Exactly, we need a pipeline, an infrastructure, an ecosystem, that gets our basic ideas out to essentially the whole population, and then draws people in to engage more deeply, one tiny step at a time, until a few become a cadre of real theory nerds, and then actual thought-leaders and contemporary theorists. (And note that the theory nerds and theorists are not necessarily “the vanguard” but can/do overlap.) It’s up to us to find the best way to reach different audiences who are at different levels. And as a movement we’re not nearly good enough at this but we are gradually improving. I think the original video is basically correct, but arguing against a bit of a strawman, we’ve mostly moved beyond that point at least.


We already have a few spare settler colony states stashed around here and there I think

I don’t see how the US has any viable options other than bombings. Anything else has such high risks I doubt they’d attempt it. Bombing is plenty bad enough obviously, but seems unlikely to achieve their goals.


Feels like they’re not even trying to convince anyone, just provide a script to for friendly media to spoon-feed their most credulous and most cynical supporters.
I guess if they have a short, tidy little war then people will just kinda move on and forget about this, so it sort of works in that case. But if anything happens to cause sustained attention, this kinda bullshit will completely fall apart and wreck the credibility of everyone involved. And I feel like it’s already reaching that attention threshold just because Trump can’t resist making everything into a spectacle.


Huh, didn’t realize they were used for refueling. Apparently mostly used to top off other aircraft after takeoff but before their mission. Wouldn’t think that would be worth the hassle in most cases, especially with such short distances as this would be. Interesting.


Oh I was confused for a second because I thought you meant the other rule “porci testes, faeces testes”


They’re desperately looking for some post-neoliberalism that avoids all of its problems, but preserves the parts that benefit them. Unfortunately those are the parts that caused all the problems.

phase out gifted and talented programs for kindergarten students.
They’re kindergarteners, I don’t think they need to be ranked and categorized by mental talent at that age, maybe wait until they learn multiplication and division before deciding which ones are on the fast track to advanced degrees.
No idea if he’s even doing this, but he should.


Contrarian take: if the deep state/intelligence/whoever finally decides that Trump is more trouble than he’s worth, this would be a good way to get rid of him. If the files were just leaked randomly, sure, not much would come of it, like so many other leaks. But as an organized limited hangout, with a lot of media support, they could selectively bring down Trump and a few other inconvenient people this way, and then consider the issue resolved. I mean if the whole point was blackmail, presumably they’ve had contingency plans along those lines for a long time.
Just one possibility, but feasible I think.

If nothing else, eventually people will leave the field, and fewer new grads will enter the field. Might take 20 years though, who knows.
