“How can you suddenly dislike art when you find out it’s made by AI?”
For the same reason I can dislike art when I find out the employees were overworked and underpaid.
Because I care about people.
You dipshit.

One thing I've had to grapple with this year is a weird sense of relief that fascism is, by its very nature, incredibly stupid and inherently likely to crash the economy.

A COP without addressing real issues is like a condo meeting where those who party with loud music until 5 a.m. try to convince those who have to get up at 6 to go to work that one hour of sleep is better than nothing — and that they still have to split the city fine for disturbing the neighborhood.

conceding to far right ideas about the structure of society is conceding to a zero sum vision of the world, and more importantly giving voters a choice between two zero sum visions, where one is half hearted and the other is full throated. is it really a surprise then they choose the latter?

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

The evidence keeps accumulating that Brexit was an astonishing self-inflicted economic policy disaster. The fact that it is a slow-moving one bodes ill for those who think that populist economic mismanagement will translate into voters punishing populists. www.nber.org/system/files...

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."
President Macron: “Europeans, let's wake up!
We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks.”

Lots of responses to this are like, “but look at the terrible policies that will be bad for growth!” Guys, markets can still go up in spite of that. Brexit is the most idiotic self-inflicted economic disaster by an advanced economy, and you would not be able to spot it in a plot of the FTSE 100.
Very important. The “why hasn’t the market collapsed??” idea is yet another illustration of Americans’ complete lack of familiarity with real-world authoritarianism. Lots of companies can make lots of money under authoritarianism, no one should expect markets to tank in response to backsliding.
It's really not, bc private investors will tolerate vast amounts of authoritarianism/corruption (see: investment in 🇨🇳 etc. over the last 30 years) & bc baseline growth prospects in 🇪🇺/🇯🇵/etc. were far below 🇺🇸 in January 2025, & because there is nowhere else to go at scale:

It's hard to have a reasonable discussion when the other person just talks at you, when they have already depersonalized you, when they accuse you of their own sins.
Should we be therapists, listening patiently and making considered interventions? I've tried this without success.
Such sad times.

Crucially Eich was ousted by employees themselves who refused to work for him/threatened to leave for competitors. That’s what Yglesias cannot abide. He doesn’t care about same sex marriage here because he views it as a less important right than the right of managers to rule over employees.

some people so shocked the US would host a war criminal as if the whole country isn’t run by war criminals. there’s a reason the US doesn’t recognize the international criminal court, and even put sanctions on its officials.
