I am begging and pleading with people here to take civil society and social norms seriously as determiners of political outcomes.

On the one I agree with social anarchist critics that they don’t give enough thought to how these assemblies would be captured by culturally rw forces at the same most of those same critics then never turn around and think about how this also applies to large centralized states either.

The conflict I feel between wanting people to drive slower on the interstate vs opposing nanny state shit and also recognizing the US relatively high car crash rate is still pretty low in absolute terms.

The funny irony in this is that in the actual literature on social trust ethnic diversity doesn’t change much one way or the other but things like secret police and general authoritarianism are shown uniformly to destroy social trust.

“To the ICE agent who took away my mother: I hope it was worth it,” wrote Samuel Gonzalez Terrones before taking his own life. This is the reality of what mass deportation looks like. Not only impacting those who are detained but also leaving a path of destruction for the family they leave behind.

His mom was detained by ICE. Two months later, he died by suicide

Samuel Gonzalez Terrones, 21, struggled with depression and schizophrenia. His mom's arrest by ICE became too much to bear.

There is a part of me that thinks that as long as life sentences exist, capital punishments are relatively more humane but then remembers the existence of delayed executions.

Unlike some friends of mine I do think there’s a real distinction between the kind of Landian turn everyone into biofuel tech fascists and the ultranationalists who want to create their bespoke little ethnostates. What annoys me about current discourse is how much people think the former

I don’t really feel the existential fear here because it always seems it’s motivated by a view of life‘s meaning as winning some kind of cosmic status competition rather than the love of the game. Like a computer being able to think better than me should

AI discourse on Bluesky is very annoying because I’m inclined to take ai consciousness seriously as a possibility but other people who are inclined to that position are inclined for very dumb reasons that portray and imbecilic understanding of phil mind and language.

ICE has fallen out of the headlines but July marked the largest number of migrant detentions ever on record. Five migrants have died in ICE custody in the last two months. It's also currently impossible to legally migrate to this country, as 100% of visa applications have been paused.

As one of like 5 libertarians on this site this entire argument to my eyes is between economically literate (lib wonks) vs. economically illiterate (dsa) social democrats so I’m pretty primed for the former rather than the latter (they could market themselves a hell of a lot better tho)

It is fascinating how “liberal” as a term basically just means some form of political modernism that isn’t clearly conservative or socialist rather than an actual intellectual tradition in a lot of historical scholarship and contemporary political conversations.

This isn’t wrong per se but it is quite amusing that the answer to this is usually either raise taxes or communism (but don’t ask what that means in terms of institutions) and not reform IP and government contracts.
