The latest grift from Margarine. There must be a faux outrage meter that dials the dollars in. Before that it was AOC is mean to me! Its' a Textiful number designed to build databases for donation hustles. textiful.com
"how the alt-right has brought back into fashion traditional tenets of the reactionary, xenophobic, and often racist far-right, as demonstrated by George Hawley, and how it has managed to make these tenets appear as novel, provocative, and updated" journals.openedition.org/angles/369
"Richard Spencer coined the term “Alt-Right” but acknowledges that it was the paleoconservative scholar Paul Gottfried who inspired it" tabletmag.com/sections/news/…
Another "alt-right" ultra conservative figure who wrote extensively on the decline of culture in America is Sayyid Qutb who inspired...al Qaeda. smithsonianmag.com/history/a-less…
Do yourself a favor and rack up "The Power of Nightmares" by Adam Curtis. Hate is hate, Fear is fear.
The GOP is afraid of a bitter old broke ass casino grifter. A man who harnessed thugs to attack his own GOP Vice President in an attempt to save his own skin. What we are seeing are just more mob intimidation tactics.

"It isn’t just that these senators are putting the interests of a single man ahead of the interests of the nation; it’s also a tacit admission that the only constituents that many Republicans consider worth representing are their most partisan supporters."nytimes.com/2021/02/12/opi…
"Republican senators hoping for even a fig leaf to cover the cowardice of a vote to acquit had to have been disappointed. They were given no plausible excuse for failing to hold a dangerous man to account." washingtonpost.com/opinions/trump…

Seth's internet panties are twisted because a journo wrote a hit piece. He is a lawyer, call the owner not the lackey. I had a bizarre hit piece by DW and I called the board of directors who then immediately acted. The DW reporters "stood by their source" but never contacted me
Smear pieces are a reality because they can get away with most of them. Here is one by three journos that work for the New York Post. Placed to coincide with a lawsuit linked to a failed Erik Prince project when Reno wouldn't shit money. nypost.com/2019/01/07/cou…
Here is another silly smear piece linked to a contentious meeting I had with Dorian Barak and Erik Prince. Again not Wiener laptop or Hunter Biden porn level quality but an example of how the internet works. alekboyd.blogspot.com/2013/05/credib…
YouTube well intentioned attempt to show the world on my birthday. Ridley stole Rick Smolan's "Day in the Life' jam and called it "Life in a Day" .

for many years the ultimate ego stroke was a vanity coffee table book that you would pay for and use a promotional item. Now books are just those things you see in the background of blurry zoom calls. architecturaldigest.com/story/should-y…
"Less than one percent of Americans do what you do: put yourself on the line for the rest of the 99 percent of the Americans you represent."
The actual number of active duty is 1.3 million which is less than one half of 1 percent of the U.S. population. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
The number of active duty troops could expand with just under half a million national guard members. In active theaters like Centcom there are 1.5 contractors to each military member. America also have a vast military industrial complex. csis.org/analysis/us-mi…
If you add "Homeland Defense", US-based contractors, and the supply and service system it becomes increasingly larger. Here are 2018 numbers: washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
