to be fair, it's hard to recover from being this unapologetically wrong about the state of our politics and his role in the system

Opinion: Donald Trump is going to win the election and democracy will be just fine
“Democrats’ post-debate hand-wringing is based on the idea that a Trump victory is not just a political loss, but a unique threat to our democracy. I reject the premise.”

As I have posted in other replies, voters should know about these posts when making their decision. I'm glad I learned about them. I'm just saying that Mills is throwing stones by proxy and that she has done more harm during her tenure in office.

Governor Mills Continues Her Oppression of the Tribes in Maine
Gov. Janet Mills vetoed LD 2004, a bipartisan bill that would allow Maine tribes to access some federally beneficial Indian laws. Read our statement.

Mills keeps vetoing legislation that is bare minimum decency for native tribes, she is hostile to the state public defender offices because she is a prosecutor at heart, and she is anti-farm-worker-rights

The posts are not good, but I think the replies here give good context for why we shouldn't assume this is a Fetterman situation. Also, this stuff is clearly being pushed by interests aligned with the Janet Mills campain, and Mills has done worse while in office than Platner has posted on Reddit

A primary way their empathy suppression works is by "othering" whole groups of people- it's a get out of jail free card for feeling empathy for that group. It allows them to feel unconflicted joy in dominating others. We are in a power struggle against this unified movement.

So that's what I would say we should be fighting against, and that's why it should absolutely not be framed as reconnecting Republicans with their abstract ideals. It's a power struggle above everything else.

But way too many people take pleasure in having power over others, and this conflicts with empathy and so they ignore or suppress their empathy. We are talking about a whole political movement that enjoys having power over others to such an extent that they claim empathy is a moral failing.

I do not believe humans have some inherent calling to these abstract ideals; it's just that as a thinking and feeling human being, it's hard to avoid the inference that other humans are thinking and feeling in the same way and should be treated as such. It's just empathy that we should expect.

One of the albums I’ve had on heavy rotation lately. Excellent Hellenic black metal style album, courtesy of Phil Tougas of Chthe'ilist, Worm. Quite technical and heavy on power/thrash riffing, without sacrificing atmosphere. Also, antifascist lyrics

yup, but there's still a chance at the local level to apply that power for good- as an indigent defense/eviction defense/child welfare attorney, just showing up in court for a client is a surprisingly effective fuck you to entrenched power. Does not scale nationally, however

I think you're right about abundance and boredom in the 90s, and I think it also has something to do with the hypercapitalist destruction of traditional kinds of community support and resulting solipsism
