a very humble and messy basement lol
Antifascism has to respond and react. Self and co-regulation can limit reactivity. A good place to start but also come back to, and offer to others if they don't have it.

Shout out to all commenters who can't seem to absorb the gravity of a thing before demanding to know what your nerdy tweak would be. If you're going to harsh the mellow, you better bring some treats. (There are no treats in anticapitalism.)

Donald Trump's shitpost attack on Pope Leo XIV, followed within the hour by an AI slop icon of himself as Jesus, has cracked open the evangelical-Catholic coalition that has anchored American conservatism for fifty years.

Gregorian Bivolaru: Tantric abuser & trafficker. Thrived in a Romania traumatized by the Ceaușescus. Integrated his yoga course distribution with ashram porn distribution. Told his victims that webcam sex work was a spiritual service.

Notes on Trump's BLASPHEMEME, via Jean Baudrillard:
1. The image is the *reflection* of a profound reality
2. It *masks and denatures* a profound reality
3. It *masks the absence* of a profound reality
4. It has no relation to any reality whatsoever

Reaching 50K followers on IG: time to reflect a little on how these platforms are exploiting us, and how I can minimize exploiting you. Using Jodi Dean's "communicative capitalism" as a model.

Great convo with Leftie Jane about Mark Carney's insane proto-fascist bills, all shoe-ins with his new majority.

Thx, yes it's real, and I could have spent a small detour to underline that.
For everyone outside of America wondering how easily a culturally different liberal democracy can mimic and point to fascism: here are some facts to consider about today’s Canada under Mark Carney, who just won a majority government.

Sorry did I say it is not real?
For "content creators" who feel odd about the term, as if it's papering over some pit of alienation gnawing at the soul. (Maybe that's a little dramatic, but sometimes...)

correction: "Staiman"
Meet Eliayuh Staimen, aka Lyle Culpepper, and the fashy schtick that mocks Palestinians and First Nations through the same dirtbag settlerism.

Jonathan Kay mocks Leah Gazan about an acronym as Mark Carney cans funding for indigenous women's programmes.
Some permission structures for fascism are just lazy, smug, and cruel.

As so many are so fond of speculating on what drives people to give their pronouns or work out equity processes, here's my own speculation on the instinct to sit on the sidelines and finger-wag about the weird kids.

Another sharp critique of Rockhill's Who Paid the Pipers?
"A new book dismisses the entirety of Western Marxism through circumstantial evidence, insinuation, and ad hominem attacks. Ultimately, it vindicates the very tradition it seeks to criticize."

There are a lot of Catholics out there who can't see that when Bishop Barron stands shoulder to shoulder with Trump and Paula White he also stands in a long line of shameful Catholic fascist enablers. Relevant history here.

A new crop of encounter groups center men, obscure social reproduction, groom boys into muscular Xtianity looksmaxxing, and provide soft cultural support for ICE.

If PM Carney is really Catholic he can call up Leo and ask for the sacrament of confession. Especially after yesterday.

If you heard my Brief from March 28, you’ll know longtime Conspirituality listener Joseph Baker died on Feb 4 at the age of 51.
We recorded this conversation in January, 2024. We explored my allergy to A Course in Miracles and Joseph’s devotion to it.

To my fellow cradle Catholics, disillusioned Catholics, post-Catholics, gutter Catholics:
What is going on with Leo? Is he playing with us?
What is this dialectical pressure that has brought the radical flank into the Vatican? Is it enough?
