One of the things living abroad taught me is that a) it’s very nice to have servants and b) a society which makes it possible for an upper-middle-class person to have servants is deeply unjust and inequitable.

the reaction to the death of Scott Adams should contrast particularly with the (eventual) death of Bill Watterson, who will be mourned in the style of the ancient Pharaohs, with all of Ohio entombed alive along with him

When I was a child in Nigeria, growing up under military rule, I had to see soldiers in uniforms roaming the streets with guns, it was always a tense sight. Now I am an adult in DC/America, under democratic rule, and I still have to see soldiers in uniform roaming the streets with guns...yeah

I am genuinely confused by all this pageantry. He was not an elected official. I cannot think of another time a regular citizen being killed garnered this response. It’s perverse.

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."

I understand these guys were contractors, but firefighters have powerful unions and it would be nice if they’d show up for these folks. Fwiw firefighters from all over the world, and especially Mx, have fought fires in the U.S. for as long as I I’ve been here. Mx sent people to LA, for example.

“Hanging out doesn’t have to cost money, but you still need the time to hang out. And you need the energy to hang out.” This great essay covers a lot more, but ppl being too busy (working) and tired (from working) to invest in friendships is imo a big problem that ppl paper over with consumerism.

Quick little fact check here: Israel has armed the Burmese military for decades, including during the Rohingya Genocide. Protesting Israel’s genocidal regime directly and materially benefits the people of Myanmar.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Analysis: US strikes mark a stunning demonstration of military might and presidential power
Analysis from CNN's Stephen Collinson
President Donald Trump's attack on Iran's nuclear sites is both a stunning demonstration of US military might and unilateral presidential
power.
Other presidents chose not to take this step, in the belief that such action could ignite a
full-on war with Iran. But the Middle East has changed - Israel has dismantled many of the Iranian proxies that it would have used to fight back.

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Here's the thing, there's an entire political class that think the job of protesters is to be chess pawns for Very Smart Political Chess Players. They see them as unpaid staff for their personal political project, and get very annoyed when the staff doesn't obey them.

ICE consists of people who are too unprofessional to be in the military and somehow too racist for the cops. They dress up like they’re fighting the Taliban in Korengal to brutalize Guatemalan-American teens, so they can defend the master volk (oh, I’m sorry: “real Americans”).
