There is a reassuring fantasy among those who have critiques of unfettered left-wing governance that right agrees with these critiques and will temper the left when in power. But the contemporary right isnt that, it's an apocalyptic doomsday cult that lives in an alternate reality.

“We actively recruited cranks, very racist wingnuts and roaring fascists to hurl ludicrous accusations at a bunch of nice nurses, teachers and social workers, because we are utterly malicious, repugnant people” is a really embarrassing thing to admit, so nobody will ever admit it. Nonetheless.

Jesus Christ Cornell

What use was it to bring the writer and activist Chanel Miller to campus in the spring just for fraternity brothers to scroll, bored, on their phones as she movingly shared her experience as Emily Doe, the victim of Brock Turner? As I wrote at the time, I was floored and dismayed as I sat in the audience with one of my brilliant undergraduates; we heard Miller’s shattering account of being sexually assaulted by Turner behind a dumpster at Stanford University after a fraternity party. Her talk was riveting, and there was so much to learn from it. And yet many of the male students who hailed predominantly from fraternities — 15 percent of each chapter was required to be in attendance — were so tuned out that Miller commented ruefully: “You know, this has been my hardest gig, because they didn’t turn down the house lights. I’m not sure how you professors do it, because it’s so hard looking out at this sea of mildly disgruntled faces. I mean, I’m sure you’re all very moved, but …,” Miller smiled. The implication being, it didn’t seem like it, from her angle.

Speaking as a Norman who remembers what Britain was like pre-invasion, I am appalled and terrified by this nostalgia for the 1050s. King William increased free trade, imposed the rule of law and unleashed incredible creativity in the field of giving my father lots of land and serfs

At this point the only real comforting thing I can think is "This is a real sign of the decline and fall of the American empire.", which is Bad For Us, and probably bad in general like the same thing for the Soviet Union, but in the end will have the silver lining of the US not being a thing.

Anyway, as always, there are very good arguments for prioritizing partition as opposed to democratization, but the actual immediate steps needed in both cases are the same; an arms embargo, sanctions, and international coercion to shift the internal logic of Israel away from occupation and hegemony.

The basic problem in Israel & Palestine is that the Oslo Accords ended with Rabin dead at the hands of the right wing that's dominated Israeli politics since. We could not acknowledge this shift without reengineering our entire regional policy, so we didn't.

Always funny when ostensible liberals are like "You see, this postcolonial conflict is actually very nuanced and complex, because what makes it so very unique is that the majority ethnic group doesn't want to share power with the minority ethnic groups." Oh wow, I didn't know that, that's wild man.

Yes the fact that we, as a society, obviously posess all the wealth necessary to not only fix the chronic problems but also have everyone live a life of comfort and plenty, and only don't do that so like, car dealership owners can buy a 60 foot boat instead of a 40 foot boat — bad for the vibes!

It's frustrating because everything you need to understand Trump you can get from watching him for 5 minutes. It's all right there. The falsehoods are just an extremely predictable outgrowth of it. It's just that the media shies away from clearly stating *what kind of person he is*.

Also people talk about "upstate* as inhospitable for the left in Democratic primaries, when it's actually Long Island and Westchester. The mid Hudson Valley and Albany are very friendly to the left, and the other upstate cities are winnable and increasingly friendly too.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.
