Humanism | Universalism | Empiricism is cool but humility is cooler

@Aaron_Good_ @tripgabriel the biggest trick the West ever pulled was disguising Thatcherism and the atomization of society as everything but brutal. Like, look around! The regime is capital and it will take the marrow from your bones.

@Dwiggy333 @Kingfan5151 @MarkAmesExiled Yes! They say where there's a will there's a way. Oh, what's that? Oh I hear we've been told by our biggest donors to not have an opinion on *checks notes* "social democracy", "international law", and the term "fair share."

[Ian (Redacted): Mourning epistemology @empdenied]

@Kingfan5151 @MarkAmesExiled And the claim is still unprovable. You can't point to any cause and effect relationship between 'whatever whacko leftist' and 'democratic losses' and you know it

[Ian (Redacted): Mourning epistemology @empdenied]

@Kingfan5151 @MarkAmesExiled Oh so the reality is that the Democratic party is led by communist feminazis? Let me tell that to Schumer and Jeffries. And sure they failed against Obama, I remember those midterms where the tea party kicked harry reid out of the senate. Come the fuck on

@tgstk714 @janecoaston Yeah you're making an appeal to authority and the authorities have been dead for a few hundred years, didn't have telephones, and were racist as fuck.

@ConorLambPA The fact that he "personally" is not accepting it is the fig leaf that would lead someone to say it's not a big deal. And in perspective to the graft Trump and family is conducting, it's not.

But - it is.

@LauraRbnsn And that's why I think the messages from conservatives about fertility rates are hand-in-hand with 'women, return to the home' messages. Implicitly making it clear that men don't want to participate if they have to hew to modern ideas of a dad's role.

Billionaires do not create jobs. Stop saying it. Without billionaires, we would still build things, design things, teach things, sell things, buy things.

Billionaires capitalise profits. That's it.

[Ian (Redacted): Mourning epistemology @empdenied]

@Kingfan5151 @MarkAmesExiled They teach you anything at law school? You've made an unprovable claim that denies the empirical reality that republicans will paint any and every democrat with the same brush.

[Ian (Redacted): Mourning epistemology @empdenied]

@jacob_mauren Well I guess that Democrat out of central casting didn't show up, cause they'd be easily handling the primary, right?

[Ian (Redacted): Mourning epistemology @empdenied]

@omgsidewalks I'm 41 years old and I still have trouble believing it.

@Perrincapybara i think the revolutionary only exists in the beholder's eye until the point of revolutionary action, and by then things are too hot for the beholder to say 'I thought they'd be a dockworker' when it turns out it's a line cook (good) and a history professor (bad, apparently).

@barbarismcrit Maybe from the jump there's always been a No True Scotsman thing for socialists / communists?

I thought someone was advancing my long-held position on 'perceived harms', but no! Jeremiah is just weighing the perceived harms of the majority above the perceived* harms of the minority. I'd much rather see such an argument pushing against right-wing culture warriors, but w/e

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

I'm in @TheArgumentMag this morning, talking about No-phones-at-concerts discourse and bravely taking the stance that sometimes, it's actually fine to 'harm' people:

[Ian (Redacted): Mourning epistemology @empdenied]

*The minority would say the harm is material, the author supposes it's perceptive/existential/bogus, ymmv.

[Ian (Redacted): Mourning epistemology @empdenied]

@barbarismcrit and also be wary of people who weigh what happens here way out of proportion to what's happening where the grass grows.

@adamjohnsonCHI I know you're not surprised by this, but is anyone? There is no significant representation of anti-war sentiment in either party, and anyone who says the Democrats are the party of peace is lying through their teeth.
