So, hey, wanna see something you'll really hate?
It's going to be thrust in front of your eyeballs in the next few weeks regardless, so you might as well be forewarned so as to be forearmed.
But if you aren't into hate-reading, you might want to skip this thread.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You donβt need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Recent kwam @nrc.nl met een onderzoek waaruit blijkt dat de talkshows neigen naar de stem van (radicaal) rechts. Mijn beeld is dat het nog veel erger is dan daar gesteld. Ik zag 30 talkshowhosts en politieke duiders die merkbaar hekel aan links hebben en de stemming actief naar rechts duwen.

I mostly agree with this, but more so: Any time spent on saying "they have incoherent politics" is probably better spent saying "what ideology, which policies, what social strategys have produced this violent nihilism, and what analogs do they have historically?"

If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

This story is worth a read, but it's so frustrating to see, since I know virtually everyone quoted in it (and the author) and ... there were *lots* of people warning of these coming dangers. Andreessen became a baby about his feelings long before taking offense to the slight from the Biden admin.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

Your acknowledgement of harm must be at least as public as the harm.
If you said something harmful in public/ a staff meeting / a FB group /whatever, it's not enough to re-engage a key person privately.
Not if your actions have other impacts & others don't know you've been making these efforts.
