Der Faschismus arbeitet übrigens auch damit, dass seine Gegner glauben er ist übermächtig und unbesiegbar.

Picked up a copy of Abundance. Any well-argued critiques from credible voices? I'd like a solid counterpoint to go with it.
Agree. Do a Bluesky search on Ezra Klein. The outcome is ridiculous.
It’s fine not to like him, but the reaction is disproportionate.
To me it seems to point to unhealthy boundary policing.

Ezra’s Klein derangement syndrome is real.
I probably agree with him more than the average pundit, and find him to generally be a good faith actor even if he has dumb takes from time to time and is overly credulous towards some republicans… but the discourse about him is just unhinged

Start by writing down a mode and then specify the identifying variation needed to recover its parameters. Design your survey, experiment, or empirical strategy to target the substantively meaningful theoretical object. The world is not filled with ATE Pokémon to collect.

The far-right and its centrist enablers are grossly overestimating the resistance to a Mamdani-type candidate in the 2026 Midterms. Their Trump Stockholm Syndrome prevents them from seeing how unpopular he is. Most people will accept almost any alternative to the current GOP!

Reminder that earlier naturalization leads to better integration of immigrants. Extending the period necessary for settlement in the UK will have exactly the opposite effect of what Starmer and the Labour leadership claim. "Migrants first have to prove themselves" is a nativist trope and bad policy.

Nice visual of the spatial dynamics of the recent German federal election. Obv not the whole story but this makes it really obvious how the left was so successful.
"Noch weiter links?" Die SPD hat sich mit ihrem Wahlprogramm 2025 sowohl sozio-kulturell als auch sozio-ökonomisch deutlich weiter rechts als vor vier Jahren positioniert.
