1005 - Ice Storm (1/26/26)
Will and Felix talk about the horrific killing of Alex Pretti. We talk about the execution, the man Alex was, why the right despises him, the inspiring response of the people of Minnesota, and reasons to hope that we haven’t irreversibly opened the gates of Hell. We also talk about the public responses, ranging from the bizarre justifications from Mike Cernovich and JD Vance to Sohrab Amari’s attempt at aloofness to the [???] from Tom Friedman. Plus: Marie Glusenkamp Perez dealing the shittiest weed in the world.

This episode and "Crash Out City" are two of the best Chapo episodes of the past few years.

I am begging someone, anyone to get Felix an F16, and main battle tanks to JB Pritzker
I miss Paul Wellstone so much, bros. He'd be super old by now (if he wasn't murdered), but can you imagine the organizational power he'd be capable of if he was a US Senator from Minnesota right now? It would've been so much different from the tepid libs who represent the Minnesota DFL.
Zoo bombing is what Bolsonaro does as payback
Live in Portland…….just choked on my pirate booty laughing at the ahh-oo-gah horn comment!!
On the “liberals are acting not the worst right now” point, I’m noticing that even the girlie pop beauty and design and gym influencers that typically only went as far as “things are crazy out there, remember to keep your peace!” are now filming and posting themselves calling electeds and yelling at them, and giving the “fuck ice and idc if you stop following me, I don’t want your follow” posts, and that’s pretty crazy to see. Idk if it’s a strategic move from the social media management companies or what, (I’m sure it must be) but it’s definitely refreshing for them to like, actually name the evils.
Alright chapos it's bike punk roll call - who else has ridden with the zoo bomb kids, rat patrol in Chicago, cutthroats in RVA, etc. I can't be the only one
Thank you for your service comrade
Mind Over Time is a bonus track, not a hidden one.
To the best of my recollection, no sir. It was merely that concrete.
Just remember that every time you are thinking that you live in Hell and that all of the news stories are too much to bear, that this is horribly unpopular, and the people who are gloating and celebrating this, their version of Hell is just a world where they don't get to wake up to headlines of protesters being murdered or innocent families being torn apart, their heroes are liars and cowards, and this will not last like they hope that it will.

One thing that feels a bit eerie to me is how it really seems to me like a large part of the ICE operations are collecting data on so called "agitators". Most people have seen the videos about being added to a domestic terrorist watch list. With NSPM-7 and the Trump admin throwing the word terrorist around like Oprah giving away free cars, it sure seems like this is the beginning stages of organizing the surveillance state for political use. That said, it's at the least, a bit alarming to hear nearly zero Dem lawmakers talking about the surveillance state or bringing awareness to this issue. Not much movement on regulating one of the most insecure surveillance systems in existence flooding our localities (Flock cameras). If I think about this a bit I really start to wonder if there would be any Dem pushback at all if 2 people weren't murdered. It seems to me they're just as happy about the possibility of neutralizing the "far left" to make their jobs easier as the right is about eradicating it.
Dems love their "Rules Based International Order" as much as any fascist. Biden was happy to break bread with Bezos, Musk, Thiel, and Gates during his term. I've seen nothing to suggest liberals actually oppose the surveillance state. They don't like being in it's cross hairs. But as soon as they're back in charge, they get to point it where they choose, right? It's not like a Liberal Democrat has ever been undone from within their own government.
Halfway through the episode, they're both laughing and saying "damn wouldn't it be crazy if someone on the show violated a horrible taboo and we were just quite about it for the next five years, what would that be like?" We can only speculate, I'm sure.

I am also a 37 year old nurse (who happens to be male). Thank you for eulogizing Alex so eloquently. He was a healer who helped others, till his dying breath and contributed to the world every day. All these pig demons know how to do is destroy and desecrate
real Stancil-heads know that he’s been a hardcore anti-fascist and hater of white supremacists forever. long before Trump was re-elected he was telling nazis to kill themselves in between saying the prices of groceries were stable
He also targeted individuals left of him as antagonists near equals to facists.

