The Election Fraud Con

Much of the coverage surrounding the SAVE Act treats it as a familiar partisan dispute, with discussions on CNN panels and elsewhere framed in procedural terms (documentation, fraud, access) as though the disagreement turns on technical questions of election administration rather than the structure of membership in the national political community. The former way of framing the dispute keeps attention fixed on how elections are run while leaving largely unexamined how the national community is being defined based on classist, xenophobic, heterosexist, and white supremacist principles.

The Serpent Eats Itself

There is an old and rather useful principle in political philosophy—useful, at least, to anyone not actively attempting to build a belief system out of fumes and grievances—that you cannot construct a livable house on a foundation of pure negation. You can, however, erect something like a haunted shack: all drafts and whispers, full of imagined enemies, structurally unsound and permanently one hard knock away from collapse.

The Problem with the Epstein Files Distraction Discourse

Instagram is my social media drug of choice. I can’t say for sure that it’s happening elsewhere, like in the land of TikTok, but I imagine it is and that you, reader, may have encountered some of the same rhetoric I’ve been seeing and hearing both online and offline.

AI and Nuclear Proliferation

As long predicted, the world order is shifting, away from American unipolar dominance and toward a system of increasingly bold middle powers and a new superpower and true U.S. peer in China. We are observing a diffusion of power in the international system and, with that, an emerging multipolar order characterized by the decline of U.S. global hegemony, increasing geopolitical complexity, new military capacities, and growing economic and financial partnerships (for example, the BRICS group). There can be little doubt that within the coming years, the nuclear club will add new members. More than ever, the lovers of peace and humanity need to be prepared to press the case for nuclear disarmament and robust arms control treaties that seriously limit nuclear arsenals and forestall the development of new nuclear weapons.
