Nonfalsifiable belief system. Similar to a cult. It's just a stack of uncoordinated, unreconciled reactions, not a unified worldview. There is no step to reconcile logically, just more rationalization to fit the narrative.
Nick Fuentes is going to start calling the killer a Patriot while simultaneously the rest of the right calls it an antifa false flag. It’s fucking incredible to be alive right now, when the truth is just a non entity in any discussion of politics.

Really interesting how people internalize a preference for strength, size, and masculinity, even while professing leftism and inclusion.
I happen to be 6'4", deadlift 450 (meh), and had a fellowship to study wrestling. I also happen to think none of that is relevant re socio political analysis.

Yea but that one guy had a Mexican flag or whatever
The Posse Comitatus Act bars federal troops from participating in civilian law enforcement except when expressly authorized by law. This 147-year-old law embodies an American tradition that sees military interference in civilian affairs as a threat to both Democracy and Personal Liberty.

Really interested in which forces will win out regarding Russia's war economy. Despite Putin's renewed interest in fostering arms sales, serious headwinds are growing.

We've reached the "narcissistic authoritarians claim personal credit for peace talks" stage of the crisis between India and Pakistan. While cringe, it's an optimistic development as these people don't want to be wrong.

Wetzel seems to think syndicalism is the cure for this. Not sure I'm convinced, but interesting book so far. This summary of Erik Olin Wright also an excellent summarization of what I see as the typical/likely outcomes of choosing sexy revolutionary leftism over pedestrian electoral dem socialism.

Exactly. Don't make this more complicated than it needs to be. The Constitution is popular with Americans.
And if you need polling, it's also true that these abductions are wildly unpopular on their own merit.