As a Minneapolitan who's in the thick of it, I'd like to add a bit of context: Especially since Renee Good's murder, I've seen and heard a lot of the need to be armed for self-defense reasons amidst the ICE invasion. We're watching our community get violently kidnapped, beaten, and now executed in broad daylight. The police's orders are not to protect us. We're showing up to protests and abductions knowing that we're in treacherous territory. There are heavily armed, sadistic, and totally feral hogs that have a green light to do anything they want to us, and we are our only protection. If I had a gun and a conceal and carry license, I'd probably keep it on me right now, too.

Whats that mids outro from?
Never mind. It’s here: https://x.com/Papapishu/status/1628604447998844929?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1628604447998844929%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fknowyourmeme.com%2Fmemes%2Fnothing-above-mids&ct=rw-null
I read up on Sky King today, and there was an Anti-Woke exchange. It wasn’t in the audio of it I’d listened to before; it must’ve been cut out. I’m not going back to look it up, but I think it was: He asks something like, “Hey, do you think Alaska Airlines would give me a job as a pilot if I land this plane successfully?” The air traffic controller responds, “if you land this plane successfully, I think Alaska Airlines will give you any job you want.” Sky King laughs and responds, “No they won’t. I’m a white man.”
What’s the captain freakout lore?
I remember when Chapo was pro-mids smh
Schwag was the term that came to my mind as well.
Usually when we say "so and so is an attack on the working class" we mean it in an abstracted way, e.g. "deregulation leads to more jobsite injuries for workers", etc. However in the case of ICE, it is a literal attack on the working and employable people of society by the unemployable chuds; against mothers, nurses, food industry workers, construction workers, janitorial workers, etc. Already on Chinese social media people are calling Americans a nation of "gun-wielding cowards with no moral backbone", with many netizens puzzled by how all these gun owning Americans let their authorities get away with shooting civilians on the streets.
Do not smoke mids and listen to this

Chill with the Eragon slander Felix
easily the worst book I've ever tried to read
I will push back on the gun bit a little- even the most vile and reactionary areas of the internet (that I have seen) are thoroughly disgusted with Pretti’s murder. Small and slim sample size but compared to NRA boomer slop, pretty solid takes.
the comments I'm seeing on even left-leaning facebook meme pages are blood curdling. basically for a lot of people the whole way of thinking is that, they were idiots for protecting scammers and rapists and they asked to get shot
Felix on Curtis Yarvin, oh my fucking god, my jaw opened

