It also betrays a set of assumptions which I never see spoken about: The assumption here is that the purpose of social media is to constantly be fighting about party politics. MOST of my activity here is taking in art, comedy and information about games! Because I like fun! These people are insane.

This belief is a huge part of what has gotten us here: An obsessive insistence that “debate” should take precedence over all other values, including the *merits of the thing being debated.*
It is a value antithetical to journalism and they keep pretending it is the only thing journalists should do

this is an embarrassing thing for this guy to say in public but also touches on something that constantly rankles me, which is the vague idea of "feeling unsafe" as a problem that someone else needs to solve for you regardless of whether you are actually unsafe or not

right-wingers will often say that America deserves credit for ending slavery rather than blame for having slavery. but then we made a holiday to commemorate the end of slavery and they still got mad, which should tell you what their real objection is.
when you’re so racist you don’t let your workers have a day off for a holiday recognizing the end of slavery

part of this is because the most visible people in these fields *are* making more money than you or I will ever see, but if you think every musician is making millions because taylor swift is, or that every actor is rich because RDJ makes millions off one movie, you're just a big ol' dumb dumb.

Not gonna keep posting the whole thing but this feels like one of the core sicknesses of mainstream media that got us here: The refusal of journalists to assess claims on the merits.
Yes, RFK Jr. "questions the system" like many on the left but he is also fucking wrong! That distinction matters!

The media is desperate to recast the pandemic as a "both-sides made mistakes" story. On one hand, Republicans killed hundreds of thousands of people though a herd immunity strategy and vaccine denial. On the other, Fauci issued an accurate recommendation without a specific citation.
I don’t even understand why this is being brought up? Yeah, people who knew that covid was airborne recommended an easy to remember rule of thumb to reduce the odds of transmission before the virus was fully understood, that’s just the most normal thing I could think of?

It is amazing to me that Dems are pressured to water down their messaging in order to avoid alienating 'centrists,' but Republicans can round up and deport sobbing children without fear of alienating 'centrists.' Says a lot about what we mean when we say 'centrists'

Democrats want to win over more moderate voters. But are they willing to adopt moderate positions?
