Here's everything I've done so far on broligarchy, all in one place, starting with my Inauguration Day interview on @thedailyshow.com with Jon Stewart, through multiple BlueSky threads on the subject, some other interviews & a couple articles in @theatlantic.com. 1/9

Yes. You're absolutely right. The pathetic little cry-bullies running the US hate that knowledge, rules & stability lead to prosperity, because they suck at knowledge, following the rules & being consistent.

They want to "win" through might makes right, so they flip the table & throw tantrums.

He's living proof that there is unlimited wealth to be had in telling bad people that they are Good Actually; see also the career of Bari Weiss.

This applies to all of the broligarchs, which is why they love to pick up whatever turdalicious garbage Curtis Yarvin is putting down.

It's not simply that this CY guy is so openly bigoted.

It's the instantly recognizable Dunning-Kruger super-confidence of the barroom-savant who's telling you how everything "really" works.

Curtis Yarvin has written a very long screed in defense of his post in which he said, “Hitler spoke the truth.”

A sampling of select portions is below and includes, in reference to Jewish people, the words:

“The only way to tell is the name and the nose.”

I get a lot of questions about this tweet.
Hitler was right that Anglo-American elites in the 1st half of the 20C were irrevocably hostile to German sovereignty, and defeat, diplomatic, political, military or economic, would lead to Weimar at best, Moscow at worst

Curtis Yarvin @curtis_yarvin • 5d
Germany got Hitler because there were too many subjects about which only
Hitler spoke the truth.
This made a lot of Germans regard Hit!...

Hitler genuinely believed he was fighting a race war against an international Jewish conspiracy.
Not a trace of evidence of any insincerity.
When he bombed London his plan was to wake up Kipling's Saxons from their Jewish hypnosis. Of course he had never been to London

The live players whose actions match the models of "realist" statesmen are Hitler's enemies.
If FDR or Stalin ever did anything that did not point in the direction of total world domination, I am unaware of it. Sure, their plans did not always work out. The first time

When we look at the Jews in FDR's circle, they are perfectly assimilated as WASPs and mostly of German aristocratic descent.
The only way to tell is the name and the nose.

The Jews around Stalin are 100% Bolshevik and 100% terrified of him. They might as well be Latvians

Curtis Yarvin

While there is never 0 ethnic solidarity, elite Western Jews consider ethnocentrism (for themselves) shameful and barbaric, and/or make elaborate excuses for it / jokes about it.
Not that they're not excited about black ethnocentrism or terrified of white ethnocentrism. They are

Curtis Yarvin
@curti... •21m g ...
It's not even untrue that on average, Jews are a little less American than WASPs, and maybe even neurologically divergent from the Albion's Seed populations, not just in IQ but also in personality traits. Genes are real.
But my brother in Christ, these are very subtle effects

It wasn't Jews who first decided that there was some magic way to make all Somalis, Samoans, Sikhs and Senegalese into Americans.
Oh no. This is a 19th-century mainline Protestant missionary trope. Core Boston mindset.

As a 5th gen Chicagoan, I can say wholeheartedly that "Wait, Wait" is one of the finest things ever produced in the city. I grew up watching Bill Kurtis as a news anchor, so I was particularly thrilled by adoption into the "Wait, Wait" family.

Thanks for everything! I cherish your work.

Brooke Harrington @ebharrington.bsky.social · 1d

Me too. I learned to spell from The Electric Company and can still sing their songs from memory 50+ years later. Same with "Schoolhouse Rock."

I *was* a PBS kid. CPB shows formed me.

You can read of "Discourse on Colonialism" here; at just 50 pages, it's packed with very timely insights and well worth your time.

"Reverse colonialism" you say?

Like saying "Beetlejuice" 3x, Stephen has summoned the spirit of Aimé Césaire & the imperial boomerang.

"they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them...because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples"
--Discourse on Colonialism

Martinican poet and politician Aimé Césaire, with added laser eyes.

I remember those early days of "Wait, Wait" so well: I was still in grad school and I'd drop EVERYTHING to listen. One time, literally sat down on the kitchen floor in the middle of cleaning so as not to miss a word...rapt, the way my grandparents once listened to FDR's fireside chats!

Brooke Harrington @ebharrington.bsky.social · 1d

Yes.

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

"standards in other wealthy nations"...all of which have universal healthcare, unlike the US, meaning that:

1. limited income is no obstacle to obtaining vaccines

2. those who get sick will be treated, not left to become superspreaders

It's a little thing, but I appreciate you SO MUCH for knowing that "data" is a plural noun!

Gorgeous coloring.

"refreshing"

Warlord conquest and pillage, just like a nice cool glass of lemonade.

This administration is the moral equivalent of the Upside Down.

MS.Now headline writers, in case you're reading Ms. Maddow's feed: Trump may be "haunted," but it's unlikely to be by his pardon of the Honduran drug trafficker. If he cared about his own hypocrisy & self-contradiction, that would have been evident yrs ago. On the contrary, he seems to revel in it.

For certain kinds of lawsuits in certain states, there are legal limits on how much can be claimed in damages. He's probably claiming the max under the kind of wrong he alleges Boeing committed *against him.*

Brooke Harrington @ebharrington.bsky.social · 1d

GOOD. Godspeed to him.

Coincidentally, this is exactly how Putin treated protesters right after the invasion of Ukraine: had police haul them off within seconds of holding up tiny little protest signs in public.

[Those tempted to snark "nothing new here" or "we've already had that"--please move along or instablock, your choice. Yes, it's because I'm dEePlY tHreAtEneD by your viewpoint, not because your views are tiresome clichés pretending to be worldly wise commentary.]

Remember reading in history class about Stalin's 1930s show trials? Now you'll get to see one play out in real time on American soil.

Judge: Anything you say may be used against you. I see you have counsel, Mr. Pollack, here. If you cannot afford one the government will provide a lawyer free of charge. Did you know of these rights?
Maduro: I did not know of these rights, until now
