Selfishness is not a Virtue

Posted on March 14, 2019 by camelotkidd

How did we go from a nation that reformed capitalism with the New Deal, defeated Germany and Japan in WWII, rebuilt Europe, put a man on the moon, and created the Internet; to riven by inequality, overcome by addiction and … Continue reading →

Not a bug but a feature

Posted on March 8, 2019 by camelotkidd

The 2020 election is set to be a barnburner with over a dozen Democratic challengers lining up to take a shot at Trump. With that in mind this article by neoliberal economist Brad DeLong caught my eye. DeLong, who … Continue reading →

Not your fathers empire

Posted on February 14, 2019 by camelotkidd

I believe that the bipartisan freak-out over a Congresswoman’s criticism of AIPAC provides a window into the true nature of the American empire. Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has published an apology for making self-evident observations about the American Israel Public … Continue reading →

Empire Wreckers

Posted on February 8, 2019 by camelotkidd

The Trump administration has segued from tragedy to comedy while unintentionally wrecking the US empire. Didn’t know we were an empire? You’re not alone. Most Americans believe the myth of American exceptionalism, where the USA is depicted as the … Continue reading →

Pity the Billionaire

Posted on January 31, 2019 by camelotkidd

If the billionaires that are presently building hidey-holes in New Zealand want to help their cause they should bring back Noblesse oblige. Seriously, they could save a lot of money, which seems to be the raison d’être for billionaires. Notice how … Continue reading →

Dark Horse

Posted on January 25, 2019 by camelotkidd

Of all the Democratic presidential hopefuls, I’m most exited about Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, Democrat of Hawaii, because she has the potential to blow open the debate on US foreign policy and empire. “There’s one main issue that is central … Continue reading →

PayGo

Posted on January 17, 2019 by camelotkidd

PayGo is bad economics and bad politics, but naturally it was the first order of business for the newly elected Democratic Speaker of the House–Nancy Pelosi. Despite resistance from progressive Democrats, the House rules package for the 116th Congress will … Continue reading →

A crisis of ideologies

Posted on January 10, 2019 by camelotkidd

I find it darkly amusing that neoliberalism and neoconservatism are losing legitimacy by the day, while political leaders and the corporate media warn of the disintegration of the “western-liberal-order.” That these two ruling ideologies are imploding says a lot … Continue reading →

Lost their minds

Posted on December 22, 2018 by camelotkidd

Liberals have lost their minds over something Trump did. I know, big surprise. This time, what’s got them in a tizzy is Trump’s announcement that he’s pulling US troops out of Syria, where they’ve been stationed illegally as part of … Continue reading →
