I’m pretty somewhere between “very online” and “extremely online” and I totally missed the 30-50 hogs thing, which is even weirder since it was a response to Jason Isbell who I’m a fan of (music, politics, and his weird recurring role on Squidbillies). 

That’s a pretty solid one. 

I always wonder where the line for “extremely online” is. Is it having a rough idea of what big thing was trending on Twitter, because people write articles about that. Or is it knowing every controversy? Having the mythical “Tumblr social justice warrior” politics?

Got in a pointless and insulting dig about Warren identifying as a capitalist, which was the point, I suppose?

His inner circle is almost entirely white nationalists. He hosted parties at his home. He was tied to one of the largest “white nationalists” in the country, regularly sharing emails and plans. He was in Charlottesville. His wife is an active neo-Nazi.

That paper is declining at an incredible rate. Baquet seems to deserve a huge portion of the blame, but it’s clear he’s not alone. They keep hiring the worst people while proclaiming how important they are. Thinking how many good journalists are currently out of work while a handful of elitist charlatans and…

I know trust in the government is rationally low right now, but I’m not sure people quite understand the culture of State is not the same as most of the agencies people think of, and precisely the pool they draw from. I’ve interacted with active and former State quite a bit. I’m sure there’s a percentage of bigots,…

He used a flimsy pseudonym for at least some of his content on The Right Stuff. I wasn’t kidding about the “terrible opsec” part. A lot of these neo-Nazis share information online that can be used to identify him, including this one. They were not well-hidden.

This guy is a neo-Nazi, but not just a neo-Nazi one of the most active and rabid of the bunch. I must have flagged at least four or five of his Twitter accounts, he was always a big network node that I kept an eye on. I didn’t realize he was part of The Right Stuff, a neo-Nazi website that was engaging in coordinated…

The Daily Caller, Daily Wire, RedState, Gateway Pundit, Washington Times, etc. They’ll pick up the slack. They’ll probably cannibalize most of the writers when it goes under. The grift never ends. If the NYT will hire ghouls like Bari Weiss and Bret Stephens you know a far-right paper will hire all the “white…

He was deported to Baghdad, where the video of him was shot, and Arabic is the majority language in Iraq. Some Chaldeans speak various dialects of modern Aramaic. 

This man was, by every metric but legality, equally American to me. I probably still speak more Arabic than he does, and I’d describe my current Arabic level as “mostly forgotten”. Deporting him to Iraq was an intentional act of cruelty. It led directly to his death.

Can someone please ban this suck fuck? I’m tired of this. I like this site a lot. I give you clicks. I’ve got my ad-blocker off.

Tyson is the Big Bang Theory of scientists. It’s “science” for people who know nothing about science. 

I think we can make an effort to separate the intelligence aspects from the police state aspects, for both Islamists and white terrorists. Doing so would probably be more effective in the long run, as heavy policy tends to reinforce the persecution complex common in radicalization and jails tend to be hotbeds of…

Uh, when confronting Islamist extremism it’s non-extremist Muslims who work with law enforcement. It’s not people into the ideology of Bin Laden but iffy about the violence part. Those people are generally the ones sending material support, which is a crime under US law, and regularly prosecuted for that support.

Ugh, it just had to happen against my team too, and right after he scored when the play should’ve been called dead for a foul. Really a wild emotional ride to go from cursing Philly to appreciating taking a stand that’s pretty likely to get him in trouble with the soulless corporate types at MLS.

It’s painfully obvious any Call of Duty reference was about online troll culture. I haven’t read the manifesto, by the reporting I saw it was fairly predictable if you watch the far-right so there’s not much utility to it, so I can’t say exactly what the reference was or if it was a far-right meme or just an internet…

Probably a few hours away from retweeting the latest conspiracy on the far-right about how the shooters were a false flag by antifa. 

“Look at the imaginary terrorists I made up, don’t look at the real ones that share some ideological similarities with me!” is a hell of a CVE policy.
