a “fun” game i like to play is when i encounter an anarchist writer i’m not familiar with is to search for the author plus age of consent/majority/adulthood/etc. this pretty reliably brings up a good reason to disregard their entire body of work.

youtube makes a lot of money off of nazi(-adjacent) content. it’s a core part of their business model at this point

our possessions tie us to our past, and it’s to our benefit to choose those ties carefully. how does having those big troves of things you will never look at again make you feel?

ah yes, the “i don’t want you to know how much this is astroturfed” protests, against the “we want to know how much astroturf is there” law.

“you can maybe criticize our ally, but only if you give an equal amount of time, or maybe a bit more, to criticizing their enemies”

i mean, the way the supreme court has operated historically (and especially in the last few years) means they can delete basically any law they don’t like, but you are correct that the decriminalisation of homosexuality is only based on a court verdict. many states never removed the relevant laws from their books, so they could in theory be enforced again if the court changes their precedent.

here’s a citation for the factual inaccuracy presented there: https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/demographics-us-military

racial minorities are slightly over represented among the enlisted in total, but they are definitely far from the majority, and statistically less likely to be among the poorest.

that said, we should try not to vilify individual service members without specific cause (i.e. that particular person saying reactionary shit), just as a matter of practicality. we have enough enemies as is.
