People will disagree with me, but moral advantage matters for formation dynamics, due to recruiting and coordination; a position which is too nihilistic thus risks a loss even if it appears to make tactical/strategic sense.

Ideal move philosophically *exceeds* the opposition.

A pause is easy to defend in argument, plus rolling back the Biden wave; "remigration" is not.

I don't think the electorate will meet the right there; the foundations to desire it are not there.

I probably don't need to repeat that trying to help minority and low-income students by sending them to universities for which the high-school system has not prepared them is a form of cargo-cultism that does only damage to everybody.

[∴ Quantum Rift @quantumdaybreak]

@leathercheerio @HistoryBoomer Would you say that hatred of natives is a sign of moral weakness, and an obvious tell that someone is not a good person?

[∴ Quantum Rift @quantumdaybreak]

Well, we tried explaining this possibility for years, but people seem to have interpreted it as "just evil right-wing rationalizations" or something. I think it's partly following local incentives and partly a lack of internal psychological development.

How much of the anti-migrant backlash in Europe over the next decade will spill over into deterring economically productive/desirable immigrants as well? Mobs aren’t exactly known for being precise or accurate.

I love the typical American, but the typical American hasn't rebuilt America's space industry with a record-breaking number of commercial space launches.

How would I benefit from taking Elon's companies away and giving them to politically well-connected insiders?

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.

The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth.

We need a wealth tax.

@flobblewobbled @EastAnglian4 @PYeerk You can't think of literally any reason they would do that besides embarrassment?

Good example text of tribal political psychology.

Usually it's not stated so bluntly, but this is how it feels to be a social/tribal reasoner from the inside - the opposition's position being held based on differing beliefs is literally inconceivable to this guy.

@smuglywinning You are a freak and everyone in your life knows it. No one wants to be around you or hear you talk

[Purple Cabbage @purplcabbage]

@useful_emetic @thomasmetcalf yeah it’s a real issue, going from in-person, which is highly dimensional, to text-based, which is a narrow channel of information, now to AI filters that improve fluency and remove more of the limited information still preserved in text-based channels

I see Newsom may have replaced his social media manager.

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

This is not sustainable.

Plutarch warned us 2,000 years ago that the imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics.

We have got to democratize our economy so that it works for all.

@linkshund In other words, you posted this because you yourself (/the character that you are playing) are racist, not because the guys responding to it are racist. 🤷

[∴ Quantum Rift @quantumdaybreak]

@linkshund Yeah, so basically the only reason to run defense on random street beheadings is racism against Europeans/people of European descent, thinking that they're morally inferior/"deserve it," etc, while actually solving interstate conflict requires much more serious thinking.

@BorisBartlog @hkafterdark It's also exactly the sort of thing America would do.
Luv me country.

@GamerBrocialist @tracewoodgrains What's the proposed mechanism by which this fixes public schools?

[∴ Quantum Rift @quantumdaybreak]

@hecubian_devil Where is the successful social engineering that this implies? Would love to see it.

[∴ Quantum Rift @quantumdaybreak]

@hkozachkov Elites seem to be optimizing locally and not considering long-term consequences for the polity and hedging appropriately.

If you're familiar with developmental stage theory, I think a lot of them got stuck on social consensus/prestige, & didn't move past it.

[∴ Quantum Rift @quantumdaybreak]

@hkozachkov Additionally, there's a personnel issue where the work of considering national sovereignty in the 21st century is being done by small numbers of randos online due to a lack of a functional, adaptive elite consensus oriented around national development.

[∴ Quantum Rift @quantumdaybreak]

@Newsweek Thanks; I'm flagging for later review as to whether Newsweek should be considered an unreliable source going forward.

[∴ Quantum Rift @quantumdaybreak]

But that work is long, arduous, and involves both investment *and* discipline.

The migrant must be made into a *peer* of the high-productivity society, and thus worthy of respect. Allowing criminal behavior does the opposite.

[∴ Quantum Rift @quantumdaybreak]

Elites are the ones who collect the reputational benefit of allowing crimes of the type that occurred in Rotherham, while the poor and powerless are the ones that suffer the harms, and if any immigrant participates, it degrades that man's moral character.

It's just immoral.

[∴ Quantum Rift @quantumdaybreak]

We ought to make this explicit - if an elite wants to do penance for colonialism, then he, personally, (or if we are adopting the collective frame that such people favor in these discussions, his family), must be the one to sacrifice.

It's not trivial: real work *could* be done.
