like, I simply can't trust you if your opinions are both extremely intense and exactly what makes you popular and minimizes social friction with those around you
I just don't believe that you believe these things for the right reasons. I would rather be an outcast & hated than not be able to trust

I think some of the posters on Bluesky are also extremely invested in their identities as the downtrodden underclass, and evidence that they’re pretty well off, actually, threatens them.

This is another thing that Posting Activism erases: every course of action, including inaction, has an opportunity cost equal to the highest-value course of action you didn't take.
You and I (and Michael Mann) have the luxury of vibes; Gates operates at such scale he must be an actuary.
It’s pure necropolitics, weighing up how many millions of deaths are the likely outcome of each side of your investment ledger.
The responsibility must feel annihilating.

this is the part where we are obligated, as principled anti-fascists, to make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons

Endorse. At the point where she’s put her body on the line and is being personally targeted by the regime, she’s walked the walk more than sufficiently to deserve respect and to be taken seriously.
Kat Abugazeh’s campaign has crossed a threshold where the risk she’s taking is significant enough and the actions admirable enough I sorta am past caring if it’s a publicity stunt/brand building exercise or not, it’s still brave and worthy of respect.

one of the major problems with liberal revolutionary states is that the willingness to kill the president under some circumstances is a load-bearing pillar of the ideology and they cannot make it legal to say that perhaps we should kill the preaident

the profit motive is a massive shield that protects us, through incentivizing profit, from other motivations to build systems that are much worse, like the desire to spread religious and sexual values

if you bring a Palestine flag to a No Kings rally, what you're saying is what happens in a foreign country matters you more than what happens in your country (or the rest of the world)

No Kings Seattle absolutely has been infiltrated by wreckers. The chanting once the march started was all about palestine, not at all about Trump. I can’t imagine the overwhelmingly wine-mom-and-flags population wasn’t at least a bit put off by this, and the wreckers know what they’re doing

Absolutely wild that in order to be a leftist you must believe in the existence of souls, that good art "reveals" this "soul," that certain ethnicities have access to the "truth" revealed by this "soul" and not others so they can't make art, and that art can't be made by machine.
