  3. What a wild #knowyourenemy podcast episode...

    know-your-enemy-1682b684.simpl

    Just as a recap: Peter #Thiel, dystopian-level capitalist, argues that the #antichrist in our days would manifest - not as a tech guru, enticing as all with the promise of a better future - but as a disaster caller, serenading the dangers of #climatechange, global inequality and #AI as a means to create a one-world government / regulatory body, that will completely turn scientific stagnation to an age of darkness / or Armageddon?!? It's a bit difficult to keep track

    As the fantastic podcast hosts from Know Your Enemy point out, it's surely pure coincidence that his insights generated from deep studies of religious scripture paint every government, regulatory bodies and financial enemies (that try to protect us from the abuse of power and wealth by ruthless #billionaires such as himself) as heralds of or even the antichrist himself... Wow

    Episode Summary

    Matt and Sam talk to Robert Draper about his reporting from the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and how the Republican Party “lost its mind” in the months that followed.

    Episode Notes

    For years now on Know Your Enemy, we’ve taken the January 6, 2021 insurrection as a glimpse of Trumpism unbound—not a few naive Q-anon types and tourists bumbling around, and not an excuse to be blackmailed into voting for Democrats, but a violent prelude to what a second Trump term would be like, a judgment that, sadly, has been entirely vindicated.

    One reason we’ve taken this perspective is Robert Draper’s exceptionally insightful reporting from the Capitol that day and the days that followed, beginning with being in the Capitol on January 6 and seeing first hand the MAGA mob’s unfolding violence, then following figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, Kevin McCarthy, and others who followed Dear Leader’s coattails to power (or attention), offering fascinating portraits of the menagerie of conspiracy theorists, liars, and frauds at the center of power in Trump’s Washington.

    We discuss what Draper experienced on January and what he’s learned since about the motivations behind, and meaning, of the riot, then ask him about Greene, Nick Fuentes, and Charlie Kirk, all of whom he’s profiled in the last year.

  8. Given recent news that may or may not be politically related, I'd like to remind folks of something.

    The National Guard are military. Members join for many reasons but it generally includes a sense of service to their fellow citizens. It's an honorable role. Being military they can't simply opt out when called up. All something to keep in mind.

    ICE on the other hand is the new Gestapo. It's a job they can quit at any time. Fuck those people.

    There's a reason I go on about the #farright, particularly the influence of the US far right on #Europe
    When you have time, watch this vid and the one after it which was a year ago, and you'll see for yourself.
