  1. A quotation from Hoffer

    Propaganda thus serves more to justify ourselves than to convince others; and the more reason we have to feel guilty, the more fervent our propaganda.

    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 3, ch. 14, § 84 (3.14.84) (1951)

  4. "Ideological clowns" are out, "patriots" are in. The media is treasonous. Load up the testosterone, yee-haw.

    And #Hegseth smears a protected class (whose protections were upheld by the Supreme Court).

    Go figure, since he has no class.
