shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

This whole John Brown thing is genuinely weird, because a few years back on the bird site I had a policy to always follow John Brown profile pics, and with maybe one exception in two to three dozen they were excellent posters.

John Brown farmed alongside Timbuctoo, a Black farming community in the Adirondacks, before Harpers Ferry. He's buried there with ten of his raiders. The graveyard is free, year-round. www.radical-guide.com/listing/john...

These stories usually get public giggles and eye rolls. But these are bad dude training camps. They prey on insecure young men and offer a way out of their anxiety: aggression, stunted emotions, masculinism, punishment as “love.”

Burrito update: I have found a burrito truck that makes burritos that are 120% of my stomach capacity. Perhaps a bit too much burrito.
Burrito in a paper boat with three cups of salsa. A measuring tape indicates it's 7 inches in length. I think this was a carne asada burrito but it's all the same in foil.Measuring tape indicating the girth of burrito. This one is 3.5" in diameter.

If we’re honest with ourselves about who we are as a country, the reality is this goes back far further than Iran-Contra, or Watergate & Cambodia, all the way to U.S. Grant’s original sin of exonerating the racist traitors, Robert Edward Lee & co., at Appomattox in 1865 From Ron Chernow’s “Grant”:

Yes. I think the consensus among US elite pundits and senior politicians that the way to protect liberal democracy is *not* to punish elite figures who violate its rules is wrong. A norm starting at least with the Watergate pardon. The opposite is true. You need to enforce the law and Constitution.

John Brown in preparation for the Harper's Ferry raid. Killing snakes and letting his people read Tom Paine. From Du Bois' biography.
Anne, the young daughter, says: "One day, a short time after I went
down there, father was sitting at the table writing. I was near by sewing (he
and I being alone in the room), when two little wrens that had a nest under
the porch came flying in at the door, fluttering and twittering; then they
flew back to their nest and again to us several times, seemingly trying to
attract our attention. They appeared to be in great distress. I asked father
what he thought was the matter with the little birds. He asked if I had ever
seen them act so before; I told him no. 'Then let us go and see,' he said. We
went out and found that a snake had crawled up the post and was just ready
to devour the little ones in the nest. Father killed the snake; and then the old
birds sat on the railing and sang as if they would burst. It seemed as if they
were trying to express their joy and gratitude to him for saving their little
ones. After we went back into the room, he said he thought it very strange
the way the birds asked him to help them, and asked if I thought it an omen
of his success. He seemed very much impressed with that idea. I do not
think he was superstitious; but you know he always thought and felt that
God called him to that work; and seemed to place himself, or rather to
imagine himself, in the position of the figure in the old seal of Virginia,
with the tyrant under her foot."The men discussed religion and slavery freely, read Paine's Age of Reason and the Baltimore Sun. John Brown himself was careful to cultivate the
good-will of his neighbors, attending with skill the sick among animals and
men,so much so that he and his sons became prime favorites. Owen had
long conversations with the people, while Cook was also moving about the
country selling maps. A little Dunker chapel was near with non-resistant,
anti-slavery principles; here John Brown often worshiped and preached. Yet
with all this caution and care, suspicion lurked about them and discovery
was always imminent.
