If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

been struggling with the idea that all of human history, all of the destruction, the suffering, the brutality, the razing, the pillaging, the salting of the beautiful fields of this planet has all led up to this. guys burning down everything built over that ruin just so they can do a coy nazi salute

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

I have loved this account on multiple platforms for years, the satire is always so sharp. I remember a while ago when the satire became more just straight predictions, as our reality has warped into surreality. I hate this timeline, but I’m grateful for brilliance like @nytpitchbot.bsky.social

for the love of God. fucking honestly. “controversial salute.” it’s a nazi stiff arm salute. literally everybody knows this. “controversial” is a chickenshit word generally (what purpose does its use serve? hint: an editorial, not journalistic one) but when we’re talking about public nazi shit gah

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.

This is how they reintroduce the Nazi salute—first as an ironic troll to trigger liberals, then the unwashed MAGA masses reclaim it earnestly. By early summer, they’ll proudly use it en masse at rallies, claiming it just means “My heart goes out to you“. Expect MHGOTY to start showing up everywhere.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

a good post, but I also recommend quitting absolutely everything for a little while and and then seeing how much information you still get regardless of trying to not know anything. it will be a lot, probably still more than you want or need to know! linksiwouldgchatyou.substack.com/p/how-to-sta...

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

I think what I find so repellent about the far-right is the sheer nihilism at its core. For all the talk of culture and identity, they are just flimsy masks strapped over, in Arendt's words "the intoxication of destruction as an actual experience, dreaming the stupid dream of producing the void.”

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.

The #DOGEbros are at it again, this time digging into private information at the Department of Education. It’s still mind-boggling and horrifically disorienting to watch all that we knew, all we had, all the expertise and dedication that was our government, be trashed by baby tech lords.
