"Is there technology the left is excited about?" is the kind of question you only ask if you're wildly naive about technology.

mRNA vaccines. Heat pumps. Offshore wind. Urban mining. Sodium batteries.

But god forbid we're not fawning over every new implementation of Making Computers Bad At Math.

is the problem really that lefties aren't enthusiastic about technology, or is the problem that "technology" has broadly lost its valence as an apolitical and universally positive force in public life, and must now be re-justified through a culture war lens?

"They think that the rulers should be chosen not only for their merit but also for their wealth, as it is not possible for a poor man to govern well or to have leisure for his duties. It is a bad thing that the greatest offices of state, the kingship and the generalship, should be for sale.

Imagine calling yourself the most canceled people on earth while sitting on CNBC, promoting crypto, protected by wealth, platforms, and impunity. To them, accountability feels like persecution, and consequences feel like oppression.
Eric Trump on CNBC: "We're the most canceled people in the world in 2020, 2021. And it's really great to almost have this retribution."

We do not have to fall over ourselves saying that we love technological progress. The onus is on them to explain to us why we should be excited about new technology while there are microplastics in every mother's breast milk and our rivers are drying up

every leftist i know is very excited about technology but unfortunately they want tech that improves society and makes people's lives easier and that's harder for wealthy prdophiles to build a trillion dollar industry bubble around

Disgusting they keep at the lie. More disgusting still, people believe it.
Lakshya Jain and the Argument fled this website because they couldn't take the criticism and now he's advocating for Dems to abandon trans issues with polling about 'gender surgery for minors' a thing that is not real

It's all performative. RFK Jr does what he does because he thinks it's signaling virality to 20 & 30 something year old women he can have more affairs with. Trump's makeup is pure vanity. If you recall Don Jr's workout vids from the first term, pure performative. His form was & is terrible. 2/

W/out reposting the vid, I want to make a different point about RFK Jr & his fellow travelers. Whether it's his workout, supplement, or eating regimen, Trump's makeup, everyone w/in 4 degrees of Trump's plastic surgery fetishes, all of it is done not for actual improvement of one's self. 1/

No, we shouldn’t put them in prison
Think more deeply about what that actually means, and what it would do.

To be clear, this is "unsustainable" in the sense of financially unsustainable increase in cost to the individual.

Public transport is far more sustainable in virtually every other sense but if you depend on it (through choice or necessity) you get treated like shit.

Jesse Jackson inquired about AFRO-LATINO and Haitian immigrants being detained in the Krome center in 1981 during the Regan administration and protested for the same groups during the Clinton admin in 93. 12 years of time between them but still the same issue?
