Yeah you can have problems with violations of due process but denying that narcoterrorism exists is insane

A political ecosystem where the left and the centre spent 20 years calling everyone Nazis and the right spent 20 years calling everything Satanic had the unfortunate consequence of erasing the existence of actual Satanic Nazism

The problem is that the use of the label "Satanist" incurs immediate dismissal by the left and the centre, while the use of the label "Nazi" incurs immediate dismissal by the right, so the fairly substantial underground Nazi-Satanist movement goes largely unremarked on

Mamdani is the victim of bipartisan opposition

The Democratic Party as a whole threw its complete support behind Cuomo and tried to kneecap Mamdani at every opportunity

Up until last year the Democrats had the complete support of the administrative bureaucracy, the Pentagon, the FBI, Big Tech, legacy media, and the majority of voters

Most of these only pivoted when it became clear Trump was going to win again

I'm speaking about the Democrats here, who had complete institutional dominance even during the first Trump administration and could have done much, much more to undermine him
July 2, 2025 at 4:51 PM
Democrats had near-total institutional dominance for 20 years and chose to squander it

They don't lack the resources; not even close

They mostly get what they want because they are actually willing to fight tooth and nail to get it, whereas their opponents are determined to only win "the right way"

This doesn't mean anything; the people who DO want a bike lane are the same people who DON'T want to dismantle the federal government

The only difference is that one side has real political will and the other does not

Well yeah I didn't expect any different

Fair my bad I don't wish to imply you yourself are advocating eugenics

This is not about technophilia versus technophobia but about technophobia versus common sense

You'll notice I specifically said it is legitimate to look to pre-modern societies when advancing alternative forms of social organization

(And, for the record, I do in fact think that "techno-optimists" who believe all social problems will be solved by future innovations are also idiots)

I've literally seen this happen in my own family lmao

No matter how tight-knit and high-trust your community was before 1900, life without vaccines, antibiotics, and food freezers was always going to be vastly more dangerous, difficult, and painful than anything today

This isn't to say we shouldn't build on pre-modern societies when proposing alternative forms of social organization, but the jump from "things were better before the Industrial Revolution" to "vaccines cause autism" is a concerningly easy one

Unfortunately it isn't

Romanticizing agrarian and hunter-gatherer societies is a staple of modern environmentalism and frequently overlaps with or evolves into complete anti-intellectualism

Kaczynski was an anarchist but due to his refusal to affiliate himself with the political left his works have been heavily appropriated by white nationalists
