that is why i posted this in response to u tbc, it wasn't me saying "here is scott arguing why actually ... marx is wrong?? or that we shouldn't politic?" it was me trying to illustrate how deeply the whole frame of "maybe other people are actually directly in irreconcilable conflict with us and we need to win these conflicts rather than explain facts to them" is very foreign to this subculture, to the point that this needs to be pointed out and analyzed carefully. and while ppl have increasingly realized they need to be conflict theorists to varying degrees it's never going to come naturally

@tenobrus She gifted it last time and I would feel bad having her rebuy it, and I personally refuse to buy it after they banned my first account for absolutely no reason. It is more honorable to e-beg than renege a promise to yourself…

@tenobrus Come on now, if this essay was truly “Scott Alexander discovers that disputes may be about power rather than correctness”, then it certainly would not open on Marx and then stick with Marx throughout. He practically labels the entire illogical frame “Marxist”.

@4xCaliban arguing "against"?? it's not arguing against anything ! it's scott coming to terms with the fact that there are frames in which disputes are genuinely not about disagreements about facts but rather about who can win and who can't

@tenobrus Marx is not a “conflict theorist.” Marx’s entire project is against the exact sort of Proudhonian moralism that Scott Alexander is proposing here. Not to mention the entire conception of State-as-diseased body that much be corrected does not correspond to historical materialism.

@bulgarbrutalit2 In a world where liberal democracies could maintain coherent long-term industrial policy, nuclear would be vastly superior. Alas…

Unpopular opinion: Solar energy is better than nuclear energy. It's significantly cheaper ($55/MWh vs $110/MWh), and is continuing to dwindle in price (note the logarithmic scale of the attached graph). It's also much easier to build and implement.

@tenobrus Given the general pattern, would SWEs steeped in, uh, the San Franciscan Ideology not constitute the revolutionary subject should they actually recognize themselves as such? It sure feels that way to me.
