i think that people who use headphones in public places like trains are selfish. keeping all your cool music and podcasts to yourself is genuinely sociopathic and deranged behavior. play it on your phone's speaker and let everyone enjoy it, or don't play it at all

It's kind of funny because Will stancil is normally a big believer in the idea that ideas not material conditions shape history and like one of the best examples of this is how 1950s elites were convinced cars were The Future™ and completely destroyed American urbanism with negligible public debate
I mean it's not this simple but a handful of policy elites really did drastically reengineer our urban fabric in ways that were popular in the immediate term and created massive social dysfunction beyond that.
Because a lot of leftists/progressives have pseudo conspiratorial models of reality where they think the only reason Americans live in suburbs is bc GM tore up the streetcar lines in LA etc.

The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Whereas some people are just bigoted and do shallow conspiracism to explain this it's actually rather simple— those in the foreign policy establishment like each other and like the same five bad ideas they constantly give each other. If Democrats ever want to evolve they need to find alternative.
A simple way to determine if someone knows what they're talking about is to ask them:
Who has praised Trump's diplomacy?
Anthony Blinken, or Rashida Tlaib?
Brett McGurk, or Ilhan Omar?
Jack Lew, or Zohran Mamdani?

As one of the 3 dozen people on here who actually pay attention to this issue and MENA more broadly as a job it is still very amusing to see people think it's the left who loves this plan. The most voracious defenders of it are Blob careerists or their orbiters— Blinken, McGurk, Lindsey Graham, etc.