It's a shame that Glusenkamp-Perez is ontologically evil because she could take home the gold in the Brown Eyed Autistic Women Olympics
The self-loathing aspect to these freaks is something I've thought a lot about before. I've wondered about why I never became all bitter/misanthropic despite having a similar life in many ways*, and I think it's mainly because, despite everything, I feel comfortable in my own skin and like what I see in the mirror. I put significant effort into staying fit and having good hygiene, and I think it goes a long ways towards keeping me sane and grounded. Despite everything, I still like myself. It's easy for me to imagine someone who hates who they are just completely disassociating, losing their mind, and clinging to hateful fantasies/delusions. * no romantic experience at 40, live with parents (though I do have a decent job and could afford to live alone - I just choose not to since my parents are old and I get along with them okay), and generally don't have a social life due to being on Suboxone from an opiate addiction in my 20s (which leaves me very low energy and generally incapable of enjoying things like other people)
A king's spirit in your heart. I'm pretty sure they had distant or antagonistic family, so they never found comfort or relief to build a center.
Anyone find an article out there on MGP selling skunk?
The satanic prison industry is behind the seemingly-baffling "cowardice" and Nazi accomodation of the Democratic party. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are trying to sell millions of us into captivity to be bled for wealth by GeoGroup, CoreCivic, Aramark, GTL, et al. It is slavery, pure and simple, and the Trump administration is threatening to ruin for them with its shocking, uncontrolled enthusiasm.
I think Kamala was 100% honest about what she stood for in 2024: everything Trump wanted to do, but with a lid for decorum, using the racist lies of Trump to facilitate the transfer of millions more Americans, declared "illegal," to slavery. I can't deny that I've been shocked by Trump 2 but I'm increasingly persuaded that if Kamala won, the process is slower and resistance is impossible, and that's the difference. That's why Abolish Ice is non-negotiable. The Searchlight demons opposing it have already been exposed as paid lobbyists for CoreCivic.
my dad is out hunting or shooting pretty much whenever he’s not working or sleeping, and my brother has made a career out of firearms wholesales. as you can imagine, they both lean right. however, they both hate ICE and have lost pretty much all faith in MAGA. just wanted to share the anecdote
Nice. Your dad has a good skill set to have a really funny life experience before he gets to old to piss by himself.
If this is representative of the “left” in the US then we are completely cooked and we must be liberated from without.
Elaborate
Thanks for that “The Fray” to Save a Life joke, made me take the gun out of my mouth to chuckle a lil
Felix, you can go shooting with me any day, bud
A smart democrat presidential hopeful will do something like -a mix of non-specific economic populism, think Obama era campaign promises -a calculated “both sides” stance on Israel-Palestine which will alienate the isreal lobby but also accept that the polling indicates this isn’t really liability for the democratic base anymore -most importantly, promise (and actually attempt) to go full Nuremberg on every member of the Trump administration, family, and the DHS. Gavin Newsom is perfectly poised to be this guy, and I do think he will try. Not that I support him, but I think he’s the only major Democrat opportunistic enough to go for it. BUT I fully expect the Democratic Party to actively sink him with the many scandals and moral crimes he has lurking, while trying to ram through Kamala or Josh Shapiro or maybe JB Pritzker, run a campaign on calling Trump a bigot, healing the national divide, and trying to find imaginary centrist voters, and we get president Vance in Felix’s 20,000 voter election.
He said something weird about Israel with Ben Shapiro I thought. Also torpedoed wealth tax. He's kind of a loser imo. He might be able to get some distance with the right running mate. We need to call for ICE to be executed if we want to shift things far enough that any significant number are imprisoned.
Not the most important thing going on but an under-discussed part of the JD ice cream tweet is it’s some shitty Midwest brand that prob has the consistency and blandness of spackle. Every Asian, Mexican, even MAHA erewhon $15 pint ice cream or soft serve in the gayest parts of California is better than that dogshit Midwest cookies & cream (really childish flavor). Fat pig doesn’t even know good treats!
I feel like Midwestern ice cream is catching an unwarranted stray here. Why would you think it's somehow inferior to coastal ice cream? It's an area famous for its dairy products. Also cookies and cream is a classic, I don't know what you're on about
There’s some former sniper on TikTok that comes across my feed and he’s definitely a liberal of the type that was probably formally a republican and now finds the current administration abhorrent and he did a breakdown of the killing of Alex pretti which I have adopted. It shows that there’s a officer who wants Alex is basically on all fours on the ground disarms Alex and as he’s walking away accidentally discharges, the gun which scares the border patrol agents and causes the first guy to Merc Alex. Other details is I guess another border patrol agent after he was already shot just mag dumped into his body on the ground then he ended up with like 10 bullet holes. Another report stated that well EMS was not allowed in here. It was clear that the border patrol agents weren’t trying to render any sort of aid/resuscitation and apparently we’re just counting the bullet holes.
I also recall hearing audio of one of the border patrol agents standing around after kind of laughing and saying man it’s just like Call of Duty®. I’m not really sure if it’s after before honestly but either way the whole thing just reeks of just ineptitude. Which it’s sort of strange because at least these border patrol agents appear to be former basement dwelling neck beards that weeks ago may have been talking about their kill death ratio. Where is Jonathan Ross if that’s his name that killed Renée, Goode is a veteran and has prior law enforcement experience and clearly was executing very proficiently what he was trained to do.
By the time I got to Reed the weed merchants sold high-quality bud (often from dispensaries but some also grew their own stuff or knew people who did) to the under-21s at a modest markup. Didn't know how good we had it

I think Felix is right about the degradation of human life and the uniqueness of American mass shootings. It might be trite for this pod, but the American project is built on still warm bodies, blood and bones That’s why the comparison of the neo-con set as the imperceptible skinwalker/btk-style killer vs the libidinal rampaging ultra-violent MAGA faction as a nihilistic, suicidal, spree killer is spot on. Same goes for any uproar about NATO, Greenland, or, Venezuela. This violence is and always has been permissible. it’s been lauded. These types only object because they’re giving the game away.

