For the last month, according to Coinbase's charts

If anyone else was flirting with going bigger, I just put in $500 to bitcoin, plus the $60 I started with, and its up to $617 now. I can keep reporting on it, if anyone else is interested or wants to invest vicariously.

One profoundly wishful conclusion that isn;t entirely lacking reason is that white supremacy is now effectively ideologically against Yeah thats what just suck in for me. Like the momentum has officially drifted into some extreme fringe. edit: as opposed to retaining even some illusory support...

Like how can that be explained in a way that doesn;t register to people as academic?

There was actually a field correspondent for FOX, a white guy, who got hounded by black trump supporters, calling him a liar. Go figure.

Yeah this event promises to embolden anti-trumpists to be less reserved and more outspoken about their feelings toward him. Like you don't need to respect an insurrectionary provocateur in order to preserve your political reputation, even if said provocateur is the president whom you have been...

Anti-growth (although perhaps not necessarily nationalistic?) might be a position assumed against globalism, once globalism is more defined, once it sediments into the common sense.

Thats actually a wonderful goal. I'm on board.

A Fox News reporter just said that impassioned folks are speaking of this as a revolution, but without much elaboration. he mentioned someone demanding the establishment of a third party. Which would support the point made upthread, that Trumpism is now de factor facto severed from the...

I had in mind family values, the role of the father as standard-setter, and the marginal situation of voices who don;t meet those standards.

Most optimistically, it could mean the end of culturally/socially reactive governmental momentum. I think the recoil will be in the favor of whatever momentum already possessed by globalist-friendly parties. Edit: and that optimism is confined to the US, for now, as far as I can tell. And still...

I thought this too. This could be the crux point where Trump supporters can, beyond reasonable doubt, be treated as national threats. It likely gives figures who already hated Trump plausible legal authority to crack down.

One of the major commenting points is the whole "These are images we see in rising nations, not here" stupor. Disavowel. edit: expressed by CNN, Fox and MSNBC alike, as far as I can tell. Although to be honestly they all blur together at this point.

Yeah there is something viscerally implausible that something like this can just happen, without some internal cooperation, so swiftly and with such little resistance.

Yeah, and I think of this condoning takes place within that window of discretion that official figures reserve. Which is almost necessarily out of the reach of policy. Theres always that window.

Yeah thats what I was wondering earlier. Seems like a coup would require some number of figures with institutional power to capitulate or otherwise hop over the fence. And I really don;t know how likely that is, or how feasible it is to plan something like that.

Nationalist extremists can also operate rhizomatically, especially when you factor in the libertarian elements. Its just paradoxical, because nationalism is traditionally centralized, no?

But to an extent the testosterone is spread relatively evenly, which is largely the flavor of this particular fuel. A sort of vigilante militia that that can effectively operationalize without central guidance. Just needed the go-ahead from Trump. In that sense, its easy for Trump to abdicate...

Yeah I missed that, and thats why I think that window of discretion is critical. Especially when you factor in racial divides.

But those guards, as anyone endowed with politically substantiated power, reserve some decision-making power to their own discretion, when in some overwhelming experience like this. If someone in such a position harbors sympathy for the protestors/invaders - even if its not enough to override...
