Social media doesn't just feed you bad information. It trains you in how to treat information: who to trust, how much evidence is enough, what counts as a good explanation. And it trains you for a world that doesn't exist. New @PPR (yay!) and free here: philpapers.org/rec/FLOBMS

I just want to add that this is directly being funded by American conservative groups (The Heritage Foundation & The Family) who are not satisfied with controlling people in their own country, and have been on a mission enact their agenda in other nations with weak or nascent governance.

I knew we’d get here eventually, but reading effectively: “the woke moralists won’t let us do a little light terrorism” is still something. Less an Overton Window 🪟 than an Overton Chasm.

Definitely NOT a badge of honor, as Meg notes below. As a brown midlist author, it's hard enough to get the word out about my books--so if they get banned, that's it. You can't buy or borrow what you don't know exists. (And the author gets blamed for poor sales numbers and can't sell future books.)

The UT-Austin Core Curriculum Task Force is requiring that Gen Ed courses draw 50% of their readings from this list of 50. Unfortunately, it seems to think that the “Great Questions of Human Life” can only be explored through the canon of Western civ (token exception: Confucius).

Most people, especially in Europe and the US have internalized the nationalist rhetoric and colonialism. It is why there is a latent antisemitism across much of the West like how Islamophobia is present. Christian nationalism has just been secularized.

The way Western leftists/liberals talk about territory & right of conquest is really no different from how imperialists in the early 20th century talked about natural resources as a "collective belonging of man" as a way to justify predatory extraction. Preventing resources from benefiting locals.

Every time you do harm, you should be at risk of ruining your own life. Losing an opportunity. Getting shunned. We need to stop associating these consequences with identity. Link them to harm and control. A victim who speaks up isn't ruining anyone's life. The perpetrator chose to ruin their own.

I try not to use the term when others are more appropriate, but this is just gaslighting. Most of Gaza is destroyed to bulldozed rubble and nobody who matters is even speaking up about it, because they know what would happen to them and their careers if they do.

The Green Party's decision to equate Zionism with racism is shameful. Jewish self-determination is not racism. We can challenge the Israeli government and defend Palestinian rights without denying that principle.

And do not presume to explain RATM's politics to me. I'm his age and I was there when they "both sidesed" the presidential election in

If basic human rights are predicated on whether someone committed crimes (see the "except as punishment for a crime" clause in the Thirteenth Amendment), then you create perverse incentives for those in power to create as many "criminals" out of the opposition as possible. Prisoners are humans.

Do you know why I think every prisoner should get to vote in prison? Not only are prisoners counted in the census and are most affected by policies (check out prison gerrymandering), but also if you don't, regimes could simply round up 1,000s of dissidents and minorities to reshape the electorate

There is enormous pressure on these men to plead guilty to crimes they did not commit during that year. Their lives outside of jail fall apart. Their credit is ruined. They lose their jobs. They lose their housing. They can lose custody of their children. They go from provider, to financial burden.

70% of the US jail population is people in jail pretrial. All of them are "considered innocent," but a large percentage of them are also 100% innocent, and intentionally and callously falsely accused like this. Innocent Black men are falsely accused and held in jail pretrial for up to a year.

The US criminal justice system is not designed to prevent crime or even to punish the guilty. It's objectively, quantifiably, not very good at either of those things🤷🏿‍♂️ It is designed to arrest, convict, and incarcerate, large numbers of innocent, poor, Black, men. It is the best in the world at that
