There is no pathway out of this that does not run through whites collectively choosing to reject white supremacy. It will be uncomfortable, perhaps painful for some. The most effective medicine often is.

I'll say this though. "Traction" is the "it's not you, it's me" of startup development. Angels and VCs expect 99% of their portfolio to fail and hope a unicorn is somewhere in the 1%.
Traction is a trap designed to weed out founders who aren't either independently wealthy or deeply in debt.

Good thing I'm going to meet a friend for games and wine because otherwise I can feel a rant about how venture capital killed user-centric product design building in me.

look, you have to admit it's kind of weird that Ken Starr ended up back in the news the same week as a presidential blowjob rumor involving Bill Clinton

Whoever decided that carpet is the ideal flooring for common areas should have to eat all their meals off of corporate lobby and apartment hallway carpets.
Shit, why stop there, let's carpet the toilets and doorknobs too since we all just want to feel like we're covered in cat piss 24/7.

Few things trigger my perceived demand avoidance like someone trying to wave me through an intersection out of order. No. You'll take your right of way or we'll both die of old age.

The more you fight to uphold white supremacy, the more of yourself you'll lose when it crumbles.
Because it will crumble. Whites have shaken the foundations of the earth trying to buttress it up. But it's out of time and out of resources. There's very little left to extract.
Don't lose yourself.

We cannot and should not save white people from themselves.
They have to decide if they want to live or die for the sake of whiteness.
They have to decide if they want to fight for their survival by extracting hate from their core identity.

Anyway, stay tuned for my forthcoming essay, All roads lead to Rome: How veneration of a white supremacist colonial empire fosters white supremacy, colonialism, and imperialism.
Kidding. Probably.
Kidding. Probably.
Like, I think the root of a lot of ugly, warped thinking is a worldview in which our own ancestors were savage barbarians who toppled the enlightened Romans, and wherein the cultural genocide of Western and Northern Europe was actually good and noble.
The Roman Empire fundamentally broke Western Europe and planted the seeds of white supremacist fascism, and I'm as suspicious of Roman enthusiasts as I am of WWII history enthusiasts.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

The tendency to sanitize this violence by labeling it “pedophilia” is a way to imply that the sexual abuse of children is a biological necessity and an inevitable part of human nature.
But it isn’t. Child sexual abuse is entirely preventable. We could live in a world without it.

This is your regular reminder that most men who sexually abuse children do not meet the clinical definition of a pedophile.
They simply want to abuse their power and no one is more vulnerable to abuse than a child.

I do not want my well-being to depend on these emails being real and damaging. Whether they are or aren't, we already know the truth about Trump and the pathway forward is the same regardless.
Putting some psychological distance between myself and the email drop. It feels too convenient that we have email after email saying "Hi, I'm notorious sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein. Trump is even worse than me and Clinton did nothing wrong."
Not saying it's fake, just very convenient.
