even restricting your posts to "followers only can reply" so super easy to stop drive by trolls

It's literally so easy to never interact with wide swathes of this website, and stop them from raiding your comments too:
bsky.app/profile/for....
bsky.app/profile/skyw...

the imperial core: bsky.app/profile/corn...

bruh but have you heard of the lexicon

it's literally so easy to block him and use either of these lists to hide his goons:
bsky.app/profile/for....
bsky.app/profile/skyw...

Since Stancil has been on this kick for aeons, the idea is that in the culture, people don't talk about their finances to the upside.
People think a pay raise or discount is their doing, even when there's subsidies behind it. When prices go up, it's never because the shop, it's always big gubbermint

Hard to know what counts as major anymore, but NPR or The New Yorker might be marginally more right-wing, with many multiples of readership.

I think there's a kernel of truth but Milan is backward rationalizing in the weirdest way. It's not like he's all that qualified to talk to normie men either. Instead, it's because of people like him and matty, that Dems are horrible at reaching the Chapo and Charlamagne demo.

The frustrating thing is that NYT wrote this in such a meally mouthed way, the sort of power and cruelty they're saying Trump is capable is a compliment to Trump in republicans eyes.

uh..... source????

"that's determined in the marketplace"

sorry. i was kinda surprised you didn't recognize me.

the rainbows. cause i'm gay.

A lot of people keep tying Biden's dive in approval to Afghanistan withdrawal, but since FoPo is such a low priority, I'm still more convinced it was post-COVID revenge vacations and they all were more expensive and less fun than they wanted. They had to wait for service, and pay a 20% tip.

Hard to do more economic "populism" when the "base" of college nerds wants to keep seeing their 401k pump and the material perks of going to college! Even worse when they want dem messaging to be nerdy and respectable!

What historical or theoretical political sources would you recommend for a framework to revert from this "illiberal democracy?" Or how do you see it happening?

With or without debaathification.

You see how this is like the Nazi stab-in-the-back myth about the Jews, right? That this victim complex is part and parcel to strumming up populist support and isn't anything new and somehow we don't try to inoculate people against this manipulation?

why does it "feel" that way to you? Compared to the number of other culture war panics they had over D&D or rap music or Harry Potter?

I've noticed that with the whole Abundance thing. The only non-white person he interviewed with was Jerusalem Demsas, a former employee. Meanwhile him and Derek chummed it up with proud racists.

Do you have a piece that more methodically lays out his literal
ignorance?

That's a bot made by a weird fan boy

Fair. Personally I think it might be the casual use of the word "recession" that might be throwing you.

I use the very empirical definition: A recession is when my neighbor losses their job, a depression is when I lose mine.

I'm genuinely confused what point you're making here.
Is it just as yogi berra used to say "Making predictions is hard, especially about the future?"

Because there are a lot of added risks, with minimal chance of a productivity break through, and a federal government that will bungle it.

How did this little start up even manage to get a write up in NYT? It's the most pathetic news, and now we all know about it.

da strap god

who?
