, I'm finally getting around to the Heinrich Himmler episodes, and... this is definitely Vance for us, right? Thought it might be Miller up front but something about the smarminess and deep seated cringing kissass energy really sells it as Vance for me.

Like we really need to internalize that the response to fascism is to reject any equivalence between violent, supremacist, or exceptionalist ideologies & other ideologies that are defensive, communal, or constructive. Even when the former masquerade as the latter. You just have to reject that.

An outstanding interview. Patrick Iber of Dissent Magazine has interviewed the legendary Polish political scientist Adam Przeworski about de-democratisation in the USA, and what lessons heâs gleaned from Chile, Peru & beyond. Iberâs questions are stellar. Przeworskiâs answers, chillingly candid.

I came from Kirk's world. It is a standard evangelical dualism to profess love for the targets of their violence, even amidst the act. And their targets aren't going to be recently-ex-Maga white boys with guns like the actual shooter -- they're going to be trans and queer Americans like his partner.

âSincerityâ has been the sand trap of American public life for a century. So many conflate it with virtue in itself; so many others, encountering ugly politics, focus on what they then imagine must be their lack of sincerity, rather than the facts of real, sincere, brutality.

Some pundits praise Erika Kirk for her forgiveness, calling it an example for all. This is witless. One neednât question the *sincerity* of her statements to do the basic work of reading public politics as such, by asking âwhat does *she* mean? What do her followers hear?â

This is a poorly framed question. Lots of conservatives would cut off a family member for being LGBT, for example, but that doesnât clock as a âpolitical viewâ to them. Also, the narrative that leftists cut off their conservative family members too easily is extremely widespread on the right.

A valuable point. Good folks busy living their lives rather than following international politics can fall into trap of believing that massive crowds canât be beat. In fact, they often are. This shouldnât discourage us; it should strengthen our resolve.

Iâve seen that movie before, studying democratic backsliding & autocratisation worldwide. From Tunisia to Peru & beyond, democracies over just the past decade, even, have broken down when people see politicians through the prism of hopeless cynicism. Itâs why I wrote this đ§”.

Democracy dies not only in darkness, but in cynicism. When people lose faith in electoral politics as a vehicle for change, or start preaching purist extremism that indicts coalition building, they opt out. That makes it so much easier for autocrats to plow right on in.

Were there even a hint of even rightwing sincerity about the goal of stopping gangs, weâd know the names of the alleged criminals. U.S. & its little Belarus, El Salvador, refuse to reveal to anyone the names. This is the UN definition of âforced disappearance,â a human rights crime.
