If you ever wonder why fascism is so popular, just spend some time working to make things better in a small-d democratic institution and you’ll understand. (Yes, this is an HOA subskeet.)

Yea I played hollow night years ago and got annoyed, def not into the current hype

Unpopular, but extremely correct, opinion!

The thing is, there *is* something revolutionary happening. But too many don’t realize they are the ones currently deciding what that something will result in.

My problem is more that I think his approach to politics is fundamentally wrong-headed. Working to meet people where they are does not work well because most people only hold a few truly strong political preferences; you need to make a persuasive argument, which Klein is basically refusing to do.

Yea, Klein is pretty clear that he doesn’t want to let his closely held principles limit the “size of the tent”

Anyway, I’m not sure this country deserves Coates. This passage in particular was excellent:

“I don’t even focus on people. I am at war with certain ideologies and ideas, and I want them expunged. I want to turn them into phrenology. That’s what I want. But I don’t want the people out.” 3/3

In flailing so visibly, Klein inadvertently highlights how clearly Coates understands his own principles and role. Klein essentially keeps asking which principles need to be compromised, and Coates refuses to take the bait. 2/3

This was much more enlightening than I expected, although I suspect not in the way Klein hoped. He comes across as flailing, philosophically and intellectually, because he has never had to understand adversity in the way Coates has. 1/3

And they’re often weakly held preferences!
