“We will fucking beat the shit out of the people who raised your costs” vs “we will lower your costs”

This is why they are pushing prognostications of doom. If you force all the companies to reduce their r&d costs they don’t have to worry about keeping up with the joneses and they have a hope and a prayer of backing into profitability.

Because the behavior of the parties is not symmetrical. If we genuinely brought back shaming of shitty, cruel, deceptive behavior, the shame would overwhelmingly fall on the right, and the whole elite political & media system has shown again & again that it values symmetry over decency.

The Platner mess has exposed a very specific sub-tendency on the American socialist left: urbanites whose politics are defined by their hatred of their liberal neighbors, and channel that distaste into a condescending fetishization of rural/working-class male identity

Do you ever think about how Trump's posting was this wild new thing in 2015 and now it's just background noise in politics? I think about this a lot. So I read all his posts this year and analyzed them because THE PRESIDENT IS SAYING A LOT OF STUFF YOU AREN'T READING. www.npr.org/2026/05/08/n...
npr.org
Trump's Truth Social lays bare narrow obsessions of an extremely online president
The bulk of the president's social media posts don't make news. But taken together they show what's on his mind as he leads the nation through war and domestic turmoil.

You do not hate the DOGE people enough. Boys with toys breaking things they were too arrogant and lazy to understand.
Because the inquiry was framed only in terms of whether a project "relate[d] at all to DEI" (whatever that might mean to ChatGPT), projects whose abbreviated descriptions contained general references to "history," "culture," or "identity" were frequently identified by ChatGPT as relating to DEI. For example, a project to recover and analyze ancient writings attributed to Moses but excluded from the canonical Hebrew Bible and preserved in fragmentary form (e.g., the Book of Jubilees and the Testament of Moses) was classified as DEI because it claimed to "provide important insight into Jewish thought from two thousand years ago, complementary to insight from the Dead Sea Scrolls and the New Testament." Dkt. No. 248-11, at 99, C461-1461 (emphasis added). The project description reflects a highly technical effort involving multispectral imaging,
textual reconstruction, and the recovery of deteriorated source materials. Id. Yet, the assigned
rationale consists of a single sentence linking the project to "Jewish thought," which ChatGPT
considered to be aligned with "DEI" goals. Id.

Facing the reality that brutality and cruelty also have tradeoffs and are not a secret weapon that facilitates an easy victory, they are furious at being embarrassed by their lessers and seeing their theory of the world publicly discredited (not that they would ever acknowledge that)

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it. 15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

So, so instructive to compare media response to Afghanistan withdrawal -- months of hysterical garment-rending & catastrophizing, relentless criticism of the admin -- with the response to an unprovoked, unmotivated, illegal war of aggression, ie, "some critics say maybe Trump should have reasons."

Trump has launched an illegal regime change war. As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.
