Our legacy media endlessly perpetuates the assumption, for which there is no evidence, that Elon Musk is a comic book super genius inventor. So they never shift to the assumption, for which evidence abounds, that he's just a cheap charlatan sabotaging human progress for his own benefit.

The American right does not defend slavery because progressives say it was bad. They defend slavery because racial hierarchy has been an important and increasingly explicit component of their ideology for 70 years. Read a fucking book.

i have said this before but among chatterton’s many problems as a “thinker” is that he doesn’t
believe the political right has any agency or history. everything in his mind is a function of the summer of 2020. history begins and ends there. it is the perspective of a simpleton.
