Alt-weeklies are dead. Blogs are dead. Bootlickers and the civility police won.

The above story from The New Republic written by Alex Pareene was brought to my Twitter world by Radley Balko, superlative journalist and maybe the only self-described libertarian I’d let thrive after the Purge. In short, it discusses the recent emasculation of Deadspin and how it’s indicative of the death of the “rude press”. That is, the elimination of smaller, shall we say less respectful outlets like Splinter and Gawker, publications that would stick their fingers into they eyes of the rich and the very much richer.

And it’s not just those web-based publications’ deaths that article warns of. It’s the slow extinction of the alt-weekly or alt-monthly, all to be replaced by boutique publications that won’t be so gauche as to upset their betters. In other words, they’ll be “civil” because “civility” might be the most important thing we’re missing in this cold, cruel world.

The first writing gig I got out of college was at an alt-monthly and the only “regular job” I’ve ever had was with an alt-weekly, so I might be a bit biased on this matter. Twenty-some-odd years ago in Gainesville, FL, a pair of cats named Colin Whitworth and Mike Podalsky started MOON Magazine, maybe the altest alternative magazine that wasn’t a ‘zine that I’ve ever seen. I mostly wrote about music and Gainesville being what it was, there wasn’t much sticking-in-the-eye that needed doing.

Though I do remember them pissing of a real estate guy so badly he started his own “alt-monthly” in competition. It lasted one issue as I recall. Every afternoon at 4:20, we'd have a “staff meeting” and the magazine run pieces from severely left-wing sources going after the destruction of the Everglades or the dangers of the Cassini probe. It was that kind of magazine.

After I left Gainesville for Athens, I took up with Flagpole Magazine, a music/news/arts weekly in Michael Stipe’s hometown. Athens is a different town and publisher Pete McCommons was a different breed. An old school newspaper man contrasted to Mike and Colin’s “young upstarts”, Flagpole was a gentler poke that nevertheless contrasted well with the bought-and-owned-by-the-chamber-of-commerce local daily, The Athens Banner-Herald. He still gave a lot of room to his staff to go nuts, notably my direct editor Ballard Lesemann.

When I left college in 1997, I had already worked in actual, for real newspapers for almost a decade. Furthermore, I’d grown my hair long and discovered Hunter Thompson, so I was by no means inclined to go back to covering school board meetings for some small town weekly. MOON went the way of the dodo sometime in 2001, and though I left in 2002, Flagpole’s still kicking.

I rarely made anything close to a living at writing, but I’m thankful of my time with the alts and grateful to Colin, Mike, Pete and Ballard for letting me share the ride with them and have a little fun. So, again, grain of salt. One thing working on alternatives taught me was that “complete objectivity” was not only impossible but unnecessary so long as your cards are on the table, so I ain’t going to put no shuck on you.

Now, I won’t summarize or really explore what the above-linked New Republic piece goes into. I highly recommend it be read and considered with much gravity. Even if you don’t agree with its conclusions - or even the need for the existence of “rude journalism” - do study on what it suggests. Do we really want a world where the extremely rich, either as individuals or as a group, can shut down publications that don’t show proper fealty and people who’re willing to tell the Boss Man to take this job and shove it?

The responses to Radley’s retweet and others I’ve seen elsewhere are telling indeed, though. While there are plenty of sympathetic voices, not a few folks are saying “well, good, fuck ‘em”. There is a negative view of journalists, but if anyone suggests that it’s caused by recent events in the business are lying or stupid or ignorant or all three. For as long as there have been rich dudes willing to start wars for more wealth, there have been plenty of poor bastards willing to die for them. Nowadays, we have folks willing to pay Major League Baseball for what they used to get for free, and not even blink an eye.

A lot of it’s political. Right-wing media doesn’t have the same problems in getting funding because, well, most rich people are quite fine with the nuts and bolts of conservative thought. The economic side, anyway, which spells less taxes or regulation; the social side, they have enough pull to not have to worry about anyone griping unless they piss off someone higher up the ladder.

