Fascism in the '20s and '30s arose from military defeat, national trauma and extreme economic instability. Present-day fascism seems to arise from boredom, impatience and chronic public amnesia.

unsurprisingly the "truth" one discovers from this Sigma Male Mindset is that of the opium-addicted aristocrat degenerate: * I should be allowed to rape my servants * Human life has a naturally enforced hierarchy * The people cannot decide their fate * I shouldn't be bound by even capitalism ..

Ppl keep telling me about how in Europe they would simply ban bigoted political movements and right now Germany's highest-polling party is openly Anschlusspoasting without any fear of consequence.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

one of the exhausting things about modern antisemitism is antisemites insisting that perfectly normal behavior like diaspora nationalism is a sinister conspiracy, and then diaspora nationalists insisting that describing the same perfectly normal behvior is blood libel

specifically, a lot of the traditional problems of american politics come down to the unwillingness of american voters to accept personal or short-term losses of luxury in the name of longer term gains or egalitarianism. these guys have reduced the luxuries and done nothing else

It's really funny seeing far right reactionaries who nonetheless genuinely want the 1950s back discovering that they are in bed with ppl who want 1936-1942 back. Area Tory reactionary discovers his interviewer wishes the Blitz had gone the other way.

Trump’s superpower has always been that he radiates an anti-gravitas field, such that anything he touches becomes seen as fundamentally unserious. This has allowed Trump to pursue wars, tyranny, and corruption of immense gravity, while everyone tries to avoid looking like they care too much.

The reason Dems have to investigate and prosecute - legally or administratively, as appropriate - where there is evidence of wrong doing is to prevent those found guilty from ever touching the levers of power again. I don't care if it's getting Al Capone on tax evasion. Get it all on the books.

i guess part of what i'm suggesting is it's a question best answered by regularly using it. i understand some people don't want to do that for ethical reasons, which i support. but i think they should recognize that also likely limits their ability to comment usefully on Al's capabilities and limits

there is a pretty common type of “progressive” whose idea of an integrated society is a sort of unreconstructedly modernist “we will crush all existing cultures and religions and integrate everyone into the splendid, shining future of Progress” and like, that isn’t actually a tolerant society!

It's important to him because he's a white supremacist, which is the same reason he avoids mentioning the Nazis or Confederates when he lists the foes America has defeated. My guess is at least one of his speechwriters believes the wrong side lost in WW2, if Hegseth doesn't.

mountain_laurel @IsaacBarl... .2h ... i am a socialist. i think that the way to fight against racist rich ppl (lets say ppl who live in soho) is to work within popular movements to fight evictions, abolish the police, and empower the poor to design the city they want. Or to key the rich's cars and tag their walls

This law is intended to make it easier to find pet-friendly housing by making it illegal for landlords to limit the breed and/or size of pets that can live in their properties. It will have the opposite effect as landlords adopt blanket "no pets" policies.
