I think the reason this rubs so many people wrong is because especially on the left a lot of y'all are used to being morally superior to the average person jyst for believing in the right stuff and this points out a behavioural moral flaw that threatens that superiority complex

@Srirachachau Nope. Couldn't care less and most people dont rother. At no point in my life did I ever feel guilt about eating meat. Infact I've just had a burger and if was lovely The animals that end up on my plate wouldn't get in the top 20 things I think about in a day

@thejohnhugar @Srirachachau How is it lazy guilt tripping? Man if you claim to value the lives of sentient creatures and are willing to sacrifice them for a fuckin hamburger with tons of non-meat alternatives on the market, then it is quite literally a cope to act like this. It's better if you just own it

SCOOP: 2028 Democrats are already starting to meet with Wall Street executives and those with ties to the finance world as they prepare for potential bids for the White House. And some on Wall Street are putting together a new finance heavy group for private listening sessions with contenders. Centerview Partners co-founder Blair Effron; Joshua Steiner, a partner at investment firm SSW Partners; former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, who is now chairman of the private-equity firm Warburg Pincus; Blackstonevice chairman Tom Nides; and former Oracle President Charles Phillips are among the executives that are part of the group Story w/ @McCormickJohn wsj.com/politics/elect…

@mattyglesias @davidsirota you're (maybe willfully) misunderstanding his point that the archetype broadly feeds directly into a lack of conviction on policy bc those ppl are far more concerned with their own ambition than they are about materially improving the lives of others

@RShepherd68 @unusual_whales Bro you're already mythologizing and claiming he has some greater purpose to make excuses for him and deflect from just saying with your chest that he's doing the same flagrantly corrupt shit (but far worse in Trump's case) that the Biden family did

By "you" I wasn't meaning to single you out, specifically. That was aimed at the vast majority of liberals, democrats and general Trump haters. Trump is far from perfect but he was or only option to shine light on corruption far greater than what you believe Trump is doing. With any luck, that's starting to happen but will people even believe their eyes anymore? I'm not so sure.

"In his second administration, President Trump’s family, including his son-in-law Jared Kushner and sons Eric and Don Jr., are expanding their business ventures, earning hundreds of millions of dollars and prompting fresh concerns about influence peddling and conflicts of interest," per PBS

@RShepherd68 @unusual_whales You're right except for the insinuation that I didnt care bc I did and will openly say the Biden family is corrupt even tho I did vote for him. Need more ppl that voted for Trump to do the same in the face of objectively more egregious influence peddling otherwise nothing changes

@col_janus @unusual_whales But...I have expressed no opinion one way or the other over your suspected Trump family influence peddling. Sure, I'll look at whatever evidence is there but the facts were there for to see with Biden and, not only did none of you care, but you defended them!

@L_1_AM @RShepherd68 @unusual_whales Perpetual yo-yo effect of ppl just wanting to spout their "oh, so NOW it's a problem when ____ does it!!" grievances Yall can get back to me when you actually want to problem solve but no one has the energy to try and deprogram ppl who've been trained to think/react like that

@RShepherd68 @unusual_whales I get the impulse for the right to callout the hypocrisy of libs not caring about egregious Biden family influence peddling, but it that wipes away your concern about more-egregious Trump family influence peddling you should question if you actually care about influence peddling

@mattyglesias Is this an argument _for_ big money in politics? It seems like you’re basically endorsing the private “groups” model here.

@benshapiro Hasans a moron for giving Ben a lifeline like this. No one cares about his schtick anymore and is desperate for pop-up interactions like this to stay relevant. Gotta have better twitter discipline than that

@karaokecomputer I guess to each their own, I used to think he was really funny but he's done and is doing so much material harm to everyone on the globe that I just have sorta lost the ability to see the humor anymore. Feels like a joke that's run its course and is now becoming grating

This is the easiest problem to solve if you genuinely believed that you are doing something immoral by using plastic cups at Starbucks. Literally just buy a thermos. That’s it. Boom. No more plastic weighing on your conscience.
Kat Rosenfield@katrosenfield

The Hasan Piker portion of this interview is understandably getting a lot of attention but can we also talk about how Jia Tolentino thinks that coffee go-cups are the ultimate moral evil but domestic terrorism should be allowed

@DKThomp Tbh I find it really difficult sometimes to know what to even say to those on the right that can be content as people behaving with that degree of shameful hypocrisy. I just always thought ppl had a baseline of integrity but I suppose their political kayfabe is exempt from that

I know it's a bit downmarket these days to point out Trump's crookedness and hypocrisy but MAGA simply cannot stop speedrunning the plot of Animal Farm, becoming everything they claimed to despise about the previous regime, except more so. Like, for four years, a central attack on Joe Biden was that Hunter was trading on the family name. They even launched a congressional investigation, iirc. Now they either say nothing or enthusiastically cheer on the president's kids as they run a cryptocurrency exchange, a bitcoin mining operation, a luxury real estate brand, and a social media company, all of which are getting money from foreign governments and sovereign wealth funds. Here Eric Trump is appearing on TV as an adviser to a company that just won a $24 million Pentagon contract! And Fox Business is like: "way to go, Eric, we're proud of you, you really knocked this one out of the park."

So happy for everybody involved. Hard work paying off.

Julian Casablancas: "I really think conservatives and progressives need to come together and do a non-corporate consensus populist party to join to fight the real billionaire gang agenda villains. We can fight about abortion and guns later, but let's just focus on, you know, no corruption and democracy and... "I just think people should be able to be rich without harming people. You need basically separation of private wealth and public state power. So like if you want to be a billionaire, the only influence you can have is voting, but you can't deceive people or, you know, own [a] newspaper." (via @SubwayTakes)

@mattyglesias Rare Yglesias agree but from a welfare angle; not whatever ideological bent he's citing. We need to tax pet food primarily to dampen demand for new pets to curb the further creation of unregulated & inhumane breeding operations

@hutchinson @wulynn15 It's actually completely humiliating for a recent, former presidential candidate and VP to be <10 pts ahead of the next contender in what is effectively a name recognition poll this early on. Your point does nothing to suggest you're correct or that your detractors are misguided
