The "Larry Summers complained to Jeffrey Epstein that MeToo went too far" and "Olivia Nuzzi committed crimes on behalf of the fascist she masturbated with while reporting on him" are the same story: American elites have no ideology other than "I should be untouchable." Society is run by empty husks

What does Harvard, our greatest learning institution allegedly, mean? Nothing, apparently! It produced John Roberts and is now bending the knee. What does the American civic religion of democracy mean? Nothing, apparently! The last election was an installation and now we all answer to King Pederast.

Summers/Epstein + Nuzzi/RFK/Lizza has done more than anything else to help me understand why elites have capitulated to fascism while normal ppl haven't. After decades of hot air from elites/their institutions about freedom, democracy, equality etc, they reveal they have no beliefs or morals at all

this should go without saying but if you were one of the lucky few we did get out of Afghanistan during the withdrawal and we got you out because you'd been working with us, deportation back is likely a death sentence.

I have just finished a book of eleven chapters. Chapters I and III have been posted on Substack, with chapter IV to follow on Saturday.
The other essays in the series are about Reconstruction, Stirner, the State of Exception, and metaphysics, among other things.

i don't get how people watched zohran's campaign and got the impression that he was anything but a massive YIMBY
I mostly stay off twitter but I occasionally go back because all the left NIMBYs stayed. The complete copefest going on over Mamdani putting YIMBYs on his housing transition team has been chicken noodle soup for the soul.

yeah it’s bad that Lizza has been sitting on this for so long but also how cursory and inept was that Vox investigation that not only managed to miss the biggest scandal in the history of American political journalism but affirmatively exonerated her bsky.app/profile/bkel...
So the editor of New York Magazine said there was no bias or ethical problems with Olivia's articles?
Does he still think that?
They should retract all of her stories

there exists a category of moral wrong which cannot really be punished by anything other than the public driving them to suicide and that's more or less what Nuzzi did

Stephen Miller was always a POS. Here he is in high school, already looking middle-aged, giving a student government speech:

Humanities and STEM people love to fight with each other while funding for both is gutted to give a tax break to rent seeking car dealership owners who barely graduated high school.
