tonight at 8PM EST please join me as I play the entire Call of Duty: Black Ops : Cold War campaign in one marathon session dedicated to the Brave Mujahideen Fighters of Afghanistan

twitch.tv/carteblanchfie…
getting in a tactical mindset by thinking about how today our president is a BOSS who YELLS and just TALKS about TOILETS but real heads remember when the CIA wanted WORKERS to yell at their boss and FUCK UP toilets themselves
update: we just did the brabant murders and now are doing ergenekon shit in turkey, this game is 100% Call of Duty: Gladio twitch.tv/carteblanchfie…
still at this and now we're trying to kill Castro again for some reason
finally done. I am now responsible for the deaths of hundreds of millions and, far more importantly, damage to US national prestige. I have no regrets. it's archived on Twitch, soon on YouTube; please consider supporting this absurdity on Patreon patreon.com/carteblanchfie…
frankly except for the Gladio levels and doing Operation Chaos as Reeve Whitson most of the game until the last half hour of truly LSD soaked dissociation kinda sucks
now archived on Twitch!

TFW you're not sure if you hate to see it #BlackOpsColdWar Image
we're cutting up last nights full campaign stream (6 hours!) for YouTube now but I still can't wrap my head around how, as in "No Russian," the REAL problem isn't that US operatives kill countless civilians, but that terrorists tricked them into doing it to make the USA look bad
You, a CIA agent, did a mass shooting at Sheremetyevo. You did the Brabant killings. You did Ergenekon murders. You detonated nukes the USA planted beneath every major European city in a vaguely Protocols of the Elders of Zion-style plot (!). It's the terrorists' fault though.

TFW not even the dead are safe
my brain has been broken and reformed and broken so many times over by the postmodern condition but this thing right here is so vertiginously dysphoric and perverse I am vibing on a whole new level of fragmentation
like: is this what the Nazi world in Westworld is? folks

this evening! and into the weekend! as long as it takes! I'll be streaming the new Call of Duty : Black Ops single player campaign! we're talking nonstop war crimes for freedom and the love of Reagan folks m.twitch.tv/carteblanchfie…
if you want to follow along, one of the primary histories of the actual Cold War I'll be using to balance the unhinged proto-Q jingoism is Paul Thomas Chamberlain's fantastic In the Cold War's Killing Fields, which @dimmerwahr reviewed here thenation.com/article/archiv…
and oh yeah Dan and I finally got the gigabit streaming at a full 1080 so the Miami neons are gonna *pop*

have been saying this for months: it's a fucking miracle we've gotten where we these past few days without more of this or worse happening, it's not over yet, and chiding takes about justified anxiety over stochastic terror are a bad look
the fact that there have been bad takes and much of the back and forth about a new "Civil War" has betrayed a set of blinkered assumptions both about the past and about the character of quotidian, structuring US political violence is not an excuse
the fact that many USers don't know about Dirty Wars in our own hemisphere, about the Years of Lead, or about what cops do all the time and can only think in terms of CSA vs Union 2.0 betrays exceptionalist, impoverished ideas of both civil war and what passes for civil society

the new Call of Duty: Cold War comes out next week, so on tonight's stream we'll be playing Black Ops 2 (2012). arguably the most singularly fucked up game in the franchise, it'll send us to do operator shit with Jonas Savimbi in the Angolan Civil War / South African Border Wars
topics: right versus left wing internationalisms, the Cold War as race war, the birth of the modern PMC/mercenary industrial complex, the rhetoric of "child soldiers," homosocial operator family romance, and, yeah, probably the fucking election | 8PM EST twitch.tv/carteblanchfie…
CC @dbessner this might be of interest!

though it's hard to talk about on here without sounding reductive, Trump's gains with men (except for white ones!) suggests some real grim dynamics involving class on the one hand and the complex, paradoxical configurations of patriarchal violence in our emergent police populism
I should also say that the ability of this coalition to coalesce around a tranparently patriachal ghoul like Trump - whose peformance of masculinity is hardly a heartland stereotype, and is downright campy - reveals more than just the centrality of malice and gaslighting to this
like it's scarier precisely b/c latching on to him despite his clownish, absurdly decrepit masculinity (and his racism, which increasing numbers of men who aren't white appear able to look past) speaks to the urgent and desperate conditions which preceded + intensified under him
