“After the war, Buzz Grambo became an ICE chaser” is a decent sci-fi plot.

probably going to get a lot of shit for this but i don’t think class dynamics really explain much at all about Trumpism and that to understand his appeal you have to start from an understanding that the US is closer to ending scarcity than any country in history
my personal ideology to the extent that I have one is a lot more Hegelian than it is Marxist mainly because I feel that the struggle to unify self and other is significantly more fundamental and universal than class struggle is

you do not want any unit smaller than everyone to be responsible for determining if that guy lives or dies. where police are a problem the problem is that they have basically escaped societal supervision. without any official law enforcement apparatus EVERYONE is a rogue cop, instead

The last time anarchists were allowed to control a significant area in the US was only a few years ago, during the CHAZ. The CHAZ managed to kill more black teenagers per capita than any police force in the United States
I‘m tired of being nice about this; “abolitionism” has had years to develop a non-idiot policy program and the best they’ve come up with is ”murder without even the pretense of juridical process.” And I am not nut-picking; this is all over abolitionist writing.

My most woke opinion is that God is dead, He remains dead, and we have killed Him!
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

A left wing politics that is oriented around your rights and identity as an individual consumer instead of your responsibilities as a member of a social or political community is basically a left aesthetic pasted onto an internalized neoliberal ontology.

I think the issue is that "crime" is the right-wing equivalent of what "harm" is to left-wing discourse. it's an all-encompassing category
Here's the thing: If you believe that Republicans can always win on crime by simply declaring there to be a crime emergency in a major city, irrespective of any actual policing or criminal justice policies being pursued by the city government, then you are just saying that Democrats can't win.
