These people are all imagining themselves as artisans handcrafting magnificent pieces of furniture or machinery, and the plan is for them to spend 10 hours a day hunched over a sewing machine making fox racing T-shirts for Walmart.
Making stuff with your hands is objectively good. Not many people can make a living doing in our current world.

there is this constant lurid fantasy that cis men will pretend to be trans women to gain covert access to girls and women because in this scenario we're imagining predators are not the fathers or grandfathers or teachers or priests or cops who are already granted that access. come the fuck on.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

Chotiner is a legitimately good journalist but it’s wild that people think he’s some sort of evil wizard because he says “what do you mean by that”

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.

Contrary to popular belief and framing, the MeToo movement did not fundamentally shift the status quo of institutional empowerment and protection of predators. The widespread idea that it did has put victims at a further disadvantage when they come forward about institutional betrayal

The media is the problem.
They’ll never hold right wing politicians to account, because the majority are owned by right wing billionaires, & said billionaires don’t want to share the wealth.
The bias, propaganda & hypocrisy is off the charts.
The media needs to be held to account for their mess.

I am constantly impressed online and in life how many people think they are blocked or not invited or whatever because others can’t handle their brilliant philosophical analysis and not because they are just mean jerks who make everyone feel uncomfortable

The biggest superpower in a autocracy are saying the words "no, I won't comply."

We outnumber them. Autocrats require constant effort to maintain control. Forcing them to expend effort to enforce compliance is our asymmetrical advantage.

That’s the other thing.

The people who “won” the election are angry as hell. “Sore winners” is an understatement.

On the interpersonal level, if someone in your life is ever angry that he got what he wanted, he’s someone to run from. Quickly.

But here we are. Locked in the stadium with madmen.
Wtf are they protesting? Their dear leader won.

How many Manosphere podcasters and YouTubers spend a lot of time in feminist or queer spaces?
Conservative white Evangelicals with Jews, Muslims, atheists, etc.?
And so on.
These “echo chamber” and “bubble” accusations mostly go one way, and often amount to “you must spend your time listening to me”

A lot of the positions people like RFK jr. take (anti-vax, anti-pasteurization etc.) get described as “controversial.”

They’re not. There is no controversy. This is long-settled science. The correct term is “stupid.”
