there is this very American notion that if you are suffering, you either deserve it or you do not
I do not think military actions in terms of responsibility of the population, but in terms of enforcing the norm of non-aggression.
I think the collective responsibility of the people should not directly be used as a justification of even relatively minor collective punishments ...

So much of this shit is gambling! Robinhood is fucking gambling! Crypto is gambling! Videogame business models are gambling! It's all fucking gambling! Laws need to really catch up to the fact that the brain can be hacked by this shit.
This is gambling, and we've essentially decided that it's okay to let it go on entirely unregulated for ??? Reasons.

a billionaire who sees undermining political sovereignty as an alternative to paying a relatively minor fine is a problem that will have to be dealt with eventually
Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.

I don't think it would cost more than mid five figures to stand up an entirely astroturfed group who could get an in person meeting with Trump by offering him a peace prize and a medal.

I think we dramatically overstate the effectiveness of mass-influence operations (foreign, domestic, legal, and illegal) and neglect various kind of elite influence operations, essentially to the point of extinction.
Study after study shows campaign ads barely move the needle. So where does money’s real power come from? I ranked the five ways money corrupts politics—from least to most corrosive. What I’ve learned from 15 years of tracking political money:
Money Doesn't Buy Elections. It Does Something Worse.
Campaign ads barely move the needle. The real influence is hiding in plain sight.

This is more what I thought watching the extremely patronizing clown show from FIFA yesterday—that it was lowkey insulting *to him.* Not that *I* was humiliated by it, per se, but that a Trump whose brain was less mush would be able to grasp how intentionally condescending its meant to be to him.
Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

the thing about the 2024 electorate is that a smarter crowd would have used it to establish multiracial national populism

And they believe this even as they suddenly ran up big numbers among immigrants in 2024 by ads on foreign language media appealing to cultural conservatism and relentlessly lying on every other issue? They don't think they can just do that again?

we live in this bizarre time where “being racist” is, by the rules of discourse, Bad
but the act of being racist is now acceptable, apparently, and so the press bends into a pretzel to avoid calling open racism racist because describing it accurately would be “picking a side”

Here's a better headline for Axios: "How Trump has normalized racism and racist slurs." Why can't some journalists just call a thing what it is? https://loom.ly/hiKWr58
How Trump flipped America's race conversation
Language that once was disqualifying is now a fixture of national political discourse.

In short: people should always presume insider cheating... yet don't.

Why bet when someone with inside information is on the other side? There’s no point

Come to think of it, Pete Hegseth just admitted openly that they're committing extrajudicial murders in international waters partly in order to please MAGA influencers that want retribution for political attacks on Pete Hegseth:

the simplest answer is that almost everything now is for a tiny tier of viewers they feel they absolutely cannot resist catering to, from hyperborean_boi on discord to the President
I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.

Laws aren't real. They exist solely on account of buy-in from society's participants. Once one side disengages, you no longer reside in a society based on laws. You live in a society based on power and armed force. I am begging folks to accept this so we can get moving.
