On the left: a saccharine-sweet "anti-imperialist" interview of Dugin crony and red-brown neo-Eurasianist, Sergei Glazyev.

On the right: translated Telegram post from Glazyev ranting about the Rothschilds using Zelensky to populate the Dnieper with Jews and enslave Ukrainians.

some stuff about the interviewer:
Glazyev’s insanity has long been a matter of record. He was an associate of Lyndon LaRouche, as is well known, and his release from the duties of Putin’s Advisor on Eurasian Integration based on similar theories was aired in the international press. There’s no way around it.
Escobar has put fwd his own weird Rothschild conspiracy theory in the past, so his interview with a guy who puts fwd those noxious claims doesn't seem like a mere coincidence...

So in his recap of the Multipolarity conference, the Brazilian rep describes how Dugin called for "imperial restoration," and notes "the appointment of American Jackson Hinkle as representative of the International Russophile Movement (MDR) in the USA." What's the MDR? /1
Image

The MDR was established last year and is led by Nikolai Malinov, a Bulgarian former politician who was charged with spying and money laundering for the Double-Headed Eagle Society and the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies. /2

Important to note here that the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies was the same group that produced docs "providing the framework and rationale for ... an intensive effort by Russia to interfere with the [2016 Presidential] election." /3

NYT shows convincingly that Russia blew up the Kakhova dam. In the short term, I think what this will do is cause a general rethink of the popular misconception that V Putin is a "rational actor." /1

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
The best way Putin had of getting away with all sorts of horrendous stuff was playing everything off like he was just following Russia's rational self-interest as a regional power. This was never the case, as @shane_burley1 and I tried to show here. /2 newfascismsyllabus.com/opinions/ukrai…
Part of the reason ppl went along with this myth was because they wanted to convince investors, and themselves, that Russia was guided by another Very Stable Genius. Also, IR classifications balance a lot on the evaluation of rationality in nuclear situations. /3

much of this is due to liberal and centrist gate keepers repeatedly publishing anti-trans bigotry staged as appeals to reason, allowing trans rights to become the "anti-woke" wedge allows bog standard homophobic hate to spread as though it were sensibly-inclined discourse.
for a long time, a cordon sanitaire existed for the sake of generally intelligent discussions on important issues. that was demolished when peal clutching took over the mainstream after the BLM protests of 2014, and the radical right became more reasonable to the scared.
so now, if I wanted to, I could write a ludicrously foul opinion piece and send it to, I dunno, Science, and if they refuse to publish it, I can get an op-ed in the NYT haughtily showing off how the censorious Mandarins of Woke Academia have shunned North Atlantic convention.

Fascism aside, one of the things I've been thinking a lot about lately is the depth of his charismatic leadership. Trumpism has reached near-chiliastic levels of millenarianism; the more persecuted, the more faithful; the more martyred, the more encouraged. Incredible to behold. Image
The quotation is from the first edition of Norman Cohn's *Pursuit of the Millennium*, which I can't find—I only have the 1970. It shows how the "paranoid style" emerged over centuries of millenarian movements (giving, I might add, special attention to the Anabaptists of Münster).
it's all this way by design, too. the Dark Enlightenment references to "the Cathedral," constant rhetorical frameworks around "hearsay vs. Orthodoxy" and "Liberal pieties." and recall that, when Cohn was writing in the 1950s, his referent wasn't the beats, it was the Nazis.

I suppose that seals it. Interesting that he refers to his Green Book where he keeps his thoughts. In the '70s, a lot of Third Positionists started reading Qaddafi's Green Books as roadmaps to the creation of ultranationalist societies. I wonder if that's a play here. /1
When I say Third Positionist here, I mean generally a current of fascist thought that attempted to recover a kind of "National Liberation" ethos from left-wing movements (mainly Maoist) by enhancing the rev nationalist part. Qaddafi was a proud supporter of fascists in Europe. /2 Image
above text is from Sedgewick. Against the Modern World, Oxford University Press, 2004. pg. 265, talking about Claudio Mutti, who wrote the forward to "Disintegration of the System," a pamphlet distributed by his group Lotta di Popolo in the '70s and written by Franco Freda. /3

So, a man apparently of South Asian descent with a Nazi flag emblazoned with a swastika rammed a UHaul into the White House gates. Once again the far right is running with the "psychop" claim. I'd like to dig into that a bit. /1

We don't really know enough about this guy and his motivations beyond the flag and the mugshot to speculate too far. He's a fascist who wanted to attack the President. We'll see what sort of tendency/idea he had in mind. What I'm interested in here is the denial. /2
One of the first "media" sources touting the fact that the man is not white is Andy Ngo's Post Millenial. I wonder if Andy really finds non-white fascism particularly surprising. You can also look across the far right—Ali Alexander, Diamond & Silk, Tarrio, Gibson—for examples. /3
