation has enabled the average sufferer, or imagined sufferer, to overcome his or her neurosis. If you consider how making an appointment with the doctor may now provoke a degree of guilt in the sense that […]
Happy Carnation Revolution Day
By Troy Southgate Today marks the forty-sixth anniversary of the so-called Carnation Revolution (Revolução dos Cravos), but although large numbers of Portuguese continue to celebrate the events of April 25th, 1974, the entire occasion is but an annual display of collective psychosis. Not only was the possibility of […]
Looking Past the COVID-19 Hysteria
By Welf Herfurth Well, so far I have been quiet about this Corona virus hysteria because there are to many unknowns and fake news about it. I am totally aware that it is a serious matter and we all must do our thing to combat the spread of […]
Back to Normal? No!
By Vince Rinehart I am inherently distrustful of the government, but that doesn’t mean that global pandemics do not exist. My understanding is that we do not know enough about the Coronavirus, so we should be taking precautions. Early studies suggest that it as at least twice as […]
San Francisco had the 1918 flu under control. And then it lifted the restrictions.
By Dartunorro Clark NBC News When the clock struck noon, the masks came off. It was Nov. 21, 1918, and San Francisco residents gathered in the streets to celebrate not only the recent end of World War I and the Allies’ victory, but also the end of an […]
When will Republicans face demographic reality?
The Republicans have two very serious strategic problems: First, their only reliable constituency (middle-aged to elderly white folks in the South, Midwest, rural areas, and small towns) is shrinking in size. Second, this constituency is sinking fast economically (which will be dramatically accelerated by the current crisis). Hence, […]
DAMN: Chomsky Likens #NeverBiden to Nazi Enablers
Milquetoast social democrat David Pakman embraces the “vote blue, no matter who” line. Lifelong New York liberal Donald Trump is not a fascist or a Nazi. He is, at most, a Blue Dog Democrat or Rudy Guiliani-like “liberal” Republican, which is bad enough without any need for wild […]
McConnell Whines About Debt After Giving Trillions To Corporations
This is what Republicans have been doing for the past 40 years, i.e. crying about “debt” and “taxing and spending” while running up massive public debts while building a massive welfare state for the corporate class and military-industrial complex.

Joe Biden: no lesser, just evil
A good critique of Biden from the actual hard left. By April Holcombe Red Flag The only thing Joe Biden and Donald Trump should be battling over is the top bunk of a prison cell. Instead, these two crooks are vying for the presidency of the United States. […]
An Open Letter to the New New Left From the Old New Left
This “open letter” is a farce and a joke. Former luminaries of the New Left from the 1960s (including some ex-Weathermen and SDSers, along with a lot of other names that I recognize and have heard of for decades) make a Chomskyian plea on behalf of Biden. Notice […]
Krystal Ball: The woke Left tried to cancel me, that’s why they keep losing
This is one of the very best commentaries Krystal has ever done. Krystal Ball responds to critics who accused her of treating racism like, “some type of minor policy difference that can just be hand waved away,” for calling Tucker Carlson, an “independent thinker,” for being willing to […]
Interview with Nexus X Humectress
Todd Lewis and Nexus discuss issues that pertain to dissident intellectuals with a decentralized bent.
AOC makes it official, she’ll vote blue no matter who
Ya gotta get over that pathological right-wingophobia, Alexandria. If you must vote, then vote Libertarian, Green, Constitution, Transhumanist, Pirate, Peace and Freedom, SPUSA, PSL, SA, Workers World, whomever, but boycott the ruling class parties.
Joe Rogan’s hysterical takedown of Joe Biden
Krystal and Saagar discuss Joe Rogan’s comments on Joe Biden, comparing him to a broken school house with poor infrastructure, discuss Biden’s #SOULSaturday this weekend, which shows a similar messaging strategy as Hillary Clinton in 2016.
The SQUAD makes impassioned speeches during debate over $484 billion COVID-19 relief package

New polling shows which VP candidate Bernie supporters may back
Krystal and Saagar discuss a New York Times story, that says black leaders close to Biden have publicly and privately pushed him to select a black woman to fuel black voter excitement.
SHOCK POLL shows Biden winning less than HALF of Latino votes
Latinos 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 […]
Clearest sign yet of economic DOOM to come
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 […]
Iran Commander Claims Forces Were Ready to Hit 400 U.S. Targets in January
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 […]
Atlanta teen allegedly killed by stepfather for not sheltering in place, police say
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 […]
Declinists Be Damned: Bet On America?
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 […]
Coronavirus Update: 2.7 Million Cases, Almost 200k Dead, Civil Disobedience Spreads
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 […]
Fox Host: Telling People To Stay Home Is Class Warfare
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 […]
Senate Passes ANOTHER Covid Bill Without Hazard Pay, Rent Freeze Or UBI
More “Let them eat cake” attitudes coming from Congress. That tends to not work out well for ruling classes in the long run.
Techno-Tyranny: How The US National Security State Is Using Coronavirus To Fulfill An Orwellian Vision
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 […]
Security State Using Coronavirus To Implement Orwellian Nightmare
This is what our “anti-fascists” really need to be worried about, not Donald Trump, the Proudboys, or the Alt-Right.
Stop snitching on your neighbors…unless you want a police state
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 […]
Tucker shreds former McKinsey partner over China’s human rights violations
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 […]
Navigating the Corona Disinfo-Deluge
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 […]
Is Physical Money on the Verge of Elimination?
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 […]
Most Dictators Self Destruct. Why?
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 — […]
Trump: America’s LAST Republican President
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 […]

Cuomo tells unemployed to risk their lives for scraps

Nina Turner busts the narrative: Why black voters backed white candidates in 2020
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 […]
26 MILLION UNEMPLOYED, Corporate Elites CHOSE To Make You Suffer
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.
Trump gains among non-white voters shows EPIC failure of Democratic party
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 […]
Ivy league universities with MASSIVE endowments take taxpayer dollars
The educationist division of the new clerisy goes looting.
For the left to win, we must be willing to be HATED
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 […]
