He needs to be more specific than Christianity.
What Flynn is dishing out doesnât come from that end of the bullâŚ
âItâs never been right.â
That right there is the key. Canât have the right wing assholes treated like those common criminals.
Good Goddess, what the hell is that judge doing?!
Iâm finding it easier than ever to think that heâs mocking the whole proceeding, trying to turn it into enough of a farce that it becomes a âmistrial.â
His performance is like something out of a bad courtroom-drama flick about a prosecutorâs effort to convictmembers of a white-supremacist lynch mob in 1890s Mississippi.
Weâve always been at war with Eastasia.
Wow. A âparallel economy.â Yeah, that will not happen, and it has nothing to do with âwokenessâ or cancel culture.
But that will be where they place the blame, every time.
It makes sense from the point of view of radicalisation paths, which tend to target the unsophisticated and the callow as their marks. These companies are the gateway between exurban white lady woo/goop and outright white nationalism.
The fascists are experimenting with these pathways. For example, the Proud Boys have been using violent anti-vaxx protests as covers to attract idiots (and media attention) to their brand of hate for months, as in the NYC situation described by @smulder above.
One year ago yesterday:
âDonald Trump supporters unwilling to accept Democrat Joe Bidenâs election victory gathered in cities across the country including Washington, D.C., where thousands rallied; after night fell in the nationâs capital, demonstrators favoring Trump clashed in the streets with counterprotesters, resulting in injuries to demonstrators and police officers and charges against nearly two dozen people.â
I wish there was a large protest outside the building where Bannon is surrendering himself today.
Chanting Lock Him Up!!!
Just a gaggle of reporters this morning. No chanting. No protests. Nadda. Almost like a non-event.
Where is his army of supporters? 20k âShock Troopsâ?
Gee, maybe heâs just trash in the wind.
Jesus- talk about the walking dead. How is this guy still alive?
Any reporter worth their salt will always describe him as âshambling inâ to whichever authorities are trying to hold him to account for his part in the attempted putsch.
Thanks! Now I know just what to get that one cousin for Christmas.

Not just there. You may have heard of the anti-lockdown/anti-vax-mandate/anti-whatever protests in Australia recently (especially in Melbourne).
We donât have so many Proud Boys down here as an organised group, but the straight out Neo-Nazis were very openly at the heart of that whole schemozzle, and were documented showing the sorts of signs which are designed to entice people into seeking them out and dipping their toes in fascism.
Yay! Alcohol withdrawal!
