disagreements rather than smoothing them

**Why this works:**
- Independent responses capture initial diversity
- Discussion resolves contradictions and reveals edge cases
- Preserved disagreements inform the user better than false consensus

Democratic voting only works for clear binary choices.

it's true that nothing has died of its contradictions, but it's also true that people try to destroy things all the time because of their contradictions

🇪🇺🇫🇷🇩🇪“Macron est effectivement un partenaire fatigant, souvent versatile et non dénué de contradictions, mais il ne fait aucun doute que c’est un Européen convaincu. Et surtout il a souvent eu raison concernant l’avenir de l’Europe ces dernières années.”
Allo Berlin ? “Nous devrions écouter Macron”

Can you explain why this is the case? Why someone would not understand basic facts about their own condition or intersex in general? Can you explain the contradictions and inconsistencies?

To be clear obsession with identities and excessive lying is common in autism

The liberals there were radicalized by the sharpening contradictions in their local area.

They SAW the #gestapo at work. In person. Not just on the news.

And then those on the left had systems in place to combat it, so they joined.

Wasn't by "voting blue no matter who".

any Dem is better than any Republican and will have my vote accordingly; Gavin Newsom is a real freak I hope doesn't get the nomination. no contradictions here.

“We must abolish ICE and the entire DHS. We must proclaim a general amnesty to all undocumented immigrants currently residing in America. We must decriminalize unauthorized immigration. And we must enshrine freedom of movement in the constitution.” www.liberalcurrents.com/abolition-am...

I like contradictions. We have never attained the infinite variety and contradictions that exist in nature. Tomorrow I shall contradict myself. That is the one way I have of asserting my liberty, the real liberty one does not find as a member of society.

What is striking is that Mike Duggan again talks about problems and them #Detroit as if the city is in some other state.

How does media not challenge this guy in his many contradictions?

He is just a min-me version of the president.

Le congres ne rentre pas dans le details. ils essaient de mettre Bondi devant ses contradictions.
les representants accusent Bondi de ne pas collaborer.
ils ont vu une partie des docs pendant 4 heures et ont vu les noms de plusieurs officiels.
Trump y est nommé 1 000 000 de fois.

The revolution starts when the contradictions of capitalism become sharp enough as to spark a mass uprising of the working class.

All we can do in the meantime is build dual power systems, unreliant on the state, and to raise class consciousness.

"We spend our lives chasing an impossible perfection, unwittingly participating in a system that keeps us feeling unworthy.

Liberation thus means making space for imperfection, contradictions, messiness, and the unsavoury parts of ourselves (and others)."

"MAGA’s public posture is collapsing under the weight of its own contradictions. MAGA thrives on provocation, but panics when that provocation carries consequences. The MAGA coalition wants the thrill of trolling without the cost of being held responsible."

The left "fails" until the contradictions of capitalism become sharp enough to produce a mass uprising of the working class.

All I can do is work to raise class consciousness, and build systems that are liberatory and will replace the collapsed fascist state when it happens.

Work with us, or don't

Wonderful interview with Harvey. Starts off with a great reflection on the importance of geography on Marxist political economy and (close to my heart) touches on the importance of studying finance to understand capitalism and the role of the Fed / central banks in addressing its contradictions.

“Contradictions”? That’s Newspeak for LIES. American media needs to stop softening their language when talking about tRump’s crimes.

Getting super serious about things which exist only as imaginings is simultaneously utterly irrational and one of the most human things ever, and I don’t know if that’s beautiful or messed up.

Lotta contradictions up in this space today (where “this space” is my head)

I wanted to add a part about how it's more difficult to navigate art as progressives since we're dealing with a lot more contradictions, especially if you're trying to make a living out of it, but I got lost. Will probably try to develop further but prob not in a thread.
