what it comes down to is this: if human rights are something you have to deserve, then anyone - including you! - can be deemed undeserving.
and once you believe that, the only thing separating you from a fascist is a little bit of haggling over the price.

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.

your 14yr old nephew is addicted to at least 4 different gambling apps on his phone where he's actively betting daily on the outcome of individual skirmishes in a real life war happening on the other side of the globe

I need adults to understand that "fairness" is not niceness. If you have behaved poorly multiple times it is *entirely fair* for people to approach you as though you will continue to.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

this is why I think the admin spending all week yelling about a “hate America” rally was stupid
anyone who tunes in gets to see funny signs, joyful crowds and shit like “an enormous constitution being carried to the White House”
this is a crowd that loves America and wants it to be better

All the shitty, awful technologies are going FULL SPEED AHEAD. Meanwhile, we have new vaccine technologies that could *literally cure cancer, a thing we've been trying to do since we found out cancer was a thing* and to that, RFK just mumbles "nah" through a mouthful of roadkill. This is the worst.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t call, email, and protest. We should annoy them and waste as much of their time as possible. But the victim-blaming needs to stop. We shouldn’t have to call our representatives every day to remind them to do their jobs. It’s not our fault when they refuse.

So basically all of Game Theory can just be chucked out the fucking window now, right? I never have to think about a Nash Equilibrium again? Cause the idea any of this is rational is beyond the fucking pale.

Conservatives have understood at a visceral level for 70 years that the defeat of fascism by the liberal order was destructive to their legitimacy. So while many tried to write themselves into the history of liberalism, others tried to rewrite the history of fascism. The latter camp is now ascendant
