300 by Zack Snyder is unironically the biggest and most impactful piece of reactionary art.
Sparta never actually controlled an “empire” either! It’s crazy how little these people actually know about Spartan history. I think the movie “300” broke the brains of a lot men.

The funny thing is, the Empire is scarier when Vader is just an attack dog. Like, they just have a fallen samurai mystic on their payroll as a mid-level lackey. The last dying echoes of magic and wonder in the universe from the old age is an errand boy.

And they kept their jobs despite that.
Their disloyalty to the party isn't seen as disqualifying for leadership *by the party in Congress.*
That's the problem.

One thing that's totally true in both situations is that a very small number of bad actors totally poisoned the discourse. A difference is that Schumer was one of those bad actors
"Democrats didn't support Mamdani" is this really crazy myth that needs to die

The lack of turnover in the Trump admin in even these highly messy visible mouthpiece roles really implies to me that the people in the admin don't actually think they have a place to land after the admin.

jesse jackson was constantly played as a punchline on 90s late-night TV to the point that i didn't understand his history of activism and serious left-leaning political platform until i was much older. i have to think, to some degree, that was on purpose.

In 1984 Jesse Jackson was running for President and wanted to come to Portsmouth to do a parade and his campaign kept running into roadblocks. He got involved personally and asked to be sent to “the person who could get things done”. And that’s how we met and became friends.

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop
And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)

I've been harping on it, these people have no idea how to actually do corruption. They keep making the small things so obvious that every normal person has to wonder what huge things they're doing as well that they're actually trying to hide

The house we bought a couple of years ago has one of those kitchen cabinets where you pull it out and it’s the trash can. Supposed to hide the trash away all demure & shit, except the inside of that cabinet gets fouler than any regular in-the-open trash can I’ve ever had.

People who've never read the Silmarillion never get to read the grim darkness of eternal war against the Ruinous Power of the North in the hands of an actually talented writer, not a latter-day pulp fiction writer. That's a shame.

The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

There’s going to be Covid style shortages of cars, TVs and even washing machines and fridges, then job losses because assembly lines can’t source solid state memory, just so the stupidest person you know can state with 100% confidence a chatbot confirmed dinosaurs coexisted with humans.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

i don't like "steelmanning" but i do want to say that the discussion around "we have to vote all the time to keep out fascism" has never really addressed the core of the issue, which is that it gets tiring for every election to be "the most important election of our lifetimes."
