We don’t reflect enough on how the revealed preference of the richest men in history, who can afford any material luxury or human experience, is often “being angry and resentful all the time.” Righteous grievance turns out to be the absolute pinnacle of Maslow’s pyramid. The ultimate luxury good

The way a state is created is primarily by having it solve problems. Before then, it's either just a wacky org with a lofty name, or a guy with an army.

people who post online are overwhelmingly yuppies. And yuppies, are the kind of people who think they're working class, because class analysis refuses to acknowledge the existence of the professional/proletariat divide. Fundamentally different groups of people

That's simply not true. There was no golden economic period where jobs grew on trees, where it was easy to buy a house and everyone got one, where no one had to rent or have roommates in their early 20s. You have hallucinated an era of history and then given yourself depression for not living in it.

I wish people would stop projecting American politics on other countries. Like just a little bit of reading on Peronism would grant you some insight into why Argentinians are skeptical about left wing governance in the context of their history.

by far the worst tendency on this platform is its tendency to interpret a description of something that happened or is happening as an endorsement of that thing I have been reading Mark on conversion therapy cases for years and he has always been very clear about how awful it is

A useful reminder that you *want* 'your side' to be losing military war games a lot. The whole point is to ask, 'how will this go in unfavorable circumstances' or 'what is the worst, most effective way my enemy can come at me?' If your military wins all their war games...those are bad war games.

"why should americans care about ___!?!?" prior to wwii we had this idea that we could just live away from the world. the war was a brutal reminder that despite the size of the atlantic and pacific, we do in fact live in the world. this is truer today than it's ever been.

The people arguing for this (not me) would say they're OK with crafts(wo)men making money from building houses, but not with mass production -- other than government housing. Which is convenient for those who inherit or hold property, as neither of the above will produce enough housing for demand.

The US is showcasing the freedom of action that's available to democracies. For the worse i think. Democracies do what they'd like, and presidential systems are particularly willing to day "fuck it we ball". We had safeguards, they were in the way. They're not required to maintain the state at all.

I don't seek to go after the rich to fix the budget. The issue is the sheer ammount of unaccounrable power and influence they have, and how they're completely unbeholden to the law that binds the rest of us. They're simply too powerful to exist in civil society.

honestly i think the main draw of elf hating is that it's classist (against the well to do) and seen as punching up. Dwarves are just like somd guys in the mountains that are pretty clearly peer creatures. You have no cause to hate dwarves, because the cause would be their percived deviancy rates.

I have the crackpot theory that women often actually put on makeup in a way which imitates the aesthetics they find attractive in men. Chiefly the increased colour variance and the emphasis on the eyes.
