Teaching sociology should not be an act of courage, but here in the Free State, it is. This is a shout-out to Florida's courageous sociology professors. https://open.substack.com/pub/madsociologist/p/teaching-sociology-shouldnt-be-an?r=d8c86&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Taking a look under the hood of the U.S. War Machine. Like all machines, there are costs to running it, and benefits to letting it run. So, who pays the costs? These are the folks with skin in the game. Who reaps the benefits? These are folks who should have skin in the game, but don't. https://open.substack.com/pub/madsociologist/p/the-schematic-of-the-american-war?r=d8c86&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

An explainer for understanding the background and relevant factors in our War with Iran. This is especially designed for teachers and students in "Free" states who may not feel safe in discussing this topic. Also for those who just want to brush up on the facts. https://mrandosciasclassroom.net/2026/03/06/why-are-we-at-war-with-iran/

I started to post this as a simple social media post. It got out of hand. So, now it's a Substack post. Very informative. If you want to understand the potential impacts of the Saggy Caesar illegally and immoral war, you need to understand the global system in which it is taking place. https://open.substack.com/pub/madsociologist/p/our-crude-system-is-failing?r=d8c86&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

I lost steam on my Twisted DNA of Capitalism series. Recent revelations of the "Epstein Class," however, fits right in with the thesis. So, the creative juices are flowing yet again. I decided to bring the series to Substack. Here is the introduction. https://open.substack.com/pub/madsociologist/p/the-twisted-dna-of-capitalism-introduction?r=d8c86&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true