Which is extremely amusing, since these are the same folks who stay constantly stricken with the vapors about how much money Hillary Clinton (or Elizabeth Warren or Barrack Obama or Bernie Sanders or fill-in-the-blank-here) bring home. The “common people”, they’re saying, don’t need hoity-toity nerds who can string sentences together and count without taking off their shoes telling us that they’re favorite rich guy needs a kick in the nuts for being the type of bastard that needs kicking in the nuts on a regular basis. The hooting baboons that support digital frat houses like Barstool are happy to stick it to those PC creeps, man, rebelling in that way that hurts the actual elite not one tiny bit.

They also hate the corporate media and social media sites, which they will tell you endlessly in the comments sections of corporate medias’ pages on social media while FOX and CNN have a special on it every other week. They hate “political correctness” trying to tell them that the “natural order” isn’t just boozy white dudes watching the Pats and gorging on chicken wings, making cracks about the opposing quarterback being homosexual or making “hey-it’s-just-a-joke” jokes about Serena Williams or some WNBA playing being a “man, baby”.

There is most definitely a place for big mainstream news sources like CNN or The New York Times or TIME Magazine. A professor of my in journalism school used to repeat the quote, paraphrased from memory, that “journalism is the first rough draft of history”. Despite what the right wing has been screaming for years, whoever the president is, the big papers are rarely out for his blood. Once you become president, you are a “Washington insider” and all the corporate media really cares about is making money.

Whatever he says about the “Washington Swamp” and “fake news”, Donald Trump’s been part of that world, as is every Washington politician or media figure. FOX News is the mainstream media and the Washington Examiner has plenty of backing to keep that so. Who funds The Federalist? That publication has its place but that question must be asked. To do otherwise is to tell the powerful that you’re just fine with them running things, thank you very much.

But there needs to be a place for a small, scrappy paper speaking for the weird and shat-upon, flicking the earlobe of the rich and powerful and running ads for weekly drag shows. The dirtbag center - that’s what I’m calling the tedious middle-class bourgeoisie spawn that all voted for Trump because they hated Hillary but don’t want to admit it and were shocked as the rest of us, deal with it - wants to be kept fat and saucy while their kids joke about “learning to code” and they all grind themselves down in a miserable existence. Sticking it to the media and the elite, man, all up in the “intellectual dark web,” man, just like Peter Thiel or Bari Weiss, man.

This is one of those things that shouldn’t surprise me as much as it does, because these people are that guy who started a one-run magazine to get back at Colin and Mike for saying hurtful things about them being crooked. In America, at least, there has always, always been a group of people who will kick down for the benefit of their upper-class betters and do it with a smile on their faces. It’s why dumbass country boys went to die for slavery and why thick-necked hardhats smashed picket lines and assassinated union leaders.

Like the story notes, we all thought that blogs would be the new hotness, but that lasted just long enough for Google to deciding that “do no evil” was bad for the bottom line. People, especially wingnuts, boo-hoo about Facebook or Twitter without acknowledging or even recognizing that Mark Zuckerberg is a greedy little shit and Jack Dorsey is quite comfortable with cosplaying Nazis. Thanks to Ajit Pai’s bought-and-sold ass, Net Neutrality - about the only thing that keeps the internet from being anything other than a glorified Want Ads - is going to be that much harder to make reality.

A lot of this goes back to the “civility” thing, or lack thereof, NYT columnists bemoan whenever they get caught out being a dipstick. We’re too mean to each other, they say, we don’t know how to respect each other, they say. Rich people know how to run things better than the hoi polloi, so do sit down and be quiet like nice children. Or else.

Because here’s the thing, friends and neighbors: the rich, I mean really rich class in this country do not give a solid gold shit about you apart from how much more money they can squeeze out. Suck up to Elon Musk all you want and bemoan Bill Gates having to pay so much in taxes that he’s still a billionaire afterwards all you want. They are not going to let you on the space ship with them once they’re done fouling the waters and scouring the land.

You can cheer the death of Deadspin all you want, hoot at the firings of journalist who say bad things about Trump or the cops or Tom Brady, and general be gleeful that the media all should “learn to code” to your heart’s content. Because it won’t end there. Conglomerations are already scooping up weekly and small town dailies, shuttering the superfluous and give everyone the same story in the same tone while kissing the proper butts.

