that one was kind of a joke. but it's worth noting that in order for 17 year old morally different stephen miller to be celebrating american torture, the sitting us pres at the time had to be authorizing the torture.

in Yellen's rerun of Weimar, do you defeat the Nazis by...doing austerity to fight inflation? because that demonstrates a principled commitment to liberal norms or something?

feels like a place where schmitt really put his finger on a serious problem: liberalism needs to contain democracy in order to maintain market as a neutral process. seems like an issue

do you think there is anything ironic or contradictory about the fact that the democratic (liberal?) norm we now find ourselves defending is insulating the central bankers (who by setting the interest rate more or less determine the unemployment rate) from democratic control?

if you go back to bulwark interview, zohran *begins his answer by centering jewish feelings of safety.* if people come away from this thinking, he is antisemitic, i think their perception is probably motivated. if they are a nonjewish politician and say that on TV, it is basically slander

🤷. if they don't think he's antisemitic, and they don't want to arm israel, what's the problem? this feels like the vaguest kind of allegation of bias. i think the problem is that the specious accusation of antisemitism is mostly motivated by real disagreement over israel.

i think those people are outside the coalition zohran is trying to build and the discussion should center around the disagreement over policy, not specious accusations of antisemitism. i think if you react to what zohran said in the bulwark interview w worries about antisemitism you've lost context