Thanks for making the distinction that Alex Pretti wasn’t just observing or protesting but he was helping women and these Nazis really hate women. It’s very scary and important to call out.
Felix, people think you are gay/bisexual because you are constantly joking about having sex with men. I just assumed it was something you actually did
Guys it’s a JOKE.
The outro goes fucking hard. This episode belongs in the library of congress. Yall have been killing it lately!
Guys I just found out I’m gay bc you KNOW I’m have to have that crème brûlée
I love the takedowns of these ghouls but I have to say I keep hoping they'll go full Noah Kulwin and just lay into the complete amoral, racist grifting of their former dirtbag lefties, especially Anna, who seems to revel in pissing on the corpses of dead protestors. Just a wee bit of distance from her especially considering Amber's fairly recent guest appearance promoting her book would honestly make me feel comfortable never looking at what Anna or Dasha has to say ever again.
We've known amber is stupid and annoying for 10 years. Not much to say on that
actually glusencamp perez is the estranged daughter of san francisco giant’s mascot lou seal and her entire political career is a plot to get revenge on him for selling her for a bag of mids as a small child, much like jd’s grandmother back east

Maybe lots of rightwing gun nuts are hypocrites. Maybe their stated reasons for staying armed are consciously dishonest. I've thought in recent years tho that there's more to it: Many people who are most committed to 2A are people who've been at the frontier of empire. They are people who have smelled the slaughterhouse that is US foreign policy. They are people who, consciously or not, through life experience have come to an intimate understanding of what the US government is and what it is capable of. An understanding that is mostly absent from the lives of the college educated liberals. They know in their bones what it would mean to be at the wrong end of US state violence. Now all Americans are beginning to understand that nightmare, and unfortunately we're all going to be made to understand it in ever more granular detail. Whatever the conscious reasoning of rightwingers, I think it's obvious that they were correct to fight to keep the people armed. It's one reason I think that gun people may have seemed heartless in the wake of mass shootings. When confronted by a worried gun control advocate they'd say "It's tragic." But in the back of their minds was a psychic knot, an incessant refrain, "you don't know what they'll do to us. you don't know what they'll do to us. you don't know what they'll do to us..."
I think this is a good point and I think what a lot of right wing people lack is class consciousness that would allow them to truly know who should have the barrel pointed at them. Don't get me wrong so many of them are far gone and have mutated into dogs of the state but maybe subconsciously they had a point. Past labor movements were fought with a gun and they ultimately won and that is a very dangerous thing for capitalism. It makes sense that the US government would want to make 2A seem like a thing only insane right wingers believe in. Its making me realize maybe I took 2A for granted.
we are Capitan Freakout.
Was out there on Friday, it was amazing.
While we have everyone out on the streets against ICE, we should ask them how they feel about their boss, their landlord, their wages, their bills, and their healthcare. There's so much to be furious about, but there's also a huge opportunity - to not just bring these criminals to justice, but also deliver long overdue relief to the vast majority of Americans.
Again I want MGP primaried by the progressive not just for the good of the world but also I'm tired of the attention my district gets because of this batty lady.
A regular cop disarmed a man and unloaded his gun into his back in Utah back in 2015 or so. It’s funny that the boys think this is the gotcha for ICE. As if most Euro-Amerikans aren’t just little self-interested Adolf Treatlers.
I'll never own a home, but thank god i own this gun!
Shot in the back by the federal government. There couldn't be a more simple, perfect metaphor.

I think Felix is forgetting how it was that most of us found out who will stancil is, which was the tweet he made after israel killed 500 people by striking a hospital in Gaza and then releasing the fake audio recording. Is that all forgiven now cause he's making content when the gestapo came to his town?
HE'S JUST A GUY! YOU CAN DO THIS TOO! :poop:
Praying for an ICE agent with a conscience to start fragging his comrades. A Krispy Kreme Dorner, if you will.
I think they test for that. A regular cop could do it. Dorner was built different. Shot his own hand doing gun kata.

