The "promised land" is oil and violence and racism and anti-socialism. It's... well. Yeah. It's bad.

By the 1740s you have Puritan pastors saying a crusade, in the Rhomish sense, is but a bastard; we are doing the true holy war!

Hegseth is the incoherent reincarnation of that vibe.

Hegseth is part of a White Christian Nationalist church and covers his body in tattoos with some big White Christian Nationalist vibes and associations and says the kinds of things that scream White Christian Nationalism and is part of a government doing a big White Christian Nationalism thing.

...oh. Oh wait.

There's nothing holy about attacking Venezuela unless you're pulling a White Christian Nationalism.

The Jerusalem Cross being put on a military poster for a pushed war on Venezuela is big later Crusades energy.

Not a problem--genuinely my fault for not signaling, I've seen those posts too!

*sigh* I know. I promise. I was trying to make a joke. I'm sorry it came across as serious.

Yes I remain mad about the Atlantic.

If you want socialism but only for white people (which is what excusing racism is saying), boy howdy was there a German party for you in the 30s.

Words by Native Trans Women and Transfems Native trans women are current writers and thinkers, not just historical fodder for gender theory

I have finally finished my list of 12 essays by Indigenous trans women in North America (plus some extra audio/video links). Please please please spend some time getting to know their work. Too often people use Indigenous trans women as a figure to weaponize rather than sit and think with them.

The Isthmian Script - University of Oklahoma Press The Isthmian script, sometimes called Epi-Olmec, first came to the attention of scholars through inscribed texts on the Tuxtla Statuette and the La Mojarra S...

Yes, I know, it's all bullshit! Crazed bullshit! And also! They're fascists! And every time someone puts up a Mussolini upside down meme, they see themselves hanging outside of the local Chevron!

Antifascism is their primary concern right now, the most immediate violent threat they're facing, because...

Absolutely.

Why colleges are always broke.

And she's a virulent Islamaphobe.

Fuck. Of course.

Lucas Miles' just published a book called "The Pagan Threat" and if you listen to him talk about it it's the madness you expect. Cultural marxism leading to a pagan revival paid for by "those people" for a replacement of Christians? Yeah, all the things you expect. It's bad!

Lucas Miles and Millicent Sedra and Steve Deace I was aware of. They're enough.

Why is she there???

Honestly this is a great question and like in 2017ish I would have been right there, but that bottom row is scary.

Oh my God no. Millicent Sedra is dangerous. Let her stay in obscurity!

I will say, I can't figure out what Nelda Buckman is doing there, and I don't want to look, because what little I know about her is positive and I don't love the idea of ruining it.

I'm jealous.

I pray--and I am secular, but I mean that sincerely--that @democrats.org, if (when? please when?) they retake enough power in government to govern, push Reconstruction 2.0 so hard that it actually succeeds this time. If not, the experiment is over.

I wish that was hyperbole. It's not. Pick whichever person on this board you want, research them for an hour, and then put that in conversation with the fact that the Vice President is speaking with them.

This is the death of democracy on a single poster.

Don't trust my ramblings, hate read the piece yourself:

Even the dumbest fucking 19 year old socialist stoner in my undergrad experience would never have said something that fucking stupid. The internet has broken people.
