I love that the treasonous chuds all went through the capitol unmasked and easily identifiable. Dipshits are so horny for cool looking tactical gear they never once considered the virtues of anonymity when you're doing crimes.
Like, four years on nobody ever doxed the guy who punched Richard Spencer. Widely circulated video, tons of eyes on it, but nobody ever IDed him because he wasn't dressed like a goddamn viking clown or wearing his fucking work ID.
$20 black hoodie on Amazon = better infosec than the entire fucking Proud Boys. You love to see it.
Motherfucker could have carried zipties in a black hoodie but noooooooo and now he’s doxed
You can wear a hoodie over your damn tactical gear, but nah, gotta look like the fucking Punisher.

Larpers. The Capitol was stormed by fucking Larpers.

We’re going to have to be careful, in the short term, to actually be precise in our use of the word “fascist,” a word that describes specific approaches and aesthetics and is not coextensive with “conservative” or even “extreme conservative.” Trump absolutely was one.
But most of the GOP was only opportunistically so. Rubio, McConnell, Graham, and their ilk are not fascists. Cruz wasn’t before but might have become one. Hawley 100% is. The House GOP generally skews more fash than the Senate.
Obviously “opportunistically fascist” is still fucking terrible, and should hang around their necks forever. But fascism should remain a clear boundary that changes how leftist action unfolds—a marker of a specific kind of crisis that supercedes a lot of other concerns.

They’re such a fucking disgrace to their gods.
“Odin wants us to make a milquetoast press release to No True Scotsman racists acting in his name.”

Yeah, Hel Blinder, God of the Hanged, Glad of War, Battle Wolf, Screamer, Father of Victory, Inciter, the Terrible one, definitely big on fucking press releases. Dipshits.

A thing I legitimately don’t think I made clear enough in NAB but that is crucial to understanding the current moment: Trumpism is an upper middle class movement.
While working poor Trump supporters exist, they are mostly a useful smokescreen to pretend that Trumpism is about the white working class. It is not.
The archetypal Trump supporters are property managers, small business owners, dentists—people who have risen far enough to enjoy a life of privilege and luxury and who will happily see people die to maintain it.

I have complex and mixed feelings about Trump's Twitter ban. On one level it's obviously good, in the sense that it makes the world a tangibly, measurably better place. But oof, what a precedent.
It's not, obviously, a free speech issue. Free speech is meaningless if it does not include the freedom to exclude people from your platform. It's as insane to demand Twitter host Trump as it is to demand Eruditorum Press do so.
Nevertheless... a corporation just shut off the ability of the most powerful elected official in the country to quickly disseminate speech. That's a fuck of a rubicon to be on the other side of.

Someone told me it’s my ten year anniversary of starting TARDIS Eruditorum. So, a follow up to my thread about getting writing careers started and how I’m a useless model. This time related specifically on writing about Doctor Who from a me-influenced perspective.
First advice: don’t. It’s an oversaturated market that’s past its peak. Maybe in 5-10 years if the show has a huge spike in popularity again, but right now you’ve got too many people doing the same thing.
There are other pop culture properties. Some of them are wide open! The peak window for a massive cultural history of Marvel probably just passed, but you could still get on it. DC’s probably just about to pass. Star Trek continues to have room in it.

OK. This isn’t worth my or indeed anyone’s time, but you know what, it’s worth covering the basics occasionally, so let’s take five and unpack why this and its follow-ups are fucking stupid.
First of all, to make a very obvious point, there’s not actually an alternative to using money in 2020. A girl’s gotta eat, capitalism has material power and thus I am stuck using money despite money’s evident stupidity as a concept.
This is literally just “and yet you participate in society.” My beliefs about how the world should work do not magically change the way it does in the here and now, and it’s not hypocrisy to decline to starve to death out of farcical moral purity.
