@tsjatismewat @Alejandro_SocEU So what happened?
English
@Alejandro_SocEU They won 3 elections, spare me your enormous confirmation bias

The Danish model, they told us. A catastrophe

19 percent for the Social Democrats... oof.

@actsmaniac Neoliberals should at least support more immigration
English
the sensible moderate position:
- regulated capitalism
- modest welfare state
- balanced immigration policy

@Dang_Kuo @Eurofedmonarch The conditions of democracy improve via democracy, and not any other way
English
@Eurofedmonarch Besides, his modernization and improvement of living standards during his rule in ROC(Taiwan) eventually paved the way to democracy due to further reforms by later presidents Chiang Ching-Kuo & Lee Teng-hui.

@MartinDTurner @AmericaElige It's complicated

Interaction bait - how would you (yes, YOU, the reader) describe my personal politics.

@LinkofSunshine No it wasnโt because wages also grew. Itโs just a matter of making that known and felt

Ultimately the failure of Bidenomics was simply betting against this

Question finally asked explicitly!

@souljagoyteller sociology departments these days are basically full of Marxists who spend their whole day advocating for communism so it makes sense

@animegfz Sci hub, annaโs archive, free online pdfs, or email the authors. Only one or two times have I been unable to access a paper after exhausting these methods

@JihadalHaqq Consumption isnโt the problem, but it is a problem
English
I agree that consumption is not the problem, industry is, but there is no way to maintain contemporary meat intake without industry, period. The meat industry is substantially responsible for emissions, and that's a matter of fact, not a matter of who's indigenous or not
๐ช๐ฉธ Saturn the Vampire Slayer๐ฉธ๐ช@satrns_nebula
Ppl have been eating meat since the dawn of time. Indigenous communities eat meat in a non wasteful way. Industry is the problem not the consumption itself this is a dumb take.

@WiredPyromaniac @rafal_blaszak @BarbedBeggar Okay, that is accurate. I looked into the numbers. You are right. My apologies.
English
@changingstar0 @rafal_blaszak @BarbedBeggar because you arent using the equivalent calculations. You're taking the systemic aspects of farming to arrive at the number, you aren't using the systemic aspects of AI
English
Guys (vegans), you don't have to defend ai when people bring up water consumption. Two things can be bad at the same time. It's so easy to compare them without saying some parts of generative ai are fun or useful just use your brain please i beg of you

@GhostCoase Conservatives have nobody but themselves to blame for this

"90 percent of politically relevant social science articles leaned left 1960โ2024, and the mean political stance of every social science discipline was left-of-center every year during the period. Second, all disciplines showed leftward movement between 1990 and 2024...".

Jim Manzi's new Theory & Society is an important contribution to the literature on the ideological skew of academia. It's an inherently difficult methodological task, but he does it carefully with many robustness checks. link.springer.com/article/10.100โฆ

@WiredPyromaniac @rafal_blaszak @BarbedBeggar How is it harming the argument to show that when one eats a single hamburger, it actually took hundreds of more gallons of water than if they queried chatgpt hundreds of times?
English
@changingstar0 @rafal_blaszak @BarbedBeggar Then don't compare it to things that aren't comparable, you're only harming your own argument

@bloodstreamrunz @LIgfried @2kewl4sk0ol @nixonlover4 @justMizuyuki If there is such an obvious way to meaningfully reduce costs lower than life imprisonment, somebody should be able to explain it.
What is the benefit of getting rid of them?

the median american voter is actually hitler what the fuck is this
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias
18 percent of people say itโs morally wrong to have billions of dollars
English
@WiredPyromaniac @rafal_blaszak @BarbedBeggar Itโs just trying to show people that when they eat a burger how much water went into it. Itโs for people to rationalize themselves
English
@changingstar0 @rafal_blaszak @BarbedBeggar The graph is fucking stupid because it compares two years of water use to an hour of television. It's a biased graph
English
@TAMMYSZN This is such an embarrassing response; hopefully not emblematic of the rest of his work
English
@hecubian_devil The proxy that most people are wrong about things is right but we should not let that translate into the heuristic that being disliked in and of itself is a moral good, which it often is
English
Sure, when *necessary* you need to be able to bear being disliked.
but a bigger problem for the Left at this point is weโve developed a vulgar belief in the converse: many of us think that being disliked is strong evidence that youโre courageous and moral, so we seek it out
