No. I'm sorry, I know we need a big tent or a popular front or whatever you want to call it, but jimmy concepts doesn't get to be a part of it. If he's genuinely recognized the error of his ways, he can atone by shutting the fuck up forever

In these cases there is a method available to restore one’s honor en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seppuku...
There's no way he's truly recognized the error of his ways imo
Oh, absolutely. Like @maxkennerly.bsky.social said, he sees which way the winds are blowing and is trying to escape being caught up in the coming denazification
Y'all saw part 2 where Yarvin is courting him right? bsky.app/profile/carl...
I've known who Yarvin is for awhile now, but I've never actually read anything he's done because why bother reading nazi fuckheads? YEEESH is he a fucking loser, I was not prepared for the sheer depths of stupidity and utter lameness he presents, what a fucking dweeb (derogatory.)
Maybe if we're lucky they'll end up fighting and leave no survivors
A girl can dream
Amen. Bill Kristol aside, most of these hotdog suit enthusiasts are just trying to apologize so we have to keep listening to them. If they truly wished to make amends, they should renounce the spotlight for those who were, you know, right the whole time.
Kristol still belongs in an Iraqi prison, I’m afraid.
Hard to argue with that one.
Kristol spent years being wrong about everything and doing immense harm, but he's always been consistent and honest about his beliefs. I may not be happy to have him in the tent, but I don't doubt the sincerity of his face turn. There's no reason to give Lindsay or Hanania the benefit of the doubt
His Twitter handle is still "anti-Communist," which does not give me great confidence that he has seen the error of his ways.
Even if I took him at his word that he's not a Nazi, he just let himself be used by them and now realizes that's bad (and I don't) a declaration of needing to repent is not enough. His words and views were useful for Nazis. If he's truly sorry, he needs to change his whole worldview.
Pick up a hobby Jimmy. Go crochet or something and never say another word about politics
Let's not get too hasty, I'm sure that James, in an act of utmost contrition and love for those people he had put down for years, would be most willing to be put in the front lines of as many protests as he can be, especially as the temperature rises.
But not enough to change his handle from anti-communist to anti-fascist. Even though he supposedly now understands fascism is a real threat to us all while communism realistically has less than 1% representation in our government.
I haven’t been following him, but “real Nazis on the shadowy global stage” has a real whiff of “Globalists”.
Love too say "Nazis" when referring to Jews
That's sort of how I read it, since the real Nazis right now are not bothering hide in the shadows
The International Democracy Union have been facilitating the sharing of authoritarian notes and coordinating of strategies across the globe for some time now. I don't know this person or if he knows of the IDU, but there very much is a global fascist movement. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...
Yeah, I'm sure you won't be surprised to hear that most of his schtick has always boiled down to essentially "secret cabals of Judeo-Bolsheviks run the world"
hard to imagine how the nazis thought they could use him, guess we’ll never know
Some mysteries are just beyond human comprehension
There is no place in society anywhere for these fucking ghouls, ever.
What about their audiences? Should we cancel them too?
Have they stoned?
Stoned whom?
Atoned. Fucking auto fill.
Ah, yes, that is the question. If they have, then we can all be at one again. Let's keep striving for wholesomeness!
Literally! Just shut the fuck up forever and we’re even!
He sucks and under no circumstances do you have to hand it to him, but every person with a platform who uses it against the incipient Trump dictatorship is a win for the cause of preserving American freedom and democracy. Once we win, he can STFU forever.
OK, but he still doesn't have to be in the tent. He can use his platform from outside of it. He does not have to be considered an *ally* in the fight. The Enemy of my Enemy is my Enemy's Enemy, no more, no less.
I’m also ok with him parading around wearing a giant placard that reads, “DON’T BE LIKE ME.”
I would however like 5,000 words from him explictly interrogating *why* he was OK with letting Nazis use him for so long, and what he intends to do about it.
As long as it's the last thing he ever writes for public consumption
To be clear, I don’t expect him to arrive at any kind of genuine self-analysis via the process, it would just be an interesting thought experiment watching him attempt to write around making the obvious admission to himself.
Oh, agreed
An easy choice for me - no reason to listen to any dumdum who "repents-of" anything.
Fuck these fuckers
If you don't have at least an infantry company's worth of guys ready to go whenever, you don't get to defect and immediately expect a leadership position
Yes, forgiveness requires more than admission of guilt. It requires restitution to be anything more than a windy insurance policy.
They can help by voting and being quiet.
The “anti-communist” presumably just wants to be offered the money of liberals in his pursuit of being a sweaty waste of space
Nobody wants to shut the fuck up forever, no matter how wrong they were or how ashamed they should be. They want to flog a goddamned book about it.
OMG, yes. Lindsay is among the LAST ones we should trust right now.
Remember when there was that list of "30 intelligent conservatives to follow on Twitter" or whatever the fissured hog anus that was
the popular front doesn't need collaborators
