Something to be said for people on X reconstructing neoconservatism from paleoconservative principles. Just pick a bogeyman like "third worldism," say it's being psyopped by the establishment, and that they oppose US militarism. It is now Based to start a war with Iran.

This is how they rationalize Trump hooking up the public treasury to his personal bank account BTW. All that stuff about meritocracy and competence is a facade for "fuck you, got mine" tribalism.

Trump admin disclosing how deeply complicit Grok was in waging the War on Iran in a court filing to justify letting xAI pollute the air around black communities in the south is a bit much.

People talk about wanting more attention paid to Sudan but, I don't know man, you really want people presenting the RSF as either the woke or anti-woke side? Be careful what you wish for.

When the Red Scare podcast started out wasn't the name of the podcast a cheeky comment on Russiagate paranoia? Just seems kind of weird now that Anna constantly posts about how the US needs new Palmer Raids.

The trajectory of "emotional blackmail" is one of the most hilarious developments in right-wing phraseology. Literally using Tumblr therapyspeak to assert that it's a form of abuse to point out the predictable consequences of their preferred policies.
