As I wrote about recently, I feel like everyone’s missing a point with the whole Brian Thompson thing. It’s not about the cost of healthcare, or even revenge.

It’s about the fact that only a certain group of people are ever the collateral damage of a labyrinthine system.

Most sane people aren’t advocating murder in cold blood — they’re just acknowledging that the collateral damage is flowing in a different direction for a change.

Italians killing businessmen, the Great Powers remaking the Middle East, the French worshiping Mary, the President trophy hunting in Africa, drunk gamblers on the Jersy Shore yelling at the sky: Time is a flat circle on a hundred year turnstile.

The Jordan Peterson meme made chuckle. Not sure what it is, but it just makes me happy to know someone like that exists. I’m not even a super fan, but I appreciate his style.

Glad you mentioned Peachy Keenan’s piece. That essay was great even though she was pretty serious the whole time.

Love her usual breezy tone but she's great when dead serious.

This “woke right” and “Marxist RW” shtick needs to end. It’s all so tiresome.

Left-wing people are self-centered and irrational; it is common for them to be at each other’s throats. That a bunch of them got angry at their fellow Democrats and became Trump supporters doesn’t make them “right-wing”; it just means that there are left-wing people in the Trump coalition.

I'm glad buttons wrote that piece clarifying her situation and past behavior. She does a great job identifying all the failure points that steered her into making poor decisions.

Yeah, I appreciate the link. I had missed it. It certainly helps reassure that’s she’s not some entryist plant.

I don’t know if you do a “troll of the year” award, but I’d like to nominate the kid who rug pulled a bunch of crypto retards with a fake coin for like 30k, then created another coin called “sorry for rugpulling”, or something similar, and then successfully rugpulled AGAIN.

It was absolute cinema, let me tell you.

Lone wolf violence - propaganda of the deed - is left coded all the way down. Right wing violence is community orientated and driven. Think the Freikorps. Think of the original Klan. All violence is not created equal.

I can't believe that what worked for Cloneristic in the early 00's is what worked for me in the early 80's.
