are you not paying attention to the increased censorship in the west and the current mass jailing of student protestors?

yeah it's not feeling good that fascist policies continue ratcheting regardless of which party holds the power

And it isn't... I truly do not believe this is a lesser of two evils type of situation. I think about what conditions do I want to be organizing under, in the next four years. You can look at both of these individuals oppositionally as well, depending on what issue you have. But I would rather - even in places of stark disagreement - I would rather be organizing under the conditions of Biden as an opponent on an issue, than Trump, who is not - he seeks to dismantle American democracy. And I am taking that, personally, very seriously. Because we will not be able to organize for any movement towards anything, if we are facing the jailing of dissidents. I mean, this is the kind of authoritarianism that he threatens...

Its wild watching liberals do a instant pivot on previously held beliefs and rigorously defend something that they were railing against years, months, even minutes before.

The bad thread suddenly thinks a Tiktok ban is good because those perfidious Chinese are manipulating the algorithm to make people mad! Don't draw parallels to the corporate media its not the same for **reasons**. And how dare you accuse our politicians of doing this for censorship, where is your proof beyond all the videos of them admitting its about Palestine!

We should be allowed to bully these people off the internet

"Manipulating the algorithm to make people mad". Again...these people apparently can't comprehend the fact that people have real convictions, and that people have a right to be angry about what's happening in Gaza.

Right, and it's so alien to me that I don't even know how to respond to people who think like that.

Remember Sotomayor is too young to retire


quote:

U.S. Rep. Donald Payne Jr., a Democratic congressman representing New Jersey's 10th Congressional District, has died after being hospitalized earlier in April, Gov. Phil Murphy announced Wednesday


On April17, Payne's office said that the congressman had been hospitalized earlier in the month after suffering a "cardiac episode based on complications from his diabetes last week." Prior to that, his staff had said he had a "good" prognosis and the expectation of a "full recovery."

This is why we're not facing eternal uniparty rule or whatever, but rather the wheels flying off.

History in a Post-­ Truth World: Theory and Praxis gets into it, as does THE ENIGMA OF SOCIAL HARM: The Problem of Liberalism but, briefly:

Contemporary liberalism culturally is teetering as it grows less and less able to deny the harm it causes. Democrats' legitimacy, and that of the system (since they are the "reasonable" option that is supposed to prevent people from giving up/active opposition) hangs entirely on that cultural appeal to harm reduction. Gaza is a perfect example, cited by the authors (writing in 2022) as a distant possibility, that might, someday, cause Democrats and the other western Centre-Left parties to brutally crack down at home on dissent caused by harm happening elsewhere. This basically destroys the parties themselves, because their only appeal in lieu of material conditions, which was given up in 1968 and more definitively at the End of History, is to do less harm. When it's revealed that they're causing harm in Gaza, and then they harm those protesting it, they enter a state of irrecoverable crisis as their legitimacy disintegrates.

Which... could be pretty wild.
