Zero Books Manifesto:
The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.

Ben Burgis recounts his twitter encounter with the reactionary race realist youtuber and “logic” bros Stefan Molyneux. It turns out that Molyneux doesn’t know the difference between a sound and a valid argument, but he’s also unwilling to be corrected. Molyneux’s blocking Burgis on twitter and his subsequent subtweeting was “not an argument.”

This report from the Left Forum for 2018 attempts to synthesize two panels, one from the Platypus Affiliated Society and the other from the International Marxist Humanist Organization.

Guy Mankowski interviews Elizabeth Bernholz (aka Gazelle Twin) about how to be a Pop Star.
Bernholz is an electronic music composer, producer and musician whose albums include The Entire City and Deep England. Her stage name is Gazelle Twin.
Guy's book "Albion's Secret History" compiles snapshots of English pop culture's rebels and outsiders, from Evelyn Waugh to PJ Harvey via The Long Blondes and The Libertines. By focusing on cultural figures who served to define England, Guy Mankowski looks at those who have really shaped Albion's secret history, not just its oft-quoted official cultural history.
