Principles shift quickly when money is involved

I'm kinda curious about that. Dude's wiki page says he was born in 1975...

Yeah a quick google search says the practice was pretty much over in the 1980's. I presume the guy in the video is projecting his parent's experience not his own.

I started grade school in the early 70, and finished high school in the mid 80's. Military Brat, so we moved eveyr 2 years or so. Never had a duck'n'cover drill (other than earthquake drills in California). Plenty of tornado drills in the midwest and Arizona though (retreat to the concrete halls to get away from classroom windows). And of course the usual fire drills.

No you won't.

Cognitive dissidence is strong with these folks.

Born in 1960 in Minneapolis. A lot of tornado drills, but never a duck and cover. We were close enough to realize we'd be totally f'cked in less than a minute..

Sorta interesting oped (in the NYT...) from Michelle Goldberg.

The Vibe Shifts Against the Right (archive.today)

Alex Kaschuta’s podcast, “Subversive,” used to be a node in the network between weird right-wing internet subcultures and mainstream conservatism. She hosted men’s rights activists and purveyors of “scientific” racism, neo-reactionary online personalities with handles like “Raw Egg Nationalist” and the Republican Senate candidate Blake Masters. Curtis Yarvin, a court philosopher of the MAGA movement who wants to replace democracy with techno-monarchy, appeared on the show twice. In 2022, Kaschuta spoke at the same National Conservatism conference as Ron DeSantis and Marco Rubio.

Finding progressive conventional wisdom hollow and unfulfilling, Kaschuta was attracted to the contrarian narratives and esoteric ideas of the thinkers and influencers sometimes known as the “dissident right.” They presented liberal modernity — with its emphasis on racial and gender equality, global cooperation, secularism and orderly democratic processes — as a Matrix-like illusion sustained by ideological coercion, and themselves as the holders of freedom-giving red pills.

For Kaschuta, who lives in Romania, the promise of a more authentic, organic society, freed from the hypocrisies of the existing order, was apparently inviting. “There’s always been something tantalizing about the idea that the world is not how it is presented to you,” she wrote on her blog. “A frontier opens up.”

But over the last couple of years, that frontier started seeming to her more like a dead end. Recently, she abandoned the movement. “The vibe is shifting yet again,” Kaschuta wrote on X last week. “The cumulative IQ of the right is looking worse than the market.”

Kaschuta is not alone; several people who once appeared to find transgressive right-wing ideas scintillating are having second thoughts as they watch Donald Trump’s administration put those ideas into practice.

The EU is now using burner phones and laptops for traveling to the USA, putting America on the same level for espionage as China.

"The transatlantic alliance is over," an EU official told the newspaper, which reported the commission "is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China."

[...]

"Washington is not Beijing or Moscow, but it is an adversary that is prone to use extra-legal methods to further its interests and power," Luuk van Middelaar, director of the Brussels Institute for Geopolitics think tank, told the FT.

"Democrat administrations use the same tactics. It is an acceptance of reality by the Commission."

Report: EC issues burner phones for visits to US

: That would put America on the same level as China for espionage

For the first minute or so I was thinking, "I know this motif... where did this guy lift this?" I went to The Googly, like the kids do these days, and the light bulb over my head lit up. Hilarious.

I guess ... greatness comes in many forms? Thomas Dolby has spent most of his post-fame years making a fortune creating ring tones.
