But when we describe whether "The economy" is good or bad, we do it based on the views of the 3.4 million richest Americans, not from the viewpoint of the 338 million normal Americans.

Stocks up, layoffs up, salaries down? Good economy!

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

It would also give *Ryan Lizza*—who could, in theory, have leaked this info at any point over the last 12-16 months—a role in both RFK’s appointment and the untold preventable deaths. But Lizza either isn’t self aware enough to realize that or is too busy selling Substack subscriptions to care
well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.

The genocide is still ongoing and in a far more horrific way than before.
In genocide, thoughts devour people.
Whoever doesn’t die from the bombing, the fire, the cold, the hunger, the humiliation of the tent, or illness… will be eaten alive by their own thoughts and die.

In the end, after she stared at me like this was some basic political disagreement and not a policy that evidence shows will kill kids, I had enough.

I told her she has blood on her hands and walked off.

There need to be social consequences for enacting anti-evidence policies that kill kids.

One of Danielle Smith’s staffers just called me over (??) at an event wanting to say hi.

Once I realized who she was, immediately questioned her about trans rights.

The Epstein story isn't about "elites," and it isn't about patriarchy; it's about how they both intersect, so that elite men get custom bespoke industrialized child abuse, as opposed to the poors, who have to make their own at home.

Patriarchy treats rape and abuse of children as a luxury item -- every man "gets" to abuse "his" wife and children, and the further you go up the ladder, the more rape and abuse you get to do.

Apparently it's only "identity politics" when women object to being oppressed because they are women.

When men oppress women because they are women it's just a day ending in "y."

Put differently: If you look at a group of voters with the same education, their level of racial resentment strongly predicts their vote choice. But in a group with the same level of racial resentment, educational attainment does not allow for a strong prediction of their politics.

Almost everyone with a high level of racial resentment tended to vote for Trump in the 2024 election, regardless of educational attainment. Conversely, those with a low racial resentment score tended to support Harris, whether they had a college degree or not.

Amon white people, the correlation between racial resentment and their vote is much, much stronger than between educational attainment and political alignment.

In fact, if you control for racial resentment, education polarization basically disappears.
