  • For a more nuanced discussion of this topic, please see my friend Bjarne Knausgarde’s blog “Notes From Disgraceland.” There, he discusses:

    The political subject of late fascism is an updated version of the old one. The industrial worker- citizen, the authorized emblem of post-utopian depoliticized post-war modernity, now appears in the guise of the forgotten men, the non-synchronous people of the political present[10]. He encapsulates the virtues of petro-masculinity: A patriarchal, weapon-carrying and 2 amendment-worshipping male, defined by manufacturing, motoring, his tie to fossil fuel presents a particularly uncomfortable configuration in the light of climate change and urgency for reducing or eliminating dependency on conventional energy sources, which creates an urgency to imagine a new barricaded lebensraum for the heteronormative family protected from the deviant other, which bundles together economic, geopolitical, religious, racial, and genital into a comprehensive crisis of order and allows fascism to emerge as a candidate for its restoration.

    Dude … did you really just pull a Dunning/Kruger, in a post about Dunning/Kruger 😂 Do you understand the definition of irony? I literally pulled it from a page titled “Side view of a healthy human brain.” But you, joe “reply guy” are the smart one.

    You’re probs too dumb to feel embarrassed for yourself.

    Wrong. Skepticism is doubt as to the truth of something. Cynicism is an inclination to believe that people are motivated purely by self-interest. Look it up, reply guy.

    And in the future, when the tag on a meme indicates a lawyer created it? Probs best you err to caution on what words mean. I maxed out the verbal component on the LSAT.
