Unscientific Random Sample

Overheard at the gym locker room: "Did you see what those sick fucks are doing to those Teslas? Dude, I'm tempted to go buy a Tesla and sit in the bushes waiting with my rifle. I would so love to have them come try to mess with it." Pause. "So what truck did you bring today, the Chevy or the Ford?" "Chevy." Young working class dudes itching for some action, lot of tough talk about antifa, etc..but who knows? They might pull the trigger.The irony is Andreas Malm's call for sabotage against SUV's ( not "eco-friendly EVs") but these are the times we live in, the "morbid sysmptoms" as Gramsci called them. It can't properly be called a backlash to Trumps "greenlash" ie.. dismantling EPA, drill baby drill, etc...Just more post-post-modern incoherence and ideological rubble. I agree with Danny Bessner, co-host of American Prestige (along with Derek Davison) and Hingepoints (with Matt Christman), that we are looking at what Marx called "the common ruin of the competing classes". No one is getting out of this unscathed. I would be curious to know how many underground militias are operating here in the American Readout (Montana and Idaho). I watch these young guys working out in front of the big mirrors, admiring their musculature, their beefiness. Dreams of protecting virgin maidens swirling through their tiny brains. Like in the good old Clint Eastwood Bruce Willis days of angry manhood. I mentioned the anxious foreign policy establishment in the last post but some of the fossil Fuel Majors are nervous as well. They had a whole public relations campaign going on about how they were responsible partners in conservation and research and innovation yada yada while they raked in record profits. Now they have to kiss the MAGA ring, go back to Chinese hoax, not a good look. They loved the Obama/Biden "all of the above" strategy with its hydrogen hubs and battery plants and Direct Air Capture subsidies. All investments de-risked by the U.S. taxpayer and lots of profit on the back end. Now all of that is too "woke".
