Philosophy Tube just completed a fantastic video series on liberalism, and I highly recommend it for people wanting to understand the ideology of the status quo.
Part 1 discusses how liberalism contextualizes violence in relation to other ideologies
Part 2 discusses the interconnected history of liberalism and capitalism
Part 3 discusses neoliberalism as an ongoing political trend since the 1980s
Part 4 discusses the major structural flaws inherent to liberalism

“Liberalism exists to justify capitalism. Left-wing ideologies, like socialism, are incompatible with capitalism. But capitalism is compatible with fascism. And so liberalism slides right a lot easier than it slides left.”
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
