Neoreaction a Basilisk: Essays on and Around the Alt-Right

@a_h_reaume Have you read Neoreaction A Basilisk by Elizabeth Sandifer? There's a thought experiment that traces back to proponents of the so-called Dark Enlightenment... a far-right movement much, much worse than these Q clowns and whatnot. And it's funded by Peter Thiel, Elon's buddy.

The American Crisis

Thomas Paine

@RealPresleyRex @BeauTFC @MagicalTitanium In the literal sense, but "winter soldier" being itself a reference to "The American Crisis" by Thomas Paine also has a metaphorical meaning. It's in that sense I say that the title, CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, is pointing to Steve's undying duty to the idea of America. https://t.co/ik8jXNtv8c

I haven't reviewed this, but Odie has! Adapted from the Gregory McDonald novel, CONFESS, FLETCH largely possesses the cleverness of the 1985 Chevy Chase film, none of the banalities of the 1989 follow-up. https://t.co/IzOtt8WlLM

@Tazerface16 @BdBradleydunn18 @writer_sdh @itsJeffTiedrich @elonmusk Maybe. Then again, I read Plato's Republic when I was fifteen and you went to the Naval Academy so.... probably not like us when we were his age.

An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood

@educatedwoman12 @gso_orcus @NotATweeter17 @owillis To put that another way, just because Fascism was popular among certain selfish sectors of America and Europe doesn't mean that other people didn't know it was wrong. Read Neal Gabler's "An Empire of their Own." Many Jews fled Germany as early as the 1920s.
