A Problem with Moral Character

Question: is there an underlying, inescapable problem with humanity? A problem so intractable, with a solution so elusive, that it purposes only a slow-grinding suffering as humanity’s eternal fate? Here’s a hint: of the billions and billions of beings who existed during past millennia the vast majority have lived Hobbesian…

Because it’s fixable, it’s worse than you thought.

Things are much worse than you thought, but there is a way out, and that is why things are much worse than you thought. The rich and the powerful in all societies aren’t like the rest of us. Society’s political and economic elites stand outside the human family by virtue…

About a dozen years ago I was an amateur bodybuilder (non-drug). After a contest down at the beach (I came in 2ND) my wife posted several pictures on her Facebook. By the end of the following-day she had over a hundred replies to the pictures. Most of the replies were…

Males, being sexually assaulted.

Males, being sexually assaulted. Question: can a reasonably normal heterosexual male, thirty something, be sexually harassed by a woman? On a number of levels, this is a very tricky proposition. I am somewhat beyond the typical age of romance now and can look back over a number of years and…

Marxism and Dialectical Materialism

Marxism and Dialectical Materialism At the foundation of Marxism is the quite unremarkable idea that change is inevitable. It can be studied, but not prevented. What sets Marxism apart is the way change is studied. Think of the infrastructure of Marxism, then, as based on an empirical methodology that operates…

Why Require ‘Critical Race Theory’ When Whites Love ‘Regular Racist Theory’ So Much?

I’d like to suggest nuancing your essays by more carefully identifying which Whites you are speaking of. Reading your piece reveals the need to identify those Whites of whom you write as reactionary Whites. This small change will help clarify and edify, not to mention subtly placing the blame on reactionary thinking and not on (the White) race.

The Racism of Arresting an 8-Year-Old Black Girl Should Shock The Nation

Reading the ProPublica article in its entirety (it is quite long) dispels some confusion.

Reading the ProPublica article in its entirety (it is quite long) dispels some confusion. That the girls were arrested for NOT doing something was disconcerting. Laws against inaction (nonfeasance) are extraordinarily rare. According to Pro-Publica, the petition for the arrests cited encouraging the fight as the transgression. I’m not excusing the stupidity of what went down but rather I am pointing to a nuance that changes crass stupidity to a legal, racial insidiousness (i.e., institutional racism) that seems to have taken over an entire county of Rutherford, TN. This is worse than stupidity. It’s an entire legal system cleverly crafted to allow for charges of convenience so popular in totalitarian states.

Right on! Many valid points!

Right on! Many valid points! I would only like to point out that not all white people are gatekeepers to wealth and power. Most of us shuffle along to the capitalist drumbeat, like everyone else in the real and true majority (i.e., the working class).

I’m not sure if this is a joke or not, but if not may I suggest that you define your topic (leftism not women) before you launch into a screed. A definition will definitely improve the coherence of the piece, assuming that this is not satire.
