Semper Shitpost Ubique

Step 1: Introduce Americans to Anglicanism
Step 2: Formalize American Empire and create a social ideology where they justify this by believing that they are the embodiment of fairness, order and good government on earth
Step 3: Make championing or embodying this ideology the pathway to professional advancement and social recognition
Step 4: American Thomas Arnold
Step 5: Bobbies on the Beat, The Constables and the Crowd, a Policeman’s Duty etc.
Step 6: Police 2: A Truly Commanding Policeman Never Needs to Brandish His Service Weapon
Step 7: Harmony and peace abounding

Step 7a: Ignore disturbing results like when the American police chief of Shanghai develops a detailed manual for killing people with knives and even designs his own knife to be given to officers.

It's really funny to see people from the intercept make fun of people like Glenn for taking Thiel money. Like they fundamentally do the same thing except it's from the "good" oligarch.

I dearly hope the next episode is the Anibale one they were spitballing focusing on D'Annunzio. It's a loving crime that the only podcast that has covered him is the lovely Robert Evans one.

it’s probably for the best that D’Annunzio isn’t more well known in the Anglosphere. he was an extremely interesting character, which is also what makes him so dangerous. he was the kind of guy certain people seek to emulate.

Their line on D'Annunzio and a bunch of the other proto-fascists is something like "I should probably hate them more, but they're too silly" and that's pretty much how I feel about all the avant-gardist modern reactionaries who were immediately sidelined by actual fascists.

I was rereading the War Nerd Iliad and I came across this line I just had to share. Remember Dolan is not trying to provide a word to word translation of the poetry but replicate the humor and mnemonic tricks with the paragraph structure:

quote:

. Hector's plan is working. As the Greeks collect to contain one breakthrough, other points along the wall are left with no defenders. Sarpedon the Lycian sees a gap and pushes his men into it. The Greeks throw everything they have at him, but he's a hungry lion hunting towards a sheep pen, paying no mind to the commoners' shouts or the rocks they throw.
. Sarpedon drags his friend Glaukos up to the wall, shouting, "We must break through! Nobles, lead the way! War is when we nobles earn our meat, when we show our peasants why they feed us!"
. At that moment, Glaukos falls with an arrow in his shoulder. Then Ajax dropped a boulder on the head of Sarpedon's friend, Epikles. Epikles helmet is crushed as flat as a gold cup lying in the grave. His head is broken; everything goes dark for him.

MC: So many supervillains have been created in Felix's replies, where people have just languished without a pity fave and then became reactionaries.

CW: Felix's un-faved replies are like the vat of acid that the Joker gets dropped into.
