The abscess grows from the earth. The dagger meets my virginal flesh and I nurture the egg with my own blood. The atmosphere swirls a sickening red, green, black. A haze of plague. The long-slumbering god emerges from the pustule-egg. I kneel in praise.

"the revolt of the bosses" is a good way of framing the elite reaction to woke 1. what's particularly interesting is that this isn't a reaction to an attack on profits--it's a reaction to changes in workplace culture--
which is to say, the psychic wage of hierarchy
which is to say, the psychic wage of hierarchy
I suspect that the revolt of the bosses element of all this really is explained by: a bunch of upper echelon Americans really didn't like the cultural and workplace changes induced by Woke era, some portion of them were pushed into internet insanity, but most just wanted a shift slightly right....

I'm not saying I have confidence Mamdani is gonna be a gamechanger. Maybe, maybe not, but symbols are important, and he is that much. Bernie and AOC once were too, and we know how that turned out. It's enough to scare the shit out of rich people for now, and that's fear that radicals can seize on.

The more rich people and politicians get scared, the more you know we're on track. They've been on a free ride for decades, and that ride depends on corporate welfare, poor wages, inadequate PTO, price gouging, lobbyists, and market manipulation. It's literally why 40 million people are on SNAP.

Fear is the key. No one is afraid of No Kings or Chuck Schumer. They're afraid of anarchists, socialists, and Zohran Mamdani because these things inherently threaten hegemony, and directly threaten it by taking action. A threat doesn't necessarily mean violence, but it does require confrontation.

The intimidation included threats that family members would lose visas, which is both in character and *friggin insane*
European negotiators were personally targeted by their American counterparts during a brutal negotiation over green shipping rules, European Commission officials told POLITICO.
This highly unusual gambit left diplomats shaken after the meeting.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.
But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.
Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

I feel like a lot more people need to go read about Major General Smedley Butler and the fact that this is not the first time Corporate Oligarchic families tried to install fascism in america. In fact i feel we are seeing the culmination of a steady concerted effort since the 1930's.
