And I suppose, as punishment for our hubris, we get Curtis Yarvin, the dumbest philosopher-of-power-worship that I am aware of.
It seems like in each age we are doomed to have a Guy who rises to 'intellectual' prominence simply on the thesis that "the people with wealth and power are actually better and deserve wealth and power" and yet Curtis Yarvin is somehow the dumbest of these guys yet to have arrived.

Many older cars, of course, look cool. But they're also less fuel efficient and much less safe, with fewer creature comforts and also generally much less reliable.
Some ask why US military leaders don't object to war crimes or refuse illegal orders. It looks like Adm. Holsey didβjust not in publicβand got pushed out for it.
Do I know that for sure? No. Though it's at minimum a reasonable suspicion. That's exactly why Congress should subpoena him and find out.
Anyway, between the formatting, the writing style and the open white supremacist ideology ("We want Europe to remain European...") you can tell that Pete Hegseth stayed up really late and wore out more than a few crayons writing it.
You can also tell that from the whisky stains.
This is also where I stand

If you told me this was a psy-op to make me rethink my moral opposition to the death penalty, I would at least have to think hard about you being right.

There is no evidence of this. I am disgusted. The measles outbreak is American-grown due to declining vaccination coverage in response to disinformation.
Ultimately, by hook or crook, the Supreme Court and/or U.S. Congress will eliminate birth right citizenship, the law dictating humans born on U.S. soil are automatically citizens.
