@EricLevitz We hear the perfect distillation of the 15 years of underground rock that preceded the album and a preview of the 15 years that would come after it. CRCR is safe. S&E is idiosyncratic and challenging. Plus they captured lightning in a bottle with Young's drumming.

Diplomatic legacy: 🇺🇸US ambs Robert White (under Carter) & Clyde Taylor (under Reagan) supported democracy against dictatorship in 🇵🇾Paraguay. Taylor was teargassed!

Today, we need bipartisan support for democracy against gangsters in 🇵🇾

@2suns2moons The irony being that it also has one of the most entrenched party structures of any "democracy" on the planet. I've never been to any supposedly free country where people are as subjected to the arbitrary whims of politicians. These people are only insulated by their money.

@BenjaminFogel Somebody needs to do a digital ethnography of their social media posts/forums. Wild stuff going on there. An insane blend of "globalism" discourse, crypto stupidity, and incel misogyny alongside the occasional practical question about where to buy peanut butter.

@Ollie_Vargas_ But it hasn't fallen in Paraguay. The true mafioso consolidated his control over the Colorado Party.

@sunraysunray @steeplymast @alex_shephard All for calling out misinterpretations of Gramsci, but isn't the flipside of the question how reactionary intellectuals were able to prevent agrarian class contradictions from turning into a unified movement in southern Italy? Not unlike what he describes.

@Hip_Fire1 @bloggingsbyboz This is not a victory for the left, at least not yet. Alliana represents the party's worst tendencies.

@Hip_Fire1 @bloggingsbyboz If the ANR had let him walk they risked having a large part of the country turn on them, including some of the "hurreros" who currently prop them up.

@BenjaminFogel Horrible news for everyday Paraguayans. Justice for all the Brazilian scum who crossed the border because of "political persecution" and dumped their money in UENO.
