“These are the times that try men’s souls.”
—Thomas Paine
Quoting Thomas Paine wasn’t on my agenda, but it seems fitting today. Indeed, we find ourselves in challenging times.
It’s time to confront the reality: the enduring efforts of billionaires to undermine popular governance, a scheme that traces back to 1933, may be on the verge of success. Evidence supporting this assertion is plentiful, from this:
to this:
I could elaborate, but it seems unnecessary. We understand the context—we are indeed in times that challenge our very essence. So, what should our course of action be?
Charting a Course Forward
In this critical moment, it’s imperative to remain informed, discerning, and thoughtful in our judgments. Demagogues abound, playing their game on both sides of the political spectrum; balanced perspectives are rare.
This leads us to Naked Capitalism and its current fundraising initiative. Why should you consider supporting the site at this juncture? (Hint: please visit the Tip Jar!)
Because, amidst the chaos, few are brave enough to highlight the pressing issues we face. With opposition mounting from every corner, where do we turn for clarity? No grassroots movement has emerged to counteract this. And who’s addressing these concerns? Very few.
The mainstream media often leans toward partisan narratives, making it challenging to navigate our tumultuous environment without a full understanding of the landscape—partisan or otherwise. These are not simply partisan challenges; both political parties have significant shortcomings—and independent sources of information are now more valuable than ever as we strive to make informed decisions.
This is where Naked Capitalism excels. Consider this selection of articles from recent months:
• “Inflaming Tensions, Trump Threatens Political Left With Retribution Over Killing of Charlie Kirk”
• If There Is No Welfare State, What Will Europe’s Social Contract Be?
• Is Europe Preparing for War Against Russia or Against Own Populations?
• How Can the Democrats Win Back the Working Class? Economic Populism
• Examining the Democrats’ Pursuit of “Good Billionaires”
The diversity and depth of coverage is both valuable and increasingly rare. (Hint: please head to the Tip Jar now!)
