I wrote about something I've been thinking about for a long time. A kind of post-ironic collapse in our politics and culture where nihilism has become the lingua franca of the internet and beyond. It links Kirk, Clavicular, Epstein, memestock/coin stuff, mass shooters. I hope you'll read it.

One of the terrible things about the ICE occupation of Minneapolis is that they’ve been doing stuff that is so crazy that people assume it’s some kind of exaggeration, despite being widely documented on video. Following observers home! Lurking outside elementary schools! Black-bagging citizens!

In the topmost light beam is a single pale blue pixel. That's Earth. Sagan's quote is printed on the image.

One issue here is crank convergence, and the escalation ladder of a competitive media environment. The other is that there's no social cost to beliefs anymore, being a 9/11 truther or an anti-vaxer or a Nazi doesn't actually *mean* as much as it used to, because identity has become so cheap.

Because Massie has taken some reasonable positions on a couple issues lately, that's led people to forget that he's at heart a paranoid John Bircher who's been scanning the horizon for non-existent black helicopters for decades now.

Ending the racist war on drugs would immediately dismantle so much of the police state.
First they lied about fentanyl in Venezuela so they could murder fishermen, invade the country, arrest the head of state, steal the oil, and topple Cuba. Then they lied about a Mexican drug drone to cover up their own incompetence. They always lie about drugs to seize more power and start more wars.
