extremely well put

An actual pragmatist would evaluate and change course. Someone who understood public opinion might notice that anti-immigrant sentiment responds to media coverage, not objective reality. They might reason that this is not a problem that can be addressed by policy concessions because policy is not what is causing it. They might even consider offering a different narrative and seeing whether that makes a dent. A truly daring politician might consider telling the British public the truth: that they are being lied to by the right-wing press about the cause of the country's problems, and that Reform is capitalising on this for political gain.

The government does not seem inclined to do any of this. Despite understanding themselves as critical thinkers, reactionary centrists are conformists at heart. And they are so unmoored in our current age because, increasingly, there is no social consensus for them to conform to. Affluent countries the world over are balkanising into fascist and anti-fascist factions. One must simply pick a side. There is no longer such a thing as “British public opinion” (if there ever was). Rather, half the country supports socially illiberal parties and half supports (broadly speaking) liberal ones, similar to the split in the Brexit referendum. If we follow international trends, the values of these two sides will only grow more irreconcilable. Starmer is—though you would never guess it—the captain of the liberal team. His job is not to find consensus, but to hold his own coalition together.

Los Angeles was affordable when it had zoning capacity for about 4-5x its population. The city slashed zoning capacity in the 70s. We’ve had persistent homelessness since the early 80s. This is not that complicated.

The trans partner of Tyler Robinson had no knowledge about it and was told to delete messages but didn't and instead turned them immediately over to the police and cooperated. Yet, the right is demonizing her and blame everything on trans people despite the trans person here doing the right thing.

MANKATO, Minnesota (AP) - Charlie Kirk stood 80 miles from where George Floyd was murdered, faced an overwhelmingly white audience, and declared he was going to say things "no one dares say out loud."
What followed was an avalanche of aspersions and debunked claims about Floyd, the Black man whose death at the hands of a
Minneapolis police officer set off a global reckoning over racial injustice and broad calls for change. But the white conservative agitator had a counter view: Floyd was a "scumbag," he said, unworthy of the attention.

After her hearing at 26 Federal Plaza, a woman was detained and escorted toward the stairwell. Her husband, confused and in shock, was guided toward the exit. Minutes later, he broke down in the elevator. They entered together, but he left alone. This happens here daily. #ICE

The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life. A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation. No more political violence.

Unsurprisingly, the thing Noah Smith is saying is obviously not true. Look at reports on the reaction to the assassination of MLK... "glee, satisfaction and weeping in equal parts" (www.nytimes.com/2018/04/02/r...) as the Smithsonian notes "some actually celebrated" (nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stor...).

A tweet, in which Noah Smith asserts, "Remember: Before social media, you would never have seen people saying things like this, or seen people approving of it. It would all be official condemnations and condolences.

Social media is what unleashed the hate and chaos from the lowest depths of our society." in response to a tweet which says, "Maybe Charlie Kirk shouldn’t have spent years being a hateful demagogic fascist and this wouldn’t have happened. Maybe he should take some personal responsibility."

Arguments about who is and isn't working class are a total dead end. "Working class" is not a useful concept. Unsupervised learning on labor data would produce clusters which I suspect would not be recognizable as any of the arbitrary worker categories people are used to talking about.

Decades of unlimited local control over land use have left us with an historic housing shortage, unaffordable rents, homeownership out of reach for the middle class, and crisis-level homelessness. Enough is enough. It’s time for the state to step in and set some basic ground rules by passing SB 79.

I think this is wrong. The right isn't even really mad about "social trends." It just WANTS to be mad, and it has propped up an enormous media and communications infrastructure to give it things to be mad about it. The social trends are a means to an end; the end is feeling enraged and resentful.
