Why discard those old worn out onesies when you can

The postmodern liberalism is going to have to execute a hard pivot toward “everything is excruciatingly meanful” to combat the postmodern facist cult of aesthetics first

The big big tent of “has principles” vs reactionary nihilism

Napoleon’s eventual triumph over bourgeois politicians came by applying same principles they themselves had applied first against proletarian, and then broadly democratic, rivals. Here we'll acknowledge an obvious contemporary parallel: suppression of anti-Israel protests as groundwork for Trumpism.

All right everybody, time to read (or reread) The 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon. Ground rules: we are not reading for the history of 1848-1852 France, but we're also not looking for direct parallels to the contemporary US. We are looking for broad lessons on politics and just generally good lines.

In other words, the poverty rate is effectively a policy choice

Honestly the response to this is just showing me people mean different things when they say “economic conditions” and have been ships passing angrily in the night for like 3 years now

Yes, this is why the “they’re not groyper” fixation also misses the target because it is only a technicality. This *is* postmodern fascism at its heart. 20th century fascism was a result of industrial capitalism meeting nationalism while this the result of consumerism meeting racialized nihilism.

It’s easy, Stalin literally betrayed the revolution, it’s not a trick question lol

It’s amazing that Dems don’t see that their base has totally lost confidence in leadership and therefore some heads need to roll in leadership to restore confidence *even if* behavior does not significantly change. It’s genuinely elitism.

This is such an aggressive bungling of a prosecution its crazy

9/ I had launch with Paulina Borsook last month in Oakland. Her life is hard, but she still has a lot to say! She's trying to raise funds to get a new version of the book reissued on the Internet Archive. Some of her friends have a running GoFundMe to support her: www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

2/ In 2001, Borsook said tech "libertarianism" reflected an adolescent mindset, with a craving for unchecked independence & resistance to constraint. She warned that tech libertarians wanted an anti-human world that worked more like a computer. From "Cyberselfish," a book based on her 90s writing:

And relatedly for people i follow to stop launching these dipshits right onto my timeline

this is remarkably similar to the ceasefire arrangement pursued by Biden last summer and also exactly as likely to come to fruition

People make this kind of observation a lot, but I think it bears repeating: While America encouraged the 1965 coup and mass killings in Indonesia, those purges were planned, executed, and supported by Indonesians who had their own resentments, hatreds and political goals. They didn't do it for us.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

This generic acetaminophen had an Amtrak ACS-64, four Amfleet 1 cars, a Conrail EMD GP15-1, and some Conrail rolling stock in it. The problem is more serious than I thought.

There is no honor without rigorous public shaming I often wonder how you go through life encountering the likes of Matty or Noah Smith without spitting on the ground in front of them or otherwise showing contempt
