Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

Jordan Peterson is another example of what I call a competency cosplayer. Informed people immediately identity him as an intellectual fraud, but uninformed people can fancy him an intellectual who flatters their unexamined prejudices.

In case it’s not explained well in US news, the chainsaw is one of Milei’s bits. Notice how it’s got the snake on the Gadsden flag 🙄 yellow & black because he’s an ancap asshat

Si llaman “gentrificación” a cualquier actividad hecha por un extranjero en Costa Rica, nada es gentrificación. Una vez más el activismo de redes está alimentando la gasolina xenofobica que termina afectando a las comunidades más vulnerables.

Mucho ojo con esto. Panamá ya ha estado recibiendo personas deportadas de Asia Central (Irán, China, Afganistán) que EEUU no puede enviar directamente a sus países de origen. En muchos casos la vida de estas personas corre peligro si regresan.

¿Qué animes son explícitamente políticos? Ósea tienen claros ejes temáticos alrededor de política en vez de solo psicológicos o filosóficos. Rurouni Kenshin, Shingeki no Kyojin, Gundam, Ghost in the Shell, Shinsekai Yori, Psychopass. Siento que hay pocos.

Besides being wildly racist, it’s worth noting that Donald Trump just disproved the basic hypothesis of the Great Replacement conspiracy theory by increasing his hispanic voter share in 2024. Hispanics are not and will never be a unified voting bloc (despite the GOP’s best efforts to alienate them).

In this novel I'm reading, a cultural anthropology professor quits and becomes a stockbroker/investment consultant; that sounds like quite a extreme career change.

Trump's flood-the-zone strategy might make us feel otherwise, but democratic backsliding typically occurs gradually. Due to the resistance of opposition elite and public, aspiring autocrats face backlash. The bottom line is that Erdoğan, Orbán, and Chávez did not get rid of democracy in four weeks.

I know Stathis. He was a colleague of mine at the University of Chicago. He is a pretty buttoned-down scholar. For him to tweet this out is… something.
