#im-1776

[tomorrowusa]

Far right ideologues, like DeSantis buddy Chris Rufo, like to refer to themselves as the "dissident right". That is a euphemism to hide their true anti-constitutional pro-dictatorship nature.

Chris Rufo, a rightwing culture-war celebrity and close Ron DeSantis ally, has maintained a close relationship with IM-1776, a “dissident right” magazine that regularly showers praise on dictators and authoritarians, puffs racist ideologues, and attacks liberal democracy. The outlet’s editors and writers – many of them so-called “anons” working under pseudonyms – have variously advocated for the repeal of the Civil Rights Act; celebrated figures such as the “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski and the proto-fascist Italian nationalist Gabriele D’Annunzio; and advanced conspiracy theories about the Covid pandemic, and what they term the “regime”, a leftist power structure that they imagine unites the state, large corporations, universities and the media.

Rufo and his cohorts are working to muddy the difference between themselves and the less extreme right.

Last month a “manifesto” written by Rufo – The New Right Activism – ran in the online and print versions of IM-1776, and Rufo has publicly urged his audience to buy and subscribe to the outlet. He has also co-hosted a series of Twitter spaces with the magazine’s editors, beginning in July last year. In one of them, recorded in October, he indicated an interest in incorporating the “dissident right” more fully in mainstream political discourse, saying: “I think there is a room for engaging the dissident right and the establishment right. I think we need to have a bridge between the two and and engage in thoughtful dialogue.” More recently, he has expressed a personal interest in expanding the range of acceptable political discourse. On the Pirate Wires podcast earlier this month, he told host Mike Solana of his own activism: “I try to play that game, I try to lay traps, I try to provoke certain reactions, I try to launder certain words and phrases into the discourse.”

Rufo's rag IM-1776 glorifies domestic terrorists.

Last June, IM-1776 published an obituary of Ted Kaczynski by another pseudonymous author calling themselves “The Prudentialist”. Kaczynski died in a federal prison last year at the conclusion of a life sentence he received for a 17-year mailbombing campaign that killed three of his targets and injured 23 others. Describing Kaczynski as “allegedly a lone wolf terrorist, but also a mathematical genius”, the IM-1776 author relativized his crimes and explained that Kaczynski’s “iconic status on the contemporary right can be partly attributed to the devastating critique of the left included in his famous manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future”.

The Republican Party is now the Trump MAGA Party. It refuses to call out extremists and is cozy with foreign dictators like Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orbán. Permitting Republicans to gain power puts the country under the control of the anti-constitutional "dissident right" who advocate Red Caesarism.

The ONLY way to defeat Republicans/MAGA/the "dissident right"/Red Caesarism is to vote Democratic. Any talk from the third party curious about impotent minor party candidates should get an instant reality check; the last presidential election won by a non-Democrat or non-Republican was in 1848.

oh my god.

it's here!! In honor of my (late) birthday my sister ordered me a copy of 1776 from 1970! (WOWW!!) and it came today!! I've never been more happy to own something. The pages are yellow and the cover is torn but I honestly feel like it adds character. I will say though this isn't my oldest book. I own this super cool one from 1930-something. But that's besides the point! I'm now going to show off the book.

Honestly Rutledge looks so sweaty throughout 1776 (and within good reason because they had a WHOLE SONG about how hot it was) BUT

I have to realize that it’s probably because he was getting all hot and bothered under the collar for Lyman Hall….😮‍💨

I have listened to nothing except sweeney todd, les miserables and 1776 for the last 2 weeks i am miserable

hope ur night is going well! what’s the quality like on the hazbin songs? like how consistently good are they in terms of listenability and also narrative and emotional beats?

So like. Disclaimer that i am not really into musicals actually. I like a few but like im not actually into musicals as a genre so my touchstones here are limited. That being said, a few of the Hazbin songs have gotten into my head and I have been listening to them! I really like the songs in episode 4 especially

Ive seen comments from people who are more into musicals saying they really like the songs. Tbh for me its more about the song fitting the story and tell us about the characters more than if the song is my type or not because, again, im not into musicals or musical style songs really. But every song fits in well and makes the scene its in work better. There arent any songs that feel like they dont belong, and im never like, disappointed when a song starts. Its exciting to see the visuals and how expressive the characters and the voice actors are.

Personally episode 1s songs are probably my personal least favorite, but going from there its been so fun. The cast is brilliant as well so the singing is great. Its somewhere between stage-style (correct for a musical) and more "proper" singing, which is really interesting structually to me. (When it comes to music i am more into like. How the voice is singing? I used to sing a lot myself so i approach from a like. Technical angle sometimes, esp for musicals, if that make sense haha)

I sort of rambled but i hoped i answered your question! I really liked 'Loser Baby' and 'Poison', theyre my favorite songs so far.

On one hand yeah it's true like wtf do we talk about if there are kids unaware of the cold war or Vietnam or Korea or Iraq (etc etc...) But also like on the other hand we have a huge party including it's normal every day constituents who have an explicit platform to Lie about American history and explicitly say they want to delete certain events from history, and they receive support for it. We have always been at war with eastasia indeed.
