Maybe this occurred to everyone else already, but I just realized that the tech bigwigs sided with Trump because they had become so Roko's Basilisk-brained
They treated Trump like their imagined future malevolent A.I., and now we're all fucked

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

thread on hypocrisy
when you understand that patriarchy views children as sexual property it all makes sense. there's no hypocrisy. exposure to queerness & transness threatens to "corrupt" the father's property, to "lead them astray" into self-determination, to taint their future sexual value. CSA is permissible as >
Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.

Once I learned just little about how cops are trained it set me on a path where demolition of the entire policing institution seems the moderate position
In the US, law enforcement isn't just legally allowed to lie to you, they're ENCOURAGED to. OTOH, your lawyer is legally prohibited from lying to you and can lose her license for it.
Which of those professions, though, do you reflexively associate more with lying?
You're not immune to copaganda.

this is the thing, authoritarians like to portray themselves as hard-headed realists doing the national interest that liberals won't... but actually these guys are morons, acting out their atavistic bullying instincts and calling it Master Plan
It really is funny how common "military action in the near abroad to distract from domestic troubles at home" is in the authoritarian playbook
It has a success rate of like 5% and a backfire rate probably north of 50

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

the Rosetta Stone of dem politics is the 2006 senate primary which incumbent Joe Lieberman lost in part for making out with George Bush
He ran anyway, won with GOP support, dems let him keep his seniority, chairmanships and perks & he rewarded them by obstructing the ACA & killing the public option

An important question you cannot skip over in pursuit of the Primary Them All solution is: how likely is it that defeating entitled narcissists in a primary will actually stop them from running?
