    United States Supreme Court Watch

    This is the likely the last week in which SCOTUS will hand down opinions until next year. Currently, there are 10 cases left, and as usual, the last opinions to be issued tend to be big ones: EDIT: The Case Summaries also have the result of the case right below the summary, a link to a...

    History Zen and the Art of Divebombing, or, the Dark Side of the Tao: Why did Japan go so crazy in WW2?

    https://friesian.com/divebomb.htm (Note, not by me.) TL;DR: Zen teaches one to become a tool, but doesn't actually consider what one might do as such a tool, and some tools are designed for violence. So Zen cannot convey morality, and Japan, which built its culture on Zen, was fatally flawed...

    Breaking News Colorado Gay Club Shooting

    So apparently some asshole decided to shoot up a gay bar (you can find the name, and it's a pretty white fucking name). Congrats, you've fucked up both the antiwoke movement (the only thing the guy likely cares about) and killed a bunch of innocent people. What an idiot scumbag. Oh, and he just...

    Protecting And Serving: Cop (mis)behavior and consequences general discussion

    So I note that there's a lot of these that show up in the Five minutes of hate news thread, so I figured I'd make a thread that could focus on cops, specifically in regard to abuses of power. Obviously, the situation in Uvalde is a big example, but there are other big and small examples nearly...

    United States Desantis or Trump: 2024?

    Which would you rather see as the 2024 Republican nominee, and why? Personally, I'd prefer Desantis. Trump was fine with lockdowns, and that's pretty damning to me. Also, I think Desantis wins with a commanding majority, while Trump has a clear chance of losing vs a strongish dem candidate, if...

    United States Predictive Policing, or why Cops aren't your friend

    Very good argument for ACAB, tbf. Each and every cop doing this should be arrested. Literally a social credit score. Fortunately, the Institute for Justice is actually doing something about this.

    Obergefell discussion

    There are prochoice Republicans though, especially in bluer states/places. Massachusetts' governor and Susan Collins, for example. It's more frequent than you'd think. Like I, in the absence of a decent libertarian candidate, would vote Red for a candidate against gay marriage, cause there's no...

    International Victims of Communism day

    Today, May 1st, is international victims of communism day. Honor the memories of those who died under tyranny, be grateful for those who escaped, and resist by engaging in capitalism. Buy a book by Mises, or just go to work as a show of protest against communist strikes. More, raise awareness by...

    A History of LGBT Rights in the US

    So this is me deciding to finally start a long term writing project. Basically, a history of the Gay Liberation movement (as it was first called), what started it, and what it became. Some warnings: This will be done piecemeal as I get to parts of history that I know, and some things in this...

    Culture Pride Months and Commercialism

    Noooo!!!! Anything but that, how will I survive! Yeah, because we won. Now we have moved onto the next level, commercializing. That's what all oppressed minorities should aim for: equal rights, followed by aggressive capitalism. Alternatively, there is a fair argument to be made that...
