I know I dreamed the one where he stood framed dead center of a Kubrick-meets-John-Watters kitsch nightmare of fast food hillocks wearing a face that screamed "I'm a used car salesman who just murdered my wife and I'm about to shit my pants," that one didn't happen—what, really?

My book is about the tradition of American supremacy & the ways it shapes all of our lives, sabotages our natural shared society in order to steal all value from it for a few, makes others pay its unnaturally high costs ... and what we can do about it. armoxon.com/books/very-fin…
I find it useful to begin with art—with the idea that humans are art. The idea that to be a human is to be a unique expression of unsurpassable worth, whose worth is natural and inherent.

Focusing on this truth makes it easier to spot supremacy's anti-human lies.
These laws are *foundational*—literally, present at our founding. Our founding lies are:
1. We are not related to one another; a rejection of society
2. Life must be earned; a rejection of the humanity of others
3. Violence redeems; a rejection of one's own humanity

Well I'm given to understand that today & for a VERY limited time, our nation's political violence party is shocked—shocked!—to learn that we currently live in a world of normalized political violence, and would like very much to know who is to blame.

(link to essay in thread) Photo by Sandi Bachom shows a truck with a vinyl wrap depicting Joe Biden bound and lying in the bed.
I'm kidding, of course. They've already decided who is to blame. It's the same culprit they hold at fault for every other real and imaginary problem in their lives: Everybody except them.
I think we all know the news by now. Yesterday in Pennsylvania, a gunman took some shots in the direction of the former president—the adjudicated rapist, 34-time convicted felon, insurrectionist, and daily fomenter of political violence, Donald Trump.

LOST is streaming on Netflix—an excellent time to revisit the show, using the viewing guide I'm publishing in my newsletter (link in thread).

Many think the story isn't coherent. I think it was. My lens is the one the show itself suggests: a dialectic of observation and belief. John Locke holds two game pieces; one dark, one light.
This dialectic isn’t too tough to detect. There’s even an episode called “Man of Science, Man of Faith.” In a dialectic, the opposing ideas operate in concert with one another. While these ideas are oppositional within the artistic work, they aren’t opposites. John Locke and Jack Shephard sit on a beach.
The main reason I want to do this is as an investigation of story—particularly an investigation the way I look at story. LOST is story that lends itself very well to investigation of how story does and doesn’t work.

I've been thinking of American conservatism—which has proved itself irreducible from American fascism—in terms of burdens.

I find burdens an apt metaphor, because christian fascists claim to worship a Jewish rabbi from antiquity named Yeshu ben Yosef (Mr. Jesus if you're nasty). illustration of an elderly peasant carrying a clergyman and a nobleman on his stooped back
Interesting thing about young Mr. Jesus: He was very sharp-tongued with the politically influential religious hypocrites of his day. There's a whole chapter of him reading them the riot act, calling them whitewashed tombs and broods of vipers and blind guides etc etc.
It's a real hum-dinger that ends with Mr. Jesus saying he doesn't really see how any of them are going to escape being condemned to hell, and you should check out the whole thing, but today I just want to think about his open salvo, which is an amazing tee-shot.

I want to dig into this, since my book VERY FINE PEOPLE comes out tomorrow, and it's in large part about precisely this sort of polemic trickery in service of bullshit apologia of supremacy.

There's a slight of hand at the start that catapults us into the massive lie.
Let's do the slight of hand, first. The article presupposes to answer the question "Did Trump call Neo-Nazis and white supremacists 'very fine people'?

This is savvy if what you want to exonerate the comments, because it answers the wrong question, and dismisses the right one.
What Trump said is that there are "very fine people on both sides."

That would be the side counter protesting against the Nazis who organized a pro-Confederacy protest.

And then the side full of Nazis and those who found common cause with Nazis.

That's the "both sides."

THE HUMAN PROBLEM
Last week an image went viral online. It was generated by a computer from the classic movie 12 Angry Men. It added no value, and it was being used for no good reason.

It's a perfect encapsulation of where our dominant cultural narrative has brought us. A grotesque AI generated extension of a scene from 12 Angry Men.
It's my belief that things that provide positive value to humans are good, and that those who make good things should be compensated for it.

I also believe that people should have access to good things whether or not they can pay. It's the reason I love libraries, for example.
This strikes me as an appropriate way to organize society, provided that we believe society is meant to benefit humans rather than money, and that humans—being inherent generators of value and of limitless potential value—deserve the fruits of society even if they can't pay.
