In all seriousness, some time after he published his book, he made an addendum, stating that the “end of history” hadn’t quite arrived because liberalism had yet to defeat the then still-rising right-wing populism.

He did, however, firmly believe that it would.

I do like reminding myself that the PLA is even more dysfunctional and unprepared than the US military

So I’ve been busy with a ton of other stuff, but basically, China just purged, basically all, of the senior leadership of the military - He Weidong was CMC Vice Chair, Miao Hua was head of the political department. Seeing some stuff about key branch leadership also going.

I joined the #NoKings Protest in Mpls today, and the conversations I had with voters were inspiring. We are taking to the streets to say that we will not bend to a hostile federal government. We will not go against our values. We will protect our most vulnerable communities.

Like attempting to come onto bluesky so you can troll the libs in response to the massive protest which you obviously care a ton about is like the dumbest possible answer lmao.

Really think the biggest win today aside from just numbers is negatively polarizing the regime of 12-year-olds into fully adopting #YESKINGS as their official stance.

Jd Vance posted an AI video of trump as a king. Complete with crowned and sword. They fucking love their kings..

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

I really appreciate the nuance. A lot of my friends think that they can’t do anything because it needs to be 40, 50, 60%.

3 1/2% brings it into the realm of possibility. Possibility spurs action.

"the liberals will never get out in the streets," i say, radically, as 7 million liberals go out in the streets to explicitly state "we are prepared to get out in the street and are receptive to the demands of our leaders who ask us to act"
