Black Rifle only sells coffee, brewing equipment, and branded clothing, but has still managed to carve a valued niche in the online gun world. But that position was put at risk in late 2020, when the company quickly issued a public statement distancing itself from Rittenhouse, triggering condemnation from hardened segments of the online gun community. Many decamped to Stocking Mill Coffee, an “even more extreme brand,” according to Noel. “Coffee became this bizarre stomping ground of infighting,” he says. Stocking Mill, named for a Revolutionary War site, proudly bears a motto of “Arrive violently…but first…coffee.” The company has been endorsed by the Proud Boys, a neo-fascist group with extensive ties to white nationalists, and it has defended Rittenhouse, claiming that he “exercised” his second amendment rights against “domestic terrorists.” The boost the company says it got after embracing Rittenhouse was so large that it claimed it had to hire seven new employees to meet demand largely driven by an exodus from Black Rifle. That Black Rifle was so quickly abandoned by a segment of its customers helps illustrate how the same buyers had been using their purchases as a conservative culture war tool, a way to fight against a queer and feminist-friendly liberal aesthetic that they see as encroaching and increasingly un-American. Before they were disappointed, with a bag of Black Rifle’s coffee, they felt like they could still be a gun-loving patriot and have good coffee without handing over money to some limp-handshake hipster wimp at some local roaster or politically correct mega-conglomerate. Black Rifle made the point itself: On its Facebook page in 2015, it posted a shooting range target with a bearded, glasses-wearing, bow-tied man in the crosshairs, describing him as a lover or purveyor of “hipster, anti-gun coffee.” There are other brands that play on masculinity and militarism in similar ways. Online retailers sell manly engagement rings. Mission BBQ is a chain restaurant that goes out of its way to infuse barbecue with a patriotic and veteran-driven aesthetic, in case you had any doubts about its inherent Americanness.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Haitian President Jovenel Moïse announced Sunday that police have arrested more than 20 people he accused of trying to kill him and overthrow his government, including a Supreme Court judge who has the support of opposition leaders demanding that Moïse step down. Moïse spoke at Haiti’s airport in Port-au-Prince, flanked by the country’s prime minister and the police chief as he prepared to leave for the southern coastal town of Jacmel for the opening ceremony of its yearly carnival, which is being held amid the pandemic. “There was an attempt on my life,” he said. Moïse said the alleged plot began Nov. 20 but did not provide further details or any evidence except to say among the people arrested is a judge and an inspector general with the police. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Joseph Joute said authorities found several weapons and a speech that Supreme Court Judge Yvickel Dabrézil had allegedly prepared if he were to become provisional president. Dabrézil is one of three judges that the opposition favors as a potential transitional president.

Perhaps one of the most influential cultural critics of recent years, Mark Fisher, spent much of his work bemoaning the state of late capitalism and it’s insidious effect on contemporary culture. To Fisher this had culminated in what he called a ‘cancellation of the future’. Capitalism, and the culture industries had re-used and re-branded cultural elements of the past to such an extent that they had started to make the creation of something truly new feel almost impossible. In his 2014 book, Ghosts of My Life, Fisher wrote: “It is the contention of this book that 21st-century culture is marked by … anachronism and inertia … But this stasis has been buried, interred behind a superficial frenzy of ‘newness’, of perpetual movement. The ‘jumbling up of time’, the montaging of earlier eras, has ceased to be worthy of comment; it is now so prevalent that is no longer even noticed.”

Michael Goldhaber is the internet prophet you’ve never heard of. Here’s a short list of things he saw coming: the complete dominance of the internet, increased shamelessness in politics, terrorists co-opting social media, the rise of reality television, personal websites, oversharing, personal essay, fandoms and online influencer culture — along with the near destruction of our ability to focus. Most of this came to him in the mid-1980s, when Mr. Goldhaber, a former theoretical physicist, had a revelation. He was obsessed at the time with what he felt was an information glut — that there was simply more access to news, opinion and forms of entertainment than one could handle. His epiphany was this: One of the most finite resources in the world is human attention. To describe its scarcity, he latched onto what was then an obscure term, coined by a psychologist, Herbert A. Simon: “the attention economy.”

If ever there was a sign the United States was losing control of information warfare, of its own warriors, it was the moment one of its own, a young American contractor, saw first lady Michelle Obama’s emails pop up on his screen. For months, David Evenden, a former National Security Agency analyst, questioned what he was doing in Abu Dhabi. He, like two dozen other N.S.A. analysts and contractors, had been lured to the United Arab Emirates by a boutique Beltway contractor with offers to double, even quadruple, their salaries and promises of a tax-free lifestyle in the Gulf’s luxury playground. The work would be the same as it had been at the agency, they were told, just on behalf of a close ally. It was all a natural extension of America’s War on Terror. Mr. Evenden started tracking terror cells in the Gulf. This was 2014, ISIS had just laid siege to Mosul and Tikrit and Mr. Evenden tracked its members as they switched out burner phones and messaging apps. The images they traded back and forth could be brutal, but this was his calling, Mr. Evenden told himself. A theology major, he’d set out to be a chaplain. He was a long way from that, but what better way to prove your faith, he thought, than hunting those who sought to murder good Christians. Soon, though, he was assigned to a new project: proving the Emiratis’ neighbor, Qatar, was funding the Muslim Brotherhood. The only way to do that, Mr. Evenden told his bosses, would be to hack Qatar. “Go for it,” they told him. No matter that Qatar was also an American ally or that, once inside its networks, his bosses showed no interest in ever getting out. Before long his team at the contractor, CyberPoint, was hacking Emirati enemies, real and perceived, all over the world: Soccer officials at FIFA, the monarchy’s Twitter critics, and especially Qatari royals. They wanted to know where they were flying, who they were meeting, what they were saying. This too was part of the mission, Mr. Evenden was told; it had all been cleared up high. In the War on Terror and the cyber arms market, you could rationalize just about anything.
