re: #383 Scottish Dragon
Welp, my 3rd period was acting up enough that another teacher came to check on me and she called administration. That….was unwelcome. TBH I wouldn’t have rated them in my top 25 bad classes but I had a very intense principal in my room wanting to know what in the wide, wide world of sports is a goin, here.
Reminds me of the one time the principal came running into our high school classroom. He had seen a flurry of books, some torn in half, landing in the snow outside his office window and was certain there was shenanigans going on.
The teacher, a Catholic nun somewhere between age 60 and age 95, totally lost it when dealing with the indifference of high school sophomores on the subject of Greek mythology. It started out quiet. She asked us to all pass our paperback mythology books to the front of the class where she gathered them all and then it turned into a wild manic rage as she started tossing the books out the window one-by-one occasionally ripping one in half. The principal’s demeanor abruptly changed when he saw a bunch of stunned silent students and one wimple-wearing screaming sister.
Now that I’m older, I can relate to the sister’s emotions.

When the kids were actual kids, we were what Katie longs for. I was a stay at home mom, Mr. C. was the breadwinner, we had dinner together at the kitchen table almost every night. We did not discuss the State of the Economy or Our Fear of Immigrants. It was more “Surely something happened at school today. What was it?”
This indicates to me that she and her family don’t actually have dinner together very often.

OK, I will freely admit to partisan bias in favor of Joe Biden and Democrats in general- but having said that, I think last night’s SOTU was a master-class in political ownage: both on the contents of the address, but -and just as significantly, given this country’s sad dependency on the Media to figure out what to think - the optics.
- He delivered a forceful and articulate speech forcefully and, despite the occasional Bidenisms, articulately (so much for “Sleepy Joe”)
- Congressional Democrats (literally) rose to the occasional- noticeably applauding, while the Republicans, in their silly red-tie costumes, sat around grumping deadpan. And MTG managed to make herself even more of the Designated Assclown than usual
- Even though Opposition Rebuttals aren’t usually worth much, Kitchen Table Katie’s weird hostage-video screed was notably ludicrous and mock-worthy.
And all of it out in the open on live TV,

I’m not sure the message was that women belong in the kitchen. It’s more that they’re meeting women where they are and that would be in their kitchen, which is just like hers. Which is even less realistic.

A Rockwall real estate agent was arrested last week on charges of sexually assaulting a child, court records show.Natalie Sorrells was arrested Feb. 26 by the Heath Department of Public Safety on two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child and two counts of indecency with a child by sexual contact.
…
Sorrells, 44, appears to have most recently been a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker based on an archived webpage from February and an Instagram profile bearing the same name. She did not appear on the company’s list of agents in the area on Thursday.
Sorrells was also a volunteer with Lakepointe Church in Rockwall,

re: #61 Charles

He swallowed words a few times, and stepped over some of his key lines here and there. But so fucking what?
He demolished the claims that he was somehow sleepy or not able to deal with reality or the GOP, when he handed the GOP their asses in repeated ad libs. He did this last year too. But the GOP are too stupid to realize that trying to get under Biden’s skin by trying to interrupt him isn’t going to end well - for them.
re: #61 Charles

I’m not sure it was a gaffe. The median American voter isn’t going to get the vapors from referring to undocumented immigrants as “illegals”, even though we recognize it as a dehumanizing slur.

Umberto Eco included this as on of his 14 general properties of fascism:
Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as “at the same time too strong and too weak”. On the one hand, fascists play up the power of certain disfavored elites to encourage in their followers a sense of grievance and humiliation. On the other hand, fascist leaders point to the decadence of those elites as proof of their ultimate feebleness in the face of an overwhelming popular will.
Like populism, fascism isn’t particularly interested in its adherents and followers engaging in any sort of critical thought. It’s more interested in stirring the bad emotions of the mob towards bad ends

What’s true is what’s convenient to justify what they want so there’s never a contradiction. It’s not even dialectical tense; you just hit the switch and the enemy goes from pathetically weak to overwhelmningly strong.
This pre-existed Trump but he’s now their preferred medium, he perfectly performs their worldview down to the fine detail.

