Who is Carl Schmitt, the authoritarian political theorist that the New Right and the Neocons are obsessed with?

before being the obsession of
peter thiel and every favourite
podcaster of your incel cousin,
schmitt was the jurist who
came up with the theoretical
legal foundation for the
nazi party's power grab and
subsequent atrocities.
he wrote: "sovereign is he who
decides on the exception." he
believed that constitutional
democracies were facades for
the total power of the execu-
tive, since the legislative was
powerless during exceptional
times.
schmitt also wrote about
the friend-enemy distinction,
which he saw as the basis of
the politic. people are sorted
into groups, either with you or
against you, in a struggle for
survival. big incel vibes, I know.
in his view, liberalism
challenged that "natural order"
by restricting the power of
the executive and by easing
the distinctions with enemy
groups, which he thought led
to social paralysis and
racial decay.

THERE IS NO ORGANIZATION CALLED "ANTIFA."
ANTIFA stands for anti-fascism.
World War Il veterans are
ANTIFA because they fought fascism.
Anyone against fascism is
ANTIFA.
There is no membership card.
Anyone can be ANTIFA.
Everyone should be ANTIFA.

Worrying signs the govt could cave to Big Pharma 💰

Paying more for medicines won’t “boost innovation”, it’ll just boost pharma profits while the NHS struggles to afford care.

UK move to inflate pharma profits threatens NHS — Just Treatment

Statement in response to reports the government plans to raise NHS drug price limits — a move that risks importing America’s drug pricing crisis and putting profits before patients.

I see Reform UK are on #BBCQT again tonight, would one of the other panelists kindly ask

Is it fiscally responsible for Nathan Gill to make anti EU, pro Russia statements in exchange for bribes

But for Nigel Farage to make anti EU, pro Russia statements, without bribes?

I have a personal headcannon about how the dragons have unintentionally affected the culture of Tuvana. Like the principle that you cannot observe something without changing it, people are affected by the dragons.

Brianna Tipping @auxryn.bsky.social · 9d

I know I've talked about this before, but I just love this. Dragons show up when certain people are born! We don't know where they come from, or what they want, or where they go back to. All perfectly normal! It's always been this way, don't see how it could ever be different. Like our world.

What is "plenary authority" and why is it a big deal that Miller said that Trump has it over the national guard?

4 frame comic where Miller slowly blinks. Text reads. A few hours ago, speaking on cnn about Trump's plan to send the national guard into us cities, Miller said : under title 10 of the us code, the president has plenary authority, has... He then fully stopped talking and just blinked at the camera, as if he realized that he said the quiet part out loud. "Plenary authority" means "complete power over a particular area with no limitayions". It is equivalent to ruling by decree, which us how Mussolini, Stalin or Hitler governed. Having "plenary authority" over the military would mean that Trump can just use the national guard as he pleases, no matter what the courts say. It's a power grab.
