In our discussions of identity politics to this point I've mostly centered on left/right aspects and divides along race, explaining how statistics have been used in misleading ways to fear monger white conservatives into anti-immigration and supremacist attitudes, stoking their suspicion of any "other" and driving us to the edge of a cliff that half … Continue reading How Media Fans the Flames of Culture War and Allows Fringe Figures to Gain Power

Examining Underlying White Supremacy Within the American Identity
This post goes hand in hand with my previous; Disproving Misleading Statistics and Analyzing the Harm of Identity Politics Many white Americans don't give too much thought to what other ethnic groups income is in comparison to theirs, and this goes across the board for many Americans in general. There isn't a consideration for conditions … Continue reading Examining Underlying White Supremacy Within the American Identity
The Biggest Grift in Human History
Today I would like to share a special essay with you all, one that I personally had the most fun yet disgust researching; the ballad of the Federal Reserve. I recently finished this lovely piece with Bezos implementing his boring dystopia, so I figured it would be the perfect companion for our discussion about robber … Continue reading The Biggest Grift in Human History
The Concept of Race and Mass Incarceration
Michelle Alexander was very influential in this segment of my research and writing. For people of color in America the barriers to chasing the ‘dream,’ or even living comfortably, are tenfold those of white middle and lower class citizens. We like to believe that after events like the civil rights movement, emancipation of slavery, and … Continue reading The Concept of Race and Mass Incarceration

Modern Slavery – The Connection Between New Feudalism and Mass Incarceration
"If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that's not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. They haven't pulled the knife out; they won't even admit that it's there." - Malcolm X The … Continue reading Modern Slavery – The Connection Between New Feudalism and Mass Incarceration
Disenfranchisement, New Feudalism, and the Ghost of an American Dream
Credit: Robert Meganck The inability to pursue the American dream becomes even more evident when looking at the overall assets that younger generations hold in comparison to baby boomers and older. Millenials are hardly able to own their own property, let alone have any type of savings built up in case of emergency.

Friedman & Reagan Part I – An Insidious Seed is Planted
The Big 4: Hayek, Friedman, Reagan, and Thatcher. There is a saying that capitalism can take either a savage or benevolent form; the United States has always been a system of savagery. Regardless of what tactic used there has always been oppression of a group of people sponsored by the government in our iteration of … Continue reading Friedman & Reagan Part I – An Insidious Seed is Planted
For Profit College & the Lie About Loans
The government’s promise of student loans as a gateway to education and subsequent financial independence has been a huge misdirect for us as well. Student debt has tripled since 2008, and there has been a skyrocketing discrepancy in the cost of college and the loans taken out in comparison to how quickly students can pay … Continue reading For Profit College & the Lie About Loans
