Jesus fucking Christ. At this point is there anything that could like sober him up? Or will he just run Twitter to the ground with ads revenue plummeting and move on or sell it to Facebook or Google or Microsoft? Who in the right mind would pay this man for ads when he acts like a fucking maniac.
It is literally because of this shit that I bought a gun. The right is working themselves up into a stochastic frenzy to start lynch mobs like in the dark olde days. These are the same fucking chuds that 100 years ago would have proudly collected "souvenirs" from a vigilante hanging, they never went away, they just need permission to be let off the leash.
I'm honestly just surprised that the pogroms haven't begun yet. A testament to how cowed and docile the entire populace (even far right lunatics) are.
I mean, I feel like the mass shootings at LGBT nightclubs kind of are pogrom-adjacent. They're not riots technically, since it's all lone gunmen, but maybe that's just how the concept adapts to the US, where:
the degree of alienation is so severe that a lot of fascists might not really even be capable of large-scale organized hate crimes
guns are easily and widely available, which significantly increases the ability of a single person to do massacres, something which you really needed a large group of people to pull off for most of history
Although that mysterious Metcalf-style power outage from the start of the month is probably not exactly a good omen, that might have been a more organized effort.
At least, fascists got poisoned by individualism too, still a dubious comfort.
The child kidnappings in Texas have already begun.
