    Fastened to a Dying Animal: The Narcissistic Wound of Hobbled Imperium

    A fading empire, like a wounded narcissist facing decline, is a dangerous animal. “…fastened to a dying animal It knows not what it is; and gather me Into the artifice of eternity.” The things of the world that a narcissist cannot exploit, dominate, and control a narcissist will attempt to destroy.

  • Faking It ‘Til We Break It

    “Video showing Maduro allegedly torturing Venezuelan dissidents is going viral, with 15 million views and 81k likes already. The only problem? It is actually a scene from a movie.” This tweet from journalist Alan Macleod captured just one droplet in a flood of disinformation following the U.S. capture of Nicolás Maduro. As The Guardian noted, […]

  • Mock Strategy

    The crazy-quilt National Security Strategy released a few weeks back is a patchwork of declarations of intent, admonitions thrown at other countries and ad hominem statements of dubious validity.

    Greta Thunberg and the Merchants of Smear
