    Haha *click*

    Immediately dropped into ongoing estate crises. Your staff hasn’t been paid in months. An angry groundskeeper has set fire to the stables. A nearby parish seeks restitution for damage to its roof. You apparently have relatives with expensive vices whose debtors won’t leave you alone. The clerk insists that the novelty title company you speak of does not exist and your peerage is duly confirmed.

    E: Everyone keeps reminding you that you must produce an heir. Suitors hang on the bell, each of them somehow more hideous than the last.


  • Not OP, but they’re right that successful collective action requires a modicum of focus and prioritization – i.e., a spam filter – and it’s especially important for negative headlines since they can easily demoralize, frighten, and even paralyze would-be activists.

    It’s an insidious problem for online leftism because too many of us labor exclusively within an activist paradigm of amplification, advocacy, and awareness that excels at igniting a fire of vigilance within people without proffering action to which they might apply it, other than “spread the word.”

    That leads to an emotionally exhausting, unproductive churn of frustration and negativity which slowly poisons the activist with anxiety, panic, and despair.

    TLDR: Unmeasured vigilance disrupts action, and vigilance without action is worse than oblivion.


  • I hate to sound this clueless when others here seem to know, but I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction re: “stormbringer” and its WS association, because all I’m finding in search is the name of a sword in an old fantasy series that doesn’t appear to be a NatC favorite or otherwise associated with WS ideas.

    I’m familiar with “stormtroopers” (the fictional Star Wars Imp infantry and historical Nazi soldiers), “stormfront” (the WS website and the WS villain from The Boys) but figured the nominal format of storm-____ wasn’t necessarily WS (at least, I can think of a few counterexamples).

    So is “stormbringer” a dog whistle or something?




  • They can’t unless your entire system is compromised.

    That research paper was a POC using kernel access and the models used were calibrated to specific subjects in a particular setting. Replicating it for anyone anywhere would require much, much more sophisticated models and that the target has given you root.
