Rather than having an economy that serves people, we are witnessing an out-of-control system that incentivizes getting humans out of the way.

Millions of people now trust the profit-driven braindroppings of random podcast bros more than the advice of medical professionals or decades of peer-reviewed research. Everyone wants to believe there’s some “secret” out there that some meathead just discovered.

Last week, Pete Hegseth declared that the war on Iran would be different from previous US military invasions. The Defense Department spokesmodel announced: “The dumb, politically correct wars of the past were the opposite of what we’re doing here. They had vague objectives with restrictive, minimalist rules of engagement. No more.” Now, anyone who remembers the Iraq War knows it was a bloodbath featuring “shock and awe” tactics followed by numerous atrocities against civilians and ghastly revelations of torture. We’ve reached the point where not committing war crimes is being ridiculed as “politically correct.” 

Longtime readers know I despise this phrase, and how its usage (as well as “woke”) has been deployed as a form of linguistic warfare that has successfully redefined morality, human rights, and democracy itself as “liberal” — and therefore weak, effeminate, and inferior.

As so many familiar parts of life become shells of their former selves, it's worth remembering what's still decent, human, and real.

More Perfect Union has a short video that provides a decent overview of the real motivations behind the US threats to Greenland: rare earth minerals coveted by the tech industry, a longtime fixation on Greenland by Trump ally Ron Lauder (heir to the Estee Lauder fortune), oil, and the radical libertarian fantasy of creating a "network state" city there.

As regulations protecting the health and safety of Americans are stripped away, I find myself thinking a lot about the amorality of the marketplace.

Climate Silence

The COP30 climate conference in Belém, Brazil has been largely overshadowed by the Epstein files, but I thought it was worth reminding ourselves that humans are destroying the planet. Here in the states, it now feels almost taboo to mention the climate crisis. Poll-driven pundits warn Dems not to bring it up because voters don't see it as a top priority, and Democrats have largely stopped talking about it. Even Bill Gates, a longtime funder of climate projects, has issued a widely-criticized memo suggesting a "strategic pivot" to helping poor countries develop rather than reduce carbon emissions, as though these two are mutually exclusive.
