    Right Left and The center

    Where exactly does the left, right, and center lay in politics? Being right wing in japan isn't the same as being right wing in venezuela. Being pro something might be seen as right wing in one place and left wing in others. For example, obama high income taxes for the us its seem as a very...

    The People v. The U.S. Dollar

    ~Essay originally published on Substack & Medium~ Inflation has forced many Americans into a debt-based lifestyle. Everyday ecommerce transactions reflect this reality: At the end of nearly every purchase sits a "buy now, pay later" option ready to tap cash-strapped consumers. In fact...

    2024 U.S. Presidential Election General Thread

    I was suprised to see no one made a thread about this yet, hopefully this'll be a good one. The 2024 U.S. Presidential election is shaping up to be even more contentious than 2020. Some conservatives are acting like Trump has it in the bag while polls claim a more even split. Additionally...

    Choose Life; or, The Problem with Young Men and Video Games

    I originally wrote this back in 2020, but my wife reminded me of it when she found this bullshit from Bloomberg Opinion in her RSS feeds: "Young Men Are Gaming More. Are They Working Less?" If this be a schizopost, make the most of it. This rant is going to meander a bit. Either go with it...

    Any Good Books About Maoism?

    I'm trying to get a good understanding of Maoism but I have no clue what sources are trustworthy. I mainly want to learn about the ideology rather than like the history of Maoism.

    I figure internet centralization was the cause for all the cultural problems we see today.

    I think it's well acknowledged by now that Tumblr and 4chan were the breeding grounds for the respective wings of terminally online unreasonable left and right-wingers through the 2010s. But think about it, would a bunch of teenage girls just be naturally inclined to talking about manspreading...

    Fart Police: A Sociopolitical Analysis

    The Amazing Fart Police, is a story which has probably touched us all in some way, whether we choose to admit it or not. This work truly gets down to the bowels of Gregory Heffley's magnificent genius, which he humbly displays within his work, which is really a commentary on industrialisation...

    On Government

    There have been a lot of political thinkers, social commentators, and philosophers over the ages whether Plato and Aristotle or Locke and Hobbes or Marx and Engels. I generally take after Aristotle's tripartite model for the types of governments, but since I figure people would want more options...

    Ptolemy - "Dead Society Theory" (video)

    User Moon-Watcher777 posted a thread with a video from a YouTube channel named Ptolemy a couple months ago "Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost." In this video Ptolemy borrows from dead internet theory arguing that most discourse is manufactured and the world is becoming more sterile and...

    The Filipino people voted Bongbong Marcos, son of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, into presidency. What's next? God knows.

    Albeit not probably as brutal as his father, the fact stands that this faggot has been voted by the majority of the Philippines and it stands that he's going to most likely strain our foreign relations even further. The fear most of us in the Filipino OSINT community is that this guy being...

    Thoughts on Monarchy vs Republicanism?

    Which system of government do you prefer and what are the pros/cons of each system? The fact that Freemasons (lead by the Age of Discovery and the Age of Enlightenment) often exerted a form of esoteric power to back very bloody "revolutions" in countries to overthrow the Monarchy for secular...
