Yep. Have long been of the view the climate change is what broke it all. When they started saying you could not believe climate scientists it opened the door to everything
Truly, it began when the Republican Party decided to embrace climate denial in the early aughts.That was the foundational break with reality. And it metastasized into full-on post-truth partly because they suffered no consequences for lying in their media coverage or other public branding.
What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

The warning about "decivilization" didn't come after any one of a number of school shootings. It didn't come after January 6. It was after a health insurance company CEO's shooting wasn't received with national mourning:

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation.
I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.

This piece on Den of Thieves is probably my favorite thing I’ve ever written. Used to live on a real site, they went away so now it’s on my Substack which you should totally sub to if you want to read more cool stuff like it or watch some fun interviews

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.
If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Joseph Quinn invited to be a Commodus clone but would have been excellent in a better movie with more space and time. Really pops off the screen.
