As someone whose been watching this man closely for nearly a decade, “a lot of people are saying” is classic trumpspeak for “this is what I think, but I need to make up imaginary people to support this before I can tenably do so”.

This is certainly a test run for military/ICE deployment in major cities, but what evidence is there that it prefigured paramilitary deployment? This is not to say that the latter is not possible, as it very much is, but it is not clear how this is a direct implication.

Honestly, it baffles me that these high profile democratic leaders even need the assistance of pundits to read the moment. Perhaps I was naive to believe she (or any similar figure for that matter) had any sense of where all of this is going… or maybe she does and that’s why she’s posturing as such.

Read the room buddy… these are INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS who are understandably not going to risk their safety for this country. If they choose to do so, that’s certainly commendable, but there is no need to shame those who are most vulnerable right now.

I fear that we’re in for another round of commenters saying that you’re overreacting/fear mongering, and then we’ll return to this post in two-ish months when this exact scenario plays out…

I feel like much of the punditry class is almost like an LLM—just completely insulated from empirical/normative reality. “Ideas” like this are coherent within the context of the think piece sphere, but that means jack when the sphere is a sophistic pseudo-discourse that endlessly regurgitates slop.

That’s why things are moving so fast. They know their window of having any semblance of legitimacy is actively closing. They are going all in because it’s either complete institutional usurpation or insurmountable public resistance.

Or the first to AGI competition ends up being a zero-sum game when the institutional hegemony of the modern nation-state collapses upon the attainment of general intelligence. Not necessarily a likely outcome, but far from dismissible.

I think you’ve entirely missed his point. Chris very well understands the calculated forces at play—his reference to mental illness is merely to put things in perspective, that such a claim would be dismissed as clinical insanity by anyone just six weeks ago.

So the idea is force Canada’s hand with retaliatory tariffs, shock Americans with a major recession, flood the right-wing media apparatus with disinformation in in order to convince the base that Canada is responsible, then ultimately use the ensuing anger as justification for annexation?
