when I was like 12 I went to the California science center which had a "drunk driving simulator" educational arcade type game and if you were too good at it the game would automatically crash the car after a while so you didnt undermine their message

My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.

privilege, white supremacy, interact to make the act of “blamelessness” a desired state as a concurrency to “reason” being the ideal of humanity

So contextless erasure is seen as “wit” and a state to gain power
( see everyone being anti IP as “good” )

Rather than a form of oppression

This concentration of wealth has progressed with every US presidency. And then people ask

“How did we get here?”

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 1d

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

That would be a good thing but the reality is that the United States could devolve into stone age hunter gatherer cannibals age they would still think they're better than China.

It's one of the requirements for being American

No, it's not going to 'hit the American space establishment like a nightmare'.

I'd phrase it more akin to the case of the political establishment.

Remember the time I got into a discussion with some American liberal talking all kinds of shit about how American wars are "necessary" because they "protect American freedoms." At one point, I got tired of going back and forth with them, so I asked them to list those "freedoms." Dude went mute.

It’s me, the avowed progressive liberal who, whenever a left wing economic progressive who looks remotely electorally viable is mentioned will, like some kind of hypnotised super-spy sleeper cell, launch into a furious and hectoring diatribe about what a terrible person they are.

Rubin once retweeted someone calling for Palestinian children to be fed to sharks and has described herself as an "Andrew Cuomo Democrat."

Unconditional support for the Israeli government is counterproductive for both countries. If Trump can get tough, why not Congress and every potus? The Israel right-or-wrong position AIPAC, right-wing Christians, and some US Jews have held is no longer unassailable. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

What now for Israel and Gaza?

No one will be the same.

The United States is currently in material breach of over five hundred legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations. We violated even the treaties we coerced at the point of a sword.

We cannot talk about restoring the rule of law until we acknowledge and repair this fundamental truth.

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily
