really illustrates just what a pathetic bit of theater this is there are simply not large scale riots going on, there’s a clusterfuck of an ICE operation that went badly in one place yesterday if LA was full on rioting I promise everyone would know

Today's @bostonglobe.com buries Trump's assault on Los Angeles on A11, with this incredible headline about ICE's "LA efforts" Trump has openly declared his intent to do this to Boston, too! How will the Globe cover ICE agents firing tear gas down Boylston Street? Maybe back page of Metro section?

I whole-heartedly believe this, to be clear. When you run around playing at being an insurgent, you are, to use the failed Messiah Ken Keysey's words, "being a part of their movie". You can't beat the fascists if you're a part of their movie, because their movie ends with them winning.

Sending 2,000 troops to Los Angeles is the same thing as sending a few dozen random people to a gulag in El Salvador, they're doing this because it's a thing they've always wanted to do, not because of any broader goal or coherent plan. Subordination of strategy to tactical planning.

Just to make it clear to you guys- having to yoink the NG away from the governor and dispatch them at platoon strength because 400 zoomers are camped out in a Home Depot parking lot is regime weakness. In indicates how little power you actually have.

The thing about authoritarian regimes is they are built on the perception of being more untouchable than they are. Kilmar's back in the US because of court orders, the feds can't get civil disorder in LA under control — this stuff is very bad for maintaining for that illusion.

"Well the thing you have to understand is that fascism is a very specific term referring to a vague and undefinable set of precepts, Trumpism is more of a sort of hybrid populist strongman movement that-" shut the fuck up you insufferable failson it's fascism

no man, i don't think we should reinforce the norm that the soldiers of the republic are the personal playthings of the president, made to march around like so many of frederick william's tall boys at the king's whim

An extremely unexamined area in US politics is the need to completely rebuild the weapons regulation architecture here. Part of the toxicity of gun control is the absolute shambles that is the regulatory environment. It’s a mess that requires both technical and moral answers that no one is finding

This is also why the ‘actually warhammer is a satire’ stuff really falls flat, like my views on religious pluralism would be different in a world where the wrong faith being practiced opened portals to hell, sorry!

Far too many in pundit world still see political capital as an either something that quickly recharges, like mana in Diablo, or else - as someone else said - a leveling up effect ala BG3… Ironically enough - the Trump Theory of Exercise is correct in this case: the more you use, the less you have
