A Platform of Polemic, DISSIDENCE and Intrigue
WELCOME FROM DANIEL C. MEES, OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL TOPICS.

Since Donald Trump’s win, is the left worthy of respect?
The 2016 election – ecstatic and wild. This particular election for America’s presidency might be the most stupendous of the West’s political elections. I believe we have seen two vast opposites attempt to strike each other down with successes, persuasion and satire. Donald Trump is an unusual character, but full of frankness and splendid bluntness. Hilary Clinton is, of course, a well-experienced character, but with a reckless history... (READ ON) |
The Liberal Crisis: A Civil War on the Left
The degradation of liberal philosophy sprouts like an eruption from a mountain; with volcanic ash spreading into the minds of sanctimonious, sycophantic, wannabe hippies. Such degradation is not arising from the opposing right, but from regressives who, in all facets of contradiction, describe themselves as progressive and liberal. I have criticised the regressive, SJW left a few times already, and so have other influential speakers and writers, but I can never have less to say... (READ ON) |
Must Science Fall? The Rise of Anti-Science on the Left
Of all the people who’d deny science, you’d at least think it was those on the religious or far-right political side of our societies. But, no!

But, as expected, the takeover of an ISIS stronghold raises major concerns on the matter of civilian casualties. I believe, airstrikes should be strongly and morally thought-out to avoid innocent casualties... (READ ON) |
Hypocrisy on the Left: For the Sake of Social Justice
The left, swift to conceal judgements on its critics whether liberal or conservative, convey preconceived feelings on racism and xenophobia. Bandwagon liberals and social justice warriors have a favourite phrase: “that is racist…” compiled with more complaints like “you are Islamophobic” and “you have privilege so your opinion doesn’t matter”. If you disagree with their activisms, they will loosely... (READ ON) |
Zero-Hour - An Exploitative Contract
If there is any form in which a cruel economy degrades the future of a generation by oppressing youth and graduates, it is to enforce the criminality of the zero-hour contract. Under the zero-hour contract, you’d be more obliged to label your employment status as partially-employed with its rate of unreliable work ethics, insecure income and a lack of security to support yourself or your family...