re: #75 KGxvi
Umberto Eco included this as on of his 14 general properties of fascism:
Like populism, fascism isn’t particularly interested in its adherents and followers engaging in any sort of critical thought. It’s more interested in stirring the bad emotions of the mob towards bad ends
Yes as opposed to all those ideologies that are documentedly cool with critical thinking and don’t immediately start calling people asking pointed questions stupid or crazy or too emotional.
Like “the mob is always stupid” is a truism, but I think it’s an especially dumb one because it implicitly suggests some kind of alternative “I’m not in a mob and therefore I must be thinking” which…nope, everybody’s stupid and emotional individually and collectively until they show their work.
It’s just as much mistaking the signifier for the signified as that lead stupid idea of “I’m being criticized for my idea I must be Galileo.”
Civil rights protesters were labelled a mob. Anti war protesters were and are labelled a mob. Mistaking respectability for validity is not just a bad idea, it’s a bad idea deliberately instilled by people who can’t otherwise argue their positions, be that French aristocrats or the Bush Administration.
And in talking about fascism, it’s just missing the point because fascism is both elitist and populist simultaneously because…ideas are not in the slightest bit solid and fascism is notably slippery in that it’s various manifestations play to pre-existing tropes in ways that produce as somewhat consistent outcome, but not so consistent that it’s not the most-debated, least-well-defined ideology.
“Fascism is about bad emotions and populism” is just…on it’s face not accurate. Fascism starts among elites, elicits multiple sectors of elites to participate, but also creates a mass-market message of shared elitism that grants franchise: exclusion is the selling point. The primary appeal isn’t even emotional…the primary appeal is the promise of radical redistribution, a payoff in which the insiders understand the plunder is coming from undeserving outsides.
To the extent that fascism builds on emotion, it does not instill those emotions but plays upon existing pain points that divide society, elevating the fascist in-group by enshrining their prejudices and grudges as law. Fascism does not automatically play to a mob, nor create a mob, it builds by parasitically appropriating existing structures: fascists take power by controlling the military, by courting existing conservative institutions and politicians, by appropriated religious authority. Each fascism looks different and sounds different because they speak entirely in reference to existing cultural mode of thoughts.
This is precisely which Ur-Fascism is formatted the way it is: fascism is a chimera only identifiable across cases past the point at which they assume power (and start doing what fascists always do…steal), so Eco is trying a vibes-based approach to warning signs that fascism is going to pop.
It’s worth considering that other people’s definition of fascism also addresses this trend more directly, specifically describing fascism as nationalist comradery that crosses boundaries of class and status…it is a populism that radically redefines “elite” and “the people” in ways that do not correspond to actual power.
to predicting future fascism rather than a formal definition.

I was at the Manayunk Arts festival years ago and parked at the Septa Regional Rail station there. On returning to my car, my friend and I discovered that I had left my lights on and ran down the battery.
Waaaaaay back in the corner of the lot, sitting all by itself, was a Philly police cruiser with an single occupant. No other car near him for at least 15 to 20 yards.
My friend and debated for a good 15 minutes as to whether we should approach the car or not, genuinely worried we were going to see something we shouldn’t and then have a much bigger problem than a dead battery on our hands.
Turns out the guy was power napping. He did go back to the precinct and grab some cables and jumped our car, but was clearly not thrilled with actually having to help the public.
I mentioned I was an artist and did offer to draw him a cartoon if needed one for whatever as way of thanks. That at least got the slightest of smiles.
The flip side: two of my friends were driving in Center City and two cops pulled up. Saw the NJ plates, rolled down the window and started shouting about how they wanted to fuck up some fucking pussies from Jersey. Nothing came of it, but, hey; welcome to Philly.

