Not sure America will ever be able to accept how Iran has humiliated it.

Looks like a lot of LEO dudebros I've known. Idiots making their insecurity into everyone else's problem. Can speak from experience that these kinds of man-children make everyone less safe.

Too much old imperial poison in these systems, treating the poors like they must be "colonized" to be more like the rich.

Hey Ukraine as an American I say blow that shit up. If our problem was a lack of diesel we'd stop exporting 1.5m barrels/day of it. Trump's fake deal with an imperialist dictator will not impact our diesel prices and should have no impact on your survival strategy.

Because even many "good Americans" are so full of latent fascism that (in their mind) America cannot be wrong, it can only be wronged. It's not that America has a uniquely shitty culture, it's that all national pride is bad.

Pretty much. In my unfortunate experience, Nazi weebs see Japan as the ultimate "trad" ethnostate. I figure the proliferation of Nazi weeb accounts online is partly that, partly the old fascist thing of latching onto popular youth culture. Can't speak for the others. Very much not an anime fan.

America is a stupid land with no memory where we debate taxing the wealthy like it's some kind of dangerous new political theory. And not just what we did for our entire national history until a demented bigot named Reagan plunged us into the hell of "voodoo economics".

Apostate @ap0578.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Much bigger point than people appreciate. So much of what's wrong with America today comes from "trickle down". And everyone involved knew it was bullshit the whole time. 50 years of knowing, coordinated sabotage. An entire party now built on economic treason with full media support.

We're a nation of bloodthirsty psychopaths. Many in denial, but you can see the programming activate whenever certain groups of "undesirables" are mentioned. They may not openly cheer for blood, but they'll shift from "this is never okay" to "well, it's complicated" ever so smoothly.

We don't have a politics problem in America, or even an economics problem. We have a morality problem. This is a nation being swallowed whole by greed. The degenerates responsible will never surrender their stolen power. The social fabric has rotted to nothing. We the People are on our own.

Both reflect the same alliance of Puritan hatemongers and psychopathic industrialists that forms this nation's cultural bedrock. The Puritans enforce the social order that the industrialists prey upon. They collude, now and always, to keep the commoners weak, divided, and submissive.

Morally, it's cowardice. But they're betting polite society will tolerate this. Worst case, they change the name back later. Any true appetite for going after collaborators in this country? Would be nice, but probably not. Cowardice begets cowardice.

It's so fucked up that psychology classified queerness as various kinds of mental illnesses with no supporting empirical evidence for decades, but has never considered hoarding extreme amounts of wealth as at least a *potential* symptom of mental illness. Especially given [gestures broadly].

Rest in peace, Wendell Berry.

The Peace of Wild Things
Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

from Openings: Poems (1968)

I think saying “X is bad,” even basing your political identity on X being bad, but being unwilling to do or commit to doing anything structural to address X is pretty characteristic of liberal politics generally at this point

It’s genuinely difficult to articulate how evil destroying USAID was. And it’s weird bc some people are so committed to the US anti-imperial angle that they skip right over the “literally the worst excesses of capitalism, the world’s richest man just decided to turn off money to poor people” angle.
