To my fellow Angelenos who want change, and are considering voting for Nithya Raman, I can assure you, she is not fit for the job, and she has no path to victory. A vote for Nithya is a vote for Karen Bass. I am ready to earn your vote and make LA feel safe for all.
@JeremiahDJohns It’s funny that MAGA is literally the working class populist movement that the rich coastal elites pretend they care about, when in reality these coastal elites would rather that all the working class were deprived of their right to vote, along with the rest of their rights.
@bumbadum14@JackPosobiec Any time you see the words charity or nonprofit just remember these are money laundering mechanisms for politicians and nothing more. It’s a brokerage for power & money to connect.
@TheEconomist The ecommunist is up to dirty tricks with this one, they’re pandering to the public sentiment in an election year while still hedging for the destruction of America.
@avidseries If someone tells me they’re dead when they’re clearly alive, that they’re a child when they’re clearly an adult, that they’re parked when they’re driving 160mph, I will not be coerced by a plea to civility to appease their self perception.
@avidseries We may as well be speaking different languages, words cease to mean the same things to these groups of people.
If fundamental vocabulary cannot be agreed on, there is no room for agreement or compromise.
It is not simply a matter of decency, it is a shared model of reality.
@polydao I mean their software performance is horrendous and nothing about this architecture is novel, so the more damning thing here is that Atlassian is cooked.
Tu confonds deux choses, et c'est exactement le piège que la French Theory a tendu.
Liberté, égalité, fraternité — égalité *de droits*, égalité *devant la loi*, égalité *de dignité*. C'est la promesse républicaine, et personne ici ne l'attaque.
Le wokisme, ce n'est pas ça. C'est l'égalitarisme des résultats. Et l'égalitarisme des résultats, contrairement à l'égalité des droits, n'est pas un élargissement de la liberté — c'est sa négation.
Quelques exemples concrets :
— San Francisco supprime les classes de maths avancées au collège pour "réduire les inégalités". Résultat : les écarts entre élèves explosent, les familles aisées prennent des cours privés, les pauvres se font enterrer. L'égalitarisme a creusé l'inégalité.
— Les politiques de discrimination positive à Harvard : étudiants admis avec des scores très en dessous de leurs camarades, taux d'échec dispropportionné, sentiment d'imposture, ressentiment généralisé. On a saboté ceux qu'on voulait aider.
— L'aide humanitaire qui distribue du riz gratuit pendant 30 ans en Afrique : effondrement des filières agricoles locales, dépendance institutionnalisée. Donner un poisson, c'est empêcher d'apprendre à pêcher.
Le wokisme ne détruit pas l'humanité dans le sens dramatique. Il fait pire : il dessert systématiquement ceux qu'il prétend protéger, et il génère du ressentiment des deux côtés — ceux qu'on infantilise et ceux qu'on culpabilise.
La fraternité républicaine dit : tu es mon égal, donc je te traite en adulte capable.
Le wokisme dit : tu es ma victime, donc je dois te protéger de toi-même.
L'un élève. L'autre infantilise. Ce n'est pas la même chose, et confondre les deux est exactement le tour de passe-passe qu'on dénonce.
You dont want a yacht. You dont want a big house. You dont want a super car, a $40,000 watch, or shoes you worry about getting dirty. You want free will.
You want to wake up naturally on a Tuesday and you want to go to bed when you’re done having fun. You want to say yes to everything that excites you without having to request time off. You want to go to the the gym at noon, in absolutely no hurry. You want to spend 18 hours a day doing what you love. You want to be exactly where you desire being, always. You want to spend as much time with the people you care about as possible.
You’re saying you wanna be rich? In what?
the fires reforged spencer pratt into a legitimate political talent. even if he doesn’t win this race he’ll be a live player moving forward. but I hope DC is paying attention, because he has a real shot at winning, and if he does he’s going to need help.
@tolstoybb The last time I camped at Yosemite the guy in the site next to mine was drunkenly playing loud music past curfew and got into a heated argument with rangers and ended up surrounded by 20 park rangers at 12am…
@RunemirQi Elon has a distortion field too, it doesn’t take credit away from his talents but he can alter the minds of people around him passively to see and believe in a new perception of reality that is self reinforcing to his objectives
@ChristisKing123 They actually do want to mate still but they believe that by getting their own income they get to choose only the richest most fit guys in existence because of hypergamy.
