Bowling alone part 2
this is just anecdotal but among my social circle like 90% of regularly scheduled in-person hangouts simply imploded over COVID and never returned. it's way, way harder to start these things than end them.

曰：「庖有肥肉，廐有肥馬，民有飢色，野有餓莩，此率獸而食人也。獸相食，且人惡之。為民父母，行政不免於率獸而食人。惡在其為民父母也？仲尼曰：『始作俑者，其無後乎！』為其象人而用之也。如之何其使斯民飢而死也？」

People on this website really say "liberal" withe same sneering tone of Rush Limbaugh and I think it would reward them to reflect on that fact and what it might imply more broadly.

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

絜國以呼功利，不務張其義，齊其信，唯利之求，內則不憚詐其民，而求小利焉；外則不憚詐其與，而求大利焉，內不脩正其所以有，然常欲人之有。如是，則臣下百姓莫不以詐心待其上矣。上詐其下，下詐其上，則是上下析也。如是，則敵國輕之，與國疑之，權謀日行，而國不免危削，綦之而亡，齊閔、薛公是也。故用彊齊，非以修禮義也，非以本政教也，非以一天下也，綿綿常以結引馳外為務。

「然則治天下獨可耕且為與？有大人之事，有小人之事。且一人之身，而百工之所為備。如必自為而後用之，是率天下而路也。故曰：或勞心，或勞力；勞心者治人，勞力者治於人；治於人者食人，治人者食於人：天下之通義也」

both sides are equally complicit in the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. Bite me.
go ahead, post another "both sides" take. tell me about cafeteria complaints and affinity group graduations at liberal arts colleges set the groundwork for today's DHS. write another essay comparing the domestic mobilization of the military to the social dynamics of leftist group chats.