In the end, we need an antagonistic press. We need someone willing to piss off the deep pockets and old families and moneyed interests. We need someone that’ll give a voice to left-handed, bisexual, transvestite furries who love swing dancing. Or even just a little time, a slice of acknowledgement that the world isn’t just boozy obnoxious white dudes on barstools or bitter wine moms sniping on Facebook. You can cheer the downfall of such, but all you’re doing is putting the noose around your own throat and saving the Powers That Be a little time.

You may not want to rock the boat, friends and neighbors, but have no illusions. When the rubber hits the road, the Wealthy Elite will throw you over. Don’t make it easier for them.

Pete Buttigieg Hammered for Not Supporting “Glorious Gay Culture”

Proving once again that the left only cares about your “identity” insofar as you are a social justice warrior who fights for the right causes up and down the line, the LGBT community has once again turned on openly-gay Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg for being insufficiently down for the struggle. When Buttigieg’s campaign canceled a fundraiser at a gay nightclub in Rhode Island because there was a stripper pole in the venue, administrators for the Dark Lady joint (and stripper pole enthusiasts everywhere) revolted.

“We guess this is what the gay candidate does to the gay community! #downonthepoles #dancersforanyoneelse,” complained Dark Lady’s owners on Facebook. “We’re open, we’re here, we’re queer, get over it!”

LET US “get over it,” will ya?

Buttigieg’s refusal to be part of a club that featured a stripper pole also angered Steven Retchless, who holds the title of 2010 American Pole Fitness Champion. Because that’s a thing, apparently.

“The pole stigma is associated with sex work, but sex workers whether they’re on a pole or not are humans, too, and shouldn’t be discriminated against for providing a service as old as time,” Retchless told the Washington Blade. “Get over it and support the whole gay community.”

Yeah, Pete, how do you expect to win the presidency if you aren’t supportive of the (*checks notes) sex work profession and its many ancillaries?

And then we have Philip Deal, the founder of Mr. Pole Dance America, who told the Washington Blade that it was ��shameful” for Buttigieg to cancel the event.

“This points to a bigger issue in the LGBT community which is young gay people don’t know our history and that’s a serious problem. LGBTQ people died for the right to walk into a bar, dance, and hold hands with their lovers without having to fear police brutality,” Deal said. “If Pete Buttigieg does not want to embrace our glorious gay culture, he doesn’t need the gay vote.”

All of this points to one of the most despicable traits of the modern left. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about Clarence Thomas, Peter Thiel, Sarah Palin, Caitlyn Jenner, or Marco Rubio, you’re only as [insert minority identity here] as you are “woke” to the oppression your community supposedly faces. We’ll never forget how many gay publications came out to essentially kick Thiel out of the gay brotherhood when he showed up to endorse President Trump at the 2016 Republican National Convention. If you don’t walk and talk the right line, then you’re just an Uncle Tom and you might as well be a straight, white man.

Like, pole dancing? Really? The left finds the strangest hills to die on.

