Stephen Miller is doing raw, open white supremacy. The logics of Andrew Jackson and Adolph Hitler and every Jim Crow lynch mob.

And also, even the Wall Street Journal opinion page thinks the racism has gone too far, which is really saying a lot about exactly how extreme it is 🙃
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

I guess "modern American masculinity is a neotenous emotional state where the culture permits, and even cultivates, juvenile developmental qualities into adulthood" is just a fancy way of saying "everyone is twelve now"
Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino "also revered Starship Troopers, Robert Heinlein's 1959 military sci-fi classic about an interstellar war between humans and alien bugs - a book his sister says he still reads to this day."
An endless amount of deranged details in this interview with Greg Bovino's sister, but most notably that his uncle produced the Jack Nicholson movie The Border and the depiction of the agent as corrupt radicalized him as a 12-yr-old.

"Since then, he was like, 'Dude, I want to do Border Patrol.'"

Get bent w the phrase “purity test” ffs. Do people not get what they’re saying is “do not have standards”? “Do not change your mind when you learn new facts that are v troubling — & stfu when a person’s actions & explanations around those facts are shifty, hostile & display a lack of maturity?” 🤡

I hope everyone going to the protests today has a nice time and that nothing bad happens to them.

I also hope that they will be thinking of what their next steps will be if there are still kings afterwards.

*conservatives* are more free to speak their minds, which means Americans are more free, because the people being censored are "un-American"

that's the essence of conservative logic
This administration has been, by far, the most censorial administration in my lifetime. They're punishing people for speech about Palestine, about Charlie Kirk, about ICE, about the President. It's been nonstop attacks on speech.
Mike Johnson: "The last time I checked, Americans have more freedom right now to express themselves and speak their minds after Republicans took over ... it is the Republicans who restored your right to share and speak your mind."

They've had years and infinite money, and yet there has been no AI book that everyone is reading, no AI music artist that has the song of the summer, no AI movie anyone wants to watch. Seems like they should have even one of those before they get to say that's the future

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

His brand of it is particularly garish but all authoritarianism is basically government by spoiled child. No capacity for or interest in any principles. People who are nice to me get treats, people who are mean to me get abuse. I get what I want or I cry and thrash. Embarrassing
President Trump warns an Australian reporter that he’s hurting Australia because he asked him about his business activity: You are hurting Australia very much right now. They want to get along with me. Your leader is coming to see me soon, I'm going to tell him about you.

this is just a historical observation but one of the things that creates the conditions for political violence is when the entire political establishment decides to join in on the oppression of the same people, therefore making the improvement of their conditions via legitimate means impossible

These demands for gratitude are statements of implied supremacy bordering on the language of abusers: What you do has no validity unless you are endlessly obsequious to those who claim to be your betters.

The most poisonous idea that has gotten into any kind of political organising is the idea that power cares about your argument.

It should be clear, given how much talking the people with power do in the open these days, that these are not people who are capable of understanding an argument.

Most (good) solutions are proposed not by newcomers, but by people who understand an issue deeply.

There are exceptions, of course, but generally, if a solution seems "obvious", it's because you don't understand the problem as well as you think. 🧵

The reason the Dems are a failed party is because they have collectively decided that the best policy for any issue is a halfway compromise between a good idea and fascist bigotry, rather than fighting for any sort of coherent ethical framework
