What capitalism has ultimately succeeded in doing is branding economic oppression as “Freedom.” The Left [what’s left of The Left…]really needs to appreciate the degree to which all the progressive ideals and emancipatory lifestyles which emerged in the 60s have been fully integrated into the ruling capitalist ideology. Meaningless slogans like “Make America Great Again” […]
It is astonishing that the mainstream media [MSM] in the USA still cling to such obvious absurdities as the “lone gunman” theory of JFK’s assassination; a scenario which could only have been possible in an alternative universe, where the laws of Physics cease to exist. Kennedy was clearly killed by the head shot that came […]
“Alexa, I’m a moron.” Amazon acknowledged this week that some of its Alexa-enabled devices have developed a new skill: creeping out their owners with unwarranted bursts of robotic laughter. The outbursts come at unexpected times – often in the middle of the night. Customers have been terrified. The company received hundreds of complaints. Amazon knows […]
Public schools in Florida will soon be required by law to post the state’s motto – “In God We Trust” – on all public buildings and campuses where students and staff can see them. The House voted on the legislation 97 to 10, with members standing and applauding the results – after somehow also finding […]
And while we’re on the subject of hypocrisy, tRump has been saying since 2016 that he wanted to abolish gun-free zones. At a campaign stop in Virginia in January of that year he claimed, “I will get rid of gun-free zones on schools, and — you have to — and on military bases.” To scattered […]
I have an idea. How about next time we elect a President who knows that governments can’t be run like a fucking corporation, okay? Somebody who maybe understands that the US Presidency ain’t no ‘reality TV’ show. You know: a person with integrity, morals, many years of public service, and perhaps prior experience in several […]
The reason the GOP hate college so much is because college-educated people are less likely to vote against their own interests. College grads generally have more critical thinking skills than the average moron (although not always…) and the good students can see through the lies peddled by the neocons. The average students…not so much… Because […]
So many Americans are getting all steamed up about professional athletes showing some social conscience and kneeling (or whatever) as a show of support and concern over what is indeed a very troublesome aspect of our society. The main protest is in support of victims of police violence against black people, but clearly there are […]
Our current “president’s” family legacy is so vile that WOODY GUTHRIE – one of America’s greatest social commentators and Folksingers – actually wrote songs about Trump’s racist scumbag father Fred over a half-century ago. Regarded as one of the most significant figures in American folk music, many of Woody Guthrie’s songs are classics, including “This […]
It turns out that all men who have the slightest bit of power abuse it. Duh. Men are scum! This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. Modern society is still dominated by the 5,000-year-old ‘Warrior’ culture which has been passed down through families for centuries from father to son to son to son. It […]
