Corporate America is a Flying Abortion

April 12, 2021March 17, 2021 by Ian Kummer

Why Do Smart People Say Stupid Things?

April 12, 2021March 6, 2021 by Ian Kummer

April 12, 2021March 6, 2021 by Ian Kummer

Some scholars argue that asymmetric war is like a Darwinian Ratchet. When an army “culls” the “slow and stupid” guerillas, “better” guerillas take their place, eventually creating a race of super guerillas. Okay, Boomer.

Nazis Take Over America and Establish a New Reich

April 16, 2021February 13, 2021 by Ian Kummer

With Joe Biden safely in the White House, America’s most powerful corporations have launched a new privatized reign of terror almost identical to Hitler’s Germany in the 1930s.
