It's a paramilitary force trying to start a civil war. Full stop.

Hello the reason major media organizations are platforming Curtis Yarvin is because their owners want to normalize fascism. That's it. He's probably going to keep popping up. You should understand why.

I wish this weren't true, but we now have take his threats about Greenland more seriously, and start to talk about the world-changing mistake if he chose to go to war with Europe - which would essentially guarantee the rest of this century is China's.

Yeah I'd recommend everyone stop and seriously consider what you'd do if the US invades Greenland or declares war on the EU. Things might happen fast.

Holy crap.

Sometimes I think about that family whose child died of measles after they refused to vaccinate and then when asked if they'd vaccinated in the future they were "nah we've heard it's got bad stuff in it" That's America right now

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

Foreign investors are divesting from companies they believe are complicit in human rights violations. Draw a line somewhere.

This is 1000% correct. The far right loves barely-articulated word salad that sounds vaguely smart and ultimately gives fascist beliefs a veneer of intellectual rigor. It was Jordan Peterson's whole deal.

the internet is just: - look at this guy (derogatory) - look at this guy (it's a cat)

Just took this pic right before reading this hahaha

to get speculative: trump is obsessed with the idea of himself. it's why he puts his name on everything he touches. what's killing him now is that people regard his first term as a nothingburger and he can feel himself aging and dying. how else do you guarantee a place in history? redraw the map

Just to add to this - social media has broadly incentivized quote and dunk culture for engagement. This is usually pretty toxic and has trained people to seek out conflict, even amongst potential allies.

I think I might do this. Worst that can happen is I get a little more fit.

good time to join me on my quest to do pushups every day until the world gets better (you can do squats too)

For my first newsletter of the new year, I wrote about how the millennial generation has been ravaged by endless wars as Trump threatened to launch military operations against a half dozen countries over the weekend. www.burnsnotice.com/the-generati...

a) the Trump administration loves cocaine (see Rubio, Don Jr, Gaetz) b) Cocaine isn't harmless, but it's rarely fatal c) all of this is the most obvious bullshit imaginable

So if I have this right, the US military killed or injured 80 people to arrest someone for the crime of... checks notes... trafficking cocaine?

my second hot take is that all Will Stancil discourse could be resolved by making a website with a little dial that swings back and forth between "Will Stancil is right" and "Will Stancil is wrong" depending on his last hundred posts

My hot take is that Will Stancil is often right (and there are people that legitimately bully him), but he's also incapable of acknowledging when he's wrong and is combative with everyone that disagrees with him in a way that undermines whatever point he's making

When I was in seventh grade, my history teacher organized a school-wide World War simulation similar to the board game Diplomacy. We each started with a set amount of resources that could be used to win wars or pledged to other teams to support their wars. At the end of the first round...

You *can* get special immigration treatment in this administration...as long as you launder Russian propaganda. ICYMI @willsommer.bsky.social:

Can I just say that I can't get over how much he looks like Saddam? Like, sure history is supposed to repeat itself, but not this exactly.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine. We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

Verhoeven didn't go far enough with Starship Troopers
