The thing about American reactionaries online is that they’re like “under a true Christian monarch, the West will flourish with the enlightened guidance of a philosopher king…” and it’s meant to justify supporting a senile gameshow host and a drug-addled manchild who cheats at Diablo.

MSNBC worries about the perception that they’re not fair to R’s while Fox eats an $800m libel settlement to preserve its ability to lie about Ds. That’s the asymmetry that gives illiberalism a structural advantage. open.substack.com/pub/readtpa/...

Just found out this guy who is an incredible bigot along like every dimension also doesn't like half life 2 (cos of the Vance family) and, like, yeah that does make sense I guess, but still. Still. One would like to think there are limits, that decency has some purchase.

Lists of people who have previously fallen for scams are hugely valuable, because fraudsters know that they are likely to fall for scams again. It’s common to target former victims. It’s called “reloading.”

France looked at 1940 and decided they were going to work to make sure it didn’t happen again. We looked at 1945 and decided it made sure we’d never have to work again.
