Yes, I also live in a bubble. Never said I didn't. But I'm also not mad and accusing the charts of being fake when one of my blind spots reaches #1 on the charts 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don’t own individual stocks, and I won’t own them as governor. The only thing I am invested in is lowering costs for Ohioans. Vivek Ramaswamy has over $5 million invested in the data center industry and millions more in many other industries that Ohio’s governor would be in charge of regulating.

It is genuinely chilling how quickly antisemitism in leftist and entertainer spaces is accelerating. All they need to do is cite Palestine and suddenly everyone forgets everything they've been told in favor of defending blatant antisemitism from has-beens and mediocrities.

Somehow none of this will matter, because, again, all folks *actually* wanted was to feel morally pure. They did not *actually* want fewer dead Palestinians. They wanted to feel free from culpability.

Normalize saying that Elon Musk committed crimes against humanity and that he had a big role in killing a projected 14 million people.

At some point, folks really need to accept that 'don't do this dumb self-destructive thing' is a precisely valid answer to 'what's the alternative to (dumb self-destructive thing)?'. That you don't always need an alternative 'good idea' to keep you from doing dumb self-destructive 'bad idea'.

Rereading this article just makes me mad. We had folks working tirelessly for a ceasefire & we threw it away over a fantasy that there was a Bibi remote control on the Resolute Desk that Biden refused to use.

USAID at its worst in history (withholding aid to Bangladesh because Bangladesh was selling jute to Cuba) was still feeding millions of people everywhere else who needed it. "just asking for better" is not defensible when the alternative is the deaths of hundreds of thousands.

The anti-Biden people will never talk about this, and it is the single most obvious and clear sign that: 1. Trump was far worse in every way. 2. They have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about. They all checked out when Biden lost, because that’s what they cared about.

Genuinely, it seems like a core principal of the online activist left is that people in their camp can be wrong, but never evil. And people in another camp must be evil, never simply wrong.

Americans have a strong aversion to admitting a basic fact about reality. which is that one political party is actually clearly worse than the other so they come up with explanations for whats wrong with America that isn't "The Republican Party is evil" in this case "old people!"

The weirdest part about the upsides of YIMBYism as a policy suite is that it's practically free. We are actively spending money and increasing bureaucratic complexity to make our lives worse than they would be if we didn't do that.

Nothing really prepared me for the whiplash that came from Israel/Palestine transforming from famous shorthand for “an extraordinarily complicated mess with no good outcomes” to something “so simple, you’re an evil moron if you disagree with me.” It literally happened in the discourse overnight.

"Places other than the US [and sometimes Russia and China] have agency" continues to be something vanishingly few people either in the US or outside of it understand. This isn't how the Cold War worked, it's certainly not how things work now.

A very common and sort of funny combination of beliefs on here is that reactionary corporations exercise iron control over the media and also that this is irrelevant to Democrats attempting to put out progressive messaging

Folks have poisoned themselves into believing that "status quo" literally means rock bottom, that there is no way anything can be worse than "status quo" and therefore any sort of change must necessarily be better than what is

Like the "I would make lattes in the revolution" posts from way back, I would take this sentiment more seriously if they would admit society requires necessary labor that people DON'T WANT TO DO and have to be either paid or forced Notably this post does not say "you dream of cleaning sewers"

Also the "labor they are best suited for" language is hilarious because it implies that in the utopian future it will be plainly obvious that they, the author, are best suited for painting murals and SOMEONE ELSE is best suited for working in the slaughterhouse

I think reactions like these are basically the explanation for the vibecession: social media has crated a post-truth social environment where "no one can afford anything, the economy is awful" is a statement of ideological allegiance, NOT a factual statement to be supported or rebutted by evidence.

Much of 2020 felt like society was on the brink of collapse. It was utterly hellish times. But this is what I mean: people are in the grips of delusion. And like many delusions, this one is self-supporting, and people use false facts from inside the delusion to explain the seeming inconsistencies.

My issue is never with criticism. People on here love to pretend that it is. But no, the reality is that I hate bad criticism, which often comes from a childish fantasy of how the Presidency works. The U.S. has done a lot of horrible shit. Lying to yourself about why just keeps you stupid.
