I think I’d actually give MAGA Hollywood carte blanche and let them make the worst piece of shit anybody has ever seen
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

Dear Democratic lawmakers, this is your "I am Spartacus" moment.

You cannot rationally govern an electorate guided by hallucinations
Yep. If voters aren't making choices based in actual reality then democracy cannot function

delegitimizing the particular socialist regimes which originally targeted by the term 'totalitarian' is fine, i think. stalinist apologia remains a fundamentally indefensible and embarrassing position, especially from ostensible intellectuals

The movement to destroy liberal democracy is international, and so must be its defense
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

New piece:

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

It’s funny that he’s like “isn’t it so cool we made a thing on the internet that can insult and make fun of me on command” as if he didn’t already spend 40 billion buying that exact thing
Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

it's so appropriate that the pirates' miserly owner literally looks like this

it's honestly pretty weird how often people seem to go out of their way to be vulgar and personally insulting to complete strangers on here.

you can almost always make an actual point in a way that's very clearly also an implicit insult so why indulge in vulgarity

If a person manages to achieve complete moral consistency, I guess they are entitled to demand it from others, but the people who actually can achieve it almost always have no real responsibilities or power to make any political decisions
Lmao, so you're in my brain now?

Just because your morals are inconsistent doesn't mean mine are ,too

Griffith’s “Intro to QM” is one of the best textbooks I think I’ve ever read

CORRECT
also, “politics is bottom/top not left/right” might work as a slogan but is shit as analysis. who is the bottom? who is the top? who constitutes an “elite” and who belongs to “the people?” these are important questions that have to be answered.
