A section of an essay I think about frequently (Hanif Abdurraqib): “I think about how often me and the boys I knew and know were taught to love each other through expressions of violence. How, if that is our baseline for love, it might be impossible for us to love anyone well, including ourselves.”

Men aren’t born with a propensity to commit acts of sexual violence. It is socialized behavior, often learned through abuse itself. Take fraternities and hazing as one example. The slightly older students beat the younger ones and the cycle continues year after year. Sports teams, armies, the same.

Heterosexuality was deemed dangerous in the 90s? When gay people were being killed pretty frequently? During the AIDS epidemic?

Audre Lorde, in a 1989 commencement address, said, "Remember this, despair is a tool of your enemies. That rumor, 'You can’t fight City Hall,' is circulated by City Hall. Facing the realities of our lives gives us the motivation for action, it gives us the power to change. You are not powerless."

Nazis were able to use widespread discontent from the Treaty of Versailles and economic catastrophes to persuade Germans that liberal democracy was a failure. Nothing even close to that has happened in the US
One reason this filth remains niche slop for virulent racists and has no broader appeal is most people live in the world and don't understand what he's on about. He's pitching to a country that exists only in his fantasies. Despite some complaints most people don't think America is a desolate ruin

As an anthropologist, something stands out to me from the Epstein files: these men weren't just motivated by their depraved desires, but also wanting to be liked by the Party Guy. They were clambering for invites because they wanted to be part of the special in-group. It's sort of pathetic

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

some good news buried among the horrible behavior listed:
“The third woman said federal agents at her hotel are subsisting on microwavable bowls of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, because it’s become so difficult for them to find restaurants willing to serve them.”

I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.
They're afraid.
One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.”
