Manufactured outrage is the dark art of turning low-frequency events into high-intensity consensus.
Manufactured outrage is the dark art of turning low-frequency events into high-intensity consensus. You take something real but statistically rare, remove context, widen definitions, and repeat it until it feels ambient—like it could happen anywhere, anytime. Fear does the rest. …

Manufactured outrage is political fuel. Amplify rare horrors, strip context, spike fear, then trade panic for power—new laws, fewer rights, tighter control. Left or right, same playbook: curate the threat, inflame the crowd, then “solve” it by moving the goalposts.

What started as shitposting has turned into a kind of accidental field study.
What started as shitposting has turned into a kind of accidental field study. By posting across Facebook, Threads, Instagram, and beyond, I’m no longer just talking to the same familiar circle. I’m pulling in responses from people I would never encounter in my day-to-day life in …

I started shitposting and accidentally built a social experiment. Pulling in voices from Facebook, Threads, IG—people way outside my Arlington bubble. I used to delete posts; now I let them ride. Monetization weirdly made me braver.

TIL: I’m 56 and this just clicked today. I always thought the white nationalist milk obsession was just about the color white. It never occurred to me it ties to lactose intolerance in people from outside Northern Europe. Once I saw that, it actually made sense. Duh.

From Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar to Donald Trump: The Belief That God Uses Powerful, Disruptive Figures as Vessels of His Will
There is a deeply mystical thread running through scripture: God acts in history through vessels He appoints, and those vessels are not bound by human expectations of goodness, refinement, or even mercy. The Old Testament especially is filled with moments where divine will moves …
-
Scripture shows God raising vessels of power—Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus—to accomplish His will in ways beyond human judgment. In that same mystical frame, Donald Trump can be seen not as a moral figure but as a vessel moved by God for purposes not yet fully revealed.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 11,45-56
45 Many of the Jews who had come to Mary and seen what Jesus had done began to believe in him. 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we going to do? …

Exoticism is the tendency to view cultures outside one’s own as strange, alluring, or fundamentally “other,” reducing them to aesthetic or symbolic objects. It romanticizes difference while flattening complexity, often reflecting more about the observer’s gaze than the reality of the people observed

“Exceptio probat regulam in casibus non exceptis” = “the exception proves the rule in cases not excepted.” Often attributed to Cicero, though the exact origin is debated. The modern cliché is “the exception proves the rule,” usually misunderstood.

America really sucks at being authoritarian.
America really sucks at being an authoritarian state. People talk stink about Trump all the time and they’re not thrown in jail. People go ahead and spit in the face of armored and weaponized people in the streets and don’t get shot in the face. America is the worst …
