  • I looked up 'SNL Ukraine' on youtube and it was some of the most insidious, soul crushing regime propaganda I've ever seen. Even the most lurid liberal fantasies about repression in the Soviet Union could never envision a machine so uniquely adept at annihilating artistic dignity in its cradle as American network television.

  • There was a medieval european profession known as a "Kunstfurzer", it was a jester who would fart for the entertainment of royalty. One english Kunstfurzer, 'Roland the Farter' was rewarded handsomely with land and a manor.

    People like Noah Pinion have played a similar role for the royalty of the neoliberal age. Unlike medieval jesters, they mistakenly reason that their thinking is profound and valuable because they've made a career out of it, Roland was almost certainly not under this delusion.

  • In the past republican politicians could promise unworkable, highly ideological and impossible ends like border walls and abortion bans while doing none of them and just enacting the will of the chamber of commerce. Now true believers are in charge demanding the impossible conservative policies advocated by talk radio cranks.

  • Conservatism has never been a functional ideology, historically the cultural grievances of its voting base were managed of the political will of cynical but competent political operators. Trump inverted this order and now religious devotion to him specifically can make or break candidates.

  • Larouchism is an interesting case study in American crankery and the ongoing intra class friction between finance capital and landed or "productive" capital as Larouche called it. Also remarkably prevalent today even though it tends to mutate and rebrand.

  • There needs to be a list of every journalist who's run PR for Biden's genocide, denied death tolls, uncritically parroted blood libel about beheaded babies alongside the pieces they wrote and all publicly available information about them. I call it Project Nuremberg as a reminder that Julius Streicher was hanged at Nuremberg for doing exactly what they're doing now.

  • Imagining a scenario where as a half measure Israel is forced out of the West Bank and suddenly 600,000 fanatic settlers have to move into Israel proper. They'll instantly become hostile to the Israeli state and we'll get news about the IDF doing another crazy Waco incident every 5 days until the state collapses or the settlers nuke Iran.

  • If you look into it, most of the indpendent experts are one right wing crank, Adrian Zenz, who is 100% funded by the UK State-Owned BBC and an American intelligence cutout organization called the NED. He's a far-right Christian Zionist who doesn't speak a word of Mandarin. You should be happy that there's no genocide in Xinjiang (even Zenz has never claimed this), mad that your tax dollars likely went to fund his bogus cause, and furious that those same tax dollars are also being used to conduct a real genocide in Gaza.