My experience with Philly cops has been limited but not awful. I just try to give them a wide berth.
In the late 80’s, I was hanging out front of the Chestnut Cabaret waiting on two friends for a Dead Milkmen show. Beat cop walked up and started chit-chatting. Pleasant conversation and what not, but in retrospect, I’m sure he was trying to see if he could pop me for something: weed, loitering, wearing glasses, etc. Even being aware of the force’s rep, 21 year old me was too stupid to put that together at the time.
Side note: apparently the Chestnut Cabaret got torn down a while back. That whole stretch of buildings from Market to Chestnut on 38th. I think Drexel’s building something there.

re: #170 Belafon
“Great job Britt. Now STFU and make me a sandwich.”
If I seem emphatic about this, it’s because the current American fascism is itself playing to existing American notions of individualism and meritocracy as much as it is the fully-formed protofascism of Southern whiteness.
It’s central figure has power because he aesthetically embodies the ideal 80s-guy entrepreneur and has lived the kind of life that lots of men are told is The Best Life*
*and somewhere in here we need to talk about how fascism always folds in patriarchy, because the easiest sell to half the population is “you get women the way you want them with no accountability, whether that means tradwifery or an endless string of creepy coercive affairs.”
and lots of women are told is both “The Best Life” and naturally what they should be wiling to settle for.
It’s less-central figures are mostly rich people who point to their wealth as a sign of validity of their ideas, and it’s intellectuals are court philosophers who have legitimacy and clout because they’re given enormous sinecures.
We can literally watch our current fascism arrive, month by month, watching the ideology be accepted by opportunists but also “converting” conservative public figures who have already been primed to the notion they have been robbed because their individual merit has not been rewarded.
The formation of a mass movement is the last step of this process, and it’s exactly what I described above: the fascists succeeded by exploiting existing prejudices (if US fascism’s ur-fascism had a face it would be Ronald Reagan) identifying actual concerns people have but doubling down on the (existing, conservative) message that actually, all the problems come from a failure to acknowledge people’s actual merit.
If the general theme of fascist rhetoric is countering theft, American fascism version emphasizes it is countering cheating of meritocracy that would otherwise make the fascists wealthy and important.
That isn’t…stupid…it’s a natural continuation of how all Americans think because our culture is hyperindividualist, hypercapitalist…and also actively in denial that our existing system is built on past prejudices that effected distribution of resources such that all notions of fairness are farcical. Americans fascists are cutting the Gordian Knot that conservatives were trying to untie: there is a hierarchy, it is good there’s a hierarchy, and we should never stop using power to enforce that hierarchy.

What’s fucked up is that it feels like the worst shit from the 90s in places like LA have become the norm. Like, how many movies did I watch as a kid where the core point was “well, if only the cops could be harder, because it’s a war out there” and how many people made excuses for the Rodney King beating?
Cops and cop fans talk about policing like it’s an occupation force, and slowly that’s become the reality of how they police…with a lot of help from politicians that gave police both military weapons and anti-terrorism training that re-emphasized that policing was ultimately not about being in a community, but controlling a community from without.
Americans…particularly WASPs…really believe in punishment as the sole and best means to keep order, and I think comes down to how individualism makes a problems into crisises of personal virtue such that the “only” solution is to keep each person in line with punishment. But then I look at shit like what we’ve done to kids with problems and realize it’s not so individualistic that the rod is applied equally: there is very clear hierarchy to who can be harmed how much that you simply don’t talk about because it would reveal a base assumption that most people supporting “tough on crime” define crime as anything that interferes with their comfort.
…and cops and prisons reflect those un-reflected-on base premises, but then add in their own layer of self interest where the objective is no longer safety or justice, but increasing your budgetary rake-in. It’s the same blob as the military-industrial complex.

