Liberals are the most self-destructive people on the planet. Knowing what makes their opposition tick, they continue to act so insufferably, so disingenuously moralizing from an upper-middle-class pedestal, that Trumpism has been able to masquerade as counterculture. The radical wings of social justice and the middling liberalism of The New York Times are united in… Continue reading “Bougie Knows Best” – The Crisis of Democracy and Subversion, Trump and Brexit

In just a few paragraphs I’m going to destroy this elitist, corporate-concocted, conniving political construction who bears the torch of Henry Kissinger, military globalism, ‘At-least-I’m-not-a-Republican’ domestic policy and the continuation of everything that is morally abject about Barack Obama’s presidency. Of course, I’m talking about Hillary Clinton. I write this in advance of all the… Continue reading Hillary Clinton is an Abysmal Candidate

Political correctness was a weapon of the religious right-wing in the 1990s, used to silence caustic and vulgar dissent like the comedy of Bill Hicks or George Carlin. First as tragedy, and then, in the 2010s, as farce, when the online left took up the lingual cleansing of society as a way to achieve ‘progress’.… Continue reading Self-Censorship as a Virtuous Principle

Currently, the atomic Doomsday clock is set at 3 minutes to midnight. Noam Chomsky points this out every now and again, as he uses the metaphor of Minerva’s owl to describe his current reconnaissance over the soon-to-be-ruined world. Midnight is death. We are nearly there. Every wide-eyed loon hack of a prophet from Malachi to… Continue reading An Emotional Reponse to Nuclear Weapons & Climate Change, AKA The Death Drive feat. Noam Chomsky

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is an OK movie that represents the death of artistic vision in cinema. I hope this doesn’t come off as jaded because it’s not supposed to (too late). It’s a decent movie but really when broken down I think it’s awful. As in, it is an ambitionless action movie that… Continue reading Star Wars

This will be brief because there are just two or three brief ideas to articulate. Everyone is worried about the response. How will we obliterate ISIS? How will we stop attacks like these? These questions come from a deep, deep place of imperial privilege. When 240+ Iranians are killed in a commercial airliner, shot down… Continue reading On the Paris Attacks, and ISIS

So the New York Writers Workshop Pitch Conference was phenomenal, Tim Tomlinson and Charles Salzberg have saved my query letter. Also felt a lot of empathy with my fellow writers – all the people in my group were real writers who deserve to succeed, and about three of the stories seemed really wild. Someone with… Continue reading 10/19/2015

All police officers should have to study moral philosophy. The absence of philosophy, moreso, as a cultural and aesthetic force, is a disaster. Fiction, storytelling, TV, must become engaged with moral questions at a level that it engages the whole of society and challenges without being off-putting. The New Symphony is psychological fantasy, a story… Continue reading 10/13/2015
