@GrageDustin Wow.

Just for context here (because the clip is long) this is the part Dustin is describing with Renee dancing to the horn and blocking traffic.

@MsMelChen @RealKeriSmith Proxy states just like the money laundering NGOs - plausible deniability

[Melissa Chen @MsMelChen]

The internationalist centrist boomer takes are out and as expected, they're furious about the "illegal action" against Maduro and spouting on about international law, saying this gives a green light to the likes of Putin and Xi to attack other countries with impunity.

My sweet sweet summer child. One can simply just post the spider man pointing to spider man gif and be done with it.

Because international law is kaput. Those who have been paying attention know that we have been at war for YEARS, just not the kind you read about in history textbooks.

These are not industrial scale wars with armies but non-state actors locked in low-boil proxy struggles and hybrid campaigns that span the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. These militias, insurgent groups, terrorist organizations, and proxy forces operate with the covert backing, funding, or direction from powerful states who provide them with plausible deniability.

This allows sponsoring states to pursue geopolitical goals - territorial influence, resource control, or ideological dominance - without risking direct confrontation or full-scale war. And believe me, they've been pursuing it.

The idea that Trump's actions will give Putin a pretext to annex territory (lol) or Xi permission to say, seize Taiwan, is LAUGHABLE. They don't need permission and never did. They act on their own accord, and on their own timeline.

@vanikehuman @captive_dreamer He sounded great yesterday

Genuine, speaking not like a patrician or politician

Direct language, phrasing, word choice, colloquialisms

Bro has authenticity and trusting rizz

@captive_dreamer I had no idea he had it in him

He is killing it

[Tony Moon @RoofKorean7]

Hahahahahahahahahahhahaha
What's so beautiful about Maduro's capture is that the Chinese absolutely 'lost face' (respect, honor, dignity). Looked like absolute and complete fools.

All of Asia is laughing at them and they know it.

I like coining terms for things. I think it can help to organize thinking about a subject.

Bureausclerosis

noun
Pronunciation: /ˌbjʊəˈroʊˌsklɪəˌroʊsɪs/ (BYUR-oh-sklair-OH-sis)
Plural: bureauscleroses

Definition

A pathological accumulation of bureaucratic rules, procedures, and administrative layers that impedes organizational effectiveness, adaptability, and decision-making. It ultimately causes institutions to function more slowly and less competently than they would with fewer formal controls.

Etymology

From bureau (French: "desk; administrative office") + -sclerosis (Greek: sklērōsis, "hardening"), by analogy with medical conditions involving progressive stiffening or loss of functional flexibility in biological systems. Related to: Eurosclerosis.

Description

Bureausclerosis occurs when bureaucratic structures evolve beyond their original coordinating or accountability-enhancing purpose and instead become self-reinforcing obstacles to action. The condition is characterized by excessive process formalization, rule proliferation, procedural inertia, and risk-avoidant compliance behavior, often resulting in delayed decisions, misaligned incentives, and institutional paralysis.

Bureausclerosis is indicated by rule accretion, a preference for process over outcomes, increasing decision latency, adaptation failure, and defensive administration, whereby actors optimize for blame avoidance rather than the effectiveness of the organization.

Distinction From Related Concepts

- Bureaucracy: A neutral or potentially beneficial system of administrative organization, not an inherently slow system, and indeed, often a means to accelerate operations, build operational capacities, allow and promote coordination, and so on.
- Red Tape: Specific, unnecessary, duplicative procedures.
- Bureausclerosis: A systemic, chronic condition in which bureaucracy itself becomes the binding constraint on perforamnce.

Example Usage

"The agency's inability to respond to the crisis was not deu to lack of resources or missing expertise, but to an advanced case of bureausclerosis that made rapid coordination impossible."

Note

Bureausclerosis is most likely to affect large, long-lived institutions that operate under systems of asymmetric accountability, wherein inaction has diffuse, delayed costs, but procedural deviations lead to immediate, personal penalties.

2020. Chuck Schumer criticizes Trump for not bringing an end to the Maduro regime.

Schumer: "The President brags about his Venezuela policy? Give us a break. He hasn't brought an end to the Maduro regime."
