If you are reading "What Is A General Strike?" (journalofcogency.com/2025/03/02/w...), at the beginning I talk about issues I have with the UAW's planned general strike of 2028 (just corrected). I didn't get to them in the article but I'll talk about it here.

Read my first-blush review of "Nietzsche and Philosophy" by Gilles Deleuze, in which I refine my position against Nietzsche: journalofcogency.com/2025/02/15/d...

I wrote another anti-Nietzschean manifesto, this one is also a review of "Nietzsche and Philosophy" by Gilles Deleuze (12 min read) journalofcogency.com/2025/02/15/d...

Because I'm feeling generous to all the losers: Why I Hate Nietzsche substack.com/home/post/p-...

I do not have any time of patience for Nietzscheans. You are all dupes. The only thing you have to say is "you don't understand what he wrote". No one has ever successfully challenged my arguments. Shut the fuck up.

I changed the title to "Why Normal People OFTEN Don't Fight Fascism" cause my point is that it's hard for normal people to fight fascism, not that it's normal to not fight fascism. Most people are anti-fascist open.substack.com/pub/jonwuka/...

While I know that there are communists/anarchists who are pro-Nietzsche, I really doubt that Nietzsche's work would endure a thorough communist or anarchist critique.

What I think is most irritating about critiquing Nietzsche is that he is extremely clearly an arch-conservative, to the point that people arguing that he isn't are primarily going "yeah he did say that, but...". It's all "being charitable" etc. etc. Why, though? Why do we have to do that?

We're living in Nietzsche's world and it sucks so much.

The thing about politics is that so many people with "good politics" have really horrible, unworkable ideas. They have dating advice ideas, you know what I mean? Their ideas sound good to them and their ideas make them feel good, but they are not tested in any way, not even just through logic.

A deceptively terrible idea. Promises given on the campaign trail, especially by small parties, have to be executed on. How far are you willing to lie? Are you voting to end gay marriage "for strategic reasons"? When your base & recruits become only conservatives, will you be able to pivot?

It's so funny to see liberals constantly going "Hillary was right about _____!" No, she wasn't. You know this Trump guy you hate so much? Or "Drumpf" or "Fanta Cheeto"? Yeah, that was Hillary's fuckin idea. The Republicans would have beat him. She didn't know anything. Awful politician.

One thing which feels important to realize is that people can only be persuaded to hate the parts of communism that can be made to look like fascism.

Taking bets on the specific threat that Chicago PD made to the mayor. Personally I think they were more creative than threatening to throw him into the river.

If you want to develop "revolutionary consciousness" I'd suggest you give this a read to help you define what it is you're trying to accomplish

Might try Boltgun again and see if I like it. I should have finished my Plato reading but I forgot. (I never took Philosophy 101 so I'm gonna try to do it myself, blogs to come on NZ or @journalofcogency.com)

Have you ever wondered why the Democrats come right up to the line of doing something good and then back down at the last second? Read "Why the Democrats Will Never Love You", a 7 min read on Journal of Cogency: journalofcogency.com/2024/10/24/w...

This guy was only too ready to pressure the government to bail out his friends at the Silicon Valley Bank. Now he wants all of you working and middle class (if it exists) Americans to take the bullet in order to give him and his fellow billionaires a much-needed tax cut.

I feel like most people fail to understand that the starting point for transphobia is the enshrinement of the ideology of sex and male-supremacy. Transmasculine erasure and violent transmisogynistic fixation stems from the same sort of protectionism regarding manhood.

Do you want to know why Biden and the Democrats lost their election? It's because Biden will be known for a genocide, not for helping anyone. Because the Democrats are led by the country's most outwardly evil president in history.

It was a lot of posts in a row, I know, but people have been talking about figuring things out and agitating, and I thought I'd give people a good place to start. Oh, I forgot one actually.

Read "Against Ur-Fascism" on Journal of Cogency, a critique of the essay "Ur-Fascism" by Umberto Eco which I feel is a naive view of what fascism is, one which I try to update journalofcogency.com/2023/10/19/a...

I want to start doing book reviews but I think I need a crutch (format) at first. I can effectively use a book to make a point, but for whatever reason I can't get my head around what to say when the book itself is the subject, and I can't always rely on coming up with a point.

The issue is that this shouldn't be happening and people shouldn't have to support it. The fact that the Democrats are doing it is a moral stain. You should have your own principles enough to not stand with it. Then, if the Democrats are not evil, they listen. It's not about "how do we win".
