You know what? Who gives a fuck what celebrities think about Israel and Palestine?

Seriously. I’ve been seeing people sharing lists of celebrities who are pro-Palestine and celebrities who are pro-Israel. And I’m just sitting here thinking: Who gives a fuck? Why are we treating celebrities like they’re the fucking deciding factor in this conflict? I don’t care whether a celebrity is pro-Palestine. I don’t care whether they’re pro-Israel.Continue reading “You know what? Who gives a fuck what celebrities think about Israel and Palestine?”

Why I Care So Much About the Arson Attacks

You’re probably thinking: why do you care this much about these arson attacks? Why keep talking about it? Why keep coming back to it? Alright.

The Ridiculous, Deranged Argument Against “My Body, My Choice”

I’m honestly just shocked by the audacity of the argument presented by Irami Osei-Frimpong in his clip, “My Body; My Choice is a Bad Argument.” It’s not only an insult to women, but it’s a deeply ignorant and, frankly, unhinged take on bodily autonomy. This guy goes as far as to compare the decision toContinue reading “The Ridiculous, Deranged Argument Against “My Body, My Choice””

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”

Trump’s 50-Year Mortgage Idea Is Basically Just Renting Forever

So, Trump recently floated this idea of a 50-year mortgage — and honestly, it’s one of the most absurd, dystopian financial ideas imaginable.

Furloughed and Forced to Work: Why Unpaid Federal Workers Are Facing Modern-Day Slavery

How Socialism and Communism Are Pretty Much the Same Thing—At Least in How Most Americans See It

There’s a lot of talk about how socialism and communism are “different.” You’ll hear academics, economists, and ideologues split hairs over the technicalities. They’ll go on about Marxist theory, about how socialism is the step before communism, about how communism is stateless and classless while socialism still retains some state structure.

An Even Crazier Take: A Leftist Can Be a Landlord

Now here’s where it gets even crazier — and I know some folks are gonna lose it over this. I actually think it’s possible for a leftist to be a landlord. Yeah, I said it. Like, look — if someone owns a small property, maybe they’ve got a spare room, and they decide to rentContinue reading “An Even Crazier Take: A Leftist Can Be a Landlord”

A Leftist Defense of Landlords (Sort Of)

Okay, so here’s something that’s gonna sound like a hot take. Maybe even a really hot take. A lot of folks — especially on the left — think landlords are evil, greedy, parasitic, lazy, and all the rest.
