ive long held this view but the problem the post-clinton democratic party has is that it genuinely doesn't believe in anything. everything's negotiable, they're happy to veer rightward on crime, immigration, trans rights, fuck over labor, whatever they feel they need to roll over on they'll do it

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

this is a good post and "decadence" is a good way to think about a lot of things. true decadence is, eg, thinking you could let an insurrection go unpunished and the country would just keep chugging along nbd

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business.

We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

I don’t care to engage in the argument “what if people don’t work” in communism cause you sound like a reactionary. Most people work and get jack shit for it and are alienated and exploited.

Checking a reference, I've had occasion to reread Ursula K Le Guin's Foreword to 'Tales from Earthsea'. The following passage struck me forcefully in the light of current international events.
