if you've been wondering how thin the commitment to the cultural is as an. 'alternative' to explicit racism of the more clearly segregationist sort, consider the implications of "the mere fact of us being able to notice" that someone is of South Asian heritage as ruling our assimilation

You need to have a low enough opinion of the electorate to understand that this is a real lane which is gonna get a lot of votes

One of the main reasons I agitate so often against thinking in terms of a spectrum is that the SSPX/Fuentes/whatever get so much gravity and oxygen that you can work for the Trump administration and still successfully present yourself as a totally apolitical moderate with Real Concerns

Honestly at this point I'm willing to disrupt something, maybe change everything. I can also be talked down to a reasonably priced meatloaf dinner

Not to be on my high horse too long about this particular thing, but "all 'art' is equally valuable simply because it exists" is an insane thing to believe while also opposing ie trumpism. you wouldn't "at least they're reading" Kash Patel's children's books

I do basically think if you run a business and politics podcast you should be put in a screenless and microphoneless cube for 5-10 years

JCO obviously correct here but has made the fatal mistake of implying that not all criticism is completely subjective so naturally people are freaking out

I do sort of think there's an online socialization that encourages this kind of behavior very specifically with the overlap between Trump cabal supporters Tate style rapists and MRAs being something you have to make a decision to avoid as a man with any kind of algorithmic feed

The raw visceral hatred some men have for women, at least women who step out of line, is shocking. I know it sounds like some sorta "one of the good ones" ploy but I am genuinely taken aback when I see it because I think: I had a fairly normal socialisation as a man in the west, how did I miss this?

I can forgive the Iraq war and ghoulish welfare "reform" under inspiration of Charles Murray's race science. What I CANNOT forgive is this apparent illiteracy wrt both the Iliad AND the Odyssey

The thing I think PRIMETIME succeeds at is showing the degree to which people's relationship with predation is aspirational (nearly??) as much as it is outrage. This is why the Epstein stuff mostly didn't matter despite it all
