I admit I haven't looked in this thread for months and I'm a foreigner but at what point did Dems or whoever is posting in this thread swap from "we must not normalise trump" to "trump is normal, maybe even better than normal because he's SO stupid and reckless he can't do anything"?

This wasn't my take, hth

My take was "a lot of the loudest #resist people blatantly only care so much about Trump because he is rude, and would be neutral to positive on a Marco Rubio presidency resulting in most or all of the same policy outcomes"

a good read, I rec reading the whole thing (it's short)

quote:

This analysis suggests that Trump is the product not just of a fluke election or a racist and sexist backlash, but the culmination of late capitalism. This has profound implications for how we see Trump—and how we oppose him. We have to focus less on Trump’s personal flaws and more on the world that has enabled him. His habitual prevarications aren’t simply the result of his defective character, but an effective tactic. In a world where commerce and media (including social media) reward performance above truth telling, it’s not surprising that a figure like Trump rises to the top. Any moralistic condemnation of Trump is incomplete without acknowledging the institutions (notably the media) that both created him and allowed him to thrive.

The danger of a sweeping theory like postmodernism is that it can produce despair. After all, fighting something so pervasive as “late capitalism” is much harder than winning elections. For the Trump resistance, seeing him as a postmodern president opens up the dilemma that the best way to fight him in the short term might be to borrow some of his tactics. (It’s no surprise that another savvy performer-politician, Senator Al Franken, has emerged as a major resistance leader.) The danger is that by imitating Trump, we’ll only create a world where future Trumps will emerge.

But there’s a different way to look at Trump as a postmodern president. Paradoxically, even as Trump exploits today’s media, his politics of nostalgia show that his own followers want to escape the postmodern world. Trump’s appeal is based on his promise to return to an earlier, simpler era, where jobs were rooted in physical activity (manufacturing, coal mining) and the economy was governed by the imperatives of nationalist solidarity (“America First”) and not globalization. There is a genuinely utopian dimension to Trumpism, suggesting a widespread desire to reverse late capitalism. So the logical response to Trumpism is to counter him with someone who can truly challenge the economic status quo, rather than being a mere avatar for such hopes.

OK, I get a lot of people trying to explain away the whole tournament sequence, so let's get it all out of the way right now.

There is NO EVIDENCE that suggests that they're using a scoring system that's any different than the one that's built into the normal game. None at all. Nobody mentions any changes in the scoring, Corey and Haley don't appear to know of any bonuses for warps or "getting the star" or anything, and the movie has demonstrated such a lack of credibility to this point about these games that they haven't earned the right to just invent a whole new scoring format without the audience knowing about it.

There, can we stop arguing about it now?

I agree w that

I do think trump is a threat to the world order in a way bush et al weren't, Bush and co were a massive threat if you were part of the global underclass and so is trump, but trump brings with him a whole lot of destabilising white nationalist/fringe politics baggage that they didn't embrace quite so fully

Whether that's a bad thing or not depends on how accelerationist you are
I think it's funny how hes showing up the political order for the sham it is but I don't think anything good will come of it cause it'll make neolibs even more paranoid and neonazis will feel like theyre on top

Also he's got a busted brain and might do Korean war 2 which will make iraq look like a well intentioned intervention