The oceanic pole of inaccessibility, also known as Point Nemo, is located at roughly 48°52.6′S 123°23.6′W[19] and is the place in the ocean that is farthest from land. It represents the solution to the “longest swim” problem.[20] The problem entails finding such a place in the world ocean where, if a person fell overboard while on a ship at sea, they would be as far away from any land in any direction as possible. It lies in the South Pacific Ocean, and is equally distant from the three closest land vertices which are each roughly 2,688 km (1,670 mi) away. Those vertices are Pandora Islet of the Ducie Island atoll (an island of the Pitcairn Islands) to the north; Motu Nui (adjacent to Easter Island) to the northeast; and Maher Island (near the larger Siple Island, off the coast of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica) to the south.[19] The exact coordinates of Point Nemo depend on what the exact coordinates of these three islands are, since the nature of the “longest swim” problem means that the ocean point is equally far from each.[20]
The area is so remote that—as with any location more than 400 kilometres (250 mi) from an inhabited area—sometimes the closest human beings are astronauts aboard the International Space Station when it passes overhead.[

re: #172 Nerdy Fish
Jesus H. Fucking Christ. They literally want women to get in the kitchen and make them a sammich.
Racists and sexists have always valued subalterns that take their side because they’re incredibly useful to the cause; the superordinate value of “we are owed everything” contextualizes the specific hierarchical assertion of “this kind of person is my natural inferior.”
Whole empires have depended on complicity of a middle strata of inferiors-that-police-other-inferiors. The British despised the babus that did all the administrative work but also depended on them; their military endeavors required colonial levies that were elevated as “martial races.” A great deal of the pain and suffering in colonial and post-colonial Spanish holdings stems from how mixed-race people were lifted up to act as overseers over “pure” blacks and natives.
People can, via social learning, fully accept that it’s their place to rise to middling prestige and punch downward. People can also be desperate to not suffer as they watch their fellows suffer, and play that middling part because the alternative is lethal peril.
Republicans love reactionary women, especially the ones that play the ugliest, because in their sexism it’s actually an endorsement: if a mother/housewife/etc is compelled to take the stage and perform unfeminine rage and contempt, it suggests the urgency of our cause. Reactionary women gladly take up this position because they accurately estimate that they can rise farther exploiting their function as fetishes and permission-givers than through any other means.
As always, it’s important to remember that patriarchy isn’t rule by men, it’s rule by fathers, and every historical patriarchy has incorporated women granted provisional power as enforcers (usually over younger women and children), and those women willing accepting…and often enjoyed…the license so granted.

People like MTG, or Palin before her, or Schafly before either, speak to a primal longing for the type of woman that will beat the servants to keep them in line and will properly discipline the children so that they’re never unruly.

Some years back, there was a rwnj push to name ‘English’ as the official language of the United States. At the same time there was a lot of rwnj hatred towards France.
My response was “Sure, let’s go ahead and do that. Of course we would need an official committee to determine what was officially English and what was not…. Just like the French do.”
At that point there was usually dead silence as they tried to work out what I had just said.

re: #208 Nerdy Fish
Also, am I the only one who sees the irony in portraying a woman who has just established a career in politics, transitioning from a career in business, as a “homely housewife”? She’s, like, the antithesis of the point they’re trying to make. But I suppose they’re counting on the fact that none of the people who watch her are going to be thinking critically about any of it.
The problem is that you’re assuming critical thinking applies, and it doesn’t, because Britt and her portrayal speak to reactionary axioms and base assumptions that are simply apathetic to what you perceive as a contradiction.
Britt is presented how she is because it’s a ritual of abasement that appease the core reactionary priority, that people are not equal. If she prioritized herself as a businessperson or politican she would be presenting herself as valuing status markers associated by conservatives with masculinity and that would be egalitarian.
By emphasizing motherhood, but using the authority of motherhood to reinforce reactionary objectives, Britt is both bending the knee to the reactionary power structure and positioning herself as a vessel for it’s power.
The reactionary power structure, in turn, desperately wants and needs individual “inferiors” to accept their hierarchical premises: they need tokens because tokens can say “I am fine with my allotted position, why would you question these distinctions handed down by authorities?”
If Briit provides value to reactionaries, she will be permitted power and nontraditional roles, but only as long as she plays the part they want. Much like how if you’re a white old man you’re permitted sexual impropriety even as you position yourself as the prime enforcer of sexual purity, position always contextualizes the rules.
This isn’t a misunderstanding or a failure of analysis; reactionaries are speaking a different language entirely, like a thieves’ cant. Everyone participating knows that their system does not works like it says on the tin….even the audience of reactionaries at home don’t really intend to comply with the rigid order they fetishize…but this is what is necessary to legitimate the power and control they see as their patrimony.

