Analysis of nuclear standoffs usually assumes that both parties want to survive, but liberalism is a negative ideology and, like negative utilitarianism, still triumphs if there’s nobody left alive.

Hmm. Mostly agreed. A deontological orientation tends to push in that direction, and if anything modern libs have gone nearly full deontological of late.
No, I have not gone anti-vax. But I have seen others undergo this “mask and vax to save lives” to “nuke Russia” transition recently. And it makes no goddamn sense.
Libs now: sex is terrifying but Putin’s glorious invasion of Ukraine is righteous, invigorating and anti-US-imperialist!
The primary change in liberalism/progressivism since 1990 has been the transition from the attempt to expand the realm of human possibility and capability to just a few short years later defining the movement by what its adherents should be afraid of.
This cohesively explains the prudery, the judgmental approach to any non-algo relationships, and all the other interrelated aspects of the new lib/prog neo-ascetic synthesis.
Left wing Twitter is sort of an echo chamber of covid misinformation imo.
Weird lack of confidence in vaccines. Weird, quasi religious faith in masks. Extreme anxieties about children that aren't borne out by a sober look at the data.

Left Twitter (and the left in general) is more anti-vax now than the actual anti-vaxxers de facto, because they have more sway and believe restrictions should persist indefinitely.
But in reality all of this just due to the fact that they are incandescently enraged that their ideas for social change got rejected.
A lot of people seem to think a no-fly-zone is equivalent to that magical dome of protection from Centaurworld pic.twitter.com/zByi8m3ugW

And a no-fly-zone does absolutely fucking nothing against artillery, MLRS and most missiles, making it mostly moot. It’s a dangerous and mostly-useless gesture for any NATO power to undertake that.
Fat Acceptance acolyte: Weighing 400 pounds is natural and good. It’s just how my body wants to be. It’s healthy and nothing else is possible. HAES. HAES!
Brute reality: Hello, you’re going to die of a massive heart attack when you’re 48, your quality of life will be shit the entire time, and you’ll probably lose a limb or two before that.
Food consortiums: I see no problem here.
It’s just so fucking stupid the mook morons who claimed “Putin won’t invade Ukraine” when he’d already invaded it in 2014.
Just how do you get to be such a dumbass?
Wars generate chains of unintended consequences, so you know when they start (if you trigger them) never when they end. Their duration is also fat-tailed. https://t.co/PDvtDhp2qR

I guess the war in Ukraine will last 3-5 years. Unless it goes nuclear, then it’ll all be over very quickly. But 3-5 years is my current best estimate.
Watching the work video about bisexuality and now it's talking about Ethical Non-monogamy.
a video from my employer. Like I dont care what people do. I don't care if someone shows up at the company bbq with 10 wives. But why is my employer talking about it

Both liberals and conservatives care very much about what you do in the bedroom, the libs just want to regulate it “for your own good.”
I hate both sides.
