Politics is the process of building, consolidating, and wielding power in service to one's worldview. It should be treated as a knife fight to the death.

People should genuinely be more willing to say that the German Republic of the interwar years was a great thing and that it is a shame it fell, imo, instead of handwringing about how it probably was inevitable.
In turn, the fall of Weimar Germany is a failure state of democracy, but it was not 'by democratic means' that it failed - the streets were claimed by thugs, and the administration that put Hitler into power - because the Nazis never won an election before banning their opponents - was Monarchist.

::Republicans pass a bill to re-institute chattel slavery::

you: well, they should be praised because they did it the liberal way!
She helped pass a bill—which is 100% part of liberalism. Maybe you don’t like the bill. Maybe the bill will hurt some people and have bad outcomes. But that’s part of liberal democracy.

There should be literally no circumstances, ever, where citizenship is can be revoked. If you literally sign up to fight for an opposing army in a war, then we should prosecute you for treason not revoke citizenship
Hell, I'm not convinced we should revoke citizenship at all.

But certainly not for being a twat online.

Friendly reminder for anyone who makes YouTube videos to make sure you disable auto-dubbing and whatever the "quality enhancements" are. These got enabled automatically after I already disabled them some weeks ago....

You’re almost never going to outcompete a dishwasher in efficiency — it reuses water, does a better job at cleaning, saves time. One of the biggest W’s in the history of technology.
People who want to get morally superior about how they hand-wash everything really gotta reckon with the fact that machine dish-washing uses considerably LESS water and emits considerably fewer greenhouse emissions than standard handwashing practices do.

(And you save a lot of time...)

This would be an incredible comedy premise though. A friend group realizes that one of them has been using the others for market research for a decade and they were all carefully selected/guided to be representative norms.
Imagining how tedious someone would be who meticulously grooms their friends to be a representative sample

One of the earliest-ever modern portrayals of Santa Claus features him gifting Union soldiers with a jumping-jack doll of Jefferson Davis dangling from a noose - as drawn by political cartoonist Thomas Nast.
