Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current President of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality.

Also if you're gonna be lugging around that much extra weight, wouldn't you be much better served by bringing a suppressor for your very real firearm which your mom definitely didn't forget to pack again.

Also, I have to wonder how many lightbulbs you'd need to take out even if you were inclined to do so when your raid is in broad daylight.

The funny thing is that for all of their Roman salutes and talk about the Boogaloo or whatever, they don't really belive in anything. If you try to find something like a fascist intellectual corpus or unified theory you're going to come up blank. Most of it just comes down to nostalgic romanticism about whatever they idealize about "white culture" and endless plans to murder their enemies. They're stupid, and almost all of them are completely mediocre cowards at heart.

Fascism in general has very little cohesive ideology, beyond "we were strong before but have been made weak by our enemies and *targeted minority group here* and we shall return to strength"

Hitler is pretty much the only one to have a specific idea of what fascism should be.

Everyone should read Umberto Eco's essay Ur-Fascism, as it is the only explanation of fascist "ideology" I have ever found to be insightful. A summary, and a link to the essay are here:

Also what kind of loving raid can you manage with 60 people? An open assault as the first step of a coup is probably the stupidest possible plan of action. Why not, like, smuggle your weapons to the capitol and then try to occupy it? A raid just means getting intercepted by the whole loving army as the best case scenario

it's more about what it does than what it thinks. and what it thinks can't be abstracted from material conditions. like the 1930s nazis' creation of a mongrelized judeo-bolshevik slavic horde to the east was functional for their imperialist, settler-colonialist goals and giving their supporters an Other to unite against. some real dead-enders can believe in that today but it's not functional, whereas the threat to "german culture" posed by immigrants and asylum seekers, feminists and social-justice warriors is something to work with.

"Actually, I'm really popular among the populace, who would rise up to support me if I was just given a little support" is a song that every exiled leader or emigre group sings, and you have to be a tremendously gormless sucker to fall for it (see: George W. Bush and Ahmad Chalabi).

There are whole sections of The Prince where Machiavelli warns against taking the claims of exiled leaders about their support at face value.

Also maybe they think they can get a fawning profile in the New York Times with a headline like “meet the #metoo nazi” or “some millennials see the twenty-first century as an era for respecting women, while others see it as the birthplace of a new fascist order. For this bright young man, it is both.”

The difference between acceptably used sheets and clean ones is very tactile, and if they go too long they don't seem to absorb or retain heat as well, something fixed by a fresh wash. So like once a week in the summer, a little longer between in the winter when I'm sweating less, but ultimately it comes down to whether I feel good when getting into bed or not

The plan was apparently to occupy the airport, and use that to bring in a larger force by air. Of course that raises the question of whether they actually had any support to bring in at all, how they were actually going to take over an entire airport with 60 people, and why wouldn't Maduro just shoot down those planes before they even got close to landing.

Near as I can tell that doesn't seem to be the case. Silvercorp was founded in 2018 and the guy who runs it worked private security for some trump rallies. He started angling for a military coup in venezuala after working security for a pro-guaido concert run by richard branson. The actual funding for this shitshow might have come from the heir to the Kraft cheese fortune. Just normal 2020 things.

And yet, somehow, now it's my fault ...
Is Jocko Willink part of the alt-right or alt-right friendly? He's a name that's started cropping up in Youtube suggestions (right next to "Jordan Peterson destroys feminazi with logic!") and there seems to be a lot of him playing with knives and offering tough-dad advice. I'm not real clear on who he is, despite reading his Wikipedia entry, although this is worrying: "After appearing on the podcasts of Tim Ferriss, Joe Rogan, and Sam Harris to publicize his book, Willink started his own weekly podcast, The Jocko Podcast."

He was Chris Kyle's commanding officer at one point and a Navy SEAL so that means he has killed at least one baby.
