Cory Doctorow : "We need to make tech workers unionized again ... because tech workers that aren't working behind a keyboard, those tech workers, they're peeing in bottles or being injured at 3x the national rate in an Amazon warehouse. That's how tech bosses treat workers they're not afraid of."

Straussianism has to be the coolest approach to political philosophy in existence.
Instead of writing anything yourself and being judged on your own merits, you just shove your opinions into the mouths of dead famous philosophers and coast off all of their credibility. It’s honestly genius.

All HP Lovecraft stories begin like “I will try and relay the events as best as I can manage, though what I encountered that September night may not be able to be expressed in human language, nor be comprehended by the human mind” and then the story boils down to ‘I saw a building that was large’.

I'm rereading my book Serving The Reich with increasing dismay, even horror. This, for example. Broaden "European" to "Western" and I have to say that I am no longer as confident in this statement as I was in 2013. That frightens me.

![Wikipedia post on Dark Enlightnement:
The Dark Enlightenment, also called the neo-reactionary movement (sometimes abbreviated to NRx), is an anti-democratic, anti-egalitarian,[1] and reactionary philosophical and political movement.[2] The term "Dark Enlightenment" is a reaction to the Age of Enlightenment and an apologia for the popular conception of the Dark Ages.
The ideology generally rejects Whig historiography,[3] the concept that history shows an inevitable progression towards greater liberty and enlightenment, culminating in liberal democracy and constitutional monarchy,[3] in favor of a return to traditional societal constructs and forms of government, including absolute monarchism and other older forms of leadership like cameralism.[4]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kfdiz4ohpkjfceecgiiideek/bafkreieiva66x36tjtmrackxsypzxmig4dxnmz3idummtigktgdzskxk7i@jpeg)

The ideal life is organized in such a way that you’re always teaching some sort of course and always taking one (welding, guitar, emergency medicine, baking, blacksmithing, writing, orienteering, painting, etc.).
Not a possibility for everyone, but perhaps something to aim for.

If he continues on this path, he will cause more chaos and violence both at home and abroad.
