The dear progressive author won't go that far, but he is happy to admit the current progressive theories are seriously flawed, if n... |

| A long, but interesting take on the alt-right/reactionary movement, from the point of view of a progressive. http://slatestarcodex.com/2013/03/03/reactionary-philosophy-in-an-enormous-planet-sized-nutshell/ It's always pleasing when people take up the challenge of explaining your opponents position ... |

| The reason all those dark skinned people that old Enoch P was worried about came to Britain was not the excesses of the left but the inevitable end of the British Empire. If you didn't want all those Asians in the Midlands, you should not have taken up the white man's burden with such gusto in the ... |

| A bit of a stretch Barchan, as low as my opinion is of modern law enforcement, I do not think most police violence is carried out for fun, pleasure or personal gain. It is mostly driven by fear of violence directed towards themselves, a real threat to officers in rougher parts. Obviously these are t... |

| What is truly not being said about NATO/Russia tensions is everything that NATO and its concomitant institutions (the EU being the most important) are doing to piss Russia off. When you take off the 3D Hitler-glasses the Western media hands out whenever they are talking about Putin, Russia's actions... |
