• Americans Must Choose Between A Renaissance And A Retreat

  Insert fork-in-the-road analogy here. Whatever that analogy is, it was inevitable. The last time we stood here, we opted for the “Civil War” path. We all know how that turned out. It was bloody and brutal and catastrophic. While it formally ended slavery – a very good thing – it didn’t actually end slavery; it […]

• Literal Pages Ripped From “The Conservative Playbook”

  It’s not a coincidence that conservatives are far, far better at marching in lock step than liberals or progressives – or even independents. Across cultures, conservatism produces better goose-steppers than progressivism ever could even on progressivism’s very “best day”. It all comes down to the Playbook. Conservatives have one while progressives and independents don’t. That’s […]

• White Supremacy Is The Thing Conservatives Really Want To Conserve

  I take conservatives at their word. Well, at their name: conservatives want to conserve. Fair enough. The obvious question is “what”. WHAT do conservatives want to conserve? Just to narrow it down – we know it can’t be the future, it doesn’t exist yet. There’s nothing to conserve. That limits conservable things to the present […]

• Hey, White People, Go Back Where YOU Came From!

  Here’s the biggest open secret there is: the thing driving America’s national crisis to its boiling point is racism. In America, that only means one thing: white people being racist toward literally everyone else. Our problem isn’t Black people hating on Asian people, Asian people hating on Latinos, Latinos hating on Jews or Jews hating […]

• How To Beat Tribalism? Be Even MORE “Tribal”

  Humans are tribal by nature; it’s a survival instinct. Since reproduction is one of our key “primal directives”, our genome has built into it behaviors that give our personal DNA every chance to create a next version of “us”. After our own precious ass, our family’s ass comes next in the pecking order. Then our […]

• Feelings v Facts

  News flash: feelings and facts are NOT the same thing. The earth is round (roundISH actually). That’s a fact. It just “is”. That I however insist, all evidence to the contrary, the earth is flat — that’s a feeling. Same goes for the sun rising in the east. I may, for some reason, get it […]

• Are There More Atheists Out There Than We Think?

  Step One: define “atheist”. Step Two: since, one way or another, everyone can be seen by someone else as an atheist, “yes”. There are way more atheists in the world than we acknowledge. In fact, some of the most theistic people we all know, are, in their way, the most a-theistic, too. But there are […]

• We Should Give Republicans & Conservatives The America They Want — But Only If We Put A Wall Around It First

  As we watch our Democratic Republic slowly sink beneath the waves of corruption, let’s play a thought experiment. What if we could “give” Republicans & conservatives the country they want America to be? What if we could arrange so that if you want to live in Trump’s America, you go live in the south. Want […]
