The Rifle on the Wall: A Left Argument for Gun Rights (Reprise)

In light of the mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde, and because I’m a glutton for punishment, I’m re-posting my left argument for gun rights from 2017. (One among many. See links at end of article) Some points covered in the article: -The class concept of the state. It’s not…

What Good Are Notebooks? Life During Wartime Censorship

After seeing the news about, and doing a radio segment on, the new Disinformation Governance Board and PayPal blocking the accounts of Caleb Maupin, Mnar Adley, Alan MacLeod, and MintPress News, I now see that PayPal has “ permanently limited,” and may seize, the account of Consortium News, “because of”-get…

Ukraine Negotiation Kabuki

Though they are not given much of a voice in the mainstream media, many people oppose US/NATO sending more arms to Ukraine and oppose direct Western military intervention, because they see that such actions would only prolong an inevitably lost fight “to the last Ukrainian” and/or they do not think…
