I swear to god above if I could live the rest of my life without reading an article or seeing some motherfucking feckless quisling politician say "I think there's a chance he broke a law here and we ought to look into it" I will die in peace.

You know what, I think we've got 'em this time, folks. Wrap it up. What a wild ride it's been. Sure glad it's over.

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday that President Donald Trump’s decision to ease sanctions on Russia to allow it to release diesel fuel to the global market may be breaking the law.

“I do believe there’s a legitimate case for saying the president’s not following the law,” Tillis said.

Still of Tim Robinson: Yeah, that should do it

I don't know. Pretty bad shit all the way around and the class elements are going to have to become apparent and these illusions are going to have to fall by the wayside.

Meanwhile, the Middle Class is being culled, the PMC is being replaced by tech fascist tools, but the corporate media class, owned by oligarchs and staffed by remaining institutionalists, continues to stoke the false belief that things will be fine and popular discontent is dangerous.

Relatedly, the continued delusion among the Middle Class and the Professional Managerial Class, as products and stewards and dogged loyalists to these institutions, keeps both widespread resistance from happening and maintains delusional belief in institutional saviors that just provides catharsis.

The Epstein conspiracy was a needed glimpse into how the credentialed class has participated in this process, but the ways in which institutions and institutionalists have facilitated this mess have so often gone under the radar as "day-to-day business." And it's obfuscated so much for so long.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 23h

Institutionalists are holding on by their fingernails to an illusion that they are guardians of some noble status quo, all while they have played essential roles in "light" authoritarianism that greased the skids to this next evolution that our systems require for continued functioning.

One of the last remaining shoes to drop, and one that isn't likely to come down, is institutional faith that people who gained reputable certification aren't capable of engaging in widespread fraud, abuses, and conspire with fascistic capture as many institutions are in denial about their role.

And that's what happens when monopolies and historic wealth accumulation reach a certain point. A nation state, no matter how powerful, gets bought out. America has been bought out, from Trump to the parties to the economy, top to bottom. You either change that or you don't.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

American hubris, nationalistic fairytales, and profit incentives keep people from seeing it, but it's not that hard to understand that all national interests, including the living conditions of its people, have been superseded by petty and large-scale corruption. That's it. The whole thing.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

View Trump like a tinpot dictator in another country and it's all clear. You know why they do what they do, why they hurt their country, and you know who is profiting and pulling the strings. That's it. You make that adjustment and nothing's a mystery anymore and it's way past time to see it.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Keep an eye on Trump and his conspirators, for sure, because they are dangerous and their motivations make clear things that are being intentionally mystified, but the benefactors, controllers, and larger capitalist incentives are the thing. He's a buffoonish, corrupt middle manager, at best.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I get messages from people asking why I don't focus on Trump that much anymore and it's like asking why you don't talk about gravity enough. It is what it is and it's a useful lens to make clear the larger thing that's happening, but he's just a vessel, a mascot, a front man for the larger con.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Continuing to pretend like he's a president trying to serve the country is either a smokescreen for profit or a delusional attempt to hold onto a status quo that belched him forth and put him in the office. That's it. There's no mystery here. No riddle. It is all right there in the open.

Nothing with Trump has ever been hidden. From the moment he became a public figure it was obvious he was solely a broken, corrupt, self-seeking criminal Any "analysis" or framing that continues to act like this is anything else stems from a desire to hide it or denial in aid of their favored system

This execution, for the fascists, isn’t about Hasan. It’s a public ritual of counteracting failures with Iran and communicating that both leftists and Muslims will not be tolerated. The message is simple: we control death and you don’t want to wear the blindfold.

110833

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

The state and fascists revel in control over designations like “criminal” or “terrorist” or “enemy” that then legitimizes violence and oppression. That process has been happening for so long, but when you start seeing it escalate and coinciding with new and manic actions, things are changing.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Hegseth, Trump, and others don’t understand this necessarily. They are instinctual fascists, which makes them the perfect vehicles for enabling these things. Hegseth views himself as a crusader, a performative character, and so the authoritarian project flows through him unimpeded.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Public executions, including lynchings and mob violence, are always focused on larger messages about control and power, and what we are experiencing, both with this firing squad and daylight killings by ICE, is the normalization of fascistic state power owning the right to life and death.

310032

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Fascism is grounded in creating in and out groups in which rights and protections and spoils and even life itself is the property of the former while the latter can be degraded and abused and murdered without consequence at any moment. This execution is a milestone along the road to that.

29524

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

It isn’t a coincidence that Hegseth has greenlit the murder of an “Islamist” while the US loses a war with Iran and the Right continues to fear a leftist/Muslim takeover. The execution is a cult ritual in which the subject is transformed from an individual to a larger concept.

Televising the execution of Nidal Hasan is about more than voyeuristic violence Authoritarianism requires rituals of death that seek to transform secular oppression into religious orthodoxy while communicating the need to murderously purge “the other.” jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/descent-in...

No analysis about any of the incentives pushing things, how institutions have created this situation or reform or changes needed. Just AI slop mixed with some of the cringiest supposed comedy and tireless focus on Trump. If I consumed this stuff for more than an hour I'd walk into a wall.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Yeah, it's fucking crazy. The disconnect from this little political subculture and almost universal sentiment is wild.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I usually don't pay much attention to the resistance stuff because it's mindrotting, but dipping back in for a few minutes just for monitoring and analysis is absolutely crazymaking. I can't believe what a toxic cesspool this has become, but it's truly startling.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

It's incredible how many of these personalities and accounts and channels are absolutely juiced to the gills with fake follower accounts and the juicing is noticeably parallel to the battle for the Democratic Party between corporatists and the emerging left

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I imagine it's linked to the constant and marketed fantasy of living in a different reality where the only problem is Trump and the institutions and their servants will put things to right, but the resistance culture has taken to AI as much as anyone and its solipsistic uses are welcomed happily.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

The amount of constant AI resistance liberals are consuming and either consciously or unconsciously sharing is truly alarming. Graphics, memes, "writing," "songs" I don't pay that much attention but every time I check in it is just a ceaseless flood of brainrot and I think it's...a pretty big issue

So, just to review. In roughly seven months the US has had to abandon all bases in the Middle East, flee from a British base, the petrodollar system that is the foundation for hegemony has collapsed, and we’re facing historical energy and food crises. Great work. www.cnn.com/2026/10/04/p...

People would understand what's going on if it was a tinpot dictator in a supposed "2nd or 3rd world country," but the belief in American exceptionalism has just absolutely pulverized any ability to recognize what's happening here because the evidence is just undeniable at this point.

Oh, don't get me wrong, many of them are very stupid. And in this type of situation stupidity gets rewarded as handsomely as not caring about what happens to the people you're supposed to represent.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

For the record, the American order should go away. It was lousy and brutal. But having it bought out by dictators and oligarchs in order to further their interests that made it lousy and brutal in the first place is fucking disgusting and I'm exhausted by people pretending it's not happening.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

And I guess the people who just rant every day about how "Trump and the people around him are just stupid and making mistakes" have probably got it figured out and there's no need to connect those dots with the amount of obscene wealth they're making from making these "mistakes"

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

And it's strange that with every move that further weakens the American order that that president and his fellow conspirators are signing deals with members of the alliance to overtake America that enrich them at the expense of allies and strategic concerns I don't know. Hard to understand, I guess

110119

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Have to imagine it's a coincidence that all these things are happening that further the destruction of American interests and they all involve a coalition dedicated to surpassing and replacing the American order and the president is overtly corrupt and obliviously a supplicant to their leaders.
