A Latin term meaning âAmerican Peace,â it describes the era of global order shaped largely by the United States after World War II.

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””
The Privilege of Political Performance: Why Shutdown Advocates Don’t Have to Live With the Consequences

The Budget JD: An Unauthorized Knockoff of the Original
There is a peculiar kind of comedy that only history, politics, and coincidence can create together, and it usually arrives uninvited, wearing a suit two sizes too earnest, insisting it is deeply authentic while somehow being entirely derivative. Enter JD Vance, a man whose very initials feel like a bootleg pressed in the back ofContinue reading “The Budget JD: An Unauthorized Knockoff of the Original”

The Weight of the World and the Dread That Never Ends
I hate that phrase â crashing out. Itâs a bit cringe, I know. But lately, honestly, thatâs the best way I can describe how Iâve been feeling. Like Iâve been slowly crashing the fuck out.
