What the Mediocre Joe Biden Represents
Tom Woods and Dan McCarthy discuss Dementia Man. Listen here. In the midst of the pandemic Joe Biden has become invisible, even more of a nonentity than usual. Dan McCarthy has an intriguing take on what the mediocre, uninspiring Biden truly represents. Article Discussed “Joe Biden Is The […]
IdeoLogs: Interview With a National Anarchist
How do you define anarchy? Is it about no government or no “unjust hierarchies” for you? First, let me say that I am only speaking for myself, and not for any organization, or any movement as a whole. I would define anarchism as a form of social […]
Fear and Loathing in Coronaville Volume 6: Rage Against the Quarantine or How I Learned to Start Worrying and Swear About It On the Internet
Check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5. By Nicky Reid aka Comrade Hermit Exile in Happy Valley You motherfucker! You goddamn, cocksucking, clitlicking, shiteating, dickless, cuntless, gutless, motherfucking piece of fucking shit!! Ahem, sorry about that, dearest motherfuckers, but apparently on day […]
The New “Far Left”?
During the 1990s, I began to realize that the American left was increasingly being incorporated into the institutional mainstream, and was becoming entirely co-opted by the ruling class. This was evidenced by, for example, the widespread left-wing support for the US government’s massacre at Waco in 1993, acquiescence […]
Who Wins Or Loses When Global Order Breaks Down?
As the US Empire recedes due to overextension and internal implosion, it seems the emerging multipolar world order will look something like this: In North America, the US will obviously be the hegemon with Canada and Mexico as its satellites. In South America, the richest country, Argentina, will […]
How Bernie & Squad Actually Support Corporate State. w/Chris Hedges
Chris Hedges is way too much of a sanctimonious lefto-moralist for my tastes (he is a Presbyterian minister after all), but he’s good on imperialism and corporatism. It’s great the way Chris calls out Sanders as a Schumer-lackey in this.
Cornel West: Trump Is A Fascist And A Gangster
So Trump presents the state in a realistic and accurate manner, minus all of the usual do-gooder pageantry.
Twitter Suspends Green Party Presidential Candidate’s Twitter For No Reason
The Tech Oligarchy works to block any opposition to the Bidenists. The Greens are milquetoast reformists overrun by SJWs, and not my cup of tea at all, but it’s funny how the Tech Oligarchy wants to makes sure things are rigged on behalf of Dementia Man.
More Sunshine, Less Virus and Are You Really Safer At Home?
In North Korea, the Fourth Man Could Be a Woman
By Barbara Demick New Yorker Amid reports of Kim Jong Un’s failing health, it appears that the most obvious successor to rule the country, despite its sexist political system, is his sister, Kim Yo Jong. Photograph from Bloomberg / Getty The conventional wisdom is that a woman could […]
Orange Man vs. Dementia Man in a Heel vs. Heel Cage Match
“Important takeaways from this article: Many higher up Republicans secretly wish Trump would just keep his mouth shut for as long as possible. Many higher up Democrats secretly think there best chance of Biden winning is for him to stay in quarantined in his basement for as long […]
A Short History Of Anarchism
Max Nettlau’s classic is now available. Max Nettlau was the most proficient, and still is the most important, chronicler of anarchism. This one volume (at 400 pages) introduction to the history of anarchist ideas and early movements, summarizing the author’s monumental 9-volume history and several biographies, is the […]
Why More Men Are Dying From COVID-19 Than Women – A Geneticist Explains
By Jenny Graves The Conversation All over the world – in China, Italy, the United States and Australia – many more men than women are dying from COVID-19. Why? Is it genes, hormones, the immune system – or behaviour – that makes men more susceptible to the disease? […]

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.

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 […]
