This week on The Reframe, @JuliusGoat points out that "we live in a time when a Nazi billionaire can take a chainsaw to democracy and the public good, murdering hundreds of thousands of people in the meantime, and the result is that he becomes a Nazi trillionaire."

While that sucks, there is a way to radically change our situation. But it begins with the stories we tell ourselves.

As a dynamic and clearly competent head of this declining global superpower, I can't stop thinking about how to make the water blue in this reflecting pool down the street from me.

I wrote about the way our stories inform our reality, the enduring popularity of evolving supremacist narratives even as its practitioners fall into disrepute, and the need to understand story if we are to defeat story.

The thing about signing what everybody but you can see is a surrender document at Versailles without understanding the historical context that everyone else immediately grasps is that’s what you sometimes get when you are an ignorant dipshit who surrounds himself with ignorant dipshits.
One of the most extraordinary trends in modern politics is when somebody says something like “Nazism and sexual violence are absolutely unacceptable in a civilized society” and immediately somebody like JD Vance responds “I deeply resent this direct attack on American conservatives.”
I'll keep adding to the thread in the coming days. Wait with bated breath in the meantime.

"Some prophesies are a curse. This one will be.

"This is my curse to the owners of the world.

"You will never know your children, even if they remain in your life; you will only ever know the thing that they’ve learned they can safely be around you."
