There are a million reasons to ruin things.
centrists/liberals do and say a lot of dumb poo poo but seeing a lot of socdems who are not really all that radical in the grand scheme of things posture about their self-perceived superiority is kinda dispiriting. unless you are trying to violently overthrow the government you're going to need persuade a lot of them to join our side and not necessarily dunk on them at every opportunity

yeah but because the prevailing conditions of late-stage capitalism are that there is an overabundance of accumulated capital and nowhere profitable to invest it they can pretty much expect the money to keep flowing forever, long after everyone is dead and the world is running on AI

Well, in the UK it was created by aristocrats who had at least some sense of public service and noblesse oblige. In the US it was the work of South Carolina plantation owners

Somehow the platform that allows Nazis to openly discuss the racial superiority of white people but shadowbans you for tweeting "gently caress you" at said Nazis is struggling to sell itself off or bring in new revenue.

i feel like the poo poo on twitter and Gab.ai is nothing compared to nazis legally selling their poo poo on Amazon (cuz Muh Freeze Peach) for YEARS now.

Relistening to the episode, I'm reminded of a huge hurdle, convincing liberals that Trump is not the problem. When confronted with the notion that removing Trump wont fix things, the typical response is stuff like "at least we wont be leaking secrets to Russia" or "we handle Mike Pence when he's president". I really don't think people understand just how much ire and interest is going evaporate *overnight* once Trump is gone. Hell, I'd be willing to bet the Film Roberts of twitter have their breathless "Thank you Mike Pence for restoring honor to the White House" pieces already written.

Paying attention to Megan McArdle, I noticed one thing she likes to write about is kitchens and kitchen appliances, so the Chapo line about marble countertops vs fire-proofed public housing is on the nose.

I have fairly strict requirements for my kitchen, and I’m willing to pay for the extra quality I demand. I have thus spent the last few months immersing myself in the principles of kitchen renovation. I have dithered over the eternal metaphysical quandaries (“Is the white kitchen really ‘a timeless classic’?”) and the competing theories of layout geometry (triangles, rectangles, zones, hyperbolic paraboloids). I have engaged in multiple Oxford-Union-level debates on a single proposition: ‘‘Resolved: We shall have a wall oven.’’

yea I'm genuinely a little afraid of the #resistance because I am 100% sure most of them would abandon the issue as soon as Trump got impeached and Pence took over, and that creepy ghoul is way more able to work with his fellow ghouls to make it legal to shoot gays from helicopters and beat muslims to death with the jawbones of asses.
