I usually like Wyman's stuff but this is off. If the mainstream narrative is going to be of chickens coming home to roost then I would expect the people who are writing about this to at least acknowledge that this is not the first time we've had fascist violence in this country in this century alone and that much of that's happening in Portland is the status quo for a significant portion of this country.
It's certainly true that fascist violence in America isn't a post-911 development, but the entire...I'm not sure what the right word for it is--look and feel? narrative framework? Whatever. But all of the visual trappings and cultural signifiers and the language we use, the entire grammar of this-particular-moment American fascist violence is absolutely informed by and a product of post-911 American foreign policy.

It's like yeah it's true that modern policing and the modern penitentiary system are absolutely a continuation of a history of systemic oppression and apartheid that has its origin in the Atlantic slave trade, but modern policing and the modern penitentiary system are worth considering in their own right specifically because they are functionally the same as the older systems yet are designed to read differently to the general public. Like right now you ask most Americans if the Atlantic slave trade was bad and they'll tell you yeah, terrible, it's good we got rid of that, omg no I'm not a racist why would you even ask me that, while at the same time act like you're some sort of crazy anarchist if you suggest that cops and prisons are a direct continuation of that system. And not just because of conscious intellectual dishonesty. I mean the worst ride-or-die MAGAheads are just hard-r racist and will argue in bad faith. But the huge pasty white midsection of America honestly believes that they're not racist while being absolutely willing to go to bat for systemic racism. That's not an accident, it's because modern American racism isn't a historical accident, and it's not something that people are just born with. It's a technology that's been refined and revised over the course of centuries to achieve precisely this result.

The fact that a similar sort of boiling-the-frog constant revision of the machinery of fascist violence is going on is something that I think is worth calling out, not in the belief that it's functionally different but because it's functionally the same but is somehow or other being parsed as if it was different.

It's a conspiracy theory video about COVID-19. It claims the virus was created in a lab by ~*big pharma*~ to make money on vaccines. Also that the flu vaccine combined with COVID-19 is super deadly. Also Bill Gates has something to do with it in some nebulous way. Also wearing masks "activates" the virus. Also, hospitals are inflating the numbers because they get paid a bounty when a COVID-19 patient dies. Also you should go to the beach because seawater contains "healing microbes" and the sand does...something...that destroy the coronavirus.

I agree that it's worth calling out but the way there genealogy of these developments is being narrativized seems to me to be leaving out quite a lot. I fully expect that the domestic influences and applications will be "discovered" and mainstreamed in twenty years much the same way that people figured out that Nazis got their ideas for racialized genocide and eugenics from stuff that Americans had done to captive populations both at home and abroad.


This podcast in particular is two Black guys who got a bunch of the other Black staffers at Barstool to come on the show and have a "real discussion".

Except that the hosts didn't tell anyone else of the conciliatory tone they were gonna take, nor did they tell them about what the title was going to be. The hosts basically acted as apologists for racists and made it look like the other Black staff agreed with them.

TylerIAm, the guy tagged there, ended up quitting over it and the barstool response to the whole thing in general. Which is unfortunate because he's one of the funniest guys around and hopefully he can land somewhere else.

I don’t want to generalize, and I certainly understand that media jobs are incredibly rare and precious and difficult to come by, and I don’t begrudge a journalist taking work where they can get it, but I have to look at this situation and ask: was anybody surprised?

Like, I don’t want to be all “this is the same as black/brown/queer/trans republicans being somehow ‘shocked and dismayed’ when their colleagues treat them with the same bigotry that they use on the left” but it’s loving Barstool.

I don’t think you can work at a place like that without having internalized and agreed with at least some of the toxicity. I’m just getting peak “leopards eating faces” vibes from this whole deal.

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
Lol individual State Republican Parties are so freaked out by Trumps crusade against mail in voting that they’re fabricating tweets of his in a desperate attempt to get their constituency to request and use mail in ballots.

Florida GOP doctors Trump tweet to solve mail-in voting problem

quote:

Republicans privately fear the president is endangering one of the secrets to the party’s success in the nation’s biggest swing state.

MIAMI — President Donald Trump’s harsh rhetoric against mail-in voting is causing a big problem for Florida Republicans, who once dominated the practice here.

So the state GOP came up with a solution: They doctored one of Trump’s tweets on the issue to remove the stigma.

In an alternate universe, Fred Trump was kind to his son Donald and taught him the values of charity and community. Philanthropist Donald Trump is seen here on the White House lawn playing catch with dozens of Make A Wish children, who are having a meet and greet with several retired MLB stars and President Sanders before hopping into limos filled with McDonalds happy meals and driving to the stadium with Trump for a sky box view of the opening day game.

Barstool is a cesspool, no argument, however if you've been paying attention to the various media controversies around race and journalism playing out in literally every major publication right now it's fairly apparent that even the most prestigious institutions have deep seated problems with discrimination and bias that have, hindered, derailed or outright ended the careers of lots of minorites. NYT, LA Times, ESPN, take your pick. They are all having a reckoning right now.

Marginalized people, minorities in particular, don't get to just opt out of opportunities because we feel like our boss or our co-worker are bigoted. Every day is a negotiation between standing up for yourself (and whatever group you represent) or eating poo poo with a smile so you can keep the lights on. We don't get the same opportunities, so even one misstep can mean your career is effectively over. If I had quit every job I've had where someone said bigoted things or treated me badly because of my race I wouldn't have made it past a week in any of them.

I've been following TylerIAm for years, so I'm probably biased to be sympathetic because I saw him hustle endlessly before getting that barstool platform. He's one of the most talented guys out there and he gave up a cushy gig because he as a Black person felt that he couldn't be associated with an overtly lovely institution anymore since it would be implicitly cosigning their bigotry.

That's the choice we have to make, all the time.None of us chose to live in a world like this, it's nothing like some regretful Trump voter realizing that Trump is bad for them to after they get crapped on by his policies. Your assumption that a marginalized person must hate themselves because they do what they have to survive in an entirely hosed up world is insulting.

Anyway.

Government is broken, somebody needs to restart this thing. Maybe do a factory reset.
