Started reading Kant's Critique again. After 20 years, the PTSD has finally faded.

Made it through both prefaces and can once again say: Kant, please go fuck yourself.

Write a normal fucking sentence, you jerk. Nobody’s had the goddamn working memory for this shit since 1983. Respectfully.

It says something about a political philosophy that it can be entirely summed up in a comment on a blog.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

The combined net worth of America's twelve wealthiest people just passed $2 TRILLION.

12 people. $2 trillion.

The bottom half of America collectively holds $3.5 trillion.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.
America's 12 richest men now worth a combined $2 trillion
Their net worth is less than $2 trillion short of the wealth of the bottom half of the U.S.

Den danske konkurrencementalitet har en dybere indflydelse på børns trivsel, end vi ofte anerkender. Når vi lever i en kultur, hvor både succes og ansvar individualiseres, kan det skabe et miljø, hvor børn tidligt internaliserer idéen om, at deres værdi afhænger af deres præstationer. #dkpol

Men who strongly adhere to traditional masculine ideals, like suppressing emotions and valuing independence, are twice as likely to attempt suicide as those with varying views. A study identified Egalitarians, Players, and Stoics. Stoics face the highest risk.

Berlingskes overskrift fremstiller begreber som "person med livmoder" som tilføjelser til den ny abortlovgivning.

Først bag paywall får læseren at vide at disse begreber har været del af lovteksten i årevis.

I #dkpol bruger de anti-woke nu den misvisende overskrift til at angribe de woke.

Like many other European social democratic parties, Labour is moving right on immigration, certainly driven by the recent success of Reform. We have researched this question for years now. There is an abundance of evidence of why this isn't a good strategy. A thread summarizing some of our research

I was skeptical of the “X is slowly cooking your brain” discourse because I don’t think my ideological worldview has shifted much, but having now experienced both Bluesky and X I think the big difference is I got used to fighting/provocation as the standard “tone” of posting without realizing it.

Når @steffenlarsen.bsky.social ikke er fan af resultatlighed, så er det da besynderligt at han bruger ulighed i resultater (hos mænd) til at understrege hans pointe.

Man kunne næsten mistænke ham for bare at bruge mænds vilkår som en rekvisit i hans anti-woke agenda

I'm new here but it already feels like I've been here forever because this platform has all of the old Twitter vibes. ✌️

For those who don't know me, I'm an author, activist, & existentialist. I host weekly philosophy discussions on Bluesky, every Sunday. Follow along! 😀
