Opening the stock market by ringing a bell and going “WEEEE!” is peak alpha mindset.

"Europe is going to Hell. In Croatia, the great SpongeBob SquarePants is known as 'Spuva Bob Skockani.' In Italy they call Goofy 'Pippo.' Disgusting."

It’s sad to think that the man who said this is a bad guy.

When Ezra Klein says that Charlie Kirk was "doing politics the right way," he appears to mean only that Kirk advanced his political agenda using words rather than violence.

But by that standard, David Duke was also “practicing politics the right way.

As The Far Right Rises, Don’t Be Ezra Klein

You can be committed to dialogue without pretending the right are reasonable and while aggressively challenging their views.

Yesterday I said “ok next stop sending them arms” and some centrists told me I’d never be satisfied. Cooked m8.

Canada and the UK formally "recognizing" the state of Palestine with massive terms and conditions that gives them no self determination is going to be the strongest example of the dangers of centrist attempts at appeasing everyone while appeasing no one; leading to the far right taking over

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

Taking political positions that'll make it more likely to win Senate seats in Kansas and Ohio and Missouri. Trying to open your coalition to people you didn't want it open to before. Running pro-life Democrats.

2022 Kansas abortion referendum
KANSAS
August 2, 2022
Should there be no Kansas constitutional right to abortion or to require the government funding of abortion, and reserve to the people of Kansas, through their elected state legislators, the right to pass laws to regulate abortion, including, but not limited to, in circumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest, or when necessary to save the life of the mother?
