#qotd "by all accounts, he was a good man. Now let me tell you why Dwight D Eisenhower decided he needed to die"
When I see Jack O'Brien is the guest on #BehindTheBastards, I know we're in for a good week
@Lazarou I don't think so, but it's a very commonly held misconception.
I'm listening to the Behind the Bastards Portland episodes right now to refresh on tactics and such instead of watching the live stream right now.

#behindTheBastards is a great podcast.
**Carl Schmitt: The Mind Behind Modern Fascism**
[quote from Part 2]
❝The maintenance of every border implies violence. And this is both physical borders like the border between us in Mexico, and like what you're seeing right now with the attempt to legislate like what counts as a woman, with all these anti-trans things. Both of those borders are maintained by men with guns, with violence. There's the threat of violence behind building every one of those borders. If you cross this border, or at least cross it in the wrong way, force will be used against you. Every democracy does this, and it does this not just in terms of who can enter the country, but who gets to vote.
[...]
. . . because what you do as the reactionary is you find that border wherever it exists, and you start pushing inward. And as you start pushing inward from that border, you will start fracturing the democratic consensus that exists until you can destroy democracy. And that's how you gain power as a reactionary movement within a liberal That's how you destroy liberalism. You find the border that they placed and you start pushing inwards. That's what Carl realizes, and that's what he lays out, and it works today as well as it did back then.❞
Well said, @jamesbritt
#behindTheBastards aired an interesting piece recently on how the US regime is hewing closely to the playbook of Carl Schmitt for dismantling a liberal democracy. Fascinating stuff.
QOTD: he's doing a Scientology
Oh shit, it's another btb episode when I know people who have intimate knowledge of the bastardry involved and sure hope I don't hear a name I recognize.
#BehindTheBastards did a two-parter on this asshole.

They also have two episodes cackling as they read through his terrible novels.
That moment in old btb episodes when Robert says, "oh, yeah, strap in!"
#qotd there's no ideology here, just a hot guy and not pooping in a toilet.
A Gen Z cult? All in!
(changing my view from "cult obsessed weirdo" to "cults are a special interest" has been freeing and also, why cults?)
You know it's going to be good when Robert Evans says one of his signature catch phrases. My favorite is "and this is when they take to the seas". The episode I'm currently listening to "and this is when it gets racist as fuuuuuuuuck".

#BehindTheBastards covers The Zizians, #Rationalists, and the increasingly bizarre belief systems out of the tech community that are fertile grounds for culty behavior.

#qotd I remember joy. It's been replaced by occasional sleep.
TFW Robert Evans talks about an event you have personal knowledge of.
(my aunt was a leader at the Washington Ethical Society when all those mens group events were going on)
@clanger9
I learned about it on the #BehindTheBastards series on him. I can tell you he never faced any real consequences for any of his crap.
