The Post-Partisan Emporium

  An Anti-Civilisation Critique of The Dawn of Everything Certainly, our distant ancestors were far more rational than we give them credit for, but it was their irrational quality that distinguished them from the automatons which followed. Written by Darren Allen. David Graeber was, like  Noam Chomsky , a rationalist, democratic, technophilic socialist who appropriated the radicalism of anarchism in order to distance himself from the conspicious futility of the professional leftism he embodied. He uncritically supported democracy (and was unable or unwilling to accept that it tyrannously subordinates individuals), he was uncritical of standard leftist causes (such as anti-racism, and other tools of management), he had no real interest in genuine anarchist revolt (continually focusing his ‘activism’ through statist party politics), he was uncritical of professionalism (firing potshots at every job conceivable in his book  Bullshit Jobs , yet curiously reluctant to attack d...

  NATO/EU THROW 300,000 UKRAINIANS TO THEIR DEATHS: “LIKE GERMANY IN 1945”: WESTERN SUPPORT EBBING AWAY Posted By:  Rodney Atkinson While some estimates of Ukrainian dead vary between 300,000 and 400,000 Ukrainian sources admit to 310,000 deaths and the Wall Street Journal estimates between 20,000 and 50,000 have lost one or more limbs. Other estimates are that several hundred thousand are severely wounded. This horrendous death total is not far short of the total British deaths during the whole of the Second World War  and it is the result of the West’s genocidal exploitation of Ukraine as a battering ram for American neocon attempts to destroy Russia and the irresponsible hubris of hurling poorly trained troops (increasingly draftees with no military experience), with insufficient artillery, little missile defence and no air support, across dense minefields against well entrenched Russian positions. An Australian TV channel showed a story about foreign mercenaries flee...

  GM just revealed its new electric Escalade – a huge, wastrel of an SUV that will start “around” $130,000. It’s an obscenity on so many levels it is hard to count them all.    First, if the “climate” truly is in “crisis,” then why the – expletive deleted – are vehicles such as this being made? Why are they being encouraged? Doesn’t a “crisis” require sacrifices? As in making do with less? Yet here is a vehicle that uses up probably five times as much raw materials to make it – and five times as much energy to power it – as something like the Aptera , which isn’t an affront to common sense but that probably isn’t something that uber affluent virtue-signalers want to drive. And that’s probably why you haven’t even heard of it. So what is it? The Aptera is a small, light, three-wheel EV that isn’t designed to virtue-signal. It is designed to be efficient as well as practical and – the big one – affordable (the projected base price of this little EV is $33,200). In or...
