I get why so many liberals are fundamentally disdainful of democracy these days—it’s because liberalism is exhausted. It’s out of answers.

Liberalism won, it delivered the world it promised, and people still aren’t content. They’re not satisfied. So the people must be wrong.

We are unfathomably richer than our ancestors. Output per capita in America today is on the order of 900 times greater than before the invention of agriculture, about ~225 times higher than in 1 CE, and about the same (225 times) higher than Europe in 1000 CE.

If measurable productivity were really the greatest object of human society, then we shouldn’t just be a little bit happier than people in the distant (or even recent!) past—we should be *ecstatic*. We should *already* be living in a utopian age of overwhelming contentment. We should be *currently* experiencing a kind of paradise.

The Kingdom of Heaven, as liberalism conceives of it, has already been made real on Earth. We are living in their Eden, and 20% of people are depressed. We’ve stopped reproducing ourselves. We’re overwhelmingly dissatisfied with our governments, anxious about our economies, and pessimistic about the future.

If you talk to rational liberals, you can usually get them to acknowledge the ways in which humans are wired not to appreciate absolute levels of wealth—the hedonic treadmill is a well-documented phenomenon. The evolutionary reasons why humans are wired to attend more closely to *relative* prosperity instead of absolute prosperity are obvious. They’ll usually admit this.

And the conclusion, insanely, always comes back to something like “isn’t it unfortunate that people can’t appreciate how well-off they are? We’ve delivered well-being, people just don’t recognize it.”

This is an obvious, ludicrous contradiction! Who determines the well-being of the people if not the people themselves?!

I want to be clear; I’m not making an appeal to RETVRN. I don’t believe things were better in the poor old days. But that’s rather my point; delivering human contentment is not as simple as turning the dial up or down on the Output Machine. Meaning, security, and satisfaction are actually hard problems that demand specific and well-evidenced answers.

Liberal elites’ disdain for everything that can’t be so simply measured and optimized is not evidence of their entitlement to rule over irrational masses, but instead proof of *their* irrational commitments to their ideological ends in denial of the reality of what drives human happiness. They purport to be rational, but this blinkered drive to Produce More is anything but.

You may laugh at count binface, but his “maximum voting age of 80” is a far more serious policy for fixing the country than literally anything offered by any other political party.

Czyli nie ma zasady "albo-albo" dla lekarzy, kontraktoza i odklejone godziny pracy zostają, "salary cap" taki, żeby można go obejść, konkretnej ustawy nie przygotowali, a elektroniczna rejestracja na operacje będzie... po wyborach xD

Im się chyba naprawdę znudziło rządzenie.

When British right-wing populist leader Nigel Farage announced he was resigning as a lawmaker and triggering a special election in the face of a swirl of allegations over personal financing, he sought the high ground, saying his constituents “should be the judges of my actions.”

Instead, rival parties united in dismissing his actions as a stunt, leaving his only opponent to be a garbage-can wearing comedian whose policies include forcing rule-breaking cyclists to ride unicycles. https://t.co/ZY0Aq4PEqq

[Count Binface @CountBinface]

Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.

Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.

Leave him to me.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

I spoke to McConnell for about 20 minutes this morning.

He said we should end the war with Iran, quit giving aid to Israel, stop spying on Americans without a warrant, and he’s really sorry about how my primary turned out.

trump: tremendous, no further questions

[sid 🌹🔆🇨🇦 @lilbabygandhi]

All I will remember is the “liberal” Americans accepting Trump’s gangsterism bullshit because they thought it was beneficial for them. Now go fuck off you cheating dickheads.

[Wynner 🇩🇪🇦🇹🇪🇺 @EuroWynner]

Trump managed to turn a World Cup that was honestly turning into a major US PR victory into a total national humiliation. Genius.
