There will be no chapter review released today. I’m traveling for work and will not have enough time to complete and edit the next review, but I am going to point you to something else I found while I was doing research for a review.
The always reliable [sarcasm] Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has something called a Hate Map featured on their website. The Hate Map tracks and follows different hate groups around the United States including the group category and general location. These groups include white supremacists, neo-Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Confederates, and anti-LGBTQ groups to name a few. There is also another category called Black Separatists that include groups like the Nation of Islam. I give credit to the SPLC for calling out some of these groups, like the Nation of Islam, because that isn’t well received in the political environment we have now. But, unsurprisingly, the SPLC is going to get a little less credit from me after reading this article.

The SPLC plans on slowly removing the Black Separatist category because of… some such nonsense… basically, it does not fit their political narrative. Here is a small section taken from the article:
“SPLC was founded to fight against institutionalized racism. Part of that fight is doing the internal work of anti-racism. While these groups can be virulently anti-white, this prejudice does not represent the same threat as white supremacy in America. By making this distinction, IP is hoping to help dispel any misinterpretations of our understanding of how racism functions in American society. In our endeavor for racial justice and equity, it is imperative that we adopt an understanding of racism grounded in nuance and the realities of racial power dynamics. Racism in America is historical, systemic and structural.”
As one of the top thinkers [sarcasm again] in the field of anti-racism, Ibram X. Kendi, says, “We must use present discrimination to fight past discrimination.”
At least the SPLC still has the mental fortitude, if that’s the right term for it, to keep people like Louis Farrakhan on their Hatewatch list, but ignoring extremist groups (and labeling non-extremist groups and individuals as extremists) out of political convenience is not fighting hate… but it is anti-racist… I guess.
I was listening to some news updates when I heard this CNN clip about the potentially hazardous water in East Palestine, and as soon as I heard her ask the question about whether or not her guest would drink the water, I IMMEDIATELY thought of this clip from South Park. Enjoy.
In this special episode of The Engineering Politics Podcast, Truman from Return To Reason is back for a new video and podcast series titled ‘Revisiting The Road To Serfdom’ where we review F.A. Hayek’s classic work, The Road To Serfdom. This episode covers ‘Chapter 15: The Prospects of International Order’.
This will be an ongoing series that covers the entire book. We put a ton of work into making this insightful and relevant, so we hope you enjoy watching/listening as much as we enjoyed reading and recording.

In this episode of The Engineering Politics Podcast, I team up with Truman from @ReturnToReason to interview one of the most intelligent and influential creators in the space of philosophy today. Stephen R.C. Hicks is a Professor of Philosophy at Rockford University, Executive Director of the Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship, and Senior Scholar at The Atlas Society. He has written many books including Explaining Postmodernism and Nietzsche and the Nazis. We bring him on to talk about the social and political issues we are currently facing in America, and the West more broadly, and what the collectivist ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau might have to do with it.
