"sorry establishment libs you just can't handle the heart of darkness that lurks within America that won't be undone by your love of norms" is this fake savvy posture that is, ironically, just as much an act of self-soothing. the reality is both more complex and also dumber than that.

I know exactly what you mean. When I say, "I don't like asparagus", inevitably, three or four bunches of it end up in my cart due to sentimentalist liberalism.
The critical subtext to remember here is that this same heart-stirring “this is not who we are” sentimentalism is the very means by which ICE will be kept alive and even materially bolstered by liberals.
People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.

Spiritually, I have to wear a veil and a fucking gunny sack dress thing to avoid the spiritual sight of my flesh burning people's third eyes out and making their pineal glands pop like Orville Redenbacher's spiritual finest. It's not spiritually fun!

There are all kinds of single-issue voters out there.
Dem ‘28 bumpersticker:
“Lesser of 2 evils and a mediocre roadblock to nihilism.”
Less evil is indeed the US benchmark for a party that still doesn’t even have paid vacation as an idea in 2026 (EU mandated 4 weeks paid vacation in 1992).

Wet damper thought: given that the actual hard evidence is for a highly local phenomenon which is plausibly culturally transmitted even though the mushrooms aren't used "ethnobotanically", I'm a little skeptical these will prove to produce a reliable "brownie button" effect.
With most psychedelic drugs, you never know what you're going to get. But this mysterious mushroom from China - without fail - causes users to hallucinate tiny people: crawling up walls, popping out from under furniture and marching under doors. www.bbc.com/future/artic...
'They saw them on their dishes when eating': The mushroom making people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans
Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions.

I should be writing for Star Wars. I'd make Filoni's life hell by putting "space" in front of everything and squeezing it into neologisms and caring about random West End Games creations, but I could get "space fuckbuddy" said aloud by an actual actor if I worked hard enough.

It's a fascinating dynamic... but I think there's a productive synthesis to be had there among all the fedpost syntheses, maybe a couple.
Meanwhile the normally eternally placable moderate pragmatists are over in a corner loading a rifle muttering "Garland exhausted all Earthly appeal and Justice was denied at every turn. The order has failed, the compact is broken, and the only avenue of relief remaining is an Appeal to Heaven"

When you think you have a political ideology but whoops, it's just quotes from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
No.
Money doesn't "keep being invented."
It was invented.
And its invention enforces a hierarchy to distribute wealth and resources.
Civilized people don't need money.
Tyrants do.

More than 150,000 freedmen found it to be worth fighting and dying for after January 1, 1863.
Sure, right after you go explain to all the Indigenous folks usa genocides how the state genociding them is worth fighting for. Explain to Japanese civilians how the state dropping nukes on them was worth fighting for. Explain to slaves how the state enslaving them is worth fighting for.
