OK but how is this "weird"? Don't people know this MF?

Não, esta não é uma live sobre futebol! O vexame da Seleção e o fracasso de Bolsonaro nos EUA talvez sejam apenas dois sintomas do mesmo fenômeno: o fim de uma era na política e na cultura brasileira. youtube.com/live/Meru7do...

Reminds me of Norm Ornstein & Thomas Mann. Back in 2012 ☹️ www.brookings.edu/articles/let...

Then meeting them halfway is not a remedy. It can be complicity. Then treating both sides as equivalent is not neutrality. It can be normalization. Then conflict and resistance are not the disease. They can be part of the solution.

Why does it matter what term we use? Because diagnoses imply remedies. If the problem is polarization, the solution is civility. Dialogue. Lowering the temperature. Finding common ground. Compromise. But what if the problem is right-wing radicalization?

“Radicalization” offers a better framework. It is directional and asymmetric. It asks how identities harden. How leaders construct existential threats. How norm-breaking spreads. How groups escalate. How unthinkable ideas enter the mainstream. It describes the process we are actually seeing.

‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis. But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right. By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵 Just out in Perspectives on Politics doi.org/10.1017/S153...

i haven’t thought about it too deeply but the kind of right-leaning, post-left stuff does seem to be profitable for some reason and certainly appealing to the platforms

Quer dizer que o tapetão promovido por Trump-Infantino não deu em nada, e os EUA foram goleados por 4–1 pela Bélgica? 😅

Após a derrota dos EUA para a Bélgica, o que Trump ira fazer? a. impor taxa de 41% sobre a Bélgica; b. levar toneladas de democracia para os belgas; c. deportar todos belgas (inclusive os waffles); d. sequestrar o primeiro-ministro da Bélgica; e. todas alternativas anteriores.

Bem, agora sou obrigado a admitir que Deus existe.

Governo Trump investigando árbitro da Fifa durante a Copa do mundo. Vejam o precedente que acaba de ser criado. Nem China, nem Rússia, nem Qatar fizeram algo parecido nos últimos anos.

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

Imagina ser ESTADUNIDENSE e tentar dar lição de moral sobre absolutamente qq coisa a alguém neste planeta? Seu Aaron Baddo, vocês acabaram de tirar uma guerra do rabo contra o Irã e estão tentando interferir na eleição brasileira. CALA A PORRA DA TUA BOCA, SEU MERDA! www.youtube.com/shorts/_E0X8...

gringos gringando: seria cômico se não fosse trágico

Posso surpreender vocês, mas vamos lá... Por incrível que pareça, os congoleses não sentem um ódio pela Bélgica apesar da história colonial que foi brutal. Em comparação, Argélia até hoje tem uma relação horrível com a França. Eu mesmo por exemplo, não tenho problema em torcer pela Bélgica.

HYPERSCALE is hitting bookstores on October 20. Preorder it now! In the book, I dig into how the data center boom is pushing our planet past its breaking point, and the incredible efforts of people pushing back against the profit-driven interests of Big Tech. Get your copy: hyperscalebook.com

Finally, a statement that cuts across polarization and represents the majority of Americans on their extremely annoying habit of not know jack shit about a subject, but still feeling entitled to impose their opinion about it onto everybody else in the world.

Nossa, que incrível né, foi só deixar os times africanos participarem da Copa pra gente ver que não são uns coitadinhos, não são atrasados, não são sem recursos, e sim uns profissionais do caralho que fazem bonito Imagina em quantos outros aspectos não é assim também né

Also, it's long past time to retire vulgar Marxist arguments about how racism and nativism are just a tool that the capitalist class is using to divide the working class. This stuff is not a distraction. It is a central motivating and binding force in politics, both in the US and elsewhere.

it’s long past time lawmakers addressed how companies have taken the switch to digital to redefine purchases as licensing rather than ownership. it’s most egregious when it comes to libraries, but it’s harmful to everyone.

deus tá triste com a seleção por causa das bets

Especially d) is quite profound - how did we get to the point where LLMs are SO heavily subsidized that devs can waste compute on using LLMs for tasks that (much more efficient) classical algorithms can handle. The market is deeply unhealthy and it's time to stop these wasteful LLM subsidies.

Indeed. When will we finally learn: The purpose of a system is what it does. Displacement AI technologies' purpose IS to deskill people. We shouldn't expect anything different. These technologies are fascist projects. They do not serve us, only the ppl who use them to grab power. More info:

People reacting to this as if it's a "lack of class" problem or even finding it funny... I hope you never find yourself in the position of an "illegal alien" who is dehumanized as a "scumbag". This is not "immature" language, this is fascist language

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

Actually, it's only dark romance if they have mutual consent, love, and respect for one another as equals. Otherwise it's just sparkling abuse.

The use of gender to control sexuality is a subcategory of the need to control and channel the human passions and the violence they fuel into socially acceptable expressions, so that they strengthen rather than weaken societal cohesion.

Add-on thoughts: A neat trick is to substitute men and women for Aryans and Jews or capitalists and communists to see how neatly traditional patriarchal gender aligns with fascistic social hierarchies and the use of state-sanctioned violence to enforce them.

Not an original thought, but the far right's use of gender is a subcategory of enforcing conformity in order to subordinate the individual to the movement/state. It's not only twisted and unhealthy on a personal level but fascistic on a socio-political level.

Pras pessoas verem o buraco que a Alemanha está: a CDU (União Democrata-Cristã), partido da ex-chanceler Merkel, líder nas pesquisas, literalmente se posicionou como "alternativa democrática à AfD"
