The number of people into Nazi shit that are running right now is making me ill.

They call him an activist.
Of what though?

Maineβs gonna do Maine though and we prob will wind up with this guy.
Heβll be a privileged douchebag with a racist backstory, LARPing as Daniel Boone.
And really I wouldnβt care if he actually were part of the working class as we know it today, heβs a guy who had a Nazi tattoo that still reposts Nazi content.
He can grow a beard, make artisanal beer and drive a truck, he wonβt be Bob struggling as a janitor to feed his family.
Thereβs a very wide birth between works as an oyster farmer and owns an oyster farm.
Just because you chop your own wood for your cabin doesnβt make you working class, gruffy Maine blue collar American. Not when most of the actual working class only dream of having a cabin to chop wood for.
I have Ryan Grim blocked everywhere he exists but fwiw:
yes class is weird in Maine.
But it doesn't matter because idk why we're discussing the precise class status of the nazi tattoo guy.
There is not actually a class where that becomes less of a problem.
Prep school kids are not working class.

I wouldβve had a hard time believing Noem if sheβd claimed the killings were an accident and that no one should be shot that isnβt a clear and present threat.
But Noem didnβt even do that. The brutality was no accident. And wasnβt incompetence for that reason.
Do not erase her hand in it.
Theyβll write it off as failure of department head instead she did this on purpose because she in fact did.
Those killings werenβt a failure on her part. They were the goal.
Saying she was just incompetent erases her willful cruelty as an accident.
She was a competent terrorist. A competent criminal. A competent racist. A competent grifter. A competent ethnic cleanser.
Not an incompetent one.
I have been writing and talking about the incompetence/malevolence scale of bad governance for a long time. And, while there is definitely incompetence within DHS, I think it lets Noem off way too easy to suggest that, as to her, incompetence dominated her tenureβlet alone as the standalone factor.
Yeah itβs not incompetence if itβs intentional brutality.
Noem wasnβt accidentally a terrorist murderer.
My point, to be clear, is that this is a version of sanewashing.
It's not quite that, but it's blame-shifting: Blaming incompetence, where we have abundant evidence that many, if not most, of the reasons she will be remembered were either intentional or known inevitabilities.
The New Yorker Kristi Noem will be remembered as the most incompetent Secretary in the 23-year history of the D.H.S. now
I donβt think the incompetence actually is going to be what Kristi Noem is remembered for.
It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.
Thatβs wild. Rewarding Russia for leaking US intel to Iran.
Remember when I said shit was getting out of hand?
Russia has joined the war and not on the side of the US.
All of them.
Not always a pardoned J6er that commits every crime, but somehow always a pardoned J6er committing more crimes.
And theyβre usually super creepy crimes.
Seems less than ideal.

Of course, nothing bad has ever happened from giving Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt.
We already did that with the Venezuela boats.
The shit weβve done would make your insides knot.
