White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
Any group which resides at the pinnacle of privilege, yet feels aggrieved such that it requires exclusion of, and protection from, conflicting ideas, has relinquished all legitimate claims to strength and authority.
A healthy and broadly educated population, which experiences safety and security, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
I’ve often said fascists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes, but they’re a close second to white supremacists.
Any group which resides at the pinnacle of privilege, yet feels aggrieved such that it requires exclusion of, and protection from, conflicting ideas; it has relinquished all legitimate claims to strength and authority.
The US has been on the losing side of every armed conflict it’s been involved in for 80 years. The clowns currently in charge believe that streak is at least double that.
Absolutely FUCK that. Treating psychopathic bullies as serious entities is appeasement, and provides them vacuous credibility.

Distance should be applied until shit settles down, isolation if that fails, and ridicule until the populous matures enough to elect representation worthy of respect for once.
The US has been a nation no-one should treat as a serious entity since 2024-11-05, and will not be again until they can prove their ability to hold another legitimate election.

I consider economics to be the control mechanism which filled the void in society vacated by religion after the enlightenment.
Finance replaced mythology.
Banks and insurance replaced cathedrals and churches.
Economists replaced the clergy.
GDP replaced God.
Basically economics, as an intellectual discipline, is far closer to theology than physics. Given that, I don’t respect the positioning of economics as dictating the function of legitimate fields.
I’ve always considered Windows to be a toy OS, because the only use case that could legitimately justify its need is gaming. Removing that requirement leaves only the clownishly unserious and terminally incurious users, which is a large population in computing today, but I’m fine with leaving them to kick in their wading sewer.
