Something to keep in mind is Lula actually did do some of the things people on here are very confident in like prosecuting Jair Bolsonaro and restricting social media to try and staunch the far-right propaganda. It appears to have mattered little

feels like at least part of what is happening is that a lot of people want politics to solve the "my life feels empty" problem and the populist right is directly appealing to them

On the one hand, it’s comforting to know that Americans aren’t uniquely stupid, voters everywhere have skulls filled with mush and worms. On the other hand, global fascism is probably not an ideal state of affairs.

sure, i guess it’s possible that jack buhring voted for biden on november 3, 2020 and by january 11, 2021 he was posting support for trump’s insurrection contesting the results of the election. but even if that were true, it belies some pretty complicated politics not articulated in the story.

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

Oligarchs. The word for very rich businesspeople directly connected to the top of the government and playing a role in high-level government functions is “oligarchs.” Way beyond lobbying, donating, and advisory councils. Trump brought them on his trip to China too. America has oligarchs now.

Higher Education is not just about training workers, but also about training citizen leaders and good citizenship in part means thinking that the details matter, that getting them right matters, because it impacts some of your fellow citizens. "It only matters if job" is poison to citizenship.
