Centrist Chanting

Thus the centrist chant of “Everything is impossible!” Nothing can be any way other than exactly as it is. Any change will, in their mind, destroy everything. (Where “destroy everything” means raise their taxes slightly or elevate someone else in relative status compared to them.)

This is just how I discovered I wanted to be Galactic Overlord, as it happens!

And the libs invested everything in destroying the great peril (sarcasm very much intended) that was PornHub, yet you hear hardly a peep about Facebook’s imperiling of the entire republic.

Of course not. The liberals have a desperate and furious fear of sex but Facebook is something they all use (so how could that be harmful?).

Even if they often write good stories, the NYT is very much the paper of the plutes and the educated and it can’t help but reflect their priorities. They all have money, trust funds and rent is taken care of, so they find it difficult to care about a single mother struggling in Paducah.

Journalism was far better when it wasn’t all Ivy Leaguers and trust-funders.

That bothers me, too. Lockdowns, when done correctly, work. In the US, that was unlikely to ever happen and in fact did not.

The arguments against them are not that they are scientifically unsound, but rather that they cause enormous psychological and economic harm when done for more than a month or so. That should never happen.

Really good thread. It is weird how when you observe that many many men are paralyzingly lonely, you get “WHY DO YOU HATE WOMEN YOU RAPE CULTURE APOLOGIST????”

Women being far more choosy than men, algorithmic distortion, and many men being total shitweasels, means loneliness for life for many (and not just men).
