Somebody figured this out a while ago. “Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and […]
I was actually a bit hopeful recently, seeing people threaten to boycott the NFL. It’s too bad that it had to be so painfully obvious, but the NFL either needs a wake-up call, or a smaller audience. It is a club of ultra-rich owners, making extreme profit while sharing a […]
Among the plethora of important stories that are generally drowned out by “news” about Russia, is the debate on net neutrality.

Once again, America exposes itself for the police state that it is. People were genuinely shocked when they saw the final moments of Philando Castille’s life, live-streamed over Facebook. Police Officer Jeronimo Yanez killed him because he was reaching for his identification. Even though Castille had just told the officer […]
