What the fuck is wrong with Millennials? The choice wasn’t too difficult, was it? You had the opportunity to elect the first (admittedly flawed) female president of the United States; You had a misogynist psychopath unworthy of holding public office running for president. WTF? Okay, Bernie Sanders would have won by a landslide but the Dems railroaded […]
This is really it. There is no hope left for this country. Year after year, I voted for HOPE and CHANGE and this is what happens: Outright fascism. Well played, America! I’ve considered this possibility for quite some time, but somehow I never thought the country could sink this low. Rather than a slow, measured […]
America’s educational system is a fraud. The lie begins in elementary school and continues through graduate school. But why complain? Our whole society is built on massive fraud. This is because the neocons took over college administrations just as they took over local governments and local schoolboards. The “educated” elite never cared about doing anything good […]
I support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, but I don’t see it having any real impact on US-Israeli relations. Passing laws which boycott companies doing business with Israel is an important short-term objective, but history shows that these measures are of little consequence. American firms have routinely subverted trade sanctions from the days of […]
Most westernized countries treat their citizens to a far higher standard of living than the US. In addition, and they have much more freedom of choice, despite what most Americans believe. In the EU they have free healthcare, free college, paid sick leave and mandatory vacations, faster, free internet, better newspapers, better magazines, better cars, […]
On the eve of the two-month anniversary of the Pulse massacre – where we lost 49 people killed inside an LGBTQ nightclub, Donald Trump and Marco Rubio spoke at an anti-LGBT summit in Orlando called Rediscovering God in America Renewal Project. Although The Don did make an appearance, it was the disgraced Marco Rubio who made the […]
America’s reaction to the Black Lives Matter(BLM) movement has been baffling. If millions of black people are saying they feel threatened by the police – shouldn’t that be a cause for concern? Instead of reaching out and trying to understand and then work on alleviating those fears the police have behaved like thugs, not BLM. They […]
Colin Kaepernick is taking a knee for his beliefs. I respect him for that. The whole pseudo-controversy surrounding Kaepernick’s mild protest is simply another meaningless side-show meant to divert America’s attention from matters of real importance. These incidents merely serve to further indoctrinate the country’s already docile masses and inculcate them with even more nationalistic […]
That headline should have been plastered across America’s newspapers last week. If we still had newspapers. Earlier this month, the National Conference of State Legislators – a bipartisan government watchdog organization – declared that the reform efforts of individual states in the wake of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) had been a miserable failure. According […]
Sandernistas, Clintonites and Trumpanzees: these are all useful idiots for the American empire. Let’s be clear about America’s so-called “democracy” and “freedom of choice”: we have neither. I can’t understand how anyone thinks they have any kind of choice in a country of 260 million people that can only muster two parties with two slightly […]
