      1. camestrosfelapton: I’ve ants on the brain and thought you were trying to make a termite pun there

        I wish I was feeling clever enough right now to have made that pun. 😉


    1. Or rather, “They had the temerity to mention me.” After all, the supposed Guardian hit piece that Larry Correia is still whining about more than three years on was Damien Walter calling him a little known author. Which he absolutely is, in Europe where Baen books are hard to come by.

  1. And then it’s only a short step from “my opponents are coordinating against me” to “…and Soros* is paying them.”

      1. It says something that it’s impossible to satirise this stuff quick enough before it becomes reality.


  2. Meanwhile, on the reality-based plane…. April 2015 was a tough month that brought real losses and deaths to a lot of families …
    (including those in the Nepal earthquake and the sinking of several large migrant boats off the coast of Libya).

    This trip down memory lane reminded me of the scorn I felt toward KP and her grotesque use of the “disappeared” metaphor to describe a rich publicity hound losing a book contract through his own writing incompetence and non-viability as a commercial prospect — as though it wasn’t the right-wing extremist juntas who disappeared tens of thousands of youths across Latin America in the 1970s and into the 1980s. They lack any sense of historical proportion or general discursive appropriateness. (note: this comment did not require the use of childish name calling or ridiculous acronyms)

    I bought myself a gigantic bunch of deep red roses today and handed paper money and gave smiles to all homeless folk I encountered and sent an email of complaint to the Alaskan judicial oversight folks re: that appalling judgement last week. One might say it was a co-ordinated attack on malaise and feelings of helplessness?

  3. Well it comes back to this again, doesn’t it:

    Especially this quote:

    “It’s important to understand that going back to the French Revolution (blamed on the Illuminati & Masons) the right has always preferred to see radical political change as a result of conspiracies rather than caused by large social forces & democratic mobilization…If they acknowledged change came from mass mobilization of groups with grievances (workers, women, POC) then they’d have to acknowledge real grievances. So instead of acknowledging politics based on mobilization against real problems (economic injustice, patriarchy, racism, imperialism) the preferred theory is to blame some small group of eggheads (Illuminati, Masons, Fabians, Frankfurt School, Soros, etc).”

    And also coordinated media “attacks,” i.e. media coverage of what’s actually going on and been said by them publicly.

    This is also relevant:

    1. Ah, the Fabians. Prolific self-publishers, they were. Yet somehow, they got no respect. Must have been due to a co-ordinated anarchist attack.

  4. I had a friend in high school who, whenever someone would talk about how “they” were doing something, would reply “But not Them. That’s giant ants.” It took me years to find out what he was talking about….

  5. THEM reminds me of MANT!* the film-within-the-seriously underrated film “Matinee”. Watch it if you’ve never seen it. John Goodman is superb as a tricksy character, and even the teenagers aren’t annoying.

    *actually the other way around, on purpose


    1. Those bits of “Mant!” are some of the funniest scenes I’ve ever watched. John Goodman is basically playing William Castle, producer of movies such as “13 Ghosts” and”The House on Haunted Hill”.


      1. Yes, which makes it delightful if you know the history, and it’s still wacky fun if you don’t. The gimmicks are reminiscent of Castle’s “The Tingler”. And the casting of people who actually were in those old movies helps too.

        IIRC, the video releases of the movie had all of the “Mant!” clips in sequential order so you could see them as a short film. Which hangs together.


  6. I have an alternate theory for Larry and all his Right-leaning friends. It goes like this:
    If all of a sudden many hundreds of different people spontaneously decide that you’re an asshole, it’s probably based on the fact that you are, indeed an asshole. You should govern yourself accordingly.

    Of course, Larry and his Right-leaning friends cannot allow themselves to admit this fact.
