The Hot Air Machine

          YET another shooting has occurred and taken over the airways. 19 innocent children and two teachers have been killed in cold blood. This is by all means a tragedy, and even the people with the most depraved and politicized responses to this event acknowledge that deep down. One of the most disturbing details is how the oh-so-noble “Thin Blue Line” dilly-daddled for nearly an hour before an exasperated Border Patrol agent went in and ended it . However, just as with all tragedies, the Establishment media has not taken long to contort this one and use it to advance the abridgement of our property rights ( which justifies self-defense ). Social media is positively blowing up in response to this, and I feel obliged to make a statement regarding such a significant event.           What I feel most compelled to speak about is the root of this crime. While so many left-wing pundits and politicians are already...

  I’VE been thinking of how to introduce this article for some time now. The concept at the center of this is a very unique one, one that only I have ventured to cover in detail, as far as I know. That being said, this means there is no clear precedent for me to take from in order to structure this text. However, I will try my best. To anyone even slightly cognizant of the outside world it is clear that the political climate has changed quite drastically over the last half-century.

Although, that is more so the political process , if anything. The political system is met directly by the citizenry via the new art of activism/civil unrest that has caught the World by storm . Politics has certainly changed. Its rules, its ways, its etiquette, all these things have undergone a shift. Society has been impacted by these changes similarly a...

  IN response to the repeated failures of socialist countries - whether from economic or political crises - the favorite rescuing device of far-left apologists is to cry, “It wasn’t real socialism!” Since it, ostensibly, wasn’t true, orthodox socialism, then we don’t know what it’s like for true socialism to be implemented, meaning we can’t critique practical (in contrast to theoretical) socialism. This recourse is, of course, fallacious, and can be refuted in three easy ways: Noting how socialists, in other contexts, will refer to these countries as sources of socialist pride. Noting how historical socialists, contemporaneous with these regimes, affirmed their socialist nature. Responding in kind, “Well, they certainly weren’t capitalist!” The final point is my favorite, especially since I made it. Socialist apologists might assert that these nations had capitalist characteristics, or were forms of “state capitalism”. However, you either have - exclusively - capitalism or so...
