I swear to god, ever since Altemeyer's seminal work on authoritarianism, the damned fascists have been desperately trying to argue, "Nuh uh! It's the commies!"

I'm basically a soothsayer. Comic from 2007 which was NOT 9 years ago turns out

Weedmaster P: Americans can't build a car that stays together or a shoe that costs less than ten thousand dollars but boy howdy we sure can build one hell of an internet huh Jeffrey: Yeah. Jeffrey: America invented the internet because they were afraid Russia would drop bombs on us from outer space. [[A bomb falls]] Weedmaster P: Maybe some hype shit will get made because of the global war on terrors Jeffrey: A vast computer network that believes in "evil", costs a billion dollars an hour and says the same 5 phrases over and over. {{Underneath}} Instead of showing you pictures of cats Internet 5.0 will question your patriotism

And also surrender on decarbonization. That's what they think it's going to cost us to defeat fascism, despite record-low voter approval numbers for the fascists. They want us to murder every trans woman and accept the desertification of everything south of Minneapolis. While we're already winning.

Read the article, not just the headline, because this is what "abolish the police" really looks like. It doesn't mean no peace or law enforcement. It means that any entirely corrupt dept should get disbanded and their responsibilities assigned to a new or higher agency.

"Musk ... might be the world’s richest man, but someday someone else will be, and if we continue to let wealth inequality grow and valorize strongman posturing over strength of character, there’s no reason why the next Musk might not be just as bad, if not worse."

Younger people don't know this, I think, but in the aftermath, when President Bush was asked what ordinary Americans could do about it, he literally told us not to do anything. Go shopping. Take your family to Disneyland. I knew already on that day that we were going to lose the US/Afghan war.

1. Shelters generally give you a bunk in a huge room full of people. A tent in an encampment gives you at least SOME privacy, some space that's yours. 2. Most shelters kick you out every morning, and have a curfew at night. 3. Shelters don't allow pets.

Did you read Greg Palast's book _Vulture's Picnic_? He makes the case that his long string of successfully breaking stories about corporate and official corruption was due to his rule against hiring anyone with a journalism degree. Instead he hired subject-matter experts and taught them to write.

Second-biggest, in my case. In Paddy Chayefsky's 1976 movie *Network,* one of his predictions was that the news would go from reporting on what happened to what they think is going to happen. We laughed at this idea. At the time.

We still have the cultural image that actual Nazis were defeated in the 1940's, and the remaining Nazis are either unemployed basement-dwellers or fringe militias in Idaho. There is still a reluctance by media and business leaders to say openly that the world's wealthiest person is a Nazi.
