it is shocking the extent to which they openly sneer at morality

Unfortunately you have to primary everyone, not just because they don't have what it takes to fight, but because they don't have what it takes to rebuild. Last thing you want is them to win by default and then tread water until the next Trump comes to power

This actually fits right into the Republican worldview that it’s somebody else’s job (usually the liberals’) to protect them from themselves. Like I think they really do believe this

The next frontier in parking reform after minimum requirements: parking standards. How large the stalls must be, how flat the slopes must be, etc. Roomier standards essentially act as subsidies for SUVs and pickup trucks, forcing developers to accommodate them at everybody else’s expense.

Im kinda curious why parrying has caught on so much in games. It's not exactly a new innovation. What led to the explosion of action games of all genres embracing it?

I still don't think people have internalized that Clarence Thomas is a black nationalist. Also, part of the rightward swing of young POC is a turn to ethnic nationalism. Both of these things are underecognized by people who aren't the target of such messaging.

When it’s over, there will be attempts to spin an epic narrative about this. Realist IR theorists will come up with some balance of power BS, the media will try to make it some kind of operatic tragedy, etc. Resist this. It was stupid and pathetic and senseless. Don’t let them gaslight you.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

If we go back to the insight that Medieval European states were essentially protection rackets and combine that with the Silicon Valley right’s fondness for Yarvinist techno-feudalist ideology, this all starts to click together.

i know i have to tone it down for the liberals in the audience but sometimes i want to start screaming about how the only answer to the crisis of gender relations is recognizing the divine unity of masculine and feminine in one soul

you're currently living through one of the largest positive technological revolutions in modern history - solar and batteries replacing fossil fuels - and you're hearing more about chatbots because the people who run our country make money selling oil

Elon Musk has dramatically altered my class consciousness. I used to be middle class, ambidextrous bourgeois/proletariat, depending on the particular dispute; work for a living but acquire human capital to enhance my work and interests in physical capital to support my retirement. 1/

Can you imagine if, during the Afghanistan fiasco, Republicans had simply refused to comment on it, and said “Actually, COVID is the main issue on voters’ minds”? And then congratulated themselves on “not taking the bait”? Can you imagine how much better that would have been for Biden?

These people hate you. Yes you there reading this. They want your kids sick and uneducated, your country defenseless while their rich pedo friends suck up to dictators around the world. You don't hate the current GOP enough. I understand you're making a valiant effort but it's simply not possible.
