Natsec folks we are coming back
Back in 2017, I joked with someone who had been in NatSec about all the old NatSec farts who had AOL accounts that were being hacked.
Bolton still had his AOL account 4 years after that.

Waking up from a nap to find I've activated a weird niche of Bluesky natsec posters who are VERY defensive of the meme format they plagiarized from 2019 era Telegram Nazis
dear wannabe leftists, propaganda is actually good if you want to win elections or a class war. every communist since vladimir ilyich has been aware of that.
Oh dear god are libs doing the fashwave aesthetic now

Thinking about this more because I've followed a lot of the mil/natsec posters here in the past year knowing that *I* know very little about that stuff, especially re: Iran.
And (obviously, in retrospect) they're mostly logistics/bureaucracy guys very annoyed with the war cowboy weirdos.

It's also worth pointing out that one reason folks are so inclined to ape Nazi meme formats and specifically Nazi propaganda meme formats is that they are created to evoke a sense of hyperviolent masculinity.
It doesn't shock me that mil/natsec posters are especially attracted to that, but...

Love it when antifascists say "please don't ape known Nazi aesthetics, this is how Nazis insert Nazi shit into the mainstream undetected" and get "antifascists are scared little babies" in response.
A lot of us have gone toe to toe with these fuckers in real life, actually. Take a breath and learn

1. a Vogue magazine cover from 1942 depicting Columbia, a personification of the U.S., after Pearl Harbor
2. the moon landing,
3. the flag raising at Iwo Jima, and
4. MLK at the March on Washington.
It’s okay to say that you’re unfamiliar with an iconic image

Turning on my phone after a nap to find Bluesky natsec dweebs in my mentions doing battle with tankies over whether it's effective to repurpose a Nazi meme format, then use it to white knight for NATO

Why didn’t you win Afghanistan quickly, or at all?
Your own NatSec advisor, Gen HR McMaster, called your resolution of Afghanistan a U.S. surrender.

My sincere belief is we'll have one fairly large conservative party centered on suburban whites. The leadership will be business and natsec conservatives, but they'll face a bunch of weird state and regional 3rd parties representing different factions of the Christian Right and anti-immigrant groups

Anyways, since I should pivot back to natsec/FP related posts to avoid the eye of Sauron (TradCaths mad about Malfoid on Twitter), may I remind you of the music video that former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn was in? (as well as a former Pussycat)

I found an EXCELLENT bioinformatics job to throw in an application for, and then I realized it was a company doing biosurveillance for defense and natsec and was backed by Peter Thiel.

Possibly some of them but as best I can tell these are mostly guys from the natsec/military nerd wing of Bluesky.
Which I'm not even maligning per se, I follow some folks from there for insight, but come on now guys this is not your field of expertise

I want Reconstruction 2.0.
I want the voices to resound, who were pushed out of US NatSec for telling the world 'the real problem is Christofascist domestic terrorists'.
I want all the civil servants, mostly Black women, who lost their jobs to DOGE, to be rehired with back pay. AND ELON PAYS IT.

It’s the same reason they keep propping up all these conservatives who turned on Trump. Yes let’s reward his former press secretary and natsec advisers, they’re gonna give us the secret intel. It’s the same bullshit Dick Morris sells on the right.
