Unfortunately the problem isn’t the legal academy, it’s capitalism.
In a good world, these people should have been disbarred ages ago. But bar complaints at a real and robust level require volunteers, and require people to report their peers.
When their luxury depends on relationships, they don’t.

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

Many have internalized that unpopularity is necessary and okay for Doing The Right Thing. There’s a monastic purity there. But it often leads to leftists doing fucked up social shit because they are unaccountable.
When someone Does The Right Thing and is applauded, it’s hard for them.

That’s absolutely not true.
The leftist position is that mutual aid and direct action will eventually lead people left, even if they don’t know it. You can’t unring a bell; once someone has joined a strike, or an action, it is always in their DNA.
The issue with Stancil is nerd social fallacy shit

I am told that turning your phone off and on multiple times and then leaving it off, without entering your password in between, increases your security and makes your phone more difficult to break into. This is what I do for travel.

I did a little experiment of one here. And uploaded my 2023 radiology reports. ChatGPT recommended waiting 3 months for another scan, with a 10-40% estimate of cancer. Not wrong, evidence-based.
My doc, who’s been practicing for 30 years, saw scans & ordered an immediate biopsy.

2026 is seeing that the U.S. Army is mobilizing a unit specialized for winter conditions, but not knowing if the intended mission is violent repression of an American city or stealing territory from a U.S. treaty ally.

It’s not only the right which is armed. And I will say from my own personal experience, “the more you arm yourself, the less they fuck with you” is accurate.

I didn’t even watch the Army Navy game when I *was* in the Army.
Instead of protecting the tradition of the Army/Navy game, how about if we protect the tradition of our democratic republic and the continuing vitality of the US Constitution?

I think there’s value in using religion to shame and divide the fascists. Ie; normie religious people are going to be aghast at priests and nuns getting beaten and tear gassed: thus putting bodies in uniform there wins hearts and minds.
But also; should make sure churches are expelling fascists.

I’m a Catholic, my quasi-spouse is an atheist. We have spirited debates. He knows he’s welcome if he wants to come (and is occasionally tempted to see if he can horrify a priest through confessing *everything* he’s done) but also I don’t give a fuck if he never comes, which thus far, is the case.

That’s fair - but when I say little-c church, I mean individual groups that have their own interpretations of stuff.
I think there’s a big difference between “we must scheme to make sure people come” vs “don’t forget to invite other people to the party just in case they want to come.”

You and I may disagree on this, but I think it’s possible to have religion without imperialism. Liberation theology is pretty rad IMO, and there were some interesting early communist religious communes that shared equally with all.

It really depends on the church.
I keep thinking of how the polls in 2016 said those who identified as “most religious” had the lowest actual church attendance.

1/ 30 years ago, Russian law enforcement agents started wearing masks to carry out their duties. It soon became a standard tactic to intimidate and extort those seen as opponents of the regime, and became known in Russian as a 'mask show'. ⬇️

I also - I feel like this is a skill I never realized was a skill, but most people in the Army are *so used* to being yelled at and hate doing unnecessary work.
And that stuff isn’t cool it’s just work.
Now that *is* one of the worst units, but it still applies.

It’s a weird thing to be honest even if you’re not having resentment feels. At our house it all feels kind of surreal- we’ve had FBI files for over a decade, so we’re like: “wait, are we…normies now? Do people not start to glaze over when we talk about the government?”

As an Iraq vet, I’m pretty aware of the human cost of that war.
And yet; some people thought it was (strategically) worth the cost to drive us out. And they were ultimately, at great cost, (tactically) successful.

You can (à la GWOT) cause an occupation to lose with a far smaller force than it takes to win a general strike, such that there may come a time when that is the best option.
I’m not a vanguardist, but they are correct that collective action is always more difficult to source than vanguard action.
