In retrospect it kind of sucks we let conservatives get away with saying things like Thomas Jefferson was for democracy and the common man and Hamilton/Adams were elitist monarchist authoritarians. Makes me think they weren't really being on the level with us kids.

The more democratic elements of the American constitutional and economic order are actually throwing up road blocks to Trumpism. Protests and boycotts and low level courts and juries and cetera. Elite actors on the other hand are all too frequently caving. Fascinating study in who actually cares!

The psychosexual aspect of talking about politics means, for progressives, the urge to be seen as cool and countercultural leads us to a lot of bad places

antisocial impulses of some kind are probably universal - what matters is the particular outlet you find for them, art being one. there's a weird sort of parallel here between like, death in june and tubby suburbanites in straw cowboy hats getting wasted before seeing florida-georgia line

i really do think this is the core of it: trump himself is mostly impervious to the consequences of his antisocial behavior, and because of this he can uniquely create space in which people feel permitted and safe to act on their own antisocial impulses which would otherwise ruin them.

I would be great but there isn't going to be Woke II rather it will be like the 70s where there's a decade long reaction and then a lot of the radical social gains of the previous twenty years are quietly accepted as having always been norms and the way there are.

We have a clear set of class interests of our own: a state strong and functional enough to guarantee the systems of modernity, liberal legal protections to limit the tyranny of the strong state, and public investment in those systems. It's why the PMC's most politicized members are socialists.

Chicago Pope is going to say some things we all dislike because he is the Pope and still very Catholic but he is spending enough time poking directly at the worst Catholics alive that I’m ready to put him in the Pretty Good For A Pope bucket already also the sports jersey thing is incredibly funny

across the board, this week has felt something like watching a boxing match a few rounds in where one fighter starts flagging and stumbling and the other one just starts pounding him, even if there are several rounds to go.
