they're just ceding the entire framing of the argument to the right wing. if you accept it's appropriate to censor exceptionally obscene forms of artwork, then all they need to do is argue that the stuff they actually want to censor (read: all LGBT work) is in fact also exceptionally obscene

I know, probably couldn't hurt an evil tech giant like this, but also couldn't hurt to share this again anyhow.

I've been thinking about this for a few years now and it's probably not politically feasible or even scientifically possible but I think the US needs an opposition party

#ICYMI: We previously reported on Illinois’ “no-schoolers,” children pulled from public school who receive almost no education in homeschool.

One 9-year-old told authorities he was beaten and denied food once his parents decided to be his teachers.

Fears of ‘famine, chaos’ in Gaza as Israel cuts off all aid during Ramadan Netanyahu says new weapons will help ‘finish the job’ as Israel blocks all ‘goods and supplies’ from reaching Gaza.

Palestinians in Gaza fear starvation during Ramadan after Israel blocked aid following Hamas’s rejection of extending the first phase of the ceasefire, which expired Saturday.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.

For millenia, conservatism had no name, because no other model of polity had ever been proposed. “The king can do no wrong.” In practice, this immunity was always extended to the king’s friends, however fungible a group they might have been. Today, we still have the king’s friends even where there is no king (dictator, etc.). Another way to look at this is that the king is a faction, rather than an individual.

As the core proposition of conservatism is indefensible if stated baldly, it has always been surrounded by an elaborate backwash of pseudophilosophy, amounting over time to millions of pages. All such is axiomatically dishonest and undeserving of serious scrutiny. Today, the accelerating de-education of humanity has reached a point where the market for pseudophilosophy is vanishing; it is, as The Kids Say These Days, tl;dr . All that is left is the core proposition itself — backed up, no longer by misdirection and sophistry, but by violence.

So this tells us what anti-conservatism must be: the proposition that the law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone, and cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone.

Frank Wilhoit seems very topical today: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
