If stop 1 on your “prove you’re not a Nazi” PR tour is a far right rally in Germany where you say people shouldn’t feel too bad about the Holocaust, you might be a Nazi

Pretty much exactly 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, the richest man in the world uses the Nazi salute at the inauguration of his close ally as US president. What should rationally not be surprising is still so deeply shocking and simply difficult to comprehend.

2011 Me: Harry Potter is a cute story but its world building leaves a lot to be desired. Why would a society keep all these barely-repentant Nazis in good standing and give them their own club? It was super predictable when the Big Bad came back and they all eagerly rejoined.

2025 Me: Oh.

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation.

I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.

Investigating people for polls you don't like doesn't seem particularly free speechy.

I’m all for the Democrats embracing populism and ditching neoliberalism. I just want someone to explain how that works in a post-Citizens United environment. Dem populist hero Sherrod Brown was beaten by a Mercedes dealer in Ohio because he was swamped by crypto super pac cash.

I say this all the time: the only useful framework to analyze white people’s self-perception of racism:
1) Racists are Bad People
2) I am a Good Person
3) Good People cannot be Bad People, therefore:
4) I cannot be a Racist, QED
i wonder if george packer realizes he contradicted himself. “racism does not explain trump support, white communities getting nonwhite immigrants and feeling resentful does.”

I understand protest votes and I'm not sure they've ever been more important or appropriate but I will also never be able to wrap my mind around the notion that a Trump win will teach the Democrats a lesson and at the expense of... everyone?
