Radical Compassion Doesn’t Mean Forgiving the Irredeemable

Radical empathy and radical compassion are central to my philosophy, anarcho-compassionism. They call for seeing others fully, understanding their struggles, their fears, their backgrounds, and even the ways they hurt others. They ask us to listen deeply, to hold space for humanity in all its forms, and to recognize that everyone, even oppressors, is shapedContinue reading “Radical Compassion Doesn’t Mean Forgiving the Irredeemable”

Why Calling Nick Fuentes a ‘White Fred Hampton’ Isn’t Just Wrong — It’s Threatening

Frimpong’s video titled “Nick Fuentes: White Fred Hampton. Hear Me Out!” attempts to position Fuentes — a known white nationalist — as analogous to Fred Hampton, the legendary Black Panther and multiracial working‑class organizer. On its face, the move seems provocative — perhaps intentionally so — but on closer inspection it reveals a deeply incoherentContinue reading “Why Calling Nick Fuentes a ‘White Fred Hampton’ Isn’t Just Wrong — It’s Threatening”

The Meeting That Told Us Everything: Why Zohran Mamdani Is Already Slipping Toward Capitulation

What happened in that Oval Office between Donald Trump and Zohran Mamdani wasn’t just a routine courtesy meeting between a newly elected mayor and a sitting president. It wasn’t just two politicians exchanging pleasantries or talking about the “needs of the city.” And it wasn’t simply a symbolic gesture of cooperation in a polarized era.Continue reading “The Meeting That Told Us Everything: Why Zohran Mamdani Is Already Slipping Toward Capitulation”

The First Time It Happens, It Still Shakes You

I’m still shaken. I’m still sitting here with all of this heaviness in my chest, trying to make sense of what happened, trying to put words to that weird mix of fear, disgust, anger, sadness, and disappointment that hit me all at once. I don’t even know how to begin unraveling the knot this leftContinue reading “The First Time It Happens, It Still Shakes You”

Everything Is Bullshit

Everything is bullshit. Honestly, that’s the only way I can even begin this anymore. I wish I could sugarcoat it, or build up to it, or pretend there’s some hopeful arc or graceful easing-in to the point, but there isn’t. Because everything is bullshit. Right wing, left wing, center, capitalism, communism, socialism, fascism, anti‑fascism, democrats,Continue reading “Everything Is Bullshit”

A Meeting That Tells Me Everything: Why Zohran’s Capitulation to Trump Feels Inevitable

There are certain moments in politics where, if you’ve been paying attention closely enough, you can practically feel the shift before it fully happens. You can see the pieces aligning, the tone changing, the public posturing giving way to something quieter, more strategic, more self-preserving. And for me, one of those moments happened recently whenContinue reading “A Meeting That Tells Me Everything: Why Zohran’s Capitulation to Trump Feels Inevitable”

Antifa Sucks: Stop the LARPing, Start Doing Something Real

It’s time we get real about Antifa. Let’s not sugarcoat it, let’s not dance around it, let’s call it what it is: cringe, destructive, violent, and pointless. And I don’t mean just a little bit pointless. I mean completely, utterly, in-your-face pointless. These so-called “anti-fascists” parade around in black from head to toe, covering theirContinue reading “Antifa Sucks: Stop the LARPing, Start Doing Something Real”

Throw Them All in the Trash Bin of History: Why Authoritarian “Communist” Leaders Deserve No Praise

There’s a strange trend that never seems to die: people—especially some folks on the left—continue to romanticize and defend authoritarian communist leaders like Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Enver Hoxha, and an entire laundry list of other so‑called “revolutionaries” who ended up running deeply authoritarian regimes. And let me be completelyContinue reading “Throw Them All in the Trash Bin of History: Why Authoritarian “Communist” Leaders Deserve No Praise”

The Most “Honest” President

There’s something wild about Trump — not in the usual political sense, but in how honest he is about who he is. And no, I don’t mean honest as in truthful. He lies constantly. He twists facts, exaggerates, and makes up nonsense on the fly. But at the same time, he’s brutally, almost frighteningly transparent.Continue reading “The Most “Honest” President”

The $1 Mortgage: A Wild Idea That Might Actually Make Sense

Okay, so let’s talk about my so-called “$1 mortgage” idea. Yeah, it started as a joke — a tongue-in-cheek response to Trump’s ridiculous 50-year mortgage proposal. But the more I thought about it, the more it started to sound… kind of brilliant. Think about it: what if housing really was that cheap? What if insteadContinue reading “The $1 Mortgage: A Wild Idea That Might Actually Make Sense”
