What a concept, sadopopulism. Explains some twisted things, kind of.
Screenshot of article, bold in center: “They’re offering them delight in the torture of others.” Rest of text: “The memes about brutal detention and deportation, specifically, invite audiences to delight in what Stanley calls “torture,” to see themselves in what the government is doing, to say, as he puts it, “This is something we’re doing together, we’re having a blast, we’re laughing and those wimpy liberals are saying it’s scandalous. We’re going to show our power over them by having as much fun as possible.” “Stanley says that it’s part of the overall structure of what his colleague Timothy Snyder calls “sadopopulism“: putting policies into place that inflict real pain”

Yesterday, I saw the first beautiful autumn fog of this year. I always cross a bridge on my way to work, and yesterday, there were so many spider webs wet with dew that I had to take a few photos. 📷
