Alex @saintsopossums.bsky.social · 15/10/2026It’s probably impossible, but I think there’s a question of if internal message discipline would help. Like, it’s probably impossible to defend for example congestion pricing to suburban whiners if you also have urban leftists and/or progressives handwringing about if congestion pricing is unfair 240 4
Alex @saintsopossums.bsky.social · 15/10/2026IMO, we have to be willing to essentially say “you’re doing fine, shut up.” And there’s a real reluctance, given economic worldviews/social dynamics to do that. It’s why we’re still arguing about vibecessions years later 160 6
Alex @saintsopossums.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Right, but Shrewsbury has a lower property tax rate than Worcester, and they have cheaper utilities thanks to their municipal service. I don’t know what we would lose by exploring municipal power and/or telecommunications 000 0

Alex @saintsopossums.bsky.social · 14/10/2026It’s the exact same energy as to why the City Council has put 100x more energy into complaining about kids doing wheelies on bikes than they have misconduct lawsuits against the WPD 120 2
Alex @saintsopossums.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Yes. The entire argument has been about the fact that morally, it is unethical that the United States gets to do crimes to other countries with no recourse, when we would never accept other countries doing the same to us. Obviously the US CAN physically do crimes. That’s not a point of contention 250 5
Alex @saintsopossums.bsky.social · 14/10/2026But the US invaded Afghanistan under the premise that a country harboring a civilian who committed murder was unconscionable. Using that argument, North Korea would be well within their rights to demand the “civilians“ back to face trial, or they would declare war on the United States 430 4
Alex @saintsopossums.bsky.social · 14/10/2026We should probably look into if we have US civilians going around murdering fishermen then. Seems bad! Again, do you not understand that some people have a distinction between legality and morality? 100 1

Alex @saintsopossums.bsky.social · 14/10/2026I understand the structure, yes. The structure is morally bad. I dunno man, if some Russian commando broke into my house and shot me because they were doing a covert action, I would not personally approve of that. 020 2
Alex @saintsopossums.bsky.social · 14/10/2026I do think that, yeah. Hell, I think we should hand over Hegseth to Iran over the school bombing 140 4
Alex @saintsopossums.bsky.social · 14/10/2026How is that argument any different than arguing that the Tiger Force atrocities in Vietnam were fine? 100 1
Alex @saintsopossums.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Well, presumably he’s not arguing that whoever gave the order to do the operation where special forces killed civilians should go to jail. I am arguing that. That’s kind of the fundamental difference 120 2
Alex @saintsopossums.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Yes. Do you think if North Korea did covert action on the coast of California and shot some fisherman that the US would just go “oh, no harm no foul guys, we understand it was covert action. All good!” 690 9
Alex @saintsopossums.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Seriously. Yes, ”these are the current rules of engagement“ is just an is/ought distinction. It’s morally bad if the rules of engagement are currently ”our guys can murk whatever civilians they want if they fucked up the whole ‘covert’ thing.” 2230 23
