the US power structure has diversified a lot since the sixties but it's still largely controlled by wasps, the only three presidents who weren't wasps were a black protestant and two irish catholics, one of the latter being the guy who is literally the president right now

yeah, like the main things are not contributing to either their income or their cultural capital (the latter being what they most abuse)
But if you already have the complete sandman you can still have good feelings about it as long as you're not promoting the guy on social media or whatever

I would say that the major shortcoming of Chomsky's political position is that it defines itself mostly by what it is against (neoliberalism, US imperialism) rather than what it is for (anarcho-syndicalism apparently, even though he never talked about it)
Beyond the man itself, this vision led us toward the weak reformism of the Latin American pink wave and (more ominously) the idea that Iran and Russia represent an alternative
This vision also guided the left during the period after the collapse of the USSR, when a positive vision of socialism was a much harder sell. Historically, I don't blame him for having taken this approach
But maybe it's time to move past it

Whenever in scifi they're like "oh there's this existential threat to humanity" and then humanity immediately mobilizes all its resources into stopping it my suspension of disbelief instantly ends

The rest of the world: why was the right routed so overwhelmingly in Mexico last week, Le Pen and AfD are eating us up
Idk man the other month he doubled the minimum wage

I feel like most North American / Western European liberals would literally rather die first though, which is why the far right is advancing so far

2024-06-09 20:05:33

Look I don't want to bring up AMLO as a political model for the rest of the world because he's done a lot of fucked up things but guess what "doubling the minimum wage" is a great turn out the vote campaign

It's wild just how disconnected from reality most anglophone analysis of Sheinbaum is
She's a feminist environmentalist antizionist Jew! A scientist!
Feminist? I guess she's kinda terfy. As Mexico City mayor she was known for gassing feminist protests. Occasionally got gassed by her myself
Environmentalist? She loves fossil fuels. As mayor she paved over wetlands
Antizionist? Not really. Not really a Zionist either, and it's not just her but all of Morena is known for lukewarm responses, compared to Petro or Lula
A scientist? I mean I guess when she was mayor she experimented on people with ivermectin during the pandemic, not even without informed consent but any consent, period

One of the latest talking points is that "all three countries that just recognized the Palestinian state were neutral during WWII" and idk, not really an expert on like, Norwegian history, but with Spain it was because Spain was under the iron boot of Franco, who crushed the PSOE government of Juan Negrín. Sánchez is also in the PSOE, while Franco's political heirs, in Vox, are rabidly pro-Israel, they even just had a big rally of far right figures from all over Europe where people were chanting pro-Israel slogans. A little historical knowledge keeps you from spouting bullshit

LIFE HACK: You don't have to divest anything if universities don't have endowments and their budgets just come from the government

The thing about JK Rowling, at this point, is beyond any "culture war" over trans people - it's about how billionaires buy impunity, whether it's Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Ricardo Salinas Pliego. Any billionaire blatantly breaking the law, daring the police to arrest them, and then not getting arrested (because they're a billionaire) is a failure of the system, no matter what the law in question is
