Constantly concerned Collins thought she was waiting on a lady in the general election until sexy Graham started up like Mick Jagger. Will his Nazi tats prove he’s not a slave to the BlueSky left and help him hang fire in November?

It's a goddamn SS totenkopf, not a Jolly Roger. Even if I believed it was an honest mistake, having it that long without knowing shows remarkably poor judgement. It's not like they can't find another basic white dude to run as a progressive in Maine. Skip the one with genocidal ink.

I bet living with someone who really enjoys watching TikTok without headphones is grounds to legally break a lease.

This would be the most of this moment thing to happen.

I must not engage in discourse. Discourse is the vibe-killer. I will face the discourse. I will permit it to pass over me and around me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the discourse has gone there will be nothing. Only vibe will remain.

It’s the freakin weekend

when you see "satanic baby-eating pedophiles" or "globalist lizard people" or "blood drinking Ba'al worshippers who run the world", what's happening is that person has slipped into the antisemitic conspiracy fantasy world of the ontologically evil at the expense of materialism or class analysis

man holding a gun labeled "bog-standard antisemitism" with a silencer labeled "'satanic'"

there's this thing that happens regularly where a guy will lay out just the most grotesque, well-trod antisemitic conspiracy fantasies imaginable but change one word to make it slightly less obvious

when it's to this one, Satanists crawl out to defend ourselves from something we aren't targets of

So Epstein flat out asked Bill Gates "how do we get rid of poor people as a whole" and one of his friends was like "I HAVE AN IDEA!!!!".

Aide Wearily Begins 5th Explanation Of Why Trump Can’t Pardon Prince Andrew WASHINGTON—Exhausted from repeated efforts to explain the most basic aspect of political power, an aide to President Trump nevertheless began wearily explaining for the fifth time Friday why he couldn...

“I know Andrew is a good man who’s been treated terribly, but you remember when we learned a few minutes ago that England and the United States are two different countries?” said Senior Advisor Gerald Donovan

unfortunately Rumsfeld's "known unknowns" bit is actually...a really insightful and reasonable way to look at planning for dangerous situations. I think about it all the time in my work. Pity he didn't actually understand what he was saying.

Good, a new _Cast a Deadly Spell_ would be fun

So yes, the fact that it's all on purpose also connects to how, given the choice, the fascist would rather create a system that ensures mass death for probably most of the world (which they favour for people who don't look like them) than risk the "chaos" required to maybe save life on Earth.

And of course, fascist politics is the politics of "order" uber alles and "order" par excellence at the same time. That's quite obviously at the root of all fascist violence, designed to extinguish "chaos" of heterogeneity, the Other and the wild.

In a way it sort of does come back to "order" and "chaos". For the order prized by fascists, conservatives, and liberals alike, the kind of changes really needed to save us all really do amount to "chaos", because the order that they are trying to preserve can't continue if we all want to survive.

By contrast, conservatives and liberals cover their ears either way, believing that the order of their preferred way of life is in no real danger, either because there is no problem or that, with the power of "progress" (usually meaning minor regulatory changes or technofixes) will save the planet.

Like standard conservatives or, hell, liberals, fascists, including white nationalists, are people who value the continuity of order, or that of a certain idea of civilisation, above the continuity of life on Earth as we know it. The difference is that fascists are actually conscious of this choice.
