People always ask “where are you going to get the money to pay for stuff like housing and healthcare and public transit” and the answer is the same as it’s always been Make the rich pay their fair share

The other thing Urquhart and other folks who think that there was some rhetorical strategy that failed and caused the anti-trans backlash miss is that Dobbs is why all the anti-trans laws targeting medical care can happen now. Before 2022 they were mostly clearly unconstitutional

What I hate most about social media is it has shown me that a disturbingly large number of people are completely fine with mass murder and genocide if the people they like are doing it to the people they hate.

Also as far as I can tell the civilization-State stuff is an attempt to naturalize spheres of influence and exemption from liberal univeralism, largely contingent on the continued performance of these "civilization-States" (Chinese growth pretty much) rather than any veritable timeless criteria.

It would be political malpractice and bad planning to allow some 28% minority government that will be gone in a few seasons derail planning and preparation for a national project that, moreover, undermines that minority faction’s whole raison d’être

By all rights we should have lost the War of Independence, bigly but we didn’t! The fact we won, against long odds, is one of the single most significant events in world history. It’s hard to overstate the importance and impact of the American Revolution on world events.

Finally, with the conservatives ditching Great Books (and literacy) we are free to talk openly about how overwhelmingly gay the Western classical tradition is. No more fusty professors interrupting to pretend that Achilles and Patroclus were just good pals.

Well I mean. That’s why we should fire all of them and hire Obama-era officials who hate Trump to lead the new Humane Immigration Assistance Force. (This is also what we should do with the cops).

Abolish the police; reconstruct public safety. Abolish ICE; reconstruct the border. Make it a project, make clear enemies, make people who were in the old system but want to get out of the enemy camp work hard to prove they’re friends like… we know how to do this I think.

Ultimately the solution to rotten institutional culture is to dead the institution and build a new institution that isn’t rotten. That’s kinda the only option. That’s also how actual rot often works.

Sadly there are people, who for their own good and the good of society need to be forcibly institutionalized and given the medical care they require, because they won’t do it voluntarily.

I am struck that the political theory of MAGA in Trump 2.0 is the GOP can win without sound or moral government if everyone throws red meat to the cameras as the occasional bribe. You see it with Trump, Patel, Hegseth, all of them. Anyway, Trump's approval is at, like, -23, so...no luck on that.
