Remember the Alamo? That historic battle where brave Americans fought against the evil Mexicans and tragically died? Well, that’s not accurate. Actually, they were a bunch of assholes fighting to maintain slavery. …the legend of the Alamo is a Texas tall tale run amok. The actual story is one of White American immigrants to Texas … Continue reading “It’s Time to Forget 9/11”
Just now, I see that popular sentiment has pressured Biden to ask for Democrats to end the filibuster in order to put the right to abortion into law. I don’t think that nullifies the overall spirit of this post and I don’t think it will make one lick of difference in the long term, but … Continue reading “Electoral Politics: Current Conditions”
Some of our members have received a flier in the mail from a Lee’s Summit area politician who is running for the fourth district seat in the US House of Representatives. He says that he is running for “Congress,” presumably to keep from confusing his constituents with the details of how the US government works; … Continue reading “Fascist Dog Whistles in Missouri Political Flier”
The American left is largely focused on racist fascism, and tends to treat racism as both the primary driver of fascism and it’s natural source. That isn’t wrong, but it also is not the way most American fascists are experiencing their own belief system, so it is deficient in terms of coming up with solutions … Continue reading “The Other Fascists”
The Atlantic just published a gem of an essay by Elizabeth Bruenig entitled A Culture That Kills Its Children Has No Future which rails against Americans, generally, for being nihilistic trash. It really resonated with me after spending the last 5 years working against fascism and trying (mostly without success) to get liberals to help … Continue reading “The American Death Cult”
The police think they are the good guys, and that the left, generally, are not just the bad guys, but literally Satanists (based on the fact that Soviet communism was anti-religion). Nevermind that there’s no correlation between being a good person and adherence to any major world religion, but imagine that if your worldview were … Continue reading “Police Infiltrators”
This document attempts to summarize all the things Donald Trump has done wrong. It’s a summary of a huge amount of information, so it is quite long. It was created by an adult person and then edited by the author and an elementary school student. We removed some phrasing that was very inappropriate for kids, … Continue reading “Trump Summary”
There’s an article in Politico by John F. Harris claiming that our new American civil war is based on nothing except two tribes of people deciding that they hate each other. He claims that all other major conflicts in US history were based on a substantive issue, but not this one. Clearly, this man has … Continue reading “Yes, There Are Major Differences Between Democrats and Republicans”
In November of 2020, a freelance journalist named Derek Robertson predicted that Joe Biden’s ongoing return to “normalcy” would put an end to the culture-war rhetoric on the far right. That was pretty dumb, and he’s written a lengthy description of all the ways he was wrong. Robertson might not be the only person who … Continue reading “Our Context: 2022”
In the wake of the 2016 election, there were a lot of self-described reasonable liberals claiming that describing Trump as a fascist was destructive hyperbole. While it is certainly a bad idea to just call everyone you don’t like a fascist, it seemed like in this case, people were using a lot of overly specific … Continue reading “Fascism Pedantry: Is Trump a fascist?”
