Edit: I should say though, as much as I hate May the 4th as a concept, and Margaret Thatcher, I don't think you should accuse Star Wars nerds as being Margret Thatcher fans. It's a bit like accusing stoners of celebrating Hitler's birthday because they get really stoned on 4/20

I misread this is as Police Academy Valentine's Day, and while the originals are pretty problematic, I think there's enough there we could tweak to make it work.

the recent viciously anti-intellectual turn of the left, which is basically coming out of social media bubbles centered around organized abuse and hysterical doomsaying, is not good news for anyone, least of all the left
yeah, I'll be honest, I think the form of "leftism" that's taking shape among a lot of very young people isn't particularly progressive, or even very left. it's a series of social signals combined with an almost reactionary anger at institutions twitter.com/tx_pros/status…
there's a weird nostalgic element to it, a strong sense that earlier generations had it better, but it's incoherent because it's not like they're pushing for a return to the politics of clinton or reagan or nixon. it's really just nihilism and anger, because that memes best
often it reminds me of the MAGA right more than the progressives of my youth. those progressives believed you could analyze the world, make policy, and make things better. but a lot of the zoomer leftists are almost violently angry at the idea of that kind of bit-by-bit analysis
what concerns me is that a lot of very young "leftists" are exhibiting a pretty similar dynamic: the mob tempting them to indulge in their anger and despair at the expense of thinking (and especially on social media, where that kind of indulgence has a competitive boost)

What's his deal? A Biden stan arguing that inflation and rents aren't as bad as they seem? Equating leftists to bring the new MAGA certainly isn't going to endear him to sympathetic voices on Twitter that's for sure.

Oh, it's the same guy who recently went "Why is everybody still complaining about high rents, look the curve is back down again!", seemingly not realizing that he posted a graph of the the rent growth instead of absolute cost. So all it really showed is that rents are currently no longer increasing, but they are still way the gently caress higher than they were two years ago.

https://twitter.com/whstancil/status/1729294638438060435

In conclusion, he is indeed very dumb.
