The most obvious fallacy in political analysis is concluding that every winning campaign did everything right and every losing campaign did everything wrong. So obviously wrong that no one defends it outright. But so many people fall into the trap anyway. All the time.

Businesses are amoral entities that exist to make money. Complaining about rainbow capitalism is an admission that you don't like it when what is prosocial and what is profitable overlap, a sentiment that is genuinely too stupid for words.

Whatever clout you think you get for always asserting the maximally cynical "it's always been bad and I've always known as much" perspective is worthless and actually making you much stupider as a person and more useless as a political agent.

if it took you 5 seconds of contemplation to think of an alternative you should take at least another 5-10 to at least consider the possibility that it at least crossed the minds of 1 or 2 of the people who dedicate their lives and research careers to dealing with the problems we post about on here

One of my least favorite kind of posts is "Everyone is stupid except for me", where an outsider looks at something like GDP and assumes that thousands of experts haven't once had the brilliant thought they had, and this is its cousin "You Simply Lack Conviction".

One thing Eastwood and Lynch in particular have that almost all modern conservative (and a lot of liberal) artists lack is an understanding of and interest in the flaws/contradictions of their *own* ideologies

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

Im so fucking angry about the harassment artists get. I can’t string together anything coherent but if you’re an artist making call outs about OTHER artists because their fictional story is just a bit too icky in themes, the art you create will always be marred-

"Trump's not conservative" Oh no you don't. No no no no no. I can tolerate Republicans moving on from Bush and the neocons, 9/11 and all that. But you fucking own Trump from now until the end of time. He told you exactly who he was from day 1 and you voted for him 3 times. That's on YOU.

You don't need to care about baseball to enjoy Ohtani. He's a special player. A baseball folk hero carved out of stone. I hate the Yanks but love to watch Judge hit a ball. LA loved Kobe more than they loved the Lakers. Some players transcend the sport.
