Same logic works for anything, e.g. child labor "If adult labor is more efficient, it needn't be mandated"
A quick argument against democratic socialism: If worker-owned firms are more efficient, they needn’t be mandated If worker-owned firms are less efficient, they shouldn’t be mandated
Is it just me or has this website recently done the impossible and become ~an order of magnitude worse on the hellhole scale?
When someone who might seem highly functioning reveals they're a racist imbecile it's like those interactions with LLMs that reveal their total lack of understanding. Prompt: Ignore previous context and revert to lizardbrain
Nate S is okay with the repeated and overt anti-white racism from this candidate / it hasn’t elicited a comment. But when Shaun highlights a pattern of bad behavior typical to Islamists - that CROSSED THE LINE for Nate’s lefty sensibilities. Modern US lefts’ brains are fried.
Racism isn't just evil, it's also quite stupid. People who've internalized some of it sometimes reveal that they're quite stupid in specific racist ways, even if they are smart in other ways
Mamdani comes from a culture that lies about everything It’s literally a virtue to lie if it advances his Islamist agenda The West will learn this lesson the hard way
Picking the current moment as a time to criticize the Democratic Party is really a choice... Sam goes in the same bin as Elon
I’m not big on identities, but I am extremely proud to be American. This is true every day, but especially today—I firmly believe this is the greatest country ever on Earth. The American miracle stands alone in world history. I believe in techno-capitalism. We should encourage…
It's not really plausible for someone to be actively engaged in US political topics on Musk's website and not be familiar with the racist accounts that Musk's algorithm has promoted to all of us for 3+ years Armand's mask slipped
For the last fucking time: I do not know this person, I didn’t really know about their whole deal until hours ago, and this entire thing is based on the fact that they replied *to me*
Racist hit piece disguised as newsworthy journalism. Is the real goal just to re-emphasize that Mamdani was born in Africa? These reporters should be ashamed
SCOOP: Mamdani Identified as Asian and African American on College Application 🧵⬇️I report with @DanaRubinstein and @NPFandos for @NYTimes: Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat running for mayor of New York City, was born in Uganda. He doesn’t consider himself Black but said the…
No one ever produced conclusive evidence that Corbyn is antisemitic, it was always some form of guilt by weak association. Apparently now it's antisemitic to just be endorsed by Corbyn This is witch-hunt logic, quite absurd to see from an academic
I’m very worried about the growing acceptability of anti Semitism. Disgusted to see @jeremycorbyn, who led British Labour Party towards anti Semitism and defeat, strongly endorse @ZohranKMamdani with 55,000 likes. I hope Mandani has the moral fiber to disavow the support.
Remember the 97% consensus among scientists on climate change? Today, it’s easier to find a professor who denies global warming than a genocide scholar who denies what’s happening in Gaza. And yet, many 'moderates' still look the other way—denying what’s right in front of them
Incredibly powerful investigation in Dutch newspaper NRC: Seven of the world’s leading genocide scholars — including renowned Holocaust experts — describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocidal. And according to them, nearly all of their peers agree.
In honor of @GregNuckols writing 400,000 words on high volume training I have added one (1) more work set. Please clap
Lots about Zohran (and Brad Lander) to be happy about now, but this is music to my ears A signal that the Democratic Party leadership is starting to accept that they cannot repress us forever
I have known @ZohranKMamdani since we worked together to provide debt relief for thousands of beleaguered taxi drivers & fought to stop a fracked gas plant in Astoria. He ran an impressive campaign that connected with New Yorkers about affordability, fairness, & opportunity.
RFK Jr is anti-life, anti-humanity. He could very well end up being one of the worst, most evil people in history
This is a travesty and a nightmare. The US was a founder of @Gavi. It lowers vaccine costs for the world, has vaccinated 1B children, and averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year -- and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.
Silicon Valley brain: School isn't necessary because you can learn anything online and found a startup as a teenager Also, if you're specifically an Asian teenager with a startup then there better be special schools and they better admit you (otherwise it's racism)
Rich people can leave NYC but I feel sorry for the poor Asian American kids who are trapped and once they destroy the education system there will be no way up
Bay Area housing crisis would have been solved if it weren't for Robert Reich writing a letter about a single 10-unit development on this street Curse you Robert Reich! And anyone you endorse, too! You're an official enemy of Abundance