I did enjoy hearing "Marie Concentration Camp Perez". That's worth $5.
A reminder that this is the only political podcast I need. ♥️
As a gun owner and pilot I extend an open invitation to Felix to come shooting and/or flying next time he’s in San Diego
sounds beautiful
You guys should check out Coexist Inc. Issac knew Marie glussenkamp Perez when she crashed on his couch back in the day. You should get him on.
I don’t think I’m very media literate but do conservatives really wanna see shit like The Pen Dragon Cycle even if they did wouldn’t they just watch Game of Thrones or something…
Nah, shows too much cock.
On your comments about gun people being pro-ICE, my very right-wing finance professor said that he or any of his buddies would have pulled a gun if they were in the position of Rumeysa Ozturk when ICE approached her
They certainly think that. The next time a right wing gun dude intercedes against state violence will be the first time.
I may need to see that MGP mids dealer penny farthing photo

So, Felix just learned about Esperanto.
he probably did the same thing as me and read George Soros's wiki page this weekend. Soros's dad was an Esperanto fanatic, which must've been the highest ideal for a secular Hungarian Jew in the 1930s. broke: weird Finnish nonsense; woke: Yiddish; bespoke: a universal (European) language

“The powerful can kill one, two or three roses, but they will never be able to stop the coming of spring.” This quote from Lula da Silva came to mind for me when I heard about the killing of Alex Pretti. I am an optimist.
When the guys call for the jailing of Noam miller, bovino etc, they are absolutely right but I’m reminded of in 2008 how no one went to jail, or no one from the bush admin went to prison for the war on terror or Reagan getting away with Iran contra or even Nixon getting to slink off and become an elder statesman
Thats kinda the thing. A lot of those people that were responsible for those atrocities are still involved with politics. Theres a good argument to be made that part of the reason we are in this situation is because there were no consequences for those people. I'll never forget the horror I felt when I learned about what Elliot Abrams oversaw in El Salvador only to find out he was still working in foreign policy.
Can someone point me to this Captain Freakout reference? Haven’t been able to come up with anything but it sounds familiar.
Seconded. I know he's mentioned in Seeking a Fren and I'd like to find the episode with the original reference.
Felix defending Stancil and acting like the reason people hated him isn't obvious is baffling. Contrarianing yourself into a defense of one of the most annoying dickheads on twitter is really the dark side of Felix as a character. Maybe he was just in a coma during the 6 months before the last election.
not buying into this "they are in hell". lib stuff
Will’s cinematic explanation is more compelling than a dry materialist analysis of how ICE comes to be this way i.e. I don’t think “they are in hell” precludes us taking action
“Raising awareness for middle child syndrome”
"When you see the way this feeds their libidinal ego, and it's a pornographic exercise for them when they see their fellow citizens be executed by agents of the state, for these people: they live in hell. By that I mean, to be inside their skull, to experience life every day for these people, is to live in hell. It is to be in a self-created world of constant misery and fear and paranoia and alienation. The thing is, they will not be content until everyone else feels just a fraction of the fear and self loathing they experience every waking moment of their life." Goddamn Will, that's a Cushbomb-level treatise. Loved it

this is not giving me hope. the only solution to any of this is for democrats to embrace the precedent set by Trump, and invade conservative districts for frivolous reasons. Kidnap Bukele and throw him in guantanamo. Invade Israel for their oil.

His tragic fentanyl overdose you mean?
Really makes you realise how bad it must have been in Italy and Germany in the 1920s and 30s eh, and who the people were who staffed the brown and blackshirts. They were also unemployable thugs taking their impotency out on the employed, the exact same kind of limp dicked losers as in ICE. Except they got away with it, until they were killed almost to a man on the Ukrainian steppe by communist peasants. Funny to think that when communism and fascism went head to head the commies stomped the living shit out of the fash. I like that.
I mean, the Soviets threw their collective mass at the Nazis. 20 million soviets died, roughly half from combat. Calling it a slaughter house is generous to the output of slaughter houses.
Much has been said about missing Matt's historical and materialist analysis but I have to commend Will for his astute psychological insight into the nihilist fascist right. If you don't know one of these people, I promise you that everything Will said is deeply, cuttingly accurate.

