    So, it’s a reinvention of “Illuminatus!” only with added scope for anti-semitism because that’s how conspiracy theories roll this century. Cool, cool.https://twitter.com/io9/status/1295850639273099270 …

        “It’s just a joke” is the standard defense used by neo-nazis when you call them on their shit. It’s been devalued: not fit for use. Similarly: some things are no longer a joking matter. And this? Is one of them.

        I can't get the preview to load on my phone on the website, but I'm willing to give it a shot. James Tynion IV is a good writer, I really enjoyed a lot of his other comics.

        Replying to @cstross

        Illuminatus! was a really important book and I think we could use a bunch of attempts to update it for the current moment. It did a great job immunizing me against the conspiratorial urge but some parts Have Aged Poorly. Will this attempt do it right? Dunno.

        Replying to @egypturnash @cstross

        I think a lot of what made Illuminatus! work was the repeated theme of watching your own mind, whether that be via the Discordianism or the Comedy Zen or whatever. Without those subtle lessons in How To Have A Brain it’s just a bunch of toxic wankery.
