Political commentary from a liberal
On the question of "what does Epstein tell us about power?" A useful observation is that elite networks often center around rare types of access, not always so deplorable.

The true merit of the anarchists.
I'm the sort of pragmatic leftist who likes to sample from every ideology that's committed to material egalitarianism.

Just a big hug to all the anarchists in the Twin Cities who get dismissed all the time but knew exactly what to do when shit went down here.

Let's be real. Sexism and racism are horrible. Is it strategic to nominate AOC for president?

I watched videos of someone building a website using Claude. We are coming closer to how William Gibson imagines cyberspace.

Woke 2.0 is a new type of radical liberal that is committed to doing what it takes to seize power and use it to achieve political goals of its social movements. Take risks in smart ways by doing many experiments that test ideas but are fairly cheap, and move extremely fast.

I have to admit, I see the appeal in anarchists' aesthetics, even if they are very limited in politics.

Mentioned above, Jo Freeman's Tyranny of Structurelessness shows how easily status hierarchies emerge among anti-hierarchy activists. Earlier, onetime-anarchist Robert Michels argued for an "Iron Law of Oligarchy" where such subtle inequalities build on themselves into authoritarianism.

Happy for him but too bad he only gets to serve the amount of time it takes to go from an embryo to lifting your head.
BREAKING: Texas Democrat Taylor Rehmet WINS Special Election runoff against Trump-endorsed and Patriot Mobile-funded Leigh Wambsganss in once deep red SD 9. This red to blue flip is HUGE.

People keep saying "Getting arrested is bad, actually" and while I'd certainly prefer not to be, the administration's entire strategy is built around the idea that I will live in fear of it, and shape my behavior to avoid it, and cry in shame if I am. That is how THEY CONTROL YOU.

Why didn’t Biden’s DOJ do anything about the combo of coup attempt and pedos? Files were unsealed in early 2024 so plenty of time. It’s beyond Bill Clinton being implicated. I think it’s because it takes down elites of all stripes. What an indictment (pun intended) of so many in the ruling class.
