As somebody who worked on Gaza under both Biden and Trump and also personally had my career upended by Trump (USAID) I still hold more hate in my heart for Biden, and working on Gaza under him was genuinely worse.

honestly something i'm noticing is that whenever a midwit hack wants to make an empirical claim about "the way humanity is" without reading any social science they always just go to primatology

Look, not to pick on this lady in particular, but do people not have moral agency anymore?
I have a friend for instance - an assistant headteacher in a grammar school in South East England - who has radicalised herself into racism and fascist apologia simply by being there. Would that be the case if liberals she took seriously were still posting on the app by which she’s addicted?

I understand what marginal tax rates and how they work, but (with apologies for naive point) the fact that someone on a median income only pays this much tax - given the general state of the discourse on this - is surprising to me

A lot of the medical establishment is eugenics (this treatment works for good patients; You must have a mental illness that u WANT to be sick!) A lot of the anti-medical establishment is eugenics (if u have a “strong” immune system u dont need vaccines).

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think
Oh, here's a big surprise. The transphobes don't believe in ADHD either.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

In his book Remaking One Nation, Timothy tried to argue that existing immigrants were full Brits but new ones weren’t.
When I reviewed it, I said this position was implausible. He’s resolved the contradiction in the wrong way.

Unsurprising mask-off racism from Nick Timothy here.
Upset at the abolition of the two-child limit - because some of (British) kids who will benefit have (British) parents who are the wrong colour (were born in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Somalia, etc).

Every interview with a right-wing politician is like: "Mr. Hitler is adamant: If we sacrifice enough children, Santa Claus will come back and deliver 5% GDP growth. But I have to ask him: Do you ever worry that your relentless advocacy for working folks offends the rootless cosmopolitan parasites?"
I don’t get how Jenrick can actually believe that we should shrink the population and then start making more of our own things from pots and pans to what iPhones? How does he think that happens?
