46/ I'd be remiss if I didn't mention all the liberals who told people to stay away from DC. This is what happens when antifascists don't confront the far-right-- they're allowed to literally storm the Capitol Building. The police are not handling it.

This is going to be an important thread. We need to talk about YouTube, and private media operations in general This thread was prompted by YouTube’s shadow ban of my new video, but that’s really just a minor inconvenience. The whole story involves YouTube, the DHS, and the CIA

If there’s a subject you’re interested in or just want a general recommendation, I have way too much free time and can let you know or post a list of some stuff you may or may not find interesting.

If anyone ever feels like the present is hard to pin down, occasionally stuck in a weird surreal limbo with a perceived lack of historicity personal or otherwise (as I often have and do), I really can’t suggest enough reading some books about anything
