The Political Left, which was once the fortress of intelligentsia and academia against the ignorance of the right, is quickly losing credibility amongst the general population who, with good reason, are beginning to recognise the Left as anachronistic delusionals, ill-equipped to confront the complex realities we face i...
It is certainly a sign of collective maturity that we as a people have grown cautious of the notion of Nationalism. Whilst a relatively new concept by historical standards Nationalism is the dangerous idea that the Nation State as an entity holds some innate value beyond the sum of its parts and that demands allegiance t...
With the current scandal surround Aziz Ansari assuming the headlines it is clear we have progressed to more complex conversations about consent in sexual activity. Whilst it is not as unanimous in its condemnation as obvious cases of rape and harassment, there have been some well communicated arguments from females artic...
In the USA they celebrate Independence Day, the day in 1776 that 13 colonies of the American mainland declared independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. It would take centuries for that nation to ban slavery, to stop the dispossession of its native inhabitants, and for the nation to rise as a super power. However A...
There is a revolutionary buzz in the air across the western world. It is not the beginning of a movement, or the end, but more an observable leap forward within the evolution of a movement.

I actively dislike religion and not only do I not believe Jesus was the son of God, I am unconvinced any historical figure like Jesus actually existed (there is absolutely no contemporaneous records of him, his miracles, or execu...
There is an insidious example of female oppression that curses our otherwise progressive, cohesive, and multi-cultural society. Due to what can only be assumed is an anomaly of stunted social progress amongst an element of our population we have a situation where many females are either forced, or feel obliged due to ove...
As someone who will not be forced to endure the ramifications of Trump’s domestic policies (being an Australian) I am often asked what it is about Trump I particularly don’t like. His potential racism (or at the very least failure to confront racism), his misogyny, his narcissism, his ineptitude, his complete detachment...
For anyone struggling to grasp the emergence of the “Alt-Right” movement and the anti-progressive sub-culture there are few more confusing figures than Milo Yiannopoulos. For a demographic dominated by less educated heterosexual white males wishing for a return to the glory days of the 1950’s, the manner in which they ha...
It is often said that fear is the most common cause of prejudice, and today there are few more maligned in modern society than she who is known as the slut.
