The first domino falls in the Durham probe. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/durham-probe-ex-fbi-lawyer-to-plead-guilty-in-first-criminal-case-arising...
Until now we’ve justified it with the concept of rights, in this case the right that the worker has to the value he has created by his own labor. Man ...
Someone to appease the donor class and someone for the media to faun over. That’s all the Dems need. Now they can run the campaign on “making history”...
The article embraces Anti-americanism, formed, as it was, from afar, from an insulated view, and through the lens of a hostile media. Sweeping general...
No, that’s not what I want. I just mean that most if not all of the skills needed to perform the work of professionals within many institutions could ...
I don’t think expertise and “eliteness” can be measured by formal credentials. Rather, I think positions of power and influence should be open to anyo...
The “elite” have proven they are not equipped to govern. All they can do is talk, and as such, can only sing lullabies about this or that while they d...
If we measure the spatiotemporal existence and its effects, “the internal monologue of our minds” is nothing in comparison to our concrete behavior an...
Trump trimming more fat. Trump moves to overhaul Tennessee Valley Authority leadership https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-to-overhaul-overhaul-tenness...
I don’t think violence is justified, nor can I consider it a form of protest. However I think leaving the country is entirely justified. If the social...
I'm not sure we can equivocate anti-authoritarianism with anti-authority because an authority is capable of defending rather than limiting individual ...
That’s one of the things I enjoy about western culture in general, and American culture in particular. It has more or less vanquished its monsters. We...
It’s true. The melting-pot vs multicultural society is an interesting dichotomy. I have trouble identifying as Canadian despite my citizenship, no mat...
I’m a little too cynical to believe any one group of people is capable of such a conspiracy. So I have to attribute the behavior to some form or other...
Perhaps. I’m more American than Canadian. I suppose that’s the benefit of a multicultural society—I get to retain my culture at the expense of a new o...
Like “classical liberalism“, yes, but I would just call it liberalism. Rather than compromise between the tendencies of right and left with all sorts ...
I’m just a liberal. I do not align with a conservative’s social or even fiscal attitudes. Though I find valuable insight from many conservative thinke...
All of which was borne out by the results. He was right. As Barr said in his most recent testimony, he used the language "stepping down" (not "resign"...
By statism I mean the belief that the state should have substantial control over social and economic affairs. Those who advocate for it advocate for a...
Trump has 25 pardons, 11 commutations. Compare that to Obama's 212 pardons, and 1,715 commutations. So big deal. Barr said Trump has never asked him t...
I like your thinking here. I do agree that the right has co-opted "the discourse centered around freedom", but mostly because the other side has large...
The president is not a journalist and never has been, so holding him to the same standards as the people who are employed to inform us is stupid at be...
If one is anti-authoritarian he must also dislike coercion, which I think places him on the spectrum of the liberty-minded. What do you think of the c...
Yes. Disgraced journo Claas Relotius of one of Europe’s most influential magazines peddled lies to its readers about the president and his supporters....
The media industrial complex had a little more credibility back then, let’s be honest. Just look at the lies of that Der Speigel journo. The fakest of...
He can whip up the hostile press while running the most powerful nation the world has ever seen. Pretty amazing. One cannot say that about anyone else...
I can’t wait. Mass mail-in voting is ripe for voter fraud (ballot harvesting for instance), but given the delays of the NY primary with its own mail-i...
Trolled by the president. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1288932940337090561?s=21 But it’s in a good way. With one tweet the president rev...
It would be a shitstorm. But the president cannot delay the election, so it’s an absurd idea. The events you describe might also occur with universal ...
Trump can rile up the media and his critics with a single tweet, in this case raising the question about delaying the election. Meanwhile news about t...
We all knew this was going to happen but we locked everything down anyway. Those who mocked and derided those worried about the economy can now witnes...
Well said. Often the claim of “privilege” is used as a cudgel or snarl word rather than an accurate description of one’s standing, especially when it ...
