I feel like if you could evaluate this on "number of hours spent online/on social media" you'd see the divide.

Family member found this out the hard way when an Amazon driver ran over their dog. We were all shocked to learn it.

Integrity anywhere is a foregone conclusion, it isn't even considered and dismissed anymore.

Personally I think it's a great idea to pay more for produce so that we can subsidize farmers not to grow it. It just makes sense.

Embarrassing. Sack up Hakeem

If only there was some historical precedent for business leaders cozying up to a wannabe tyrant for their own benefit, being entirely used, and then spit out

people on the right*

I honestly can't believe this take from as intelligent and well researched an individual as you. Nothing good as ever come in history from capitulating to authoritarians.

authoritarian threats - AND acting on them when they get in power. No one on the left gets into power and then uses it to get retribution, or selectively harm a subgroup. People on the left regularly do.

I'm sorry, but the rhetoric matches the threat. Violence be condemned, but we should speak up

Ezra, I ask you to think a little harder. This isn't a both sides thing. We absolutely can say that this act of violence was horrible, while saying that Kirk was harmful. We absolutely do no have to "tone down the rhetoric" when the one side is disproportionately making violent, hateful, and...

oh thank you, I may be misunderstanding how Bluesky works.

I still admire Ezra - no one does what he does in his podcast as well as him, and he clearly works extremely hard to put his own good faith arguments into the world. It's clear he wants to make the world a better place. We should always admire people like that, even if disagree at times.

Yes. This was more of a shout into the void.
