The illusion of legitimacy

“The legitimacy of the ruling class – in whatever political form it may take – is based on the illusion that they can protect the people, whether from war, famine, economic hardship, or any other kind of disaster that disrupts the everyday routine of their lives and livelihood.… By attributing the cause of these cosmically-induced...

Heads they win, tails we lose

Some thoughts on cancel culture First, let's get something out of the way: I'm on the "wrong" side of this. The conservative one, more or less, although if I call myself anything, I'd say I'm more like a constitutionalist libertarian. (Socially liberal/economically conservative, all that.) Politically, I'm a leave-me-the-hell-alone-ist. I want a government that's as...

America is stronger than they are

The next four years are going to be difficult and incredibly ugly -- but the illegal occupiers of the White House and the evil cabal behind them aren't going to be having a great time of it, either. None of this is going to go the way they expect. Hell, they've already locked down the...

They remove contrary opinions, deplatform ideas and people they don't want to hear, or just remove comment sections altogether. Why?
