and a bunch of men cosplaying with guns inside a school for a photo op tells you everything you need to know about why the US had more gunfire on school grounds last year than ever before, and guns are now the leading cause of death for children in America.

But Scott Galloway gets to keep his name relevant, pushing absolute bullshit, and I'm sure some company is now rushing to pay him tens of thousands of dollars to give a speech about this nonsense. I am perplexed as to how anyone takes him seriously for anything.

It's also incredibly annoying that the guy who thinks he has all the solutions to harms he sees online apparently doesn't bother to seek out experts, or bother to think through the many harms we ALREADY KNOW his "solution" will cause.

It's really galling. Galloway is an extremely wealthy guy who runs around selling books, giving paid speeches on stuff he has NEVER come close to understanding, and the many, many people who do the real work (often for little pay and no fanfare) have to deal with this stuff.

Hi! I am a former Facebook engineer who has worked on security, privacy safety and compliance issues for 30+ years. Inhibiting anonymity / obligating use of real names, does little to inhibit abuse, but it DOES boost disenfranchisement & censorship of the poor & less able.

You mean you support a system that would promote and benefit affluent people like you and me, who trade on our names publicly, and deter people from being mean to us, while simultaneously making life more dangerous for powerless people and making them less able to speak freely?

Much truth here, especially about journalism's lack of -- resistance to -- introspection and self-criticism.

The big media-twitter debate this week has been whether or not it's ok to criticize one specific reporter. It went kinda like this: She normalizes! She has scoops! She makes self-serving deals with sources! She has a LOT of scoops! But, there is a deeper issue. 1/

Will Cain just compared the cancelation of completing the Keystone XL pipeline with an illegal act of war. Fox News has NO EVIDENCE that the U.S. military sabotaged the Nord Stream pipeline yet they continue to seemingly defend Russia.

Everyone is a small government libertarian until a hurricane hits you. Being a nation means looking out for each other, not just for yourself. If you voted against FEMA, feel free to refuse aid….

5/Americans and Europeans should orient themselves towards these bigger historical frames. As has been noted, Putin’s talking points are the same as MAGA or Orban or Bolsonaro’s. It’s all one thing. These are the roots. Study them.

1/MAGA is a mix of Eurasianism and Russian Cosmism, and uses religions, cults, and military/intelligence networks as instruments to achieve its goals. I strongly recommend folks read chapters 1 and 5 of this book, but the whole book is useful.

13/And on the topic of QAnon, it too is rooted in the Eurasianist and Cosmist milieu. Drawing from Protocols and other conspiracy traditions, it’s an instrument for aligning a population against liberal democracy and to restore hierarchy. Same goal as Eurasianism.
