Anarchist "exuberant." Really into exploring the roots of things and expanding degrees of freedom. Incurable woke moralist. Floating metal sphere. “Radically uncool.”

Hey, I wrote a book.

Did The Science Wars Take Place?

Covers the history and philosophy of a fight in the 80s & 90s between some postmodernists and scientists, with an eye to anarchist interests and lasting political influences among the far-right.

The genealogy of this shit is wild because like he's really open about pulling from certain european socialists who fetishized the medieval pre-industrial period, and then going like yeah, totally, let's do that to 11.

this is a comically textbook example of how totalitarians think - the masses are mere clay, mindless; might makes right; the world is run via conspiracy and endless propaganda.

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

Rockwell would have painted this.
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

This is not, in the patriarch's view, hypocritical at all.

To them, women and children are property and a man is entitled to do as he wishes with his own property, including destroy it.
You can’t have an abortion but you can kill your grown daughter if she disagrees with you
A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.

A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.

Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

In either case, the weirdo outliers seem to be the non-fare-hoppers, since there are fare-hopper's unions in Europe, and indeed the left there is pretty infamously more intense about supporting such struggles than in the US.

Okay, that makes more sense, I guess it's weird to think of not-hopping as a more, rather than hopping as a more.

Of course I just totally fail to see starving the state of money as "anti-social" but I think for most american leftists the instinct is more "When I see an actual flesh-and-blood graffiti artist in conflict with his natural enemy, the policeman, I do not have to ask myself which side I am on."
February 12, 2026 at 2:21 AM
I'd love to crow that America is more anarchist, but both that and "social mores from men with guns" are just completely disconnected from the reality that the american Left is less about the proletariat and more about the lumpen. No graffito tagger or fare-hopper is packing heat, that's silly.

There's obviously a few people at Reason who are fine/good (Jesse!) but jesus christ the fake ass equivalencies, nonstop downplaying the threat, pandering to Robby's horrible fanbase, denouncing those actually resisting fascists... it adds up to complicity.

Kind of weird as well that he is so familiar with the fiction written by obscure Neo-Nazi Harold Covington, who, as you can see, isn't exactly well known even in white nationalist circles.

The guy certainly has a thing for obscure anti-semites. I wonder why that is...

OpenAI fired one of its top safety execs, on the grounds of sexual discrimination, after she voiced opposition to the controversial rollout of AI erotica in its ChatGPT product.

OpenAI told her the term was related to her sexual discrimination against a male colleague.

Yeah that's like such whaddaboutism. Like everyone knows that the information space is filled with trivially fake accusations of antisemitism against anti-zionists. That in no way means we should ignore those leftists pushing antisemitic narratives or outright memes. Three Way Fight.

As long as antifa has existed, antifascist scholars have been writing about antisemitism in the left. (This is hardly a point exclusive to postleftists, and indeed there's been antisemitism among postleftists too.) Spencer Sunshine, to give just one name, has written a ton on examples and dynamics.

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

I'm tired of people lying about a Genocide that didn't happen in Gaza.

I'm tired of people ignoring other Genocides that ACTUALLY HAPPENED in other parts of the world. (Artsakh anyone??)

I'm tired of posters, particularly on this website, attacking Jews just because they're Jews.
