Capitalism’s inevitable, unavoidable comorbidities are fascism & propaganda, oligarchy & hegemony, designed inequality & classism, environmental devastation and ecosystem-failure, and endless world wars.

All ‘peace’ enjoyed by US citizens is not real, and has never been.

Every time tax-paying, voting, working-class Americans have enjoyed a period of “relative peace”, it has never been true, and was always selective. When you ignore the plight of millions of people who are victims of our wars outside the country, and when you utilize the ready-made, imperialist, America First propaganda that tells you “they deservedContinue reading “All ‘peace’ enjoyed by US citizens is not real, and has never been.”

Virtual Breadlines, and other quintessentially American problems-

At least during the past, before the internet and online ordering, when the breadlines formed and basic supplies became limited you could *see* those breadlines forming, photograph them, and document them in this way. Today, under late-stage capitalism and all it has wrought, the ‘breadlines’ are virtual since most people order online and enjoy, lol,Continue reading “Virtual Breadlines, and other quintessentially American problems-“

Traitor! Tyrant! Abuser, thief, and human-rights violator! #GeneralAction is now! The world sees!

RISE UP! Donald Trump and the fascist goons he commands, who were ready for this for decades, are traitors to this country, even to its questionable founding, and must be opposed at all costs from now until they fall. Everyone should be able to see that now. There is now history-making brutality in nearly everyContinue reading “Traitor! Tyrant! Abuser, thief, and human-rights violator! #GeneralAction is now! The world sees!”

So the capitalist oligarchy is stealing your future, intentionally letting you die. What now?

It becomes increasingly clear that the capitalist oligarchy which influences and controls the US economy, politics, media, labor and production, military, all our mainstream, popular ideologies and narratives, etc, is brazenly looting our economy, and indeed our (the workers who make it all possible) future. We can’t even begin to measure the damage caused byContinue reading “So the capitalist oligarchy is stealing your future, intentionally letting you die. What now?”

No, #generalaction isn’t a neoliberal campaign strategy, nor were Marches for Causes

And other absurdities, intentionally failure-oriented activism strategies, silly commentary, yadda yadda. Today, the intrepid Record Correcting Blue Wave accounts that we’ve all been promised began raging across the social sphere, right on someone’s mark. Today was probably the start of their pay cycle and hourly or per-word billing requirements. So far, I’ve been told –Continue reading “No, #generalaction isn’t a neoliberal campaign strategy, nor were Marches for Causes”

Switching social media gears

So much has happened to everything since last I updated this, and there are so many terrible, terrifying things going on inside Facebook, that I am removing myself from that network for good and beginning a new kind of online presence that I hope will be more on my own terms, and healthier. Right now, IContinue reading “Switching social media gears”

Hello, Im an Atheist.

Hello. Im an Atheist, and I wanted to introduce myself.

Those who call themselves atheists share a lack of belief, but we do not necessarily share anything else. There is no sacred doctrine, there are no ancient scripts to interpretContinue reading “Hello, Im an Atheist.”

Homeopathic remedies redefine what ‘remedy’ means, and how Walgreens caters to the consumer driven market

A hot topic on my agenda recently has been homeopathic remedies, and so I give you a short investigation into what homeopathy really is, and what you are paying for when you drop 15-20 dollars on a bottle of their magic pills. As a bonus, I confronted a Walgreens pharmacist to hear what she hadContinue reading “Homeopathic remedies redefine what ‘remedy’ means, and how Walgreens caters to the consumer driven market”

My lengthy response to a brief debate on cannabis science, legalization

On the 20th of April, here in the beautiful state of California, many of you may have found yourselves at 420 day parties, rallies, or just walking down the street celebrating the near-legality of this amazing substance. I was not one of those people. Instead, I spent half that day at work, and the otherContinue reading “My lengthy response to a brief debate on cannabis science, legalization”
