Ari Armstrong's Web Log

Mountains around Estes Park, Colorado.

Welcome

Welcome to Ari Armstrong's Web Log about politics and culture. Join my email list. I advocate reason (as opposed to faith and irrationalism), reality (as opposed to supernaturalism and nihilism), and rights (as opposed to authoritarianism and lawlessness). I'm for liberalism broadly conceived and against tribalism, theocracy, socialism, fascism, racism, and Trumpism. I aim to tell you what you need to hear, not necessarily what you want to hear.
