A Prediction I Made About AI Politics That Looks Wrong, and Why the Debate Has Become More Complicated
For a while, I made a political prediction about artificial intelligence that I genuinely thought would come true. I believed conservatives, who often embraced business expansion, rapid technological growth, and market-driven innovation, would remain strongly pro-AI. I also thought liberals, progressives, and leftistsāmany of whom raised early concerns about labor displacement, surveillance, corporate abuse, andContinue reading “A Prediction I Made About AI Politics That Looks Wrong, and Why the Debate Has Become More Complicated”
If Others Wonāt Say It, I Will: This Is Not a Joke
Hereās another thing that absolutely grinds my gears about this whole situation. A lot of leftist, progressive, and left-leaning commentators Iāve listened toāpeople I would normally expect to take worker safety seriouslyāhave been weirdly glib about these arsons. Some are treating it like a joke.Some refuse to condemn it.Some are sympathizing with the arsonist moreContinue reading “If Others Wonāt Say It, I Will: This Is Not a Joke”
In Defense of Using AI as a Tool, Not a Crutch: A Leftist, Progressive, and Personal Reckoning in 2026
Iām going to be painfully, unapologetically honest here, probably more honest than Iāve ever been publicly about this particular topic, and I already know some people are going to be pissed. Some folks are going to feel disappointed. Some are going to accuse me of selling out, of being naive, of being complicit, of beingContinue reading “In Defense of Using AI as a Tool, Not a Crutch: A Leftist, Progressive, and Personal Reckoning in 2026”
Zohran Mamdani Is the Chaos Candidate
Zohran Mamdani is the chaos candidate. And I donāt mean that as an insult. Itās not because of what he believes, or even how he governs, because, letās be honestāif he wins, heās not going to govern as a socialist or a communist. He might use the rhetoric, he might nod to the leftist idealsContinue reading “Zohran Mamdani Is the Chaos Candidate”
Where Are All the Leftists? The Silence Around HasanAbiās Dog Controversy
Itās honestly been bothering me ā the near-total silence from leftists and progressives about the HasanAbi dog situation. Like, where is everyone? Where are all the people who claim to care about compassion, about justice, about standing up for the voiceless? Because right now, it feels like the only people openly discussing the alleged mistreatmentContinue reading “Where Are All the Leftists? The Silence Around HasanAbiās Dog Controversy”
Trumpās Submarine Threat Isnāt Just Reckless ā Itās the Next Chapter in a War Thatās Already Global
So now weāre moving nuclear submarines around because of a social media post? Thatās what Donald Trump did this week. On August 1st, the man who claims heāll ākeep us out of warā ordered two U.S. nuclear submarines to new positions after former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev criticized Trumpās Ukraine policy on Twitter. This isContinue reading “Trumpās Submarine Threat Isnāt Just Reckless ā Itās the Next Chapter in a War Thatās Already Global”
Vote Blue No Matter Who (Unless They’re Actually Blue)
Ah yes, the sacred mantra of the modern Democratic establishment: Vote Blue No Matter Who. It rolls off the tongue like a gospel hymn and is invoked like holy scripture whenever the party trots out its latest barely-coherent compromise candidate. In 2020, that sainted phrase brought us Joe Biden ā a man who somehow combinedContinue reading “Vote Blue No Matter Who (Unless They’re Actually Blue)”
No More Half-Measures: Why I’m Not Cheering for Zohran Mamdani
Iām done with half-measures. Iām done with the hollow victories. Iām done with celebrating incremental changes from a party that was never built for real transformation. The Democratic Party has long promised progress, and even when it delivers, the progress is fragileāeasily reversed the moment the political winds shift. Iāve watched it happen again andContinue reading “No More Half-Measures: Why I’m Not Cheering for Zohran Mamdani”
