stephen miller visited the delphic oracle and was really excited when he was told 2026 would be about the triumph of the Will.
now is the time of will stancil
Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

Will Stancil, a man disliked for his inability not to annoy large numbers of people, being lauded for his complete commitment to fighting fascism on the frontline, puts him in the same category of basically half the special forces operatives of the second world war

The death of American civil society has been greatly exaggerated
This is Minneapolis:

Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.

Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

The worst someone can be on social media is annoying, and so if a lot of your reality is interpolated by that, it becomes the same as ‘evil’
The USA somehow lost the ability to be mildly annoyed and it turns out there being a middle ground between "I like this person" and "This person must be publicly executed in front of their loved ones" was load bearing for human civilization.
this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

it's January 2026 and Abolish ICE - not defund - Abolish - is polling at -2 bsky.app/profile/mero...
I think some people will be tempted to read this as 'even murdering a woman can't break his hold' versus 'a net 25 point shift moved Abolish ICE from fringe demand to the verge of popularist mandate'
This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

This is the kind of shit I mean when I say this is unsustainable. Something has to break. If this is really what they’re pursuing, charges against protesters for one of them having been murdered, I feel like the current protests will be absolutely dwarfed.

Dismantling DHS is an entirely achievable goal for Democrats at this point.

You can have Fox yell at you for being a radical leftist or whatever, but you're going to have endless images of paramilitary goons assaulting people on TV, and voters will associate you with wanting to end that.

I need you all to stop and consider that maybe investors aren’t the rational and intelligent geniuses they like to portray themselves as but rather extremely irrational dullards, many of whom like and support the authoritarian project Trump is running.

Woke 1 involved being so allergic to power that you couldnt understand that a corporation rushing to kiss your ass during Pride was an unadulterated win

Woke 2 will involve breaking corporations that refuse to rush in and kiss the LGBTQ+ communty's ass during Pride
I *like* pride washing.

I *like* that stores had to put out rainbow merch and bend the knee to my civil and human rights, and our status as the reason they can stay in business.

Anyone who hates that is deeply suspect to me.

tbh I always felt icky about accusations of "cultural appropriation," but the more I think about it the more I dislike the whole framework. It comes from an intellectual tradition that sees the normalization of minority practices as undesirable, and I don't know if that's what society needs

people talk about the Great Firewall being a great for keeping western ideas out but it seems to have been even better at keeping westerners unaware of some real bleak labor market conditions and the total collapse of private investment and only seeing, like, unitree robots doing backflips

for the next mission, “defend the federal reserve,” you have to bring Powell with you as one of your squad members, you can bring other people too but Powell is required to trigger the key cutscenes.
