This isn’t just another newsletter about politics. Think of it more like digging through the wreckage of belief — a weekly excavation of how people change their minds once the slogans stop working.

I graduated high school as a left-leaning libertarian, a true believer in markets, merit, and the magic of decentralization. I hadn’t given it much thought, but accepted the faulty premises that more and more young guys are being sold these days: that blockchain would save us from the banks; that “freedom” meant opting out; that clever ideas could outbuild bad systems if we just built them right this time. But reality has a way of grinding those illusions down — especially when those ideals rest on the fantasy that we’re all free agents in a world built out of labor, networks, and power.

Somewhere between cynicism and exhaustion, I stopped mistaking detachment for clarity. I started looking at who benefits, who gets left behind, and how the so-called “invisible hand” seems to always give the same people the finger.

Simply put, I am fed up with the status quo as it gets worse year after year. I am burned out from barely scraping by however I can for the longest decade in the world’s wealthiest failed state. It’s high time everyone raise their voices- the chronic problems in our society will not change unless society is forced to progress, dragged kicking and screaming into a new paradigm of equitable distribution of the bounty given to us by or derived from the Earth- y’know, the planet we’re curbstomping with fossil fuel emmissions on a daily basis.

In addition to political analysis, leftist critique of pop culture and societal trends, and the occasion rant about ending the drug war so I can finally get speed from the pharmacy, there will be satirical gags, short and memetic recurring bits, and other sources of levity. I am also looking for like-minded writers who want to get their work published- experience is welcome but not necessary if you’re a strong writer and passionate about moving the overton window away from Mordor and inch-by-inch toward the stateless, classless society we fucking deserve already. Looking forward to hearing from y’all!

I don’t even need the Full Monty; I will happily settle for achievable things- if we could only get single-payer healthcare, public housing, and UBI instated without it somehow subsidizing the “dragon sickness” of the 0.1% I might not find the inevitability of death as comforting as I usually do. Let those rich fucks pay for their own K-holes- I’ve lived three entire decades without causing a single economic crisis, and I’ve never gotten a free K-hole from the government! Maybe if I had, I’d feel more fondly of people who chase power for the sole purpose of preventing societal progress. But I digress…

Lastly, I’ll be peppering these dispatches with practical advice on how to make ends meet in dire situations- spending half the pandemic through now perpetually near zero-dollars broke and having been forced to get creative in finding new income streams over and over has left me with a wealth of insight into Surviving Late-Stage Capitalism.

If anything I’ve said so far resonated with you, please subscribe and read Issue #1 when I release it Tuesday. Keep calm, don’t lose your head, and DO NOT obey in advance!

‘Til next time, comrades,
