100% of the revolution will be doing what Christians are supposed to be doing loving our neighbors as we love ourselves, not just our next-door neighbors or even just those in our individual communities, uplifting the least and always being busy at work!

The revolution will be love in action!

Just disgusting.

A screenshot of a post on X that reads:

Cuomo, talking to conservative radio host Sid Rosenberg this morning:

"God forbid, another 9/11—can you imagine Mamdani in the seat?" Cuomo asks.

"He'd be cheering," Rosenberg says.

Cuomo paused and chuckled before saying: "That's another problem."

If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it

thoughtportal Follow

The Paradox of Tolerance
disappears
if you look at tolerance
not as a moral standard
but as a social contract

If someone does not abide by the terms
of the contract, then they are not covered by it

In other words: The intolerant are not following the
rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.

Since they have broken the terms of the contract
they are no longer covered by the contract
and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.

inspired by "Tolerance is not a moral precept" by Yonatan Zunger

Sorry as someone who teaches rhetoric this is a wonderful response
to the Paradox of Tolerance. I cannot tell you how many times my
students have had debates about this. This is the response. This does
indeed fix it. I cannot wait to tell this to my classes now
Philosophically and rhetorically this completely resolved the Paradox
of Tolerance and I am floored by its simplicity and angry I never saw it
before.

It's not just what Andrew Cuomo is saying—it's who's funding him.

The single largest donor to a pro-Cuomo SuperPAC is Airbnb cofounder/board member Joe Gebbia, who promotes vile and racist messages about immigrants.

They would have to love/hate one another, and be so annoying and self centered as to make you want to dunk their heads into a vat of lemon juice every time they open their mouth. I did watch Will and Grace, but it was only for Jack and Karen, the true Queer stars of the show.

Why Underachievers Dominate Secret Police Organizations: Evidence from Autocratic Argentina
Adam Scharpf and Christian Gläßel

Autocrats depend on a capable secret police. Anecdotal evidence, however, often characterizes agents as surprisingly mediocre in skill and intellect. To explain this puzzle, this article focuses on the career incentives underachieving individuals face in the regular security apparatus. Low-performing officials in hierarchical organizations have little chance of being promoted or filling lucrative positions. To salvage their careers, these officials are willing to undertake burdensome secret police work. Using data on all 4,287 officers who served in autocratic Argentina (1975-83), we study biographic differences between secret police agents and the entire recruitment pool. We find that low-achieving officers were stuck within the regime hierarchy, threatened with discharge, and thus more likely to join the secret police for future benefits. The study demonstrates how state bureaucracies breed mundane career concerns that produce willing enforcers and cement violent regimes. This has implications for the understanding of autocratic consolidation and democratic breakdown.

Very little noise from the 4th estate about Cuomos AI ad, which if caught as a racist rant even a decade or 2 ago there would be calls for his dropout, little attention to a literal SS tattoo. But these same people will dedicate 4 10 page pieces to whether a Trans person is allowed to use a bathroom
