If he admits that then he’s gotta admit his wonkblog-era punditry was a) actual clout chasing and b) such a dire abrogation of his duties to the fourth estate that it in so small part led to the irreversible dessication of liberalism

if you work for say Palantir you can have option 1 without being a suckup (possibly?)

I think it’s kind of psychologically devastating when you “win” the game and no-one cares except goober dipshits. You’re feted only by the worst people alive. It’s gotta be corrosive, eating away at you. You make excuses as to why you don’t do more good with your wealth but it’s gotta ring hollow

Yeah I absolutely do, of course I am. If the First Nations people here had gone the IRA route they’d have a treaty and decent native title laws like we have in NZ. And yeah I’m pretty sure this counts as abuse yeah? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_...

That’s the point OP is making. More opprobrium is being shown for hunger strikers and uni students than was shown for actual terrorism. And fwiw as a kiwi/aussie I absolutely think the IRA was in the right. If you don’t want terrorism, don’t occupy and abuse people

if labour/starmer had any sliver of rizz/chutzpah they’d add 1k/py to every benefit for every front page that complains. just straight up eye contact in front of no10 with one hand on a big doohickey dial contraption. every time there’s another cover screed pin it to the easel & dial another notch

Yep so centrist liberalism has collapsed in the US, UK, & Europe. It’s puffing along somewhat there & elsewhere via coalitions and ever-rightward accomodation. Democracy is backsliding pretty much everywhere. The refusal to harness bottom-up populism on the left has resulted in this outcome

It feels kind of nuts that this is absolutely true. We have more human beings than the species has ever had. So many of us are stretched to breaking point - for what end though? Shareholder returns? For the love of god, why

I’m in AU so my metadata is absolutely sloshing around in five-eyes somewhere. Pretty sure they’ve got a facial scan worked up too

I think it’s kind of driven everyone nuts. The right-wing free speech and alpha-male stuff is absolutely rooted in this. These thoughts/slurs are -intrusive-

I think humans have this weird quirk/bias where all the slurs/smears we see/hear, even if not directed at us, are stored in quick-retrieval storage in our brains. And then these epithets are dialled into our minds whenever we consider related thoughts. SM has exposed us to many more of these