Photo Illustration by Sarah Rogers/The Daily Beast / Photos GettyAs many tech giants grow skittish about cashing in on the surveillance boom, one company helmed by an industry iconoclast seems custom-built for Big Brother.For Anduril Industries, scanning the California desert alongside border agents or helping drones home in on targets isn’t toxic—it isn’t even controversial. That mostly has to do with the company’s founder, Palmer Luckey. The 26-year-old is best known as the designer of the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset that shepherded the futuristic technology into the mainstream. In 2014, Luckey sold his 100-person virtual reality company to Facebook for $3 billion. Luckey was reportedly forced out of Facebook in early 2017 after The Daily Beast revealed that he was bankrolling an unofficial pro-Trump group dedicated to “shitposting” and circulating anti-Clinton memes. It only took a few months for the boyish, ever-Hawaiian shirt clad near-billionaire to launch his second act, a defense company called Anduril Industries. Prone to references to fantasy worlds and role-playing games, Luckey named his new project after a mythical sword from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Tellingly, the weapon’s other name is the “Flame of the West.” With Oculus, Luckey turned science fiction into affordable hardware. With Anduril, he’d port those innovations over into the defense sector, fusing affordable hardware and machine learning to create a border and battlefield surveillance suite that the federal government couldn’t resist. Two years ago, Anduril was little more than a placeholder website with a casting call for “dedicated, and patriotic engineers.” But with a handful of contracts in its cap and some friends in high places, Luckey’s AI-powered defense experiment has established itself as an up-and-comer in the scrum for federal business. Anduril is still small—a fraction of the size of a Lockheed or a Raytheon, say—but it has quickly grown to employ close to 100 people, moving into a 155,000-square-foot headquarters in Irvine, California, where it can comfortably double in size.And far from shying away from politics post-Facebook, Luckey leaned into the MAGA-friendly ideology—donating big money to pro-Trump outfits, and meeting with Trump cabinet officials, all while his company quietly picks up military contracts and expands its work with border patrol.In a recent Reddit thread Luckey defended his new company’s business model: “Of the things people might find divisive about me, this should be near the bottom of the list.” Palmer LuckeyAnduril/Twitter BIG BORDER BUSINESSWhen Trump’s vision of a “big, beautiful wall” ran into the costly, inefficient realities of a contiguous physical partition along the southern U.S. border, high-tech surveillance solutions emerged as a viable next best thing. In 2017, Luckey worked with Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) on cost estimates for legislation to push a virtual border wall into consideration. As part of that collaboration, Hurd introduced Luckey to a rancher in his Texas border district who agreed to let the young company test drive three of its portable sentry towers on his private land. (On Thursday, the 41-year-old tech-savvy Congressman announced that he would not seek re-election “in order to pursue opportunities… to solve problems at the nexus between technology and national security.”)Anduril bills itself as an “AI product company” specializing in hardware and software for national defense. Its hallmark product, called Lattice, is a modular surveillance setup comprising drones, “Lattice Sensor Towers,” and software that autonomously identifies potential targets. As it demonstrated in two live pilot programs at the U.S. Southern border last year, the system can detect a human presence and push alerts to Customs and Border Protection agents in real time.Now, the company is expanding its reach. Anduril is currently working on a new pilot program with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to test “cold weather variations” of its high-tech surveillance system capable of running reliably outside the hot, dry climate of states along the U.S. border with Mexico. That program consists of two limited trials, one in Vermont and one in Montana. The pilots were pursued by the agency’s innovation team, which explores new technologies for guarding U.S. borders and will “determine the efficacy and applicability of the technology to northern border challenges,” according to CBP. While the northern U.S. border sees far less activity outside of designated border crossing sites, it does span some terrain even more remote and challenging than the arid stretches that line the southwest states. The U.S.-Mexico border makes headlines for its divisive role in American immigration policy, but the line dividing the U.S. and Canada is actually five times as long. Anduril may also be shopping its technology to the other side of the border. In May, Luckey represented Anduril at a Toronto event advertised as part of an official trade delegation to Canada. When asked if Anduril’s business in Canada was purely aspirational or actually in the works, the company declined to comment. Anduril’s border work was previously limited to a CBP pilot near San Diego and some unofficial testing at a private ranch outside of El Paso. The San Diego program began with only four towers in the agency’s San Diego Sector and over time expanded over time to 14. Now, with the pilot program successfully ended, those 14 towers remain operational. The company has also