Edward Saïd: As we look back at the cultural archive, we begin to reread it not univocally but contrapuntally…
Me: "Anybody can have the harmony, if they will leave us the counterpoint."

Such a perfect example of what we all give up when we refuse to address basic inequalities. I don't want to live in a country where all the public space is militarized to keep hungry people from stealing food, just give them money to buy food!

This is largely it. It didn't matter what Dems said or pushed. The GOP? Trump drove the narrative of what the Dems were supposedly "emphasizing", often claiming it was things they never ever supported. Meanwhile things like Project 2025 were often dismissed as Dems being hysterical

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.

The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

the party now cared more about climate change and various academic fixations than cheap energy and good-paying jobs.

Det er for lite mangfold blant dommere i Norge. Det å sette seg ned på do er ikke en invitasjon til noe og å stappe pikken inn i munnen til en fremmed er ikke å "prøve seg"????

Nei. Det har utløst en ekkel stråmannsdebatt om ytringsfrihet mens det vi burde hatt var en hard debatt om meningsinnhold.

Vårt offenlige ordskifte er på ville veier når absolutt alle diskusjoner om fæle meninger blit en avledende debatt om ytringsfrihet, ytringsklima og kansellering.

If you fail to argue back, hard, against the confusion of outright lies and appeals to fearful prejudice that make up the central appeal of "populism", you will only make it worse, for everyone.

Terrific piece from John Springford - a cool-headed analysis on the interplay between trade openness, migration policies, and the rise of populism.

Required reading in my view.

N=2 but would say the success of D66 and CDA in the Dutch campaign confirm John's thesis.

In which I formulate the theory that history did end and we are stuck in some kind of groundhog day 1993.

Photo of bottom of page 42 in Edward Said’s Culture and Imperialism. «One perhaps trivial example of this atavism occurred in a column written for The Wall Street Journal on May 2, 1989, by Bernard Lewis, one of the senior Orientalists working in the United States. Lewis was entering the debate about changing the
"Western canon'. To the students and professors at Stanford University who had voted to modify the curriculum to include texts by more non-Europeans, women, and so on, Lewis — speaking as…»

Top of next page: «an authority on Islam-took the extreme position that 'if Western culture does indeed go a number of things would go with it and others would come in their place. No one had said anything so ludicrous as 'Western culture must go', but Lewis's argument, focused on much grander matters than strict accuracy, lumbered forward with the remarkable proposition that since modifications in the reading list would be equivalent to the demise of Western culture, such subjects (he named them specifically) as the restoration of slavery, polygamy, and child marriage would ensue.
To this amazing thesis Lewis added that 'curiosity about other cultures, which he believes is unique to the West, would also come to an end.»

Find someone who looks at you the way Bertrand Russel looks at Spinoza.

The opening of chapter X in book three of The History of Western Philosophy. "SPINOZA (1632-77) is the noblest and most lovable of the great philosophers. Intellectually, some others have surpassed him, but ethically he is supreme. As a natural consequence, he was considered, during his lifetime and for a century after his death, a man of appalling wickedness."

Her har jeg tydeligvis gått glipp av noe, jeg fikk aldri m meg at når Dag Inge Ulstein raste mot Amrit Kaurs "vanvittige og groteske" harselering med drapet på Charlie Kirk, så var d fordi Ulstein oppfattet at Kaur fremmet dette som et uttrykk for Rød Ungdoms politikk og ikke en 'personlig mening'.

There will of course be many, many readers who find what is beautiful and morally uplifting in his work, who will say, correctly, "the fascists are misreading this." I think the people killed or enslaved by the likes of Anduril and Palantir will matter more to the basics of how he's remembered.
