Samizdata came to mind today. When it did, I did a search on it and it is still there. Thank Goodness.
The rampant commercialism is choking off the best in the Western World. Heck, it is choking off the best in the human race. Some may think of that as being a "socialist" attitude.
The trouble with people is when they don't know what they are talking about. I got into an online argument with a dude once, who subsequently called me a "Stalinist". Un-freaking-believeable that anybody as anti-communist as me could be confused with somebody like that. People might've thought me a fascist too. People might call me a lot of things, but it says more about themselves than it does about me.
Anyway, I forgot about this site that has a history going back to before I knew anything about blogs. That would be close to twenty years. Many blogs have gone away. I kinda wish that the old days were still here. Blogs were an alternative to the rampant commercialism in the media. As a play against blogs, Social Media came into existence. We now see what that has given us. Right back where we were before is what they gave us. Only it is far, far worse.
Just for the record, I have nothing against somebody making a buck. What I have something against is the use of money for something other than an honest living. Once it gets to the point to where it can destroy good things that are trying to come into existence, then it is at an evil point. To that end, some type of resistance is called for.
As the pic shows, the name came from an underground publication network in the former Soviet Union. We may need something like that in the good 'ol USA. It is getting that bad.
