F*ck Chuck Schumer, Bust A Nut, and Go Touch Some Grass
In a stunning display display of political incompetence and malfeasance, 8 democratic senators, with the blessing, tacit or otherwise, torpedoed the stunning gains they'd made in an historic electoral drubbing of the GOP less than a week earlier, but fortunately FOR AMERICA, we're here to explain how it can, maybe, with a hitherto unsee lack of cowardice, might be able to undo (some) of the catastrophic damage.

Us vs Asmongold vs Tucker & Nick
Tucker Carlson interviewed Nick Fuentes in an attempt to launder the latter's reputation and endear the former to a younger audience of ghouls. Asmongold then reacted to the interview. We then reacted to the reaction.  It's all very meta and the only two people out of the five involved who said anything worth listening to are Rev and Gonzo.  You lucky folks get to endure the whole ordeal.

There Are No Real Winners In White Supremacy (except the 0.1%)
It's obvious, or it at least should be, that white supremacy, as an ideology, brutally harms non-white people of all kinds. What's less obvious is how it also harms the overwhelming majority of white people as well.

DESTROYING The Patriarchy and CRUSHING Taylor Swift
One of the greatest misconceptions young men and boys often have is that their dissatisfaction with the world and the aimlessness they feel about their place within it is caused by feminism and their perception that it devalues men and thereby them. Rev. and Gonzo explain how this belief is one of the greatest tricks that patriarchy ever pulled in its rabid pursuit of its own continued existence, and how the manosphere helps it convince young men to enable their own emotional destruction. They also briefly discuss whether or not Taylor Swift has a cloaca.

Never Be An Ezra Klein
Liberal democracy has a disease, and that disease is people like Ezra Klein going through their political lives under the delusion that facts and calm, reasoned, discourse is the secret to our current authoritarian descent, as if the world were written by Aaron Sorkin.    It was not.

The Normie's Guide To The Alt-Right Pt. 1
