on the new War Nerd they bring on Yasha to talk about US using immigrants as part of their soft power regime change strategy. so Soviet Jews used to be a protected and valued element of the American melting pot, but now because of Russiagate they’re all a 5th Column.

Can't wait for Yasha to publish a piece about the Vietnamese-American exile assassination squad and then get death threats over it.

Frontline and ProPublica did some reporting about those killings a few years ago and a depressing amount of the coverage of the reporting was about how parts of the community were offended by it.

remember when Barzani tried to gamble on an autonomy vote within Iraq and somehow lost all of their autonomy in that gamble by completely misreading the situation?

it feels like the SDF in Syria gambled again big and now they're trapped in hell.

God, seriously. This was one of the vanishingly few things they had some optimism about. It seemed like the SDF was actually building something. So loving enraging.

I dunno, I love most of Dolan's writing and he scores some good points here but then there are paragraphs like this:


Calling Orwell a "reactionary" and praising Celine's "mad courge" in the specific context of choosing sides during the 1930s is vile. No one should praise Celine's conduct during the war, the man collaborated with the fascists and authored numerous anti-semitic texts. Setting him up as the more brave and dignified contrast to Orwell forced me to reevaluate the entire rest of the essay and makes me feel like I can't really trust Dolan here. His sullen bitching about Hitchen's criticizing Mother Theresa doesn't inspire much confidence either.

IIRC Dolan wrote his dissertation on Celine and every so often you'll see him indignantly snorting about shallow bourgeois minds who can't get over his fascism. It's real bad but his idea seems to be that Celine was really just a nihilist edgelord, which was everything Exile-era Dolan aspired to be in life

Mark Ames recovers the early history of neoliberalism in 1920s Italy and 1930s France. From the first proposal of "neo-liberalismo" in 1921 by Fascist thought-leader Massimo Rocca, and the Mussolini regime's liberal/"neo-liberal" austerity regime; to French intellectual Louis Rougier's 1938 conference in Paris founding and branding "neoliberalism" as a new political movement.
