I hope the lesson we take from this is that we shouldn't have let up even a little, rather than that resistance doesn't work. Even if the defeatists are right, that's no way to live.

Makes me think of the hypnagogic thing I read about years ago in Charles Fort's The Book of the Damned. Or, like, really sophisticated tinnitus.

"We can't fire him because he's an elected official." How long before political ads start asking, "Is this the man you want shooting at people who make him uncomfortable? No. Vote so-and-so. HE'S the man we want shooting at people who make him uncomfortable." Elected β‰  Immune.

"Black colonization?" What does that even mean in this context? Are they saying that, when slaves go free, it's the abductors and enslavers who are the real victims? So, what? Are reparations owed to the enslavers rather than the enslaved? What morally and intellectually bankrupt garbage.

Get Jesse Welles to join, if he hasn't already. This movement needs more of today's protest singers.

Our system was so flawed to have allowed these monsters anywhere near the power to do these things. And now even the safeguards of that flawed system are being shattered. We can't stay here, but we can'tβ€”and shouldn'tβ€”go back, either.
