Thomas Paine's Corner

Comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable

  • banner21
  • Thomas Paine’s Corner (TPC), founded on March 10, 2005 by Jason Miller, is dedicated to ending the unnecessary suffering of oppressed and exploited sentient beings and to the total liberation of human animals, nonhuman animals, and the Earth. While TPC is eclectic, holistic, and open to different perspectives, it approaches anti-capitalism and total liberation from an essentially anarcho-veganist position, as portrayed in the graphic above by the juxtaposition of the Boy Scout--a victim of one of the indoctrinating mechanisms for our imperialist, patriarchal, faux Christian, corporatist, statist, speciesist society--against the anarchist symbol, which represents democracy, decentralization, mutually respectful individual sovereignty, egalitarianism, direct action, and mutual aid.

Trolls

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion

–Wikipedia

Thomas Paine’s Corner allows readers to comment and welcomes opposing viewpoints that enliven a discussion and stimulate critical thinking. However, we are not a “neutral” news site. TPC reflects, promotes and embodies a specific worldview.

With the help of the rest of the editorial collective, which I began assembling in late 2008; the tremendous support and assistance of my closest ally, Steve Best, over the last several months; zero income due to my refusal to accept advertising; my own money; and countless hours of diligent effort, I’ve painstakingly carved out this niche on the Internet. When you comment, you are a guest in my cyber-home. If I determine you are a troll, I will delete your comment and ban you.

Thanks for visiting!
