Here’s JD Vance-influencer Curtis Yarvin advocating a return to slavery. So that’s how things are going on this July 4th.
This is stock conservatism, and we’re unwilling to admit it because that would mean we’ve let monsters in our bed for our entire lives.
Exactly. Too many people seem unable to face the fact that every single conservative is essentially a threat to any sort of sensible society that the rest of us would want to live in, and an existential threat to us all thanks to climate change denialism.
It’s a sickness that’s been allowed to thrive in relative isolation, with a surfeit of hosts.
It's the delusion that "the truth is somewhere in the middle" and that all opinions are equally valid. 'We need to hear out the psychotic death cult that wants to bring back slavery and doesn't believe in human rights or even modern medicine, they have a right to their "political" opinions'
My belief is that as a society the United States has never been able to reckon with the necessary and proper roles of violence.
@nkalamb.bsky.social @curtis_yarvin Just think of how many common "American" words they'd have to give up: corral, jalapeño, taco, margarita, Saguaro. enchilada, salsa, Mesa . . . The list goes on, but you get the idea.
