US liberals talk about protecting democracy a lot but they seem to revile it in practice. the idea that a politician should ever be required to do anything to win votes, rather than simply represent an amorphously 'good' or 'bad' team, is treated as some sick heresy

saw a post saying the hiroshima bomb was necessary to end the war, feel again obliged to point out that it was not. what they actually mean to say is 'to end the war with japan accepting an unconditional surrender,' something which is also not true but at least more arguable

I don't want my fridge to have a camera or Wi-Fi. I don't want my dishwasher to be smart. I don't want my washing machine to text me. In fact, I kinda miss knobs and dials and knowing big appliances would last 20 years and could still be repaired.

We gotta reject “Well, RFK jr. is right about some things” and accept “if we don’t confront the real problems with our systems, it becomes much easier for con artists like this guy to manipulate people.”

this urge to launder rfk jr. as “just a guy who is right about a few things” is such a perfect example of how liberals are people who won’t take their own side in a fight

Say what you want about his alleged killing of that CEO, but Luigi Mangione being so photogenic that it’s near impossible to publish a bad photo of him is so funny. Can you imagine a Batman villain that’s so good looking people are like “he can have a little murder, as a treat”?

Luigi Magione has terrorist charges against him. Terrorism - Intending to intimidate or coerce a civilian population. Intimidate a unite of government or government policies by violence and murder. I feel that definition applies much more to CEOs of healthcare companies.

"Terrorism" is a socially constructed term. If Luigi murdered a homeless Black man, the US would call him a hero. If he killed poor/sick Americans every day via insurance policy, they'd say "what about his family?" What’s happening is disgusting & anyone with a brain sees right through it

This is a really good series (from what I’ve listened to) so far. I’ve been to going through it slowly and in small doses, as it brings me back to my own really difficult and traumatic times dealing with the subject matter. Definitely worth listening.
