I wasted an entire month reading about and writing down some thoughts on the first forty days of President Trump's reign. "The king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Susa was thrown into confusion."

On the difference between democratic socialism and social democracy, the future of capitalism, and the socialist response to the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign.

Remembering Saint Max on this All Saints' Day: A spooky explanation of why I don't vote from an individualist's perspective.

I hate how people try to appeal to Jesus to support their own ideas of who should or should not be candidates for marriage. Jesus' teachings do not so easily lend themselves to those who would rule over their neighbors.

Pessimistic quotes by four thinkers on the [in]ability of capitalism to put technology to good use.

My most charitable thoughts about a local church which hosted a massive memorial service for a police officer.

Here are some of the better introductions to the alt-right that I've found, just in case anybody wants to waste as much time as me reading about this stuff.

It feels like an alternate timeline of 20th-century Fascism where Mussolini has a barely-functioning vocabulary and Carl Schmitt is illiterate.

On the difference between democratic socialism and social democracy, the future of capitalism, and the socialist response to the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign.

One of those fun internet quiz things.

Howard Zinn on Clinton

Nadie es ilegal.

The first article in a series on the Charlie Hebdo murders takes a brief look at the history of the magazine and especially the social and political crises from which it emerged.

The Supreme Court refused to review several cases this October, leaving district court rulings against same-sex marriage bans in effect.

A republic which can't even protect its large sexual minorities is a stupid republic.

'This is the collapse of the Left. You couldn't have more distinguished people on that list. It's a collapse of the Left. They have in effect put a figurative ring in their nose, and they've said to the Democrats, because the Republicans are so bad, we collapse and we're going for the least worst.'

The liberal-progressives clamor for the restoration of a healthy capitalism so they might claim their rightful rung on the ladder of exploitation.

I watched Stein and Johnson debate. I liked Stein better. Here's the video of the debate from YouTube.

You're the one who told me to vote, sucker.

As we remember Tiananmen Square today, there are some seriously neat protest movements happening on the ground in North America right now. The Quebec student strikes, Occupy Wall Street, Yo Soy 132. We will reclaim our space from capitalism square by square, park by park, street by street, house by house, mind by mind, and heart by heart. It is those clinging to their things while dwelling in their mansions who need authority and chains-of-command; those of us in the streets have no use for either.

Barack Obama is to marriage as Ron Paul is to abortion.

Bombs are good if NATO drops them; otherwise they are terrorism.

I've updated my pamphlet with an account of my trial. The old version has been included in the first issue of the 'People Not Profit' publication.

Saw this recommendation on the internet.

What a depressing Monday. The most positive comment I've read about yesterday's events was from a redditor, ``I don't know what to say, other than fuck the police, their time will come, and the people will rise.'' I doubt it.

A cynical look at Obama's 'The Life of Julia'

I appeared in criminal court for my jury trial, slept in a park, in the morning I received two guilty verdicts and a non-guilty verdict, loitered at the May Day demonstrations, then slept on the 16th Street Mall to protest Denver's proposed urban camping ban.

My jury trial, stemming from criminal charges brought against me after being arrested at the Occupy Denver camp for peacefully sitting in the park overnight, is on Monday (April 30th). The D.A. has offered me a last-minute plea offer that would give me a very light penalty compared to what he will ask for in the likely even that I'm convicted. This is what I asked my attorney to relate to the D.A. in response.

Dear citizens of the world, you can stop killing each other in the name of safety and enslaving each other in the name of security and prosperity. You're going to die anyway. This is what I believe. Adapted from an online conversation I had recently.

Homosexuality is unnatural, like when two people with different colored skin get married. I know it can be confusing to keep track of what behavior is natural and what is unnatural (supernatural?), but it is all spelled out in the Manual of Natural Behavior for Respectable Mammals you should have received when you were born. If you've lost your copy, then the Family Research Council can help you out.

My experience at the Canadian border.

Contraceptives contribute to an important social good which men should subsidize, though the new HHS mandate appears to be economically meaningless.

An overview of the Stop Online Piracy Act and a claim that the entertainment industry's aggressive rent-seeking is more harmful than anyone's pirating.

You can sleep in public in Boulder, but NOT if you use "shelter" like a blanket or tree.

Allow people to live in polygamous families if that's what they want.
