If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

ALSO. ALSO. Needing us to find Europeans who condemned him for his actions at the time--and there are many! So many! My God so many!--is also some white supremacist bullshit, because the TAINO PEOPLE HE WAS MURDERING CERTAINLY CONDEMNED HIM FOR IT AND THEY WERE HUMAN BEINGS OF HIS TIME TOO.
Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.
Fuck Columbus.

If you’re running for office and you cannot say that these criminals should be held responsible for their crimes and abuses then you are not worthy of being trusted with power.
Period. End of story. This is the absolute baseline for everyone who wants to be a leader right now.

They didn’t vote for Trump to raise wages or expand healthcare or improve the standard of living in this country. They voted for him so that they could dunk on their enemies online.

one thing i've taken away from surveys asking the public to evaluate trump's most authoritarian moves is that the ordinary americans have a much clearer sense of what's happening than most professional political observers
Reuters/Ipsos poll:
– 38% support Trump deploying the Nat'l Guard to DC. 46%opposed
– Among independents, it's just 28% in favor, 51% opposed
– Trump's approval remains at 40%.

A disconcerting number of high status people upended their worldviews because other people did not affirm that status in the way they thought appropriate.
And social media accelerated this because for high status people it is often the experience of people telling you that you are wrong.

Most of these unbelievable statements are just a failure of journalism. What ever happened to follow-up questions?

You ever just think about how much it sucks that Musk bought Twitter and absolutely destroyed it? Like man, that used to be where I'd meet new people, make real life friends, etc. Now, whenever I glance over there to check something, it's just unrecognizable.

I see a lot of historians showing the clear evidence that a *huge* part of the KKK-wannabe-Nazi regime we're experiencing is a direct result of the country failing to punish confederate racists and traitors after the civil war.

imo, if someone believes some races or ethnicities are genetically inferior to others, that person has revealed a weakness of mind and character that casts extreme if not irrefutable doubt on their other ideas. why would i expect them to use more rigor on, eg, housing than they do on human nature?
