It’s so hilarious and predictable to watch tyrants (who were strong men who never got ill) suddenly turn into poor ol’ grandpa.

just extremely belatedly remembered all my undergrad philosophy classes and realized the “murder is always bad” posters are kantians and the “society is better off without him” posters are consequentialists

I just prefer to teach historically, admittedly coz it’s safer. I find most under students are there for the broad metaphysical issues that tie to their other concerns. But if I had my way, I’d be in a real lab.

The meaning crisis, and how we rescue young men from reactionary politics In the recent US election, male voters overwhelmingly voted for Trump – because he offered them the illusion of meaning in a world where their position is uncertain

"How do you make ‘strong’ men? According to the right, it’s by making them cruel. “Owning the libs” isn’t just entertainment and sport, it’s important psychological training for the civil war they believe is to come."

Ok no hate but I really don't love this. It takes a simple idiomatic expression of solidarity, adds layers of complication to the metaphor that serve to emphasise difference, but then just reaches basically the same conclusion people used the original similar idiom to get at in the first place.
