Peter Marino @mondium.ai · 04/10/2026Not only is this insane - I also can't believe Tom Cotton is the only thing saving us from this obviously dumb idea that we already tried once and hated Why is there such enthusiasm for this idea for which we have living memory of failing badly? 000

Peter Marino @mondium.ai · 03/10/2026It is, I fear, far more aggressive and rapid than the American public (and DEFINITELY the American media) would be comfortable with. The bad faith wailing "Can't we just get along?" would be near impossible to resist for the media apparatus to resist in its current form 021

Peter Marino @mondium.ai · 02/10/2026The "guilty pleasure," often just "Camp," a category that worked quite well! And I forget from whom I heard this first, but the existence of Camp implies the existence not simply of Good Taste and Bad Taste, but "A Good Taste OF Bad Taste" 1191

Peter Marino @mondium.ai · 27/09/2026That wasn't a cult so much as it was just exploitation for its own sake by the whim of the powerful, which requires even less reinvention 010
Peter Marino @mondium.ai · 27/09/2026People just keep reinventing the sex cult every few decades. The binding ideology is entirely fungible and entirely irrelevant; the sex and control are the point The only major innovation this time is that the people doing the reinventing are actually socially powerful. 36912

Peter Marino @mondium.ai · 26/09/2026I forget where I saw it pointed out first, but a big part of the mid 20th century success of center right parties is that they absorbed the reactionary vote that had nowhere else to do. In other, institutional conservatives should oppose fascism FOR THEIR OWN INTEREST 020

Peter Marino @mondium.ai · 26/09/2026It is not at all obvious that he or his son have anything remotely approaching the finesse necessary to oversee and encourage high-quality creatives under their control to do good and unencumbered work 100
Peter Marino @mondium.ai · 26/09/2026Also, I strongly suspect he is deeply discounting the willingness of senior creatives within the new entity to jump ship and pursue their own projects simply out of spite and hatred towards him and his endeavors 100

Peter Marino @mondium.ai · 26/09/2026I would also suggest, at this point, that the assertion of the piece is, in 2026, an insufficiently novel argument to warrant such a brief treatment. Either give us a legitimately different angle on the idea, or give us a lot more depth. As you say the piece is *fine*, but bland 000
