Centrist economists will really be like "you believe in predistribution? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, compensate the losers of structural economic changes with transfers" and then not compensate the losers of structural economic changes with any transfers

Translation: We will resolve his stance on the Jewish Question later.

7 Years Ago. The same Sinclair that got Kimmel pulled. youtube.com/watch?v=_fHfgU…

The right is pissed they won politically, but not culturally. I get it, they spent a decade convinced it was the libtards fault no one liked their shit and now they’re reckoning with the reality that they are much gayer dorks than they realized.

Nick Fuentes actually nailed Charlie Kirk's grift. 🎯🎯🎯👇

This feels like an entirely different take on inequality that could matter more and nobody talks about. I didn't even know it was measured.

Republicans simply aren't smart enough to realize that the LGBTQ/social angles of attack really only works if: A) You're not in power B) You're in power and the economy isn't stalling out They learned NOTHING after 2020.

If Founding Fathers were alive today: George Washington: No Labels centrist who is a conservative 90% of the time anyways Thomas Jefferson: Performatively woke, calls Monticello a “BIPOC Worker Co-op” Alexander Hamilton: Edgy anti-woke liberal provocateur, “🌐🏛️🦅” in bio

The White House Every day now feels like that moment the second plane hit the World Trade Center. Every. Fucking. Day. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

The Democratic establishment loves to say the party needs to move to the center, as if they're not already there. In New Jersey and Virginia, deep blue states, they managed to nominate two national-security Dems who aggressively stand for nothing beyond poll-tested platitudes. So

It’s weird to be able to trace the convolutions of Trump’s melting brain This rant about “animals shooting firemen off ladders in the inner cities” is about the 2025 Coeur d'Alene shooting, where a Trump supporter in rural Idaho set a fire to lure firefighters and ambushed them

A major story with youth politics is that moderate Irony-Poisoned c!s women are getting into Nick Fuentes clips on TikTok. Yesterday’s stupid unlovable chud is tomorrow’s median voter.

Looking at literally any fucking graph about the US

🧑‍🏫Nobel economists Milton Friedman and Paul Krugman probably didn't agree on much. Here is a quote from each of them on trade deficits.

I keep saying it: the Radical Right in the periphery is not like in the core. You can't read Bolsonaro through Trump or Modi through Le Pen. Conservative populism speaks to the Western left-behind. Outside the West, it speaks to a middle class fearful of the plebs.

A leftist's opinions on Maduro is a great litmus test for whether they actually believe in leftist values or whether their entire worldview is simply based around "west bad"

This is so accurate. I’ve been saying for ages: the political pathologies of radlibs and leftist ultras are actually the same. The symptoms manifest with superficial differences but the underlying disease is *identical*

Shape rotators have gotten too cocky. Having a surplus of mathematical IQ but a deficit of verbal IQ is as much of a shameful handicap that you should try to painstakingly overcome as the reverse. Inability to parse subtext, read between the lines, etc. is not a virtue.

The question no ideological lefty or righty can answer: If White people are so amazing/terrible, why did they invent the terror/wonder that is Communism?
