my modest disagreement is that i think it is important to signal virtue even if, privately, you are a piece of shit. performing decency is an important part of maintaining the norm that decency is part of a well ordered society.
you are SUPPOSED to signal virtue. The actual argument, such as it exists, is that people are signaling virtue while not actually being virtuous. But you are supposed to signal virtue and BE VIRTUOUS.
Really was one of the dumbest and most harmful things possible for “virtue signaling” to become some kind of epithet. Sending externally visible signals that you are engaging in pro-social behavior is normal, natural, and good, it’s how society works. Other people can’t read your fucking mind.

Rep. Dick Centrist (D) has died at 120. He leaves behind an impeccable record of voting for every war since Korea. He will be replaced by Patty Hitler (R,) a genetic clone of Adolph Hitler.

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable.

More free time? Yes.
More peace of mind? Oh my, no.
Estimates for violent mortality among pre-agricultural hunter-gathers, as Azar Gat notes in War in Human Civilization, were *extremely* high, in the range of 15-25% (higher for males, lower for females). 1/

As an anthropologist, if the only thing I ever did all day was remind people that before the privatization and commodification of land humans had way more free time and peace of mind, it would still not do a dent in how deep this myth has burrowed into people's colonized minds like a parasite
Liberalism is pretty good actually, it's why we have the time and peace of mind enough to even be having these discussions. Every tangible step towards civil rights is founded on the stability brought about under liberalism

Good thread here. Very confusing why, after many years of people underestimating the power of slings, people now insist that they were the equivalent of an ancient sniper rifle.
I have a few things to add because there's a lot of weird Hebrew words in 2 Samuel 17 whose meaning is not very clear.

Spring. I like spring. Soon it will be summer, and I can't wait.
Is strange though, just a handful of years ago I was an autumn person who really disliked summer, now I'm looking forward to it do much...

Fascism is now in the algorithms, the neural pathways, the social interactions. How did we fail to see all this? “We wanted to see Trump in terms of his absences, so that our way of seeing the world would go unchallenged,” Timothy Snyder writes.
What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist?
Trump takes the tools of dictators and adapts them for the Internet. We should expect him to try to cling to power until death, and create a cult of January 6th martyrs.

Withholding Luigi's manifesto on grounds that it might inspire copycats was always disingenuous because prosecutors are going to introduce it as evidence anyway. The truth is media didn't want to anger their law enforcement sources
