One of the most annoying parts of Gilded Age 2 is how bad they want us to take rich people seriously, even when they say shit like “I don’t think” or “you should feed your whole brain into the computer so I can sell it back to you”

a car is not a symbol of freedom; it's a symbol of your government's dereliction of duty to provide basic infrastructure that produces a social good (which most comparable countries have in spades) bc it's not really a government, but rather the functional sockpuppet of a greedy, reckless industry

The time honored conservative axiom "anything I've never personally experienced is fake," applied not just to gender identities, sexualities and non-evangelical religious principles but the very idea of consequences

I am irrationally irritated by the phrase "if I'm being honest", instead i think "to be honest" or "honestly" is sufficient and more direct and accountable. like, who asked for that fucking "if" and how did that become common phrasing?

Every line of this, but especially: “The language provides cover. If it’s chaos, nobody designed it. If it’s unprecedented, nobody planned for it. If it’s erratic, there’s no strategy to expose. Every one of these words takes an intentional project and turns it into a weather event...”

sir, you are mis-characterizing the behavior, mixing up the cause and the symptom, and failing the root cause analysis: capitalism > anxiety by design > fear / paralysis