Just heard on Jacobin Radio: ICE is the WPA for the Proud Boys.
The “he’s ____ for an amazing reason” joke made me think of how cool it’d be to get Dan Hentschel on the pod.
they call it the Department of Homeland Insecurity because of their small dick, you know that?
Look, you spend that much time in the ICE there's going to be some shrinkage, n'est pas?
Agree with Felix, Stancil the happy warrior has been heartening and fun to follow
Im a stancil convert. That man is a liberal super soldier, fighting facism with unpopular statistics, graphs, and his phone cam, god be with him.
To this day any comment section on ICE articles will have several libs saying "Obama and Biden deported more immigrants than Trump without mass violence in the streets" like that's a good thing
Never underestimate the ability of almost everyone to learn all the wrong lessons. We do earnestly need re education camps.
Just as always, the Dump admin takes a possible political win and overplays their hand, turning the majority of the public against them. The only question is, does it result in consequences this time, or do we once again see the envelope of what is acceptable get pushed ever further?
Id bet my life savings the Dems do absolutely nothing. It's not in the donors and landlords interests to fuck up the bag, and they're loving these fashie markets and the wholesale shredding of regulations. It's up to normal Americans to get justice and I don't think they really have it in them. I hope I'm wrong but I think most Americans just want to lay low and avoid dealing with any of this shit
https://youtu.be/gotB5q-uqLk?si=DySEL0qQIG-i3wV5 FELIX here is some study material
Liz made a great point yesterday that every time Trump tacos, he loses a little bit of power and confidence. She was talking about the dollar, but the same is true of his political power. No one's going to forget this because Trump got rid of Bovingo. Keep the pressure up until the dems cut his balls off in November.
Happy to see I'm not the only lefty considering purchasing guns
President Ro Khanna’s 1st signing in January 2029 is a bill to move the capital to Minneapolis and demolish the state’s entire footprint in DC to be replaced with Social Housing 🖤🖤🖤 Solidarity 🖤
Ro has played the longest sleepiest sleeper game in history. I would entertain the idea of voting for him though.
There also needs to be a criminal investigation of the management and oversight of the for-profit companies who manage the immigrant concentration camps. There are stories of people not getting food, freezing temperatures, and just absolutely miserable conditions inside facilities. Even now, the Democrats should condition any funding deal on more transparency and access to these facilities.

Is there a way to get the ~20% of America that’s some combo of irredeemable / unfit to cohabit with the rest to live in a Truman show dome in ‘The Villages’ that’s gets turned into partially a work camp and fake publishes their articles like fake admitting Hitler to art school? Between gators, tropical diseases, brain melting sun & humidity, sea level rise, hurricanes , abundant weapons, scam businesses that are legal in Florida, I sorta feel like the problem could ‘solve itself’ on this one w/ all these hiterlite American suburbia-spawned mutants and freaks (I see no meaningful difference between your Millers, Frentii, Kirk’s et al?). Reading about proposed Buc’ees mayor disintegration in Palmer Lake Co near vale & Aspen or that shoddy POS 432 park in NYC on billionaires row and all the nouveau riche living amongst eachother, in a way, that might be punishment enough / they do live in hell as you guys say, just their rights to inflict it on the rest of us need to be curtailed whether wealthier and/or smarter or dumber and poorer or more middle strata, there is just that rump ~20% + news and mass media overload? In the days before mass media and peak IWW in the PNW it was a little easier for at least some % of (maybe mostly white and more male, but still??) people to come together and imagine a better world was possible, but they didn’t have mass media and a world bestriding nuclear top tech military fully developed / the well we live in now does sit atop every failed communal project.,,
Love it. Everyone outside the villages serves a two-year deployment to the Starbucks adult day-care center on every block. 🫡

