Trade wars are often depicted as a conflict between countries. But as Klein and Pettis argue in their acute analysis of the global economy, a trade war is a conflict within a country, transposed, wrongly, as a conflict between countries. In the process ordinary people like Americans that voted for President Trump, are led to believe tha…
In a stunning display of hypocrisy, British PM Keir Starmer, the same Keir Starmer who has been sending bombs and military equipment to Israel for the last 17 months, has “urged”, not threatened or sanctioned but “urged”, Israel to lift restrictions on aid and electricity to Gaza after Israel’s energy minister Eli Cohen blocked both.
It’…

When you proclaim that anti-Zionism is antisemitism and then Zionism murders tens of thousands of children, you are naturally going to see a rise in "antisemitism" as you have defined it. That's all this whole "antisemitism crisis" narrative has been from the very beginning.
Zionism is not a religion, it's a fucking political ideology. It's always legitimate to criticize a political ideology. Saying it's evil forbidden speech to express disdain for Zionism is the same as saying it's evil forbidd…

If I could offer advice to anyone it’s simple: too many words. Brevity is next to godliness. So many substackers bore me before they get to the point. Stop it. Working for a newspaper we had word counts. Just because the internet allows you to overwrite, stop it. My advice? Crisp piece, 350 words. 750 for more expansive. You’d better have something important to say to get to 1,000 words.
A parable of our society. Believing that patent madness is overcome by good intentions. Letting violent vagrants roam our streets and hoping that they'll follow their "better angels." Mutilating children in the vain belief that we're gods and can alter their sex on whim. Opening our borders to uneducated, third world hordes and pretending we'll still be America. Releasing violent sociopaths and defunding police departments. Basing our energy grid on pinwheels and panels, with a blind eye to the…
Democrats are pagan savages.
Unlike moral people, they extract a feeling of virtue only from permissiveness and tolerance. As such, the more extreme the thing they tolerate the more virtuous they feel. That’s why this will continue to descend into hell.
Pedophilia is standing in the on-deck circle right now swinging a giant dildo instead of a baseball bat.
“Nothing is true and everything is permitted.”
IS the Democrat creed. It’s also a quote from an Arab warlord who died in the 1100s.
They are barbarians.
If you tolerate crime, you will be ruled by criminals.
If you tolerate corruption, you will be ruled by corrupt people.
If you tolerate degeneracy, you will be ruled by degenerates.
This is the solution to Paradox of Tolerance. Tolerance, by itself, is not a virtue.
And if You worship guns You will be ruled and killed by the gun.
Just because someone has a gun does not mean they worship the gun or violence. Look at all the major oppressive murdering regimes and what was the first thing they did? They completely disarmed their population.
I did not say that. Some people have a rational relationship to their firearms, they see as a tool they might need for hunting, sport or job. But in the US there way too many people with a very irrational relationship to their guns, creating a violence based ideology around gun ownership. I'm talking about the ones who love to pose with their arsenal, wanting to display their gun in public or just wanna talk about their little darlings all the time in NRA meetings. These are the ones we need to…
You are making assumptions about people who own guns without facts to back it up. "In the US there are way too many people with an irrational relationship to their guns". How do you know that? Have you personally interviewed every gun owner? Your comments are over reaching. You are talking about a SMALL MINORITY who go around posing with their guns. It's a gross exaggeration.