re: #124 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus
Some historians may claim there never was a “fall”, that such an idea is antiquated and nostalgic.
As some will point out, the Roman empire simply moved its headquarters east. And it was the Ottomans who ended it.
exactly. I did not realize through my schooling that the Roman Empire technically lasted until the fall of the Byzantium, just in time to release lots of Jewish scholars who knew Arabic, just in time for Columbus to see maps that demonstrated the world was spherical, and based on ancient Greek calculations, Bombay should be somewhere around Bermuda. Well, he was only off by a smidge.
Guys, you need to acknowledge that reactionary women pose as mothers because reactionaries view mothers as domestic enforcers guaranteeing compliant children through punishment and conditional love. They’re there to beat and scream at the kids; they’re there to do blanket training and make their daughters ashamed of their period.
The promise of the reactionary woman public figure is that she’ll apply that reactionary-sanctioned maternal wielding of power…shaming, hectoring, controlling…to the in-obedient children that are the rest of society, while still ceding the final say to the correct men.
The thing that’s preserved is hierarchy: a woman of the correct status markers is permitted to have a business, etc, as long as she performs her mandated function good enough. A woman that has no status markers simply will be permitted nothing.
re: #226 Yeah Sure WhatEVs
The Cybertruck really is the new Aztec, previously the worst “SUV” ever made.
It’s worse than the Aztek because it, at least, had the benefit of being built by a major manufacturer, with long-established processes for certain standard components like suspension, steering, and corrosion control. Things that Elno’s little stans are starting to realize are kinda important.

They have to do that to deal with gangs that dress as clowns in Yankees uniforms, ride on buses, or dress as mimes while trying to intercept other gangs using the trains. Sometimes even girl gangs that act friendly. It’s a challenging town.

re: #209 The Ghost of a Flea
People like MTG, or Palin before her, or Schafly before either, speak to a primal longing for the type of woman that will beat the servants to keep them in line and will properly discipline the children so that they’re never unruly.
Yeah…if that longed-for patriarchal woman acts out she’ll get stepped on, but isn’t a great to have a lady who just *gets* that people aren’t equal and that her job is to enforce the status of her family?
Of course, the patriarchal woman who beat the servants typically had as little to do with raising the children as the father. beyond bithin’ the bra…, er, children, the vast majority of the raising was done by the nanny. beyond a peck on the cheek at night before bed, they were kept as far, and quietly away, as possible.
re: #150 nines09
My dad had a cop friend who would roll his cruiser into a garage his friend owned. They would put it on a lift, just a half foot off the floor, hook up the exhaust hose, turn it on and run the odometer up so he could show he was “patrolling”.
I witnessed it. I knew how to keep my mouth shut.
Have a beer. Light up a cigar. Life is good.
Back in the ’80s my BIL would complain about his night shift maintenance job at a major steel mill in the Ohio River Valley. He complained that because he was on probation for the first six months he had to stay awake all night and read novels to keep him up while his shift-mates slept.
A certain Philip Hone said the following:
That such a man should have governed this great country… and that the people not only should have submitted to it, but upheld and supported him in his encroachments upon their rights, and his disregard of the Constitution and the laws will equally occasion the surprise and indignation of future generations.
Who was he? Philip Hone was the son of a German immigrant who made his fortune in the auction business, retiring at 40 to travel the world and collect books. He became mayor of New York in 1826 but lasted only one year.
He was writing about Andrew Jackson but it could have been written yesterday.
Listening to the Bullitt soundtrack, and I’ve got to say, they really nailed this. Yes, it has a kind of late 60’s ambience to it. There are tracks where go-go girls would not be amiss, but it’s very listenable. Don’t know who the guitarist is, but he’s definitely not the “CBS Orchestra guy who normally plays tuba, but we need somebody for 10 seconds of radio fill on an episode of McCloud.”
