Oh wow, I really like that David Schraub piece. That's very, very good.
I really like both what he says and how he says it.
"No ideology is immune from having assholes as adherents. Moreover, people who are assholes can and will express their assholery in the argot of their ideology. So a conservative asshole will use conservative rhetoric and language to effectuate being an asshole, while a socialist asshole will use socialist rhetoric and language. Ditto liberals, ditto centrists, ditto nationalists, ditto anyone. Nothing about the ideology will stop them from doing so, and certainly do not believe your ideology is an exception."
And the tetrahedral kites are marvelous. I'm imagining spatch must have tweeted them? If so I'll retweet.
He just sent me the link, I'm afraid. I see no reason why you shouldn't tweet the kites, though!
