Maybe I'm being naive here, but I kind of had the impression OnlyFans content was the sort of thing where physical location doesn't play much of a role? Do they really "go on tour" with that stuff these days? Sell out venues for the live act?
For a different professor, there's Dr. Bob Altemeyer, who wrote a book in 2006 (after 40 years of research) that includes a section on evidence-based deradicalisation[0] of authoritarian followers, pp240-245: https://theauthoritarians.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/The... (for objections, see [1])
That's nonfiction, and anachronistic. As far as fiction in the correct setting goes, I'm drawing a blank, and I even had to read things like "At the Bridge" and "The Tin Drum" in school (as well as watch dokus like "The White Rose" and "Triumph of the Will"[2]).
Most stories I know are of the unrepentant[3]; maybe I can dig some repentant ones up later?
You too may be a big hero
Once you've learned to count backwards to zero
"In German, und Englisch, I know how to count down
Und 我学习中文!" says Wernher von Braun
EDIT: (haven't been using that Gemini, sorry)
Schwarzenegger's neighbours retreated into the bottle[4]:
Ps: Repentance is one of the things that sell better as science fiction.. (Linebarger?)
Not to be dismissive, just "providing" another perspective while I take a walk to think about that:
In the other bidirection..
If Steve and Ive grokked each others' Jobs..
(You could complete the couplet but I may or may not recommend it)
Edit: Atticus would have been more convincing (to me) if he was more ex-Confederate officer and less Mary Sue
Ps2: deprogramming (ie something that could be applied to Scott Locklin.. I have read his Optiksy takes while thinking about his quasiracist ones.. & tentatively conclude that the Buxton [e: dissonance] angle^W ansatz is in the realm of.. plausibility)
Ps3: there's the Peenemuende slave Labor museum^W monument. Compare German (P/Tin Drum) and Japanese (??? sporadic priests^W Buddhist chaplains I guess) tatemae?
Ps4: maybe one could leave it up to American initiative/dynamism* to uncover more of these living [prep]aradoxes.. I highly doubt it could scale (even after defocusing from ORs)
U: not chaplain-trainee in question but a sizeable pctage of the paradoxes do seem to come from the upper middle/lower upper (more than directly explicated by Linebarger)
Not: Magpie* regurgitation of mixed Confucianist/Supply side precepts
Yes, there is a nuclear base very close to Scotland's biggest city. Greenland has had NATO early warning systems for nuclear strikes on Canada and the USA. I don't know whether Greenland would count as a target or not, but several places in Scotland are major targets including Faslane.
(Attempt at applicability:) how "compradores"[0] can provide superior[1] Pastoral Care to , eg, ICE-chimps[2] after having said chimps realise their old bosses, comrades, even their own "archaic needs", have been betraying them all along [3]
[0] "sellers", as in PH of his "foxwork"?
[1] superior in the sense that the welfare will be bespoke but proportional to the struggle and schlep put in by the chimp on his guided path to salvation
[2] we are all part of the chimp troupe, though some may cosplay at foxes. So that wasn't meant to be derogatory
[3] guess this is the "(psychological) warfare" part of this 2 part process.
Sorry for the contrived example. Trying to surf the sync!
Recommendations for tales of how historical (actual, WWII) Nazi bullies got a payout in such futuristic pastoral care? (Part1 or 2)
Quotes from the aforementioned books that precede the above welcome too! (I'm guessing mostly for Part1 if any, but UKL might have covered some of Part2)
Ps: is it me, or has Gemini been giving markedly less useful results this past week?
The left ("authoritarian" or not) is currently better at getting outraged (bottom, "delicatus"/"pasivo"?), and the right is better at trolling (top-- "activo"(?))
(This was the unambiguous Roman ideology I was maybe hinting at ..so you know Scott Locklin is indeed "non authoritarian" just like he claims
I basically picked the book because of this, and because wakipedia said it was the world’s most offensively misogynistic series of novels (all four novels were in this book). I was disappointed in this;
Note that here he applies the incorrect strategy -->
)
Long before we get to selfdeprogramming, mutual reprogramming looks like the left trolling the right, and the right learning how to get outraged.
Thus.. tips from homophilic role-switching ex-Nazis (leather lovin' fans of Rome long before the SV-neocon detente)?
FWIW Wadge and Ashcroft tried a similar cache the world approach and ran into issues, but that was half a century ago, when storage was way more expensive...
When my wife picked up her replacement passport, they had a scanning machine in the waiting room so you could check the NFC details before leaving the premises. (it also happily told me what my blue one reported over NFC)
