“Hey man remember the Women’s March and how those pussyhat wearing bitches didn’t save us” - every male leftist who spent 2016-2020 yelling about wine moms being cringe

It's undeniable proof that some people aren't interested in actually doing anything, merely in complaining and feeling superior

It's the aesthetics of radicalism without any realistic theory of change

Oh the disdain had nothing to do with the quality of their analysis and *everything* to do with them being “moms”

The left always attacking any problem with their particular hobby horse as a way to discredit something that will move the needle in the right direction is exhausting. The goal is incremental improvement. There is no perfect solution. Let your side win even if you don’t win.

Great idea. @thebjps.bsky.social has started a "letters to the editor" format that is similar. Publish small points that should be in print, but don't need a full paper. In philosophy, there are way too many full papers that could have been a page. In econ seems they just never see the light of day.
