Suddenly people lose the ability to distinguish between “this thing feels good to believe” and “this thing is true” - because if it feels good to believe, someone will inevitably provide the service of special forums and channels that explain to you why it’s true.

The key change in the modern info ecosystem, from the consumer/audience point of view, is how readily it expects you to decide WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE AND FEEL, and then find information sources that will deliver that to you exactly.

I mean, I *guess* Pride and Prejudice might be considered a slow burn, but more in the way cartoon characters catch fire and don’t notice it until just as they’re about to become a mound of soot with eyeballs.

“—and Elizabeth, agitated and confused, rather knew that she was happy, than felt herself to be so.” OOOOOHHH-kay at the risk of over-identifying with the heroine, this sentiment hit me like an errant dodgeball to the face.

Some Alberta separatism myths never die. Here's a column with a rebuttal to three: - No, we wouldn't be able to force the rest of Canada to build pipelines. - No, we wouldn't be wealthier. - No, it wouldn't make Alberta a conservative bastion. (2/8)

Just once in my life I would like to see a Democrat being interviewed by right wing media like Fox News or right wing media like every single other outlet treat their questions with the contempt they deserve. I know it's not going to fix everything or maybe even anything but how much coverage and how much groundswell of excitement from the base do you think it would inspire if when asked about "boys in girls sports" or some other stupid fucking culture war distraction one of them finally said "What the fuck are you talking about man? You sound like a dumb asshole right now."

What's the worst that's going to happen the New York Times is gonna work overtime to make sure you don't get elected? They were already doing that buddy.

You simply say "Are you stupid? Do you think I am stupid? And do you think all of the people watching at home are stupid? Everyone sees through what you are doing. Using one group as a scapegoat for the very real problems everyone has – all caused by Republicans by the way – unlike this fake one you have made up. Dumb asshole."

Just go on the attack for once instead of sitting there trying to please your enemy who is in the process of trying to humiliate you.

And if you want to say something else true that almost no Democrat ever says for some reason you can top it off with a “Every single Republican in our lifetime has sought to make our lives worse in every way possible. I’d like to try to stop that.”
