When Progressives Profit From the Language of Oppression: Why We Can’t Accept Harm Just Because It Comes From Our “Side”

There’s a moment that keeps replaying in my mind, one that crystallizes everything wrong with how some progressives have started to operate, how they’ve convinced themselves that the rules don’t apply to them as long as their targets are sufficiently deserving. It happened recently with Secular Talk, when Kyle Kulinski posted a video covering AlexContinue reading “When Progressives Profit From the Language of Oppression: Why We Can’t Accept Harm Just Because It Comes From Our “Side””

When Political Theater Becomes Human Tragedy: The Democrats’ Shutdown Gambit Over ICE

There’s a special kind of rage that comes from watching the same political disaster unfold twice, especially when the architects of that disaster somehow convince themselves that repeating their failures constitutes strategy. We’re watching it happen again, right now, as Democrats position themselves for another government shutdown, this time theatrically centered around Immigration and CustomsContinue reading “When Political Theater Becomes Human Tragedy: The Democrats’ Shutdown Gambit Over ICE”

Why I Still Don’t Trust Antifa: A Leftist Perspective

In my first post, I took a shot at Antifa—mostly for its aesthetics. I was going through a lot at the time and didn’t really know why I had such a strong reaction, but I still stand by what I said. Now, I want to elaborate because I think it’s important to address the deeperContinue reading “Why I Still Don’t Trust Antifa: A Leftist Perspective”

Irami Osei-Frimpong’s Dangerous Descent: From Commentary to Xenophobic Rhetoric in 2026

There comes a point in observing any public commentator when you have to stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. For Irami Osei-Frimpong, that point has long passed. What started as occasional questionable takes has devolved into a pattern of deeply problematic rhetoric that demands attention and accountability. His latest video, titled “Stop ListeningContinue reading “Irami Osei-Frimpong’s Dangerous Descent: From Commentary to Xenophobic Rhetoric in 2026”

THIS IS MAMDANI’S MOMENT — AND HE CAN’T FUCK IT UP

This post builds directly on what I wrote yesterday, because the situation has already escalated in a way that exposes something bigger than Trump alone. As of January 4th, 2026, Donald Trump didn’t just launch an illegal and reckless attack on Venezuela. He doubled down by dragging NicolĂĄs Maduro into New York City to faceContinue reading “THIS IS MAMDANI’S MOMENT — AND HE CAN’T FUCK IT UP”

IMPEACH THIS FUCKER

I’m writing this on January 4th, 2026, one day after what I can only describe, based on everything that has been reported, discussed, leaked, spun, denied, and half-acknowledged, as an illegal and reckless attack on Venezuela ordered by Donald J. Trump. And no, I’m not calm about it. I’m not measured. I’m not interested inContinue reading “IMPEACH THIS FUCKER”

A Few Days Into the Year: The Political Hangover Nobody Wants to Talk About

A few days into the new year is when the political noise settles into something more honest. The speeches have ended, the think pieces have slowed just enough to breathe, and the artificial optimism that gets stapled onto January starts to peel away. What’s left isn’t hope or despair, exactly. It’s something duller, heavier, andContinue reading “A Few Days Into the Year: The Political Hangover Nobody Wants to Talk About”

The Ridiculousness of the State of Internet Politics: How “Bad Takes” Are Used to Excuse Harmful Rhetoric

In today’s polarized political landscape, particularly within internet circles, there’s a concerning trend that demands attention. It’s the growing habit of excusing harmful or irresponsible political rhetoric by dismissing it as nothing more than “having a bad take.” This phenomenon has become a powerful tool for some of the most prominent figures in the onlineContinue reading “The Ridiculousness of the State of Internet Politics: How “Bad Takes” Are Used to Excuse Harmful Rhetoric”

I Have No Enemies: A Reflection on Radical Empathy and Compassion

“I have no enemies.” This quote from Vinland Saga echoed through my mind recently when I stumbled upon it in a video by Brittany Simon. Brittany used it to reflect on how many so-called progressives, especially progressive men, harbor vitriol and hatred toward those they consider their enemies. It struck a chord with me because,Continue reading “I Have No Enemies: A Reflection on Radical Empathy and Compassion”

Radical Compassion Doesn’t Mean Forgiving the Irredeemable

Radical empathy and radical compassion are central to my philosophy, anarcho-compassionism. They call for seeing others fully, understanding their struggles, their fears, their backgrounds, and even the ways they hurt others. They ask us to listen deeply, to hold space for humanity in all its forms, and to recognize that everyone, even oppressors, is shapedContinue reading “Radical Compassion Doesn’t Mean Forgiving the Irredeemable”
