RE: Is Ben Shapiro "Alt-Right?"
Shapiro is far from being "radical" or "reactionary." None of these silly labels are coming from a place of reason. People who label others are doing so for psychological reasons.

RE: DLive: White House Retracts Putin Invite Which He Already Rejected
This is obviously Putin's response to Trump's "would/wouldn't" clarification. Are we still saying that Trump is a Putin puppet or is it time to finally admit all of the Russia hysteria is horsecrap?

RE: DLive: Elon Musk Has a REALLY BAD "Journalism" Idea
I think that you two drastically underestimate the number of people who are genuinely aware of what good news is and how bad what they are getting is and why. I also think you fail to identify the

RE: Plea to Reality (original poetry)
Always feel like I'm struggling to catch up when I read your stuff, much the same as when I listened to Jim Morrison lyrics for the first time, like you're out way ahead leading the reader on a dream quest.

Again, the answers to almost everything you asked in this I have already stated. You simply aren't reading and trying to digest what I'm saying. Instead you're reading looking for a way to say what you

The premise of this entire post is based upon a few common illusions. The first illusion is that progress in the west is a result of "free market" capitalism. No. We have not been running some
