The fury and venom here are deeply disturbing.

If you want to know what “divisive ideology” sounds like, Miller’s eulogy was one of the darkest things I have witnessed from a government official.

All the hallmarks of eliminationism and a level of froth and vitriol which marks a new low for this administration.

Honestly, the most Hitlerian speech I’ve heard in public politics.

“We are the storm. And our enemies cannot comprehend our strength, our determination, our resolve, our passion,” he thundered. “Our lineage and our legacy hails back to Athens, to Rome, to Philadelphia, to Monticello. Our ancestors built the cities. They produced the art and architecture. They built the industry.”

I won't/can't recommend that anyone watch, but in case you'd like to see what I'm describing, here is the video of Miller's full tirade.

6 mins 37 secs.

Miller says that MAGA's "enemies" can't understand the meaning or strength of the movement he now helps to spearhead.

But we understand all too well.

This kind of blood and soil rhetoric is far from new. It's woven into the historical record, as are its terrible consequences.

When leaders use this kind of language--the language of civilizational struggle, battles between light and dark, the cult of the warrior, fire and brimstone--the trajectory is always toward violent and eliminationism.

in reply to Alexander Karn

Miller starts with the story of a warrior in a storm. The storm whispers to the warrior, you can't endure my strength. The warrior replies: I am the storm.

In the Language of the Third Reich, Victor Klemperer observed how the Nazis engrained two words in the German consciousness: Aktion (action) and Sturm (storm).

Sturm becoming the animating concept of the "manly beer house." It promised the return of a strict militarized hierarchy. Hitler built his militia around this word, Stormtroopers.

Trump, Vance, Miller say that comparisons between MAGA and Nazism are a driver of violence.

That's nonsense.

Reporting on the storm does not cause the storm to manifest.

Observing the violence of its gales, does not cause the cyclone to spin.

Hitler gave speeches that were less Hitlerian than Peewee German’s speech last Sunday.

Also, think about what he said.

Ancient Greece: slavery

Ancient Rome: slavery

Pre-1865 United States: slavery.

The ancestors he’s talking about didn’t build the cities and industry. They cracked their whips on the backs of those who did.

in reply to Alexander Karn

I think it's important to point out who the "we" is here. The comparisons to the Nazis make it pretty obvious, but they always stop short of saying it. The "we" here, who "built civilization," only makes sense if you substitute it for "white men." Virile men like Miller who look like they're in their 50s when they're 30-something. A shocking number of these men have never given up the narrative of their divine and natural right to rule over all others.
in reply to Alexander Karn

his ancestors, the elite white men he’s referencing, the ‘leaders’ he says “built civilization” is bs. Just like it is bs today. It is the workers who they paid or enslaved who had the artistry & skills & were civilized, knowledgeable.
These men are/were talentless & have none of the creativity from genuine human emotion & connection with humanity (aka civilization) nor a desire to build beauty or be civilized themselves.
This is why fascist art sucks and why all empires fail.







I watched a YouTube video about Earned Wage Apps, which is basically pay day loans "with extra steps”. Feels like something Apple shouldn't allow in their App Store, but whatever.

The thing that really blew my mind is that they have tons of dark pattern to try to get a “tip” from your Pay Day loan. Say what you will about them, but I've never heard of loan sharks asking for tips from their "clients”.

Gotta hand it to Trump. Turning the country into just another impoverished third world dictatorship is quite a unique way of making America great again.

I rarely DNF a book, but I’m not sure I’m going to make it through this one. “The Lost Continent” by #BillBryson is the sort of elitist shit from the 90s that helps me understand why the rest of the world hates folks from the US. He’s insufferable. I’m gonna try to read a bit more but the outlook is grim.
