Imagine if Dems in the Senate hadn't caved. The House wouldn't be in session rn, the discharge petition wouldn't be signed, people wouldn't have SNAP, govt workers would be RIF'd & the GOP would have some decent talking points. But also online rage addicts would be happier! YMMV!

Again, the thing that truly drove them insane with rage was the sight of Harvey Weinstein being dragged to prison in disgrace, unprotected by his wealth. A lot of rich, powerful guys clearly understood it as an act of extreme aggression and a direct threat.

“We want the government to do stuff but fuck the people who do it” is not a coherent position in any way.

“The broad left must position itself against government workers” is absolutely equivalent to “the broad left must position itself against government.”

With genuine shame, recent years in politics have given me my first taste for what it is to have moralised contempt for my opponents. Not hatred, not fear; contempt. There's some core element of the right wing coalition at the moment which seems to me best described as a revolt of the loser men...

I do think it's fairly revealing that left-wing wannabe bullies think that people who point out how nasty they are don't UNDERSTAND the dynamics at play, rather than consciously not wanting to participate in them.

I think psychiatrists should tell this story to adults and ask how they feel as a test for sociopathy. Anyway the entire online left would apparently fail
I remember this kid when I was in the 4th grade who always got picked on, and when a bunch of other kids were really bullying him, he'd try and make a little speech, like "Stop! Don't you know you're all setting a bad example for the younger children!?", which was met with peals of laughter.
