From my perspective right-wing terrorism works.
Right wing terrism is largely state-supported, if not sponsored. It works because TPTB think it is right, and it gives them an excuse to do what they wanted to do anyway.
If you want to read about it but not go to Unherd you can go read Wonketteâs summary. Which is also undoubtedly more cutting

The libertarian organization couldnât survive the populist shift in the Republican Party.
Itâs the Kochtopus, so I expect theyâll change the name or slide over to another tentacle.
âBrandon said he has plans to launch a new organization focused on politically independent members of the millennial and Gen Z generations, whom he thinks will be receptive to libertarian policies. âIf we started something new, you could build it from the ground up,â Brandon said. âYou could build a brand that matches what these folks want, and you could get away around all the baggage [associated with the FreedomWorks brand].â
Sorry, dude. But no labels already exists.
And it sounds like you lost your big donors. Though failing upwards is a failson tradition.

You were punished for NOT making statements that were anticommunist or sufficiently anticommunist.
I no longer hear a lot of people saying, âHillary warned us.â And I see why. Say what will you about Bernie, heâs never said anything remotely like this. He actually has a sense of history.
Comedian Jerry Seinfeld was met with a wave of boos Sunday when students at Duke University in North Carolina walked out just before his commencement speech, the latest in a wave of antiwar protests at college graduations across the country this weekend.
Not only was Seinfeld, 70, delivering the speech at the schoolâs football stadium, but he was also receiving an honorary degree from the school, where his son is enrolled and from which his daughter graduated. As he was being introduced, boos could be heard on the official commencement livestream.
You should have seen the other guy. (Actually, get well soon, Steve.)
Yep!
I fucking hate that these [that word yanks donât like] use âthe arms of the poet-singerâ as their logo.
No spurprise that rag would put it like that. I think a lot of people donât know, or forget, that the WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch. It really sucks that itâs widely considered more credible than Fux News or the Daily Fail.
Other than triggering the current inflation cycle by jacking prices to make up for earnings âlostâ during the covid shutdowns? Yeah, thatâs not evil at all. (Not really lost. They still have the oil that they didnât sell at the time.)
