deradicalization does not work at scale. not if the goal is explicitly to deradicalize.

but people do like to back winners and feel like momentum is behind whatever they're doing. build a movement that can reach and inspire the young men who don't suck and some one ones who do will derad themselves

NYSEG constantly sending me emails telling me how committed they are to reliable service during the winter gives the same feeling as having a partner who tells you they're never going to cheat on you out of nowhere, and with discomforting frequency.

Ever think about how most all the big political actors and dictators of the 20th century personally experienced the horrors of war and bloodshed?

BREAKING: The White House on Tuesday began offering buyouts worth seven months of salary to all federal employees who opt to leave their jobs by Feb. 6 — part of President Donald Trump’s unprecedented overhaul of the U.S. government.

Here’s my prediction: Trump is gonna back off on a lot of this pretty quickly and ppl will be so thankful that their particular cause is funded again, they will ignore the real targets that will continue to be defunded. Trump/Rs will frame Dems and MSM as scare mongering afterwards
