absolutely flabbergasting to see people who have so enthusiastically succumbed to despair. like okay denethor, but some of us are gonna actually face the armies of mordor in battle nonetheless.

The thing about Denethor is that he not only succumbed to despair, he wanted to ensure that Faramir succumbed with him. Similarly, a lot of people now are not only succumbing to despair, they're actively proselytizing despair, trying to convince others to join them in their hopelessness. Despair is apparently lonely and they want company in their self-immolation.

btw denethor succumbed to despair bc he was doomscrolling on the palantir. Sauron tweaked his algorithm so he only saw bad news, and he fell into the trap of thinking the world couldn't be saved.

Gov. Pritzker: "I know the Republicans say Democrats aren't patriotic. We're more patriotic. We believe in this country more than they do. They're tearing down the laws. They're operating in an unconstitutional fashion. They elected somebody who is ruining our democracy."

This is correct. I think the underlying issue this piece kinda of elides tho is that a bunch of Americans online are convinced that they are communists, when they are actually just libertarians who use leftist rhetoric to rationalize their libertarianism.

Folks, we went to the Oracle of Delphi, a very beautiful woman. And she said, they told me not to say it, should I say it? She said that if we went to Persia a great empire would fall! So we’re feeling pretty good about how it’s going.

"It's too bad Stephen Miller couldn't be here tonight. Unfortunately, he had a previous commitment — mass deporting a quinceañera," Pritzker said. "I mean, white tie, you'd think he'd be into it. Maybe next year if the invite said white hood. Just think how much more damage Miller would do if he could go outside in the daylight."

The Iran war has the least public support of any US war since polling existed. Widely opposed before any impact on gas prices. It sucks that lying like this is such a successful path to online clout. Proponents don’t seem to realize it, but it cultivates a cynical despair that helps the fascists.

Another timeless gem:
Reporter 1 (11 days after writing something completely false): well gang, it turns out that I was wrong, but we'll get through this together

Reporter 2: no... in your wrongness you were more right than you could ever imagine
