I feel like there may be some lesson here for the democrats and media and everyone accommodating the right if you dig deep enough.
A lot of people have this idea that you can be like “I’m so sorry; I’ll do better next time” and the conflict will go away. But that presumes the people who do this have an actual grievance. They do not. They are trying to rhetorically attack you and you’re just showing them it works

I think sometimes about how Neil Diamond, America's least controversial singer, often used as a punchline for a kind of lame blandness, had a hit song about immigration.
Remember when "America has many groups of people in it and that's good and makes us strong" was an uncontroversial - even cliched - viewpoint that was universally endorsed across the political spectrum?
We can go back! We just have to get rid of the tiny handful of bitter, angry men in the way.

This is pretty common when thing on X dot com now. This thing where Principled Liberals engage with troglodyte gutter racists spewing slurs by just politely responding to them like peers in a debate club. It’s completely deranged.

Any time I look to see what the Labour government is up to in the UK it turns out to be things like making posters that Alfonso Cuarón put in the background of the long tracking shot that opens “Children of Men”.

The people voting for Iraq at least had the excuse that it was very popular and there was political risk in opposing it. ICE is wildly unpopular. Just do what is right.
Eliminating ICE is the modern equivalent of opposing the Iraq War, and right now there are two types of Democrats: those who can see where the ball is moving and go to it, and those who will be swept away because they refused to do so.
“I would rather you vote for what is morally correct,” Davidson said.
“Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back.
“Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall. “What you are voting for is not moral.”

Numerous people are pushing back against the reasonable consensus that Epstein was evil and that cozying up to him showed bad character. You are under no obligation to take those arguments seriously and respectfully. Look out, they may call you a “woke” “mob.”
Absolutely fucking repulsive.
Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind."
This creep shouldn't be allowed anywhere near students.

I grew up as a middle class white kid. We absolutely used coupons and bought generic! The idea that you are facing despair unless you vomit out money without thinking is crazy. The Latinos for Trump also mentioned the coupons. It's crazy.

This is the crux of all these economic malaise arguments. Certain prices have always fluctuated. There have always been some people doing worse than average. Why has it become a grave political concern in 2023-26 when people have been happy and optimistic under similar conditions before?
yes yes everyone has made this argument for years but it doesn’t make any sense because it’s also true of ALL PREVIOUS INFLATION and yet people didn’t just stay permanently mad after prices stabilized, like they are today
I think most "regular" people use the word "inflation" to mean "prices are higher than they use to be." Not "the rate at which prices are currently changing."
So when one argues that there's low inflation when something that once cost $100 now costs $200, it sounds like they're from another planet.

Cutting coupons and buying generic are not indications of "living below the poverty line" and the fact that people think this is due to their brains being cooked by social media content which distorts perceptions of what a middle class existence actually is

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman
Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

![As it is usual to read these essays publicly in the senate-house soon after the prize is adjudged, I was called to Cambridge for this purpose. I went and performed my office. On returning however to London, the subject of it almost wholly engrossed my thoughts. I became at times very seriously affected while upon the road. I stopped my horse occasionally, and dismounted and walked. I frequently tried to persuade myself in these intervals that the contents of my Essay could not be true. The more however I reflected upon them, or rather upon the authorities on which they were founded, the more I gave them credit. Coming in sight of Wades Mill in Hertfordshire, I sat down disconsolate on the turf by the roadside and held my horse. Here a thought came into my mind, that if the contents of the Essay were true, it was time some person should see these calamities to their end. Agitated in this manner I reached home. This was in the summer of 1785.[13]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qfwinostecndnbvwwunsmihi/bafkreigokq3cbp2sgvmzdxwtnhcvhxiwrf5viuws2um2fockqkngiodlye@jpeg)

We are living in a *dramatically* improved world. It's up to us to defend that world, and make things even better.
Even the world of the 2000s is a distant dream. Extreme poverty has straight-up *evaporated* outside of Africa. The 21st century has done things that were aspirational UN goals just a few decades ago.
