“The so-called black and so-called white people of the United States resemble nobody else in the world so much as they resemble each other.” — Albert Murray

"Fuck war. Except the one Putin is waging on Ukraine. Because I only ever hate the West and its allies." (Much shorter Caitlin)

The thing is, it's not just Japan that's like this. It's everywhere except America. Only American progressives view anarchy as a form of social welfare.

The normie position on immigration is really not that hard to figure out:

* Deport immigrants who commit crimes
* Fix the unlimited asylum loophole
* Don't go around acting like a gestapo, kidnapping people off the streets, violating rights and murdering protestors

A crime being committed by armed, masked men with the government's blessing.

Ta'Naheshi Coates is legitimately one of the most over-rated people of all time.

Ezra Klein Derangement Syndrome is real, folks

Genuinely mind-blowing the extent to which MAGA 2.0 boils down to: absolutely no one is qualified to do their job.

"What has surprised me is how strong the urge is to memory-hole some of what we all lived through, to deny how bad it was. It was a very chaotic moment, and people don’t seem to want to assess it on its own terms."

I feel no personal sense of offense at the NYT men are bad piece, but making it clear that a sizable chunk of the left coalition does believe that half the population needs to be permanently apologetic for something they can't change does seem like it's harming us electorally

The scandal isn’t that he checked that box. The scandal is that neither him nor his supporters can be honest about why.

[Thomas Chatterton Williams @thomaschattwill]

The astonishing lack of any positive vision of political or cultural life. Trump’s America is just one unceasing expression of contempt.

[National Review @NRO]

The administration has repeatedly assured Americans that tariffs are a key element in bringing about a golden age.

So why not welcome displays of tariff costs? | @AStuttaford

American audiences will clap like seals at any midwit British pundit with a posh accent. They don’t want original arguments, original reporting, or anything. Just the accent.

There. Is. No. Plan. Not. Even. Concepts. Of. A. Plan.

It will never cease to amaze that Americans basically just got bored of having the best lives on the planet so they elected a lunatic to blow it up in the hopes of building some microwave factories for their children to find meaning in.

There is absolutely no way a time traveler could explain to a 1999 Seattle WTO lefty protester how the era of globalization and American support for free trade would come to an end.

[Jesse Singal @jessesingal]

I'm over "FUND X!!!!" as a progressive tic. In a lot of contexts, particularly Dem-controlled cities, the thing under discussion suffers not primarily from a lack of funding, but from an insane level of dysfunction, inefficient and unaccountable outsourcing to nonprofits, etc.

[Citizen of Omni-America @ghostofalbertm1]

@crypt_osho @thomaschattwill Rightfully so.

[Thomas Chatterton Williams @thomaschattwill]

So few really want to grapple with this