turned its unofficial deployment in Texas into a formal relationship. The agency recently bought 18 additional Anduril-made towers and plans to deploy them later this year. That installation is not part of a pilot program. “Like any company, CBP’s future relationship with Anduril will be subject to fair and open competition, the company’s ability to deliver relevant technology, available funding, and a variety of other factors,” CBP told The Daily Beast.Beyond its border-watching sentry towers, Anduril also makes its own heli-drone, a sort of miniaturized helicopter that can stay airborne for long periods. Those drones, known as Lattice Ghosts, are capable of stealth flight and flying in formation over large swaths of land or sea for anything from “anti-cartel operations to stealth observation.”An Anduril sentry tower with one of the company's heli-dronesAnduril GAMER GOD GOES TO WASHINGTON Anduril is a curious company to have grown out of the West Coast tech scene—and a sign of the times. Luckey might still refuse to wear closed-toed shoes, but he’s reinvented himself within Anduril’s hyper-patriotic, veteran-friendly image. Luckey has smartly made efforts to surround himself with serious military types who blend in with the close-cropped national security crowd. The company has quickly built its operation out in Washington D.C., recruiting former Senate Armed Services Committee staff director Christian Brose late last year to serve as the company’s head of strategy. As the Intercept previously reported, that hire helped get Anduril into the National Armaments Consortium, a nonprofit that connects defense companies with military contracts.“The company’s existed a year, and they already have systems that have been built and fielded right now,” Brose told Defense News around the time of his hiring. “This isn’t the classic play, ‘Give us billions of dollars and 10 years, and we’ll promise we’ll build you something.’ They have developed systems, and they’re going out and solving problems with them.”Anduril also picked up Scott Sanders, a former intelligence and special operations officer for the Marine Corps, to lead operations. By late 2018, Sanders was demoing Anduril’s hardware and software surveillance system for Marines at Camp Pendleton. Less than a year later, the company sealed the deal on a $13.5 million contract with the Marine Corps to secure bases in Japan, Arizona, and Hawaii, surrounding each with a “virtual ‘digital fortress.’” With two co-founders from Oculus and four from Palantir, tech’s biggest defense success story, Anduril’s early hires have been key to its quick expansion. One of those was Trae Stephens, a former Palantir engineer and current partner at Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, who joined Trump’s transition team through Thiel.AndurilAnduril’s leadership represents a blend of political leanings, even if Palmer Luckey’s politics are quite a bit louder. The company’s co-founder and COO Matt Grimm in particular is an active Democratic donor, with donations to Hillary Clinton, Beto O’Rourke, ActBlue, and Pete Buttigieg’s presidential campaign more recently. Co-founder and CEO Brian Schimpf donates to Democrats, too, including Henry Cuellar, a co-sponsor of Hurd’s SMART Wall Act bill in late 2018. Christian Brose represents the traditional Republican wing within the company, having worked under the late Sen. John McCain. Given his work with Trump and Thiel, Stephens has shown a willingness to work with leaders whose politics are more closely aligned with Luckey’s own. Next to Thiel, Luckey is probably Trump’s most high-profile booster in the tech world, even if he was excommunicated from its mainstream. SIX DEGREES OF TRUMPLuckey has described himself as “fiscally conservative, pro-freedom, little-L libertarian, and big-R Republican.” Regularly donning wigs and candy-colored anime garb, Luckey might be the only military contractor who’s active on the cosplay circuit. Reportedly a longtime Trump fan, converted after reading The Art of The Deal, Luckey donated $100,000 to Trump’s inaugural committee. He was spotted last month at a Trump 2020 fundraiser put on by Donald Trump Jr. and his girlfriend, former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle. While his political choices and some of his company may have previously placed him outside of Silicon Valley’s establishment politics—the Trump administration’s embrace of fringey, irreverent far-right idealogues helpfully opened some doors. In 2017, for example, Luckey discussed his border wall tech with Trump’s Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke in a face-to-face partially arranged by Chuck C. Johnson, a former Breitbart reporter who was permanently banned from Twitter for threatening to “take out” Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson. During Anduril’s earliest days, Luckey also met with former Trump strategist and Breitbart editor Steve Bannon, another figure from the political edges who found his way to the center in 2016. Luckey, described as a “proud nationalist” by former Oculus friend John Carmack, has evoked ominous language with echoes of Trump’s own on the issue of the border.