The American ideal is good. All created equal, certain inalienable rights, consent of the governed. When America has in practice failed to live up to that ideal, or even acted against it, *that* is bad; not the ideal.

So the Supreme Court’s strategy seems pretty clearly to be forestall admitting we have a constitutional crisis by giving Trump huge victories on narrow procedural grounds. This is akin to having engineers move the Rubicon River closer and closer to Rome to avoid Caesar crossing it.

by the way the best "material conditions" explanation for Trump is the one that literally no one wants to touch: young people and people of color got much wealthier under Biden and quickly adopted post-material fascist politics as a result

I've been complaining about the abusive culture of the online left for like six years and my politics haven't budged. My political commitments are about what I believe, not who I'm friends with

it really does seem like the primary threat of AI ended up not being AI itself but the effect of believing in AI as an ideological concept
