A Wet Sloth

People acting like pop culture is beneath serious discussion is frustrating to me personally (I love it) and also wrong (it’s one of the most common things to care about, which is why it is shorthand for “popular” culture) and also politically disastrous (politics IS downstream of pop culture)

In their defense, when I was a baby leftist I thought the same thing too lol

That's genuinely not true and just goes to show how little you know about politics around the globe.

You're an embarrassment to the Left.

My policy vision: Prosecution. Jail. Revenge.

"The government is persecuting us for being Republicans!" is something that has never happened before, but ideally will happen in 2029.

becoming more of a "stand up straight, act like a person, we live in a society" guy ever since both people in power and Cool Guys kinda just...gave up on it

the US profoundly needs a children's rights movement. children are not property... they deserve opportunity and learning and autonomy and security.... and our country just does not acknowledge this

The idea of America will outlive any vulgar nationalism that attempts to restrict what it means to be a real American. It always has.

this one is gonna be lodged in my head for a while

If you live in any of America's like ~4 biggest cities the concept of positive-sum growth is so totally foreign it seems impossible because of the refusal to build housing, the end result is people morally pit groups against each other for the existing apartment stock

Phew lol

I just took on psychic damage looking at that. what world do people live in?

Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu said Thursday that Israel is advancing the destruction of Gaza, and that the Strip will be made totally Jewish, drawing outcry among opposition politicians. “The government is racing ahead for Gaza to be wiped out,” Eliyahu told Haredi radio station Kol Barama. “Thank God, we are wiping out this evil.

OK now everyone who has given Mamdani shit over something he never said has to publicly explain how this quote by a member of the Israeli government makes them feel www.timesofisrael.com/far-right-mi...

You do such an incredible job arguing for why states' must keep price controls as a tool for economic and political stability, so it's so sad to see you turn your brain off discussing how the state can manage the economy to not need price controls at all times.

Why would you put a dipshit pundit like Malcolm Harris on something like this? He's not qualified to talk about this.

More than pedocons, I think the driving philosophy behind the Republican party now is murder-suicide. If they can't have America, no one can. Not even Americans.

Cool FIFA World Cup Seattle idea: Elect Katie.

reading a memoir is so crazy to me. you remember stuff you did?

Liberalism that knows how to stand up for itself is what we need.

Vulgar YIMBYism isn't the end-all-be-all of housing policy but it's becoming increasingly clear that any realistically implementable good housing policy needs to start with vulgar YIMBYism

If you think that socialism is going to rid you of managers, spreadsheets, and HR you are in for a very nasty surprise because socialism is all managers, spreadsheets, and HR

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

I'm part of the org. That's not what happened.

That's not true.

That's not the point 🙄

yeah, establishment democrats do have an ideology: a sort of policy stoicism which was reflexively developed against the more radical elements of the base. it is the most classically conservative bloc of anyone in american politics today.
