yungneocon is my spirit animal

nobody expects the cumming insurrection

moreover, fascism must be destroyed

Louder for the people in the back 📢
Me, at age 13, spending another summer day in the back of the Powells Books stacks, perched on a stool, grimacing and furiously scribbling down notes about how much I fucking hate these fuckers: "I should read everything they've ever written and then write a book savaging them."

Book.

It's coming.

Book.

For years now I've kept a notepad window open on my laptop with a dozen tabs, each chock to the brim with notes and quotes from countless books and articles.

It is now closed.

About 1000 comments added by the team of editors have been pruned down to 11, kept mostly for sentiment.

The three browser windows are down to one with 10 tabs.

There is a final stack of only 17 books by my bed, penciled up with notes, that I'm supposed to do a final (3rd or 4th, depending on the book) pass thru.

Democrats will run a milquetoast centrist candidate who brags about being pro-cop, watch as ICE agents immediately go to lynch him on the orders of the God King, and go, "yes, yes... brown man didn't denounce the concept of 'global protest'; please let us have a turn beating his burnt corpse"

dont "build power" build *anti*power

cultivate habits, ties, and spaces that evade, resist, and sabotage the logistics of power

become ungovernable and illegible to power

leverage strategic placement or insight to exploit points of vulnerability

build underground market economies and guerrilla trade networks

participate in cultures of hopeful resistance and defiant joy

If the paleocons get pushed out of the MAGA tent, I'm really not looking forward to them hat-in-hand pleading for leftists and anarchists to take them back into some 2003-esque broad anti-war coalition after they have spent a decade so aggressively platforming neonazis and demonizing antifa.
