The Shovel Next Time

Liberation from tyranny is also liberation for the tyrants.

Sizzling essay (so good):#ARMoxon cracks the code on the conservative/supremist mindset.

Basically, their world is divided into Live-ers and Die-ers, Winners/Losers, Heroes/Victims and an INCLUSIVE society denies any such division. The fear is that if the "others" are allowed to be Winners and Live-ers, "we" are under threat to be Losers and Die-ers. Since admitting our shared vulnerability & humanity is absolutely unacceptable, "we" MUST crack down and restore the natural order where "we" aren't ever going to lose or die.

This essay explains so much more like how perceived/manufactured scarcity REQUIRES we define people as deserving or not, as valuable or not.

** Really worth the read **

One Nation Under Fear - Part 3

Republicanism or American Nazism or white supremacy... is normal because it has to be normal, because if it wasn't normal than we'd have to say it wasn't, and then we'd have a lot of things to unpack and fix and solve, and that might get us into time and money. If millions and millions of the American people are racist, then America might be a supremacist nation, and if we started saying that America was a supremacist nation, then we would have to deal with that fact.

"I guess I'm going to write about the election this week and probably next week too, because frankly I'm terrified for my country and all the lovely people who live in it, and writing is the tool I have, and I believe that witness to the truth is the antidote to ignorance, especially the deliberate and manufactured ignorance favored by our dominant spiritual tradition of American supremacy."

"Trump, who has been directly mirroring German Nazis in his rhetoric and tactics, may very well win a national election by running on nothing but a promise of retributive bigoted mass killing, and I must conclude that this can only mean that, here in our morally underdeveloped nation, the idea of mass killing is very popular, mostly because it makes so many of us feel safe."

"The idea that we can create paradise by increasing the killing is a very popular notion here in the rather backward and underdeveloped country of the United States. I mean 'backward and underdeveloped' in a moral sense. In an economic sense, the country holds vast wealth…."

Killing Our Way To Paradise

"One really violent day" in our morally underdeveloped nation. Supremacist superfans, Star Wars, and the popular insistence within a violent empire of owning heroism as exclusive property.

"Despite being a shrinking minority, Republicans and their base of white supremacist mostly Christians believe that to rule is their right, and that anyone else who gains power represents a de facto oppressive tyranny, and a de facto violent threat that justifies whatever violence they deem fit.”

I've had similar experiences in the past months when I posted material from the folowing authors — again, just excerpts, no commentary of my own:

1. Ruth Ben-Ghiat

2. Christa Brown

In Ben-Ghiat's case, I know that many others had the same thing happen on Facebook, since she blogged about this, asking people to report if links to her articles on Facebook were taken down.

Social media can be every bit as morally bankrupt as corporate media.

Today I posted on Facebook some of the same excerpts from Moxon's book I've posted here — just excerpts, no commentary of my own.

Immediately Facebook sent me a message that the material violated "community standards" and would probably be taken down if I didn't delete the posting.

I did so, because in my experience, those messages are followed by Facebook deleting what you've posted.

In the past two days, I've posted some excerpts from A.R. Moxon's new book Very Fine People (a link to that thread is below).

Though I know that Facebook is in many ways a slime pit, I retain a presence there, primarily to connect with a circle of family members I can't easily connect with otherwise — and because I oversee a DNA genealogical research group.

I'm reading A.R. Moxon's new book Very Fine People: Confessions of an American Fool (Grand Rapids: J. Goat Press, 2024). His comments on why he wrote the book: “I wrote all the words you’ll find between these covers sometime between December 2016 and early 2023. Most were written after August 2017, which was a key date in my rapidly dawning awareness of the true nature of my country." #ARMoxon #Trump #evangelicals #WhiteChristianNationalism #authoritarianism #Nazis /1 https://www.armoxon.com/books/very-fine-people
