Who we got? #UFC268

1. Welterweight championship
My read:
1. Usman’s improved striking (esp his jab) will win it.
2. Weili gonna be demon-possessed in this one. Hope Thug Rose wins, tho.
3. Both coming off championship losses, neither can afford to lose, neither knows how to go backward unless forced. Fans win no matter what.

The 2nd Amendment lives or dies with the AR-15, and defenders shouldn’t run from the “weapon of war” description. The 2nd Amendment means the right of citizens to keep & bear a basic light infantry weapon, or it means nothing at all.
You’re describing the basic strategy of anarcho-tyranny: Allow disorder to spread to shore up support for the security state among regular people even as it’s being mobilized against them.
I’m more worried about the crisis in reading comprehension.

With control over trillions of dollars and America's foreign policy at stake, why WOULDN'T a party steal an election when they know the corporate press won't cover it - actually, will censor all discussion of it - even if they get caught?
Everyone knows political operators are not constrained by ethical considerations. Our elections are absurdly insecure, The only thing ever preventing stolen elections was the difficulty of pulling it off without getting caught. But that guardrail was non-existent in 2020.
100s of untested rule changes before election (e.g, lowering signature matching standard). Unprecedented use of mail-in ballots. Chain of custody problems everywhere. Absurd statistical anomalies. 100s of pollwatcher complaints.

Media: Most secure election LITERALLY IN HISTORY.

An ICBM goes up and back down w/the trajectory of a cannonball. Hypersonics are guided missiles, travel lower in the atmosphere, and are not as fast (ICBMs travel 15k mph+ in terminal, hypersonics run about Mach 5, not quite 4k mph). 1/x
They present different air defense challenges. The difficult part for ICBMs is their sheer speed, which nearly matched the velocity of the explosion & shrapnel of our defending missiles (meaning we usually need a skin-to-skin hit to guarantee destruction). 2/x
OTOH, we know where they’re going because, well, because they’re ballistic. This limits their tactical use - say, for taking out a carrier group in the Indian Ocean. In the time it took to reach the target, the ships could simply run away and the missile couldn’t follow. 3/x

RussiaGate v1.0

In October 1924, The Daily Mail published a letter purporting to be from Soviet communist leader Grigori Zinoviev. It’s contents were chilling.

1/x
Marked “Very Secret”, it spoke of a “successful rising in the working class districts of England,” and, “it would be desirable to have cells in all the units of troops, and among factories working on munitions .” The story was headlined: Civil War Plot by Socialists’ Masters. 2/x
It was the heat of the UK election season, and Winston Churchill & other conservatives used the letter to put pressure on the incumbent Labour Party, accusing them of sympathy and ties w/a hostile power.

There was only one problem: The letter was a complete fake. 3/x

Schmitt on the proletariat:

“What was new and fascinating in The Communist Manifesto was something else: The systematic concentration of class struggle into a single, final struggle of human history, into the dialectical peak of tension between bourgeoisie and proletariat.” 1/x
“The contradictions of many classes were thus simplified into a single, final contradiction. In place of many earlier classes - capitalists, landowners, wage workers - there appears a single class contradiction. This simplification signified a powerful increase in intensity.” 2/x
“The most monstrous wealth confronts the most horrific misery; the class that owns everything faces the class that owns nothing; the bourgeois, who only possess, who only has and who is no longer human, opposes the proletarian, who has nothing and who is nothing but a person.”3/x

Thank you to everyone who has subscribed to the new MartyrMade Substack. I’ve been out of town since last Thursday, but a new subscribers-only podcast will be out this week. (1/x) martyrmade.substack.com
It’s very hard for me to promote the podcast, and I’ve relied almost entirely on word-of-mouth. Strange as it seems for someone with a podcast, I’m painfully, awkwardly shy and have trouble seeing value in anything I do. (2/x)
I spent the weekend w/very interesting & accomplished people who often approached to say they were big fans of the podcast. I invariably blushed and deflected every compliment, way past the point where it became a bit embarrassing. It’s just hard to believe or accept. (3/x)
