finally reading scott's seeing like a state, and in the narrative conflict between modern state legibility and illegible communal peasantry, its important not to romanticize the latter nor neglect the former's role catalyzing the enlightenment

how do you think that nearly two-thirds of young americans have a favorable opinion of socialism lol
The only major faction which does not believe it is the far right, which understands itself to be in a cultural battle for hearts and minds which is only glancingly correlated with economic anything. It’s worked out wonderfully for them

I have a hard time believing that nearly a billion people are using chatgpt. My every instinct is that the numbers are gamed. But...

2) Everyone dealing with bureaucracy (find me the email for..., explain box 5 on this form...)
3) Coldplay and Dave Matthews are wildly popular

this is a bluesky bubble opinion. 800M+ people use chatgpt every week. I hate Facebook and Instagram and I wish they didn’t exist, but 3B and 2B people use them every month, respectively. it’s very hard to picture a mass or even a niche left backlash against them
i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills

"All Afghans who get visas are CIA" is a bullshit take. Plenty are Hazara trying not to get killed for being ethnic and religious minorities. Lumping all Afghan refugees together as CIA makes you no different in terms of discrimination than the MAGA types who think they are all terrorists.
Having intersectional minority identities in the West does not, unfortunately, confer enhanced appreciation of nuance in identities abroad. Non-Western experiences and identities are ignored or flattened. One even finds people weaponize their minority status in the West against minorities abroad.

Labor gaining just the tiniest amount of power relative to capital a few years back absolutely broke employers' brains
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

No, Stossel. The Pilgrims Were Starved by a Corporation, Not by Communism.
Each year at this time somebody in the right-libertarian world, reenacting an obligatory Thanksgiving ritual, drags out the old chestnut about the Pilgrims at Plymouth almost starving from “communism”...

Trump has never once in his life extemporaneously used the phrase "western civilization." He was once asked about western liberalism and thought they were talking about California Democrats. One of the more blatant tells for a Miller-written screed.

When the prison guards went on strike, many inmates said they were doing so to preserve their ability to do things like this.
A @nytimes.com investigation has found that state prison guards have been credibly accused of engaging in such behavior — putting inmates in restraints and then assaulting them — far more often than was previously known.

I think this is related to Megyn Kelly's not-technically-a-pedophile remarks.
Reactionary patriarchy only cares about sorting "normal" from "deviant".
It doesn't care about sufficiently *normal* kinds of violence, abuse, coercion, harm, etc.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power
