Nostalgia is a fundamentally fascist impulse. The left should never traffick in these tropes because when the we cannot bring the 50s back through science or magic, the far right will be offering a much more twisted version of the same vision.

This is the sound of candidates losing the struggle against the crushing weight of partisan gravity.

This is nationalization and polarization and presidentialization swallowing everything else.

This is the dangerous collapse of dimensionality, in one chart

Tolkien understood masculinity to a level Elon Musk and fascist tech bros can NEVER understand.

All the shit they do in Call of Duty he did for real in the mud and blood of the Western Front.

He came out of that rejecting all of the macho bullshit they claim it teaches you.

Fuck 'em.

The best proof Zelenskyy is not pocketing all the aid arriving in Ukraine is precisely Trump's lack of respect for him. The man only respects crooks and billionaires.

And from image events, we get POLYSEMIC images that carry multiple forms of ideology into the present. Here, we have the convergence of Shepard Fairey's iconic HOPE poster for the Obama campaign with the frog icon from #NoKings. The is how you visually dismantle fascist iconography.

So why do I let AI in my house? Don’t I care about the environmental consequences? What about the theft of intellectual property? Don’t I understand that these are bullshit machines?

Yes, yes, yes, and yes.

It’s what I do all day long.
