Manufacturing Normality

What The Hell Is Going On Here, Anyway?
What The Hell Is Going On Here, Anyway? Over the course of my young career here I’ve amassed a very eclectic group of readers from all across the political spectrum, which I quite enjoy.

The Just World Fallacy: Why People Bash Assange And Defend Power
The Just World Fallacy: Why People Bash Assange And Defend Power I write a lot about how important it is for political dissidents to research and understand cognitive biases, the large number of well-documented logical glitches in the way human brains process information.

“Good Guys” And “Bad Guys” Are A Hollywood Illusion
“Good Guys” And “Bad Guys” Are A Hollywood Illusion If you have spent literally any time arguing against western imperialism in any public forum, you have had the experience of being accused of “supporting” one of said imperialism’s targets. If you argue against regime change interventionism in Syria, you’ll get accused of being an “Assadist” […]
Remember: The Goal Is Always To Make Dissident Ideas Mainstream
Remember: The Goal Is Always To Make Dissident Ideas Mainstream It’s amazing how many people confuse egoic masturbation for revolutionary political activism. We talk a lot about how you can discern the real intentions of a given politician, plutocrat or official by ignoring their words and watching their behavior, but this principle can be applied […]
