I like reading exiledonline.com especially Mark Ames and John Dolan. Mark's reviews of prostitutes and Dolan's baby boomer days are vicarious fun.

Yeah, it’s a real wonder that the FBI gave explicit orders to leave the “anarchist” Libertarian Alliance alone, and focus on everyone else in the room.

What’s so galling is that, in the libertarians’ revisionist history of themselves, they constantly describe themselves as “radicals”–as in “radicals for capitalism” or “anarcho-capitalists.” For three decades now, they’ve been pumping American history full of free-market mind-smog. In their version of the radical 60’s and 70’s, the libertarians were right there on the front-lines of the revolution, a revolution that was all about smoking their filthy marijuana, growing their filthy hair long, and giving a middle-finger to oppressive school teachers. What’s been airbrushed out is how the libertarians hid themselves far off the radical sidelines, away from the danger. Because they were a joke, a harmless little fucking joke: hippies for corporate capitalism. They could pretend they were as anti-war and pro-marijuana all they wanted, but back then, you were either radical because you were anti-capitalist, or a sad tool who fooled no one.

As the FBI files show, and as my own memory vaguely reminds me, the 60′s was about fighting that very core idea, fighting and banishing it from the world. Drugs, war, racism–everything would be solved if capitalism was overthrown. Whereas the libertarians say: Everything will become great again if only the government is overthrown, collectivism is overthrown, regulation is overthrown, public parks and public schools are privatized, and Social Security and Medicare abolished–then we shall have a peaceful happy world.

And thanks to the FBI’s brutal and successful campaign to destroy the real radicals, we don’t even remember them as they were; we only remember them as the libertarians want us to remember them. As if it was all only about the loud music and the acid and the self-gratification and the funny hair and saying “Fuck You, Teacher!” and the best way to tell off your teacher was by becoming a capitalist. A radical capitalist.

It’s the “Freewheeling” that makes it so truly radical

Saying you’re a “radical for capitalism” is as meaningless and oxymoronic as calling yourself “Dangerously Non-Threatening” or “Radicals For Groveling.”

The real radicals were destroyed by the State: imprisoned, scattered, harassed, surveilled, ruined, even shot to death in their beds, like Fred Hampton. That becomes clear in those FBI files. Today, there’s no Left to speak of. Today, libertarianism is not only the only “choice” that the state allows us to make, but worse, libertarianism’s popularity is growing to record levels (thanks to the billionaire Koch brothers’ investment), according to a recent New York Times article, “Poll Finds Shift Towards More Libertarian Views.”

We’ve been had, folks. In a bad way–so bad, that sometimes I think it’s one of those things that’s so hopeless and so degrading, you almost have to wonder if you’d've been better off not knowing what was happening to you.

Too bad Ames and Taibbi fell out  :'(

I've always enjoyed the Exile too, but I don't take it very seriously.

[Fresh Prince]

It's always done with humour but the anger is palpable. The 'retribution' pieces that are a bit like 'yeah dude that was sort of childish'.

[recursivelyenumerable]

I agree that there has to be some kind of mass movement against the one-sided class warfare going on now though. there will probably be all kinds of stupid shit associated with that movement and it will annoy the fuck out of effete hand-wringers like me, but the alternative is continued steamrollage

Mssr. Stanhope! My evil twin! Well, more like my "pretends-to-ennui twin."

that douche has got everything figured out doesn't he

[Human Snorenado]

Libertarianism is really just precious.  Makes me smile every single time, like I'm thinking of a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow with a dull fork for his own good or something.

[Fresh Prince]

I don't really get Charlie Brooker. He just seems like a frustrated internet poster which I guess is why the internet loves him.

Callin this nicca a failure is not givin him enough credit namsayin. Straight up. Technically this nicca has already mastered failure n moved on to the level that comes after failin tho. Son has evolved past bein a regular failin ass nicca. This nicca has developed his own science when it comes to that shit....its "quantum failure" nahmean. This nicca can fail without even bein awake yo. Son can fail in a dream n bring that shit back wit him to his conscious state namsayin. The nicca can inception fail his way thru life. The nicca can find the fail buried 4 levels deeper under the failure that you actually see. The nicca can fail about 78 times per heartbeat g. In fact by the time you finish readin this sentence the nicca will have failed approximately 468 times namsayin. This nicca is usin methods of failure that distinguished black fellows aint even seen since the ancient Mayans n Egyptians was on earth still yo. This nicca is usin approaches to failin that brought upon the destructions of entire ancient civilizations son. Think its a game yo? This nicca takes his failure very fuckin seriously son. He dont want no failures happenin unless he involved. No chains snatched...no faces smacked...no nothin. A nicca falls off his bike in the park....he wants IN.

Aka the 2011 Mr Bojangles. This nicca also deserves recognition as the coon of the decade namsayin. I dont even kno how muthafuckas listen to this niccas music....nevermind callin that shit hip hop. If it was 1930 this nicca would be rockin a necklace made of chicken legs n pigs feet n be tap dancin on watermelons for a livin. Anyways...sons music is only technically hip hop....like drinkin a beer wit a straw n a umbrella in the bottle is technically drinkin a beer namsayin. Hidin behind 50 Cent wont protect you from ya own bitchassness tho son. This nicca been germinatin in the garden of wackness for a hot minute now. This nicca done splashed hisself wit enough water from the fountain of coonery to last 12 lifetimes. Stop givin this nicca a pass jus cos he young. Muthafuckin Run DMC was around this niccas age when they made King Of Rock yo. LL Cool J was on his first comeback when he was this niccas age yo. NWA made Fuck The Police when they was this niccas age son. You cant hide behind youth forever you clown ass muthafucka. If I see you Imma smack the slaves outta you nicca.
