The Wild Cur

@ChristianHeiens Both parties drop the principles the second they have the power. The rules were always just the rules when it’s expedient not when they’re inconvenient.

@AdrianneCurry every four years they harvest us like a crop and go back to having dinner together in DC while strangers are fighting strangers on the internet at midnight. The puppet masters aren’t scared of our anger. It’s the product they profit from. They’d have to find a new product.

What would the puppet masters do with themselves if we refused to attack each other for them?

@ChristianHeiens Burke warned that the factions will mistake their ambition for the permanent things. We’re watching it in real time on both sides of the aisle. Neither side has anything to gain by standing n principle at this point. For better or worse long term (most likely worse)

He’s absolutely right. Republicans need to stop worrying about proceduralism and play to win. Here’s more than 20 seats that have already been redrawn or could be that have all shifted to the Right as a result of redistricting. We’re probably not going to flip all of them, but we can come close.

5/5 Power respects strength, not Ted Talks. Wild thought

4/5 The same regime that spent forty years threatening to close the strait folded after three months of consequences

1/5 Last week Iran asked America to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.

Last week Iran was begging the US to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. Today they’re attacking ships in it and then President Trump announces Navy escorts called “Project Freedom” Forty years of threats, three months of consequences, and suddenly Iran hands over the keys. Wild.

@aaron_renn Hard to build a Schengen zone with a country we’re currently threatening to annex. Timing is slightly off…

We’ve moved the wrong direction on Canadian integration. We should have built a US-Canada Schengen zone.

@ChristianHeiens Our Democracy means whatever they need it to mean today. They’ve turned democracy into a brand.

One of the biggest ironies about the modern Democratic Party is its attempt to monopolize a phrase (Our Democracy) that it actively stands against. The Democratic Party is actually one of the most anti-Democratic forces to have ever existed. Democracy rests on the rulers and the ruled recognizing each other as belonging to the same pre-political “we”. They have to see themselves as sharing a linked fate. In a democracy, losing an election isn’t the end of the world because the people who beat you are still *your people*. They may be wrong. They may even be idiots. But they are YOUR idiots. They’re still bound up in the same destiny as you are. That is not how the modern Democratic Party sees the country. Despite its name, it isn’t a democratic party at all. It’s a liberal managerial party that sees democracy as an obstacle, even as it invokes the word “Our Democracy” to justify their relentless assault on a unified American identity.

The bar for being human has dropped so low that coherent, edited writing gets flagged as AI, while unhinged rambling passes as authentic or “real”. Wild Thought.

@Sassafrass_84 I’ve always said that if you accuse people of heinous stuff you better be sure you’re correct. Bearing false witness is a detestable act.

This is the best video I have watched today. People need to take notes. God is watching.

@KammyDayDreamm @ChristianHeiens Try again.

@therealwildcur @ChristianHeiens Enough of the ai slop please

According to Leftists, Somalis, Mexicans, and Indians built a White Supremacist country.

Negotiating with Iran is like hiring an arsonist to watch your house while you’re on vacation.

Revolutionaries always look better in the brochure. In practice, it’s this. Wild thought.

@clerpatriot @Sassafrass_84 Take all the engagement you can get! (Just make sure you have friends that will keep you from getting ratio’d!

@Sassafrass_84 I never understand why ppl follow someone just to troll either

I mean...I'm just saying. I'll never understand why some people come to my posts to troll and get me to rage bait react. If I dont like somebody, I am definitely not going to your page. I am definitely not trying to harass you. I just hit that mute or block. Everybody wins. 🤷‍♀️

@AlexFinn The can hate AI. Smart people are figuring out ways to use it to make careers and money and to their advantage. It’s a tool. And as long as you view it that way it’s an asset.

The OpenAI marketing strategy the last month has been genius It's also been what America has needed They've leaned all the way into AI optimism and fun 80% of Americans hate AI. While a lot of AI leaders get on TV and say every job will be eliminated and we'll all go broke and die, OpenAI has rightly leaned into EMPOWERMENT instead of destruction And it's true. AI is all about empowerment. It is not a doomsday technology. It won't eliminate all developer jobs. It's a technology that allows ANYONE to build literally any idea they can think of. Is there immense economic disruption happening right now? Yes. Is it because of AI? No. In 2020 a lot of companies decided to spend recklessly as the entire world printed trillions of dollars. Unfortunately blaming the economic disruption on AI is an easy way for CEOs to excuse their outrageous spending mistakes while still boosting the stock price. It's a chicken shit move that has led to most Americans despising AI While irresponsible CEO's blame layoffs on technology, we have people in the government telling everyone that data centers are somehow using up all our water. An absolutely insane, false, and quite honestly laughable idea. If our leadership, from the government, to the CEO's, to the content creators leaned into the truth, which is AI is a radically positive and empowering technology and stopped spreading fear to excuse bad decisions and for clicks, the sentiment in America would quickly turn around Which is what we need, because China has 80%+ positive sentiment about AI. (We have 80%+ negative sentiment in America) If we continue being negative while China continues being positive, we will 100% lose our position as a global power AI is the great equalizer. It's a beautiful technology that allows ANYONE to build any life they want. If we want to win this existential race, we need to start acting accordingly

@elonmusk Apocalyptic fun.

Banger 😂

@ReginaReSpektor @ChristianHeiens Mitch McConnell blocked Merrick Garland for 9 months citing election year norms. Confirmed Amy Coney Barrett 8 days before an election. Same man. Republican.

@therealwildcur @ChristianHeiens Give me example of a republican

Democrats are going to increasingly shift from making legalized/procedural arguments about the VRA and “banning gerrymandering” to openly admitting that we’re engaged in a raw struggle for power. We’ve already seen glimmers of this, but I expect to see even more rhetoric about court packing, DC/Puerto Rico statehood, nuking the filibuster when they’ve got a trifecta, and essentially imposing Woke 2.0 via judicial or executive fiat the next time they’re in power. It’s unlikely that all of this is going to happen (at least all at once), but the rhetoric on the Left is going to increasingly become more zero sum and fatalistic because that’s how the party sees the state of American politics today.
