My Shitlist 2018
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley This blog is a lot of things to me. It’s art. It’s therapy. It’s a bullhorn from which I can shout my radical diktats to a small horde of loyal followers whom I lovingly refer to as my […]
The Way Forward?
Do the ideas of thinkers like James Corbett represent the way forward for an anarchist-led/informed revolutionary center that identifies the global power elite as the true enemy?
Political Correctness Is Apparently Widely Unpopular Among All Americans
The recently released study indicating the deep unpopularity of political correctness, as well as the marginal nature of both PC partisans and the hard right, carries certain implications for the ATS strategy and program. First, there is no need whatsoever to capitulate or kowtow to PC, and that […]
Lou Dobbs & Tucker Carlson: Trump Is A Pragmatic Centrist!
Kyle Kulinski offers a good critique of why right-wing critics of the Left typically fail, but regrettably Kyle merely wants to steer the conversation toward his own Berniebro/neo-Rooseveltian perspective.
Tucker: The uncivil left reveals their real strategy
These Tucker Carlson-types are pretty good at criticizing the Left. But they regrettably use their critique to steer their audience toward the Republican-oriented right-wing. It’s possible to hate Bolsheviks without wanting to preserve the Tsar.
Study: 80% of Americans Believe Political Correctness Is a Problem
Read the study here. It’s excellent. The study confirms two things I had previously thought. One is that PCers are a small minority that is largely concentrated among mostly white, affluent, educated professionals (the left-wing of the upper middle class). The reason they’re so loud is because they […]
Bolton Bashes China Before Upcoming G20 Summit.

Should a Collapsing America Just Break Up?
By Umair Haque Eudaimonia America is ripping itself apart. So much so that I couldn’t help but notice another strange, gruesome, and bizarre turning point in American collapse today. On the heels of Trump mocking Dr Ford, many famous and powerful right-wing extremists were bellowing, for the first […]
For a Less Divided America, Let People Pick Their Own Laws
By J.D. Tuccille Reason After last week’s hearings on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, it became pretty obvious that the questions, answers, tears, and grandstanding had changed few, if any, minds. “Today felt very much like an update of the 1850s: 2 very distinct parts of US that […]
Keith Preston: Nikki Haley originally part of ‘Never Trumper’ camp

Americans Strongly Dislike PC Culture
As I have long suspected, PC is primarily the domain of the left-wing of the upper middle class (roughly the same socioeconomic demographic that Jacobinism and Communism came from). By Yascha Mounk The Atlantic On social media, the country seems to divide into two neat camps: Call them […]

Voluntary Tribalism: Why Not?
By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley I’ve always found it absurd that white nationalists bitch the loudest about identity politics when they’re the winy snowflakes who fucking invented the goddamn concept. White isn’t even a race for Christ sake. There is no Whitestan. There […]

Tucker Carlson Pretends To Be Against Elites On Fox & Friends
Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk has a pretty good critique of Tucker Carlson, and Trumpism generally, that I think is largely accurate, although I disagree with Kulinski’s embrace of Bernie Sanders’ neo-Rooseveltian perspective as the fallback position, and Kulinski clearly does not criticize the Left strongly enough, and […]
The Kavangaugh Debacle Was a Shit Show All Around
The best take on the Kavanaugh mess I’ve seen to date. By Avens O’Brien I haven’t commented much on the whole Kavanaugh issue. I have so many thoughts, and they aren’t perfectly organized or suitable for an article. I wrote this rant out last night while really exhausted, […]

On anarchist economies
By Iain McKay Freedom News Anarchism is generally not associated with economics — and Iain McKay argues that perhaps it’s time the field got more attention. There is no “anarchist” school of economics as there are “Marxist,” “Keynesian” and so on. This does not mean there are no […]
American Dissident: Noam Chomsky on the State of the Empire

Taiwanese authorities arrest Cody Wilson, intend to deport him

Against the System, For the Future
“Periodic crises and wars are used to whip up support for other plunder-reward cycles which in effect tighten the noose around our individual liberties.
