Socialism and Capitalism: Two Sides of the Same Coin
Dive into the energetic dance between socialism and capitalism—the scaffolding and the engine—shaping how societies organize value, freedom, and care. This article unpacks how capitalism reflects our values of growth and risk, while socialism offers the support and safety that make true innovation possible. Together, they reveal the tensions, promises, and possibilities in building economies that serve people, not just profits.

Part 2B ii: WTF is Happening in America: Socialism & Capitalism

What if corporations aren’t greedy—they’re just unregulated animals in the ecosystem? Not evil. Not broken. Just doing what they were designed to do. A lion isn’t morally bad for hunting prey. It’s doing what it’s built to do. Same with corporations. They’re built to pursue growth. Profit. Survival. They will extract, expand, and devour until something stops them—not because they’re evil, but because they’re functioning exactly as designed. So the question isn’t why are corporations so greedy? The question is: Why did we build a system with no balancing force, no accountability, and no consequences when harm is done?


It’s Not About Greed. It’s About Design.

I Grieve How Quickly I Said, No

What J.D. Vance is really selling — and why we need to name it.

A bold, honest dispatch on avoidant attachment, desire, sex, and the sacred clarity of choosing yourself. Christen Rodgers unpacks what it means to be a woman who doesn’t collapse to be loved—and why she now prefers good sleep over mediocre penetration. For anyone tired of shrinking for approval, this is for you.

Avoidant, Funded, and Free: Dispatches from a Woman Who Didn’t Wait to Be Chosen

Are We The Body or The Virus by Christen Rodgers

Avoidant by Design explores the founding psychology of the United States through the lens of attachment theory. Blending personal narrative, historical reflection, and cultural critique, this essay examines how America’s fierce independence—while brave and necessary—was never metabolized into secure interdependence. From 1776 to modern capitalism, we trace how avoidant patterns shaped not just our politics but our architecture, values, and collective nervous system. It’s a call to evolve—not by rejecting our roots, but by maturing them. For anyone questioning the systems we’ve inherited and yearning for something more relational, beautiful, and whole—this piece is for you.
