Что было бы, если бы я заинтересовался правым мировоззрением не 20-25 лет назад (в тени совсем недавно рухнувшего советского проекта) — а сейчас, в совершенно другом мире?

В 2005-ом мне очень нравились идеи о компактной государственной машине, низких налогах, доверии общества к институтам, решение проблем через заключение осознанных и исполнимых контрактов и решение конфликтов в суде. В общем, в те годы в мире правых идей (во всяком случае в той его части в которую у меня был доступ) интерес вызывали либертарианские идеи и минархизм.

Потом уже до меня дошло что рыночные механизмы — предназначены для решения именно экономических проблем, политика или тем более гуманитарные вопросы — по определению им перпендикулярны и незначимы, но сейчас не о том разговор.

Представим что мое знакомство с правыми идеями происходило бы сейчас.

Что я услышу сейчас от условного правого спикера? Про то что все проблемы от мигрантов и леваков? Что это не суд обладает властью в разрешении споров, а указ Главного Начальника? Что право силы, что в международной политике, что в решении местных проблем — это альфа и омега?

Означает ли это что сторонники либерального рынка исчезли? Нет, просто главную скрипку играют совсем не они.

Собственно, это видно даже по моим тогдашним знакомым из той же тусовки: они и сейчас вроде бы те же либертарианцы, только почему-то все разговоры теперь не про рыночные механизмы, а про политическую борьбу с левыми и засилье мигрантов.

Может быть поэтому снижение налогов и фискальная дисциплина кажутся даже не скучными, а откровенно проигрышными электоральными лозунгами. Вот выдворение мигрантов, вот тарифы и силовая борьба с другими участниками международных отношений — это да, это перспективно.

Но и это еще не дно кроличьей норы. Где-то там, за спинами трампов и фараджей маячат их политические консультанты и творцы дискурса, все это Темное просвещение и криптотехнобро.

И то что эти люди генерируют в качестве своего видения нашего общего будущего на этом шарике грязи — выглядит откровенно пугающе.

Корпоративное государство, великий вождь, урожденная элита, правящая по праву богатства и происхождения. Эта фашистская техноутопия выглядит сейчас нереалистичной — но насколько реалистичным выглядело 20 лет тому назад происходящее в сегодняшнем мире?

Today, video footage of the whole incident shot by the shooter emerged. We are now beyond "I can shoot someone in broad daylight and get away with it" territory. We are at "I can shoot someone in the head in broad daylight, film it, broadcast it to the world and still get away with it."

I just completed day 4 of the Foundation Light series on Darebee. I did not set out to exercise. I saw a post on tumblr. I got curious and clicked over. I decided to give a day a try because it looked easy. Then I left the tab open.

The page has checkboxes for each day that you can click.

...so why not do day 2?

On day 3, I was like 'I could stop now. One of these days will be the day I stop doing darebee exercises, but not today.'

And today, I did the same.

Am I going to keep this up for the full 30 days of this series? Probably not! I'm terrible at maintaing things.

But...the exercises are easy. I can do them in normal clothes and flats. They don't take a long time. I do Level II. If I ever have a lot of energy, I'll try Level 3. If I'm ever low on energy, I'll do Level 1. I get to check off each day as I go. While I've not used them yet, the series page has embedded timers.

When I don't feel like I have to carve out special time and wear special clothes and watch videos to make sure I'm doing it all right, it is rather easier to do anything.

(In other news, dishes continue being done nightly. I've completed 2 badges (1 badge = 4 weeks of nightly dishes). Once I reach 10 badges, I get something special. Now figuring out 'something special' was tricky because I've learned rewards don't work if they require work. So, instead, I've created a line item in my budget. Every week, I drop in $10. When I reach 10 badges, I will get to empty that line item for whatever I want. It should be about $400, which is a good prize. And $10/week doesn't feel like work or a hard cost at all.)

Being telepathic, the creatures had not developed the legal language of contracts, but that did not mean their help came with only a vague promise of mutual aid. Their representative handed her a blank page and a palette of paints. She was expected to paint a scene representative of their agreement, each brushstroke as complex as a well-placed Latin phrase and as binding as a signature.

In "ice is slippy" news, I have managed to bruise both my hips in hard falls this week: the left one at hockey camp earlier this week, the right at Warbirds tonight.

For preference, I sleep curled up on one side.

Ow.

Create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts.

Things That Are Free

Icons My doll photos are all on Flickr and I would love icons of any/all of them because I post about them a lot

Community participation Come join us at thankfulthursday (weekly gratitude community), fandomocweekly (writing prompts focused on original characters in fandom stories), fanmix_monthly (mixtapes, fannish or otherwise, with optional monthly challenges) and/or allkindsofdolls (exactly what it sounds like)

Things That Cost (Me) Money

Dolls (Old BJD) I couldn't afford these dolls when they were available to buy and now they're almost impossible to find. I'm not asking for one for free (but I also wouldn't say "no"!) but if you have one for sale, please send me a message!

Since my LJ crew disappeared from blogging ages ago and I don't know anyone on here, I see who comments on the posts by people I follow and if they look interesting, I subscribe. I usually grant access, too, because most of my posts are access-only (a bit safer that way).

So HI if you see me on your list. :)

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Sebastian Stan will be playing Harvey Dent in The Batman: Part II.

Bucky jokes aside I think this is great casting.

The 1960’s through 1980’s saw so many popular anthologies and compendiums of vampire lore—often assembling pop culture, folklore, classic literature, psychology, and occultism together—that I have no memory now of where I encountered this story.

Content advisory: blood ingestion; colonialism; racism; ableism, eugenics, and medical abuse in a footnote link. ( Continue. )

If I can track down the book, that might give me a lead as to who originated it (and what their assumptions and agenda might be.)

В Коста-Рике варят своё собственное пиво -- и в массовом порядке, и в мелких пивоварнях. Основные массовые костариканские сорта называются Imperial, Pilsen и Bavaria.

We made it through the first week of January. This is enough to get an early glimpse of progress with New Year's resolutions. It's also malleable enough to make changes. Watch for the parallel check in post over on

goals_on_dw. Its busy season is December-January, with weekly check-in posts for January, then monthly after that.

Hot take but I think echo chambers are fine, actually. Like, have you ever actually been in one? They’re super fun; yelling into the void and having it yell back. Endless wonder and joy. At least mine is. If yours sucks sounds like a you problem. Maybe you should stop screaming obnoxious hateful things into it idk just a thought I had, hey.
