Fuck me.
Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi looks very much like Vítor Pereira post hair transplant.If the regime in Iran falls, mango man will expect all the credit.
Edit. He will take all the credit.
It's terrifying.It's impossible for me to square anymore.
You learn all these things about how awful the Nazis were, the... I mean, what even is the word to describe them? Worse than inhuman. When we learn about WW2 in school here, there is no wiggling whatsoever: these people were bad, evil, point blank period (uh, just don't ask where we got Wernher von Braun from).
And then you see people defending a man casually strolling away from having just murdered a woman, with nearly a dozen cameras pointed at him, carrying on as if it's all business as usual. And suddenly the Nazis weren't bad guys anymore. After all, if you didn't want to be kidnapped or killed by the SS, you'd simply have done whatever they told you, all the time. That'd keep you safe, right?
Right?
I don’t even know what the feeling I have is anymore. It’s like.
I mean, truly, I have never HATED anything like I hate these people. It makes me uncomfortable.
The motivating force behind American career fascism would appear to be wanderlust. My conversations with prospective Enforcement and Removal Operation officers tended to follow the familiar script of engagement with the most banal people on Tinder, the kinds of people who post airplane emojis in their bios. Granting that the banality of evil, as an explanation, has itself become banal, it was hard to know what else to make of all this.
The US is filled with “pretty nice guys” who are ready to inflict, who have already inflicted, senseless and life-shattering violence on innocent, impoverished people.
