I can hear my father saying that just because somebody else is even worse, doesn't make our wrongdoings any better.

This is some bat**** crazy stuff.  

Trump used to infamously attack John Mccain and thought soldiers who died in war were suckers and then this:

He sounds nice ...

To Mark Robinson, gay and transgender people are “filth”, homosexuality is an abominable sin, and the transgender movement is “demonic” and “full of the spirit of the antichrist”.

Muslim Americans, meanwhile, are invaders, and Robinson is not afraid to dabble in antisemitism: in his mind an international cabal of Jewish financiers make up a modern-day “four horsemen of the apocalypse”, who rule the banks in “every single country”.

Lots of people have offensive and conspiracy-minded beliefs. But not all of them are running, as Robinson is, to be governor of North Carolina.

And to people who don’t share Robinson’s views, the problem is that it looks like he could win – furthering the Republican party’s years-long lunge to what was previously rightwing fringe politics.

“Mark Robinson would be the most extreme gubernatorial candidate but also governor that we’ve ever seen in our history,” said Anderson Clayton, the chair of the North Carolina Democratic party.

I won't share the actual tweet here—I'll leave that to those sympathetic individuals to share if they want to—but I just find the language being used in the headline really interesting, because practically nobody I have ever known has ever used "jackal" as an insult, political or otherwise. You know who does use it? Putin and the Russians. "Jackals" is a super common political insult there going back to at least Soviet times, along the lines of "running dogs" used by the old Asian Marxists.

It's the little clues that reveal things ...

Nailed it.  

 

English author Eric Arthur Blair -- who wrote under a pseudonym -- had a lot of really interesting thoughts in essays he did on the development of language which was derived from Russian and German word forms in Fascist and Marxist dogma.

I love how the same people that had no problem playing identity politics with the Nashville shooter all of a sudden are alluding to the Allen shooter as being a "false flag".... 

It's all so transparent and all so dumb.

Elon Musk is on Twitter questioning why there wasn't protests when Christians got killed in Nashville. There was literally a march on the capitol and three Democrats were expelled for protesting.

I remember the first time I'd ever heard the term "false flag". It was only about a decade ago, and it was by Ballmich on the old site. I seem to remember it was something—maybe Benghazi?—that he was trying to accuse the Obama administration of perpetrating. I'd never heard anything referred to in such a way before that. Now seemingly everything is a goddamned false flag.

I know ballmich more or less disappeared after Trump was elected (except one time leading up to the 2020 election), but his brand of engagement really was a leading indicator of the direction that the GOP was lurching in.... so much of the themes and language he used have become increasingly mainstreamed in conservative thought.

It's because of him that I even knew what Infowars and ZeroHedge were.

There's a war on for your mind!

[Dan Gilmore]

His “justification” for his rights- to drive his SUV over protestors was both insightful and iciteful. 😳. That and the Infowars garbage.
