Cultural Elites

A brief rant on the issues I find central to today's political arena. How a politics centered purely on identity doesn't answer many questions and can actually be regressive in practice. The future of this podcast is going to be centered on a left critique of current mainstream woke culture and it's destructive cancel culture. All is on the table and no more limitations to my thoughts. Episodes wi...

I firmly believe that the U.S is the reason for the mayhem in the East. We need to approach this situation with a lot of context. Some of it is really easy to find too. For example, when the U.S was asking the question "how exactly are we going to relate with Russia, now that the Soviet Union has broken up?" We first approached it from the idea that we can work with them since things have gone our...

It's a brief summary of the history regarding Taiwan and China. Why does the Chinese government not consider Taiwan a separate country? How did they split?

Often when I read about realism, I eventually come across someone telling the world that "realism is a dead theory" that the "world doesn't work that way anymore". Then, the same liberals will go on news shows and talk about how the U.S bombing in other countries "create terrorist"; that our foreign policy is "responsible for the instability". Which means they like realism, but only when it suits...

The Clintons crime family has gotten away with many evil deeds, by tying Bill's sexual depravity to actual executive policy. War crimes to lessen the blow from the Monica Lewinsky impeachment trials; state murder to decrease the pain from going down during the primary in New Hampshire; setting the framework for Donald Trump to use the very same tactics and ploys whenever he's got even a hint of a...

I took the train and decided to just go around to and see the city through the eyes the train had given me. Every route gave me more vision of the inner workings of the city. I decided not to go around and talk to people, but to just simply watch and learn. I kept seeing the same pattern I saw in Seattle, L.A., San Fran... Homeless folk in tent cities. I saw high class condos towering over methado...

I wanna begin asking questions surrounding issues I've either thought to myself, read, or have watch something on TV that had me spiraling into Freudian rabbit hole. I many times overthink some scenes in TV shows and find deeper meaning than the writers probably intended. It's like The Beatles fanatics and their lyrics. Sometimes I overreach but still I think the thinking itself is good enough to...

We moved from southern Miami, Florida to Portland, Oregon. We moved in with my in laws last year in 2020 during the presidential election and the country suffering with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. My partner and I sold all of our belongings and took out all our savings so we can try to move on in life and not be evicted and on the streets in Miami. Instead we start building a life in Por...

I'm drunk in this episode. I've been without work for over 2 weeks at this point and my entire house is now either fired or laid off. We're all bummed out and worried about our future. Still out health's number one so we try to not stress during this time. This crisis, with our self imposed quarantine 2 weeks ago after losing our jobs, is giving me cabin fever. Had a few drinks and decided to read...

George Carlin to me was a great thinker who just happened to have the comedic gene. He was meant to make us laugh but keep us thinking. I draw on one of his best bits ever made, to raise the question about whether this COVID19 pandemic proves that the state structure, how we dedicate too much authority to others in order to have them "protect" us only for them to have them fail us over and over ag...
