People celebrate and ascribe virtue to the powerful. They want proximity to power. At the same time people despise and detest the weak, and believe the weak are morally repugnant. This explains a lot about politics and social dynamics, both inside the US and around the world.

Imagine if the candidates who actually won the popular vote by millions—imagine if their supporters got endless coverage like this. These guys get endless fawning coverage because they are perceived as the “real americans,” whose conspiracy theories must be taken seriously

A group of 30 House liberals is urging President Biden to dramatically shift his strategy on the Ukraine war and pursue direct negotiations with Russia, the first time prominent members of his own party have pushed him to change his approach to Ukraine. wapo.st/3f2yum6

This study🤯Tracked tax records from Florence, Italy in 1427 (before Leo DeVinci was born) and matched them with descendants in 2011. Descendants of the richest decile are 12% wealthier than descendants of the poorest decile. Wealth inequality inherited across 600 years!

Generals = higher turnout, much more representative, more engagement.

Midterms are fundamentally different than generals, I think it would be a mistake to think anything that happens in 22 has any bearing on 24. Recall just over a decade ago Democrats got obliterated in midterms to win the Presidency again in 12.

Political narratives often have no basis in reality. Many voters have beliefs that are likewise ideologically nonsensical. Which is why it is flawed to think a shift in messaging can permanently win over a large segment of voters.

This guy’s posts have been blowing up so I had to reply. You don’t enslave an ethnic group for centuries and then impose another century of formal apartheid on them and then go pikachu that they have higher crime rates. This is also the reality of crime in South Africa.

A reminder of just how close slavery is in a society that had slavery longer than it has had freedom. Also: What an amazing life. washingtonpost.com/obituaries/202…

This doesn’t mean that poc will live great lives in the west, or that things will be peachy everywhere. It just means that the full cultural goals of cons are impossible to reach in the current political-institutional setup due to major decisions made over the past century.

Now the political and economic systems may become more inefficient, more social strife, less technological innovation—as the reactionary forces attempt to make cultural changes that won’t work in the current political framework.

The western culture war was finished in 1945. By standing against and defeating Germany, the west set itself as its opposite: multiculturalist. Relinquishing their colonies under Soviet pressure only hastened the transition. Conservatives can only slow, not stop multiculturalism
