So apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

I do not know, these days, where exactly I fit. Sometimes it feels like I'm too liberal for the radicals and too radical for the liberals, and I can't quite get the words right for either.

An easy way to make sense of cishet guys being into femboys and that "not being gay" is that the core of what's always stigmatized "gay" is feminization, not same-sex activity in itself.
Male same-sex activity in a masculinizing context has always been a lot more socially acceptable.

My experience has been that liminality is the primary force for liberation. Feeling *between categories* in some way seems more important than the exact nature of the categories you're in.

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

This is a great question, worthy of an article or podcast, but I'll give it a quick stab here -
It's a combination of a few things:
1. Our media are very conservative, so conservatives govergn on easy mode, Labour on hard

It's so strange to me how Tories go through PMs like toilet paper and bungled Brexit for years yet it takes a fraction of the time for Labor to lose support and give power back to the conservatives. I think it's true in the US too. Why is there such a double standard?
