Commander Vimes didn’t like the phrase “The innocent have nothing to fear,” believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like “The innocent have nothing to fear.”
Hahaha amazing! And also so very sad. Imagine living life like that...

I just find it interesting to imagine someone walking along thinking
"Ah here we are, time to begin my favourite pastime: that one's male, that one's female; yet more evidence that I can accurately identify gamete bearers. Stupid wokes, lol"

How do you know you're getting it right 99% of the time?
Or do you always carry a portable 'magic gamete intention detector' with you?

The logic of 'you need to know how to use AI' is the same as 'you need to know how to manage people'; it's for those who think barking ill-formed and half-baked ideas at subordinates is the height of ingenuity and incredible value add.
I think this is why the CEO class are so bewitched...

Certainly true that, as a powerful woman in US politics, she was subject to every vile hatred and propaganda trick in the book yet at the same time /she/ chose to follow moribund advice from the advisor class, she chose not to distance herself from Biden. Compare her campaign with Mamdani

She is just bad where it will count: being able to articulate a message that appeals to struggling and angry voters. She is much less charismatic than plausible alternatives. I can only think she's being guided into delusional thinking by consultants and others hoping to profit from a campaign

No argument here, you're right. I just think the idea there's any kind of fully free choice involved shouldn't be overstated

Ok but we can be more nuanced, surely? We don't have to buy into Galloway to ignore structural and wider societal causes for male loneliness (not least of which is the relentless preying on them by grift merchants)

I think the bit that stands out is his obvious disdain for, well, the whole business of doing politics at all. The screeching u-turns are so inelegant, the promises broken so clumsily, it's as if he thinks the only thing that matters is to say whatever needs saying to get through another day.

It is twinned with 'the evil people are all in league and in control of everything'. Much harder to face the cumulative effect of chaotic, bad decisions by different powerful people and institutions, none of whom really have a clearly worked out plan or shared goals.

No you see they're setting a target that only 60% of critical minerals can be supplied by China. While acknowledging China controls 90%. So actually they've considered your objection and taken bold steps to overcome it!