“If I could wave a magic wand, the United States would have perfect border security and arms wide open to everyone who believes in American values,” Luckey said in a tweet. “Murderous gangs that terrorize communities across North America don’t fit the bill, and I hope we can erase them from existence.”Luckey added that his views are “mainstream libertarian as it gets” and that in spite of his business in border security he is “a big fan of immigration.” In any online scrap over Anduril’s border business, he’s quick to draw a distinction between the concept of “border security” and policies around immigration that shape realities—and technologies—at the U.S. border.While his departure from Facebook also coincided with the end of the Zenimax trial, in which the Oculus founder defended himself against allegations that his virtual reality empire was built on stolen trade secrets, Luckey’s tendency to live his right-leaning, irreverent politics out loud within Facebook’s tepidly liberal leadership culture led to the events that made the axe come down.“I contributed $10,000 to Nimble America because I thought the organization had fresh ideas on how to communicate with young voters,” Luckey said in a Facebook post at the time, claiming that he actually planned to cast his vote for Gary Johnson. The Wall Street Journal later reported that Luckey’s public support for the third-party candidate was a facet of Facebook’s PR strategy foisted on him by executives at the company. TECH UNDER THE MICROSCOPEThe tide of public opinion has turned against the tech industry in recent years. After the revelations of Russian interference in the 2016 election and a concurrent wave of heightened sensitivity for privacy, the sector is no longer viewed as an optimistic hub filling the near-future with consequence-free innovation.That shift in public perception coupled with new activist energy within the tech workforce means that tech companies are facing a new level of scrutiny on their government defense deals, when previously they might have guiltlessly enjoyed federal cash infusions. Those deals have also grown out of the government’s increased comfort with maturing tech companies capable of handling sensitive contracts and jumping through certification hoops. When Google came under fire and backed away from the Pentagon’s controversial Project Maven contract, developing AI that can help drones autonomously home in on potential targets, Anduril stepped in. Amazon stayed the course under similar pressure, batting away internal dissent about the Pentagon’s whopping $10 billion cloud computing project for Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, better known as “JEDI.”After Microsoft landed a $480 million Army contract for its HoloLens augmented reality goggles late last year, a cluster of Microsoft employees protested. “While the company has previously licensed tech to the U.S. military, it has never crossed the line into weapons development,” they wrote. “With this contract, it does.”Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella defended the work in an interview with CNN. “We made a principled decision that we’re not going to withhold technology from institutions that we have elected in democracies to protect the freedoms we enjoy,” Nadella said.Last month, Luckey spelled out Anduril’s own uncomplicated attitude toward military work in an interview with CNBC. “What I am glad of is that Microsoft and Amazon are both willing to do this contract in the first place. There’s a lot of U.S. tech companies that have been pulling out on the D.O.D,” Luckey said. He went on to criticize Google for withdrawing from Pentagon’s $10 billion JEDI contract over internal backlash around ethical concerns.“I’m mostly just glad that Amazon and Microsoft are still in there fighting this… they are willing to work with the military,” Luckey said. “I think we could use a lot more of that and I would love to see even more companies in the mix.”With a president shredding his office’s long-held traditions while obsessing over slowing immigration to a trickle, maybe it’s no surprise that a boyish gamer demi-god in a Hawaiian shirt could reinvent himself as a serious security contractor keen to lock down borders around the world.In June, Anduril entered into a relationship with the UK Royal Navy through its NavyX tech accelerator. “The artificial intelligence and [intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance] systems from Anduril are game changing technologies for the Royal Marines Future Commando Force,” Royal Navy Chief Technology Officer Dan Cheesman said.Recently, Luckey has hinted at the company’s interest in deploying its border surveillance system to the Irish border, where Brexit has reignited historical tensions along what would become the only land border between the UK and the EU. A soldier tries the company's VR system for controlling its hardware AndurilAnduril believes that its technology is modular and versatile enough t0 be applied well beyond the military sector. While its AI-powered towers have mostly been implemented to secure borders, the company is in conversation about providing tech to other industries, like securing power grids and oil and gas facilities.What’s more, the company has signaled its interest in applying its AR and VR expertise to “real-time battlefield awareness for soldiers”— a chance it might get after landing a piece of the drone-centric Project Maven contract. The company is also interested in providing tech to aid soldiers on the ground. “Imagine if the Nazis had been the first people to make practical nuclear weapons. Imagine if the Russians had been the first people to make practical nuclear weapons,” Luckey told CNBC last month. If America’s top scientists and technologists steered clear of that technology due to ethical concerns, Luckey argued that we’d be in “a very different world today.”“It would not be the world that we’re in right now—and it would be a lot worse.”Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.