the ticking clock on DHS's website... sure that's nothing
We should just saw off Florida and push the whole state into the ocean, like the Inuit did when they needed their annoying useless old people to just fucking die. It’s literally a time honored long-standing American tradition.
Only correcting you because it’s funnier: she represents Washington’s suburbs of Portland.
she must've been the first reedie actually from the greater Portland area. nice kids but there must be some sort of process when applying to the ivies that the sub 1200 kids get shipped off to the "public ivies" while the 1600 kids are exposed to trance music and if they exhibit any positive reactions they're shipped off to Reed.
I’ve been a listener for far too long because I found myself thinking, “Why shouldn’t Felix get a decommissioned F-16 🥺”
I enjoyed Felix’s ‘Jacob Frey To Save A Life’ joke
Frey’s supporters should call themselves the Freykorps!
I was sorely disappointed there was no key party comprised of Nixon era elite Manhattan expats.
It is a huge fucking pet peeve of mine when people present Rashomon as being about an event being seen from "different perspectives" or "the absence of objective truth." It's a complete misreading of the message. The point of Rashomon was that all the people involved in the rape and murder were LYING to themselves, not seeing the world through different lenses. They all make themselves and the way they project their identity the center of the story, whereas the reality is that they were all fucking cowards who are subject to larger forces. Their fear of facing up to their own limitations causes them to be caught up in a moment and fail to resist it. The monk is the only one who breaks out of the cage of the human condition by doing something selfless (taking in the orphaned baby). It's actually quite relevant to what's happening now.
Ya, I know but still fuck the Compact guy 🖤
At what point do we need the absolute best Scandinavians who keep the whiteout camo, meth pills & automatic weapons in cabinets in their houses to help us rebuild whole climate-proof cities in creative ways that help us bottom-up rely on the police less (of all kinds) in MN for what id like to call the ‘no backsies’ modern inverted Sherman’s march / civil war re-litigation policy for monied Texans and ex confederate Nazis and affluent suburbanite hitlers from invading our best cities and go back home as many the Vikings did to allow Somalis (or the rest of us?$ or similar to live in relative peace going forward? No optimism, no real historical precedent for this + climate catastrophe + continuing squeeze on most people / can’t support a family on a regular job? We better develop those antibodies if there’s any path going forward… That said, Norwegians don’t have any particular reason to leave home / come to MN in another wave, cutting edge military tech & the like, despite scarcity and Nazi or imperial colonization being within living memory among white people & them actually jailing and hanging some Nazis and being a bit reluctant to share their oil revenue w/Sweden / have cutting edge able bodied sea men, ice breakers and nukes? (Which is what’s probably cold bloodedly what’s necessary?) And we probably need bullet proof gated sturdy row houses that are flexible and can be rebuilt/ easily disassembled and re-assembled &/or moved that share more in common with homestead / farm stead houses than apartment cubes / towers & McMansions where we meet our neighbors at the sidewalk gate & allow them in / shelter from authority if we trust them? And, hopefully rely on police a lot less with much less frontage to defend than our crappy detached houses, postwar sprawling car-centric light timber, especially? That’s probably largely what it’s really going to take, but loooooooong narrow winding grinding road to get there? (Assuming there is one?)
3/10 schizopost, another group of nazis will not come and save you
shoutout to felix for name dropping adx florence. ice is breaking the american 10 commandments, so they should go to American hell
They should go to Missouri?
I don’t think the fact that these DHS guys are retarded is comforting or some kind of silver lining. The Rushmore of reactionaries is littered with people like this. Extremely brain damaged people with nothing to do make great foot soldiers for the domestic front. They can’t think three dimensionally enough to absorb the implications or consequences of their actions, and they don’t stop pushing toward the abyss under their own volition.

Okay we did it. Greg Bovino was fired. We solved the impending fascist takeover. Can we get an Avatar 3 episode now???

Minnesota is WINNING. I got no personal connections there, but my mom is a Minneapolis native. Much respect.
I appreciate the The Fray joke
we as americans should gather together and beat jd to death like the tree monster in the smiling friends halloween episode
We are having an effect: ICE commander Generalissimo #1, Gregory 'Bovine' Bovino, got pulled by Trump for bad ratings.
getting fired for poor ratings and not for murdering civilians is so wild
One of the worst new sincerity novels
FUCK ICE
Ice storm, i beat dark souls 1 on my steamdeck until it died and then the power was out and i froze to death unfortunately
Felix begins speaking at 45 seconds
