    The Veneer of Civil Society

    The Veneer of Civil Society

    The blatant murder of George Floyd set off a wave of demonstrations and civil unrest. Will this amorphous movement focus on clear demands? The state seems to have responded with violence; have we created a police state, what do we do about it? Slowly we have realized that the delicate balance that maintained order in our society was sitting atop an unstable relationship between the ruling classes and the masses, are we finally waking up to that reality?

    Values or Power

    Values or Power

    About a month ago my friend Djovan Henriques of the Belligerent Nature podcast had me on his show to talk about Tara Reade who had recently been interviewed by Katie Halper so she could voice her allegation of sexual assault against Joe Biden. Since then the story has finally been picked up by mainstream media and it's seemed to have caused some controversy. For Democrats and the mainstream media #MeToo standards seem to have fallen now that the shoe is on the other foot. Can we continue to trust what they say?

    Regaining Class Consciousness

    Regaining Class Consciousness

    We don't really talk about class in America but without class consciousness, we will not be able to understand power well enough to win reforms. The elites have been waging a war against the interests of those who are not privileged enough to be in their class and don't have their free-market orthodoxy. Learning about their tactics is also essential to combat the business offensive and reclaim our democracy.

    Actions Speak Louder Than Words

    Actions Speak Louder Than Words

    Tension is building as some have begun to protest the stay-at-home orders; will we simply chastise them and call them idiots, or can we look a bit deeper at their concerns and try to empathize with them and focus our energy at holding the people with power accountable instead? They ultimately don't trust the government we have today, and frankly, I don't either. Trust is going to be important now more than ever. Will we continue to trust wolves in sheep's clothing, or will we start to make demands and hold our leaders on both sides of the aisle to account.

    Insiders and Outsiders

    Insiders and Outsiders

    In the face of the ongoing crisis, focusing on solutions is the best course of action; however, the transformative change we want cannot be implemented without power. Will we strike the balance between insider and outsider strategy to actually make a change in Washington that will for once benefit the working class? Are our allies who become insiders effectively challenging the powers that be and are we ready to start to take the power to set the narrative away from mainstream media?
