The fact is that, while the mainstream media pays attention to the far right outcry of censorship and demonetization, the left alternative media is also censored and demonetized on…

Japan still has the same royal succession and still denies the atrocities committed during the rape of Nanking... while obviously it’s different, there’s still a problematic and lo…

That discussion is settled. The lie that it isn’t, is continued to oppress and make public the female body to continue her unpaid labor in both reproducing the work force and her u…

I find this advice odd. I have to imagine that part of wanting to be a writer is also being recognized for your creative work as an individual. Telling someone to write documentati…

Another vacuous gray-eige individual with absolutely nothing to say, who feels they need to say something, because a blog somewhere said they should. Rather then turning inward to …

This idea that “people think billionaires are evil” is such a toxic straw man. “People” think that no one person is generating a billion dollars in value, and while being heavily r…

The 4.7 trillion dollars is in reference to "quantitive easing" (which is a euphemism for print money and give it to banks). The problem was 100% bad debts. It is absolutely false …

Being pro democrat is not being left at all. It’s being center right. The left since Carter has pushed forth far right neoliberal economic policy. Bill Clinton is universally known…

We (the USA) have an economy based around taxing the 99% and cutting societal benefits, not limited to just infrastructure. Wall Street doesn't see profits to be made by funding la…
