  • You can definitely tell we had the second highest KKK population outside of Indiana. Even in the more progressive areas that made it a 2016/2020 Bernie state, Loveland was a sundown town until the 1970s. Their town signs used to read “Welcome to Loveland - Elev. 5000 - Nationally Famous Sweetheart Town - Won’t You Stay Awhile - Industrial Opportunities - Diversified Agriculture. We observe the Jim Crow Laws here.” There’s an entire town near there that’s known for its Nazi church, which is somehow more explicit than Loveland’s God’s Country Cowboy Church. Which is somehow not the only Country Cowboy Church.

    It’s fun to hike through the specific area where it was discovered. You can see where the cattle ranches, farms, suburbs, and eventually survivalist homesteads concentrated the elk/deer into such a small and disconnected area. With the bear/wolf/mountain lion populations all but eradicated in the same process, there’s no check on their populations outside of hunting which is prohibitively expensive. It’s one of those places that really instilled my eco-Marxism.














  • I think it’s a new level of simulacrum, at least for my youtube feed of various Guys.

    1st level - our perception/representation of space objects

    2nd level - those ancient global astrological traditions where they have some real sociocultural function for a specific group, but the functions and logic differ group to group

    3rd level - new age western astrology that mashes all of those together into semantic algebra while still pretending it’s sacred in some meaningful religious way

    4th - stripping any pretense of sacredness away from that to make it a geopolitics youtube gimmick alongside AI images of crystals and vaguely mythological/scifi things, distilled nonsense slop.

    Maybe there’s a whole community of it that I only just now poisoned my algorithm enough to see, but this is the first Scary China Picture Video I’ve seen which mashes up these specific things in an internally-coherent way. Every other Geopolitics Guy on my youtube feed who wants to differentiate himself just wears a suit in their bedroom. This is like the first time I saw Qanon, within a few days of it appearing on reddit, and thought it was neat that so many toxic trends were converging into one thing meant to hypnotise a stupid person.
