Same racist that argued that reconstruction was “objectively bad” and the idea that blacks deserved something better than Jim Crow was “communism.”

This is a popular meme format among people with aphantasia… I’m assuming that’s the missing context here.

To a liberal, expressing solidarity with others begins and ends with pressing the blue button… even when that button does 99% of what the red button does.

So, basically just a protection racket at this point…

The Yard Sale model makes me think it doesn’t even work on paper.

This tracks… “middle class” is an income band encompassing those who fall between 2/3 and 200% of median. The US is a terribly unequal society where something like 40% of the population falls within this band, with high degrees of wage compression near/at subsistence-level… the distribution of those within the technical "middle class skew to the low end of the range. Because poverty is best conceived in relative versus absolute terms, it’s fair to say that the “Middle America/the average person” in the US lives in poverty.

I’ve never seen anything from Thom Yorke that indicates he’s a Zionist… This looks like random shit-talk from a nobody.

It reads more like: “Faith in proletarian subjects and utopian solutions” devoid of ethical considerations…

Using the science of ethics to inform your political position about the real world…

In invocations of settler colonialism, Berkowitz hears progressives giving up on effecting change through political means. “The left has replaced its faith in proletarian subjects and utopian solutions with a view of the Indigenous as innocent and oppressed. It’s an ethics rather than a politics.”

Cartesian Speciesist: broke.

Cartesian Misanthrope: bespoke.

To be fair, he’s talking about uniformity of parts/not fit, but I worked for a place that made parts for NASA spacecraft and the spec was .002”. Apparently this truck is going to cost millions of dollars…

Once you’ve south of Indianapolis, you’re in the south.

Where “inland northern English” is dominant… no southern drawl allowed.
