ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
it gave me context to feel a compassionate through-line for human existence and appreciate more the historical development of global civilization from a pretty materialist lens. as applied to my personal history, having a lens to view the development of judaism and christianity as an expression of cultural response to material conditions and in relation to debt and economic relations gave me a way to psychologically distance myself from feeling a need to negotiate with the religion as an insider. approaching it from a historical materialist perspective, i think graeber also unintentionally paints a convincing portrait of the interaction of technology, capital, people, and the psychological traumas people inflict upon one another. i had been raised to be generally compassionate in principle, but by relatively ignorant and poor practitioners. in other words, graeber's approach to history and the specific content that he focused on to develop his theory of debt as a panhistorical economic driver and instrument of power and recurring example of a superhuman (larger than a human can successfully reason about concretely) abstract that drove humans to think more abstractly about everything. that last part, along with a materialist approach to integrating history, filled in the gaps that I had from understanding Marx as applied with less eurocentrism than Marx was capable of.
this is basically my answer as well. something about reading Debt made it click for me.
MikeFromPA was completely correct about this kid. he seems like a fine enough young kid who has a lot of reading to do and also shouldn't be in front of hundreds of thousands of people. a shitposter if you will. (i am not on twitter, i do not read tweets, please do not come at me for some inane shit this guy might have said about healthcare or something, i agree he sucks. i think people like him because he has the same speaking cadence and a similar voice to felix biederman.) but Mike was right about this guy's complete unfamiliarity with the general practice of polling. no one, not even campaigns, benefit from everyone's polls being wrong. even fox news wants their polls to be right. nate bronze is a joke, but his math is like, basically fine. you have like ettingermentum saying stupid shit about models using bad polls, but a good model will use a low quality poll with appropriate weighting and get better results. which is what happened. don't want to see this kid again until he's an actual socialist or something though. which...

i am brian foxnewshost, wtf is this utter nonsense lmao.
yet again, this exhibits the innate dissonances of the amerikkkan system of governance. on the one hand, here, mostly due to things like budget constraints and overcrowding rather than an interest in silly trifling matters such as human rights, we see the prison system acknowledge that the point is deprivation of freedom: anything beyond this is by definition an additional cruelty beyond imprisonment. but on the other hand, we have exceedingly long prison terms, and overcrowded prisons, etc. under the auspices of a synthetic desire for retribution/clearing "inherently dangerous" criminals from public contact for "security" reasons. there is nothing rehabilitative about either recourse (part-time prison or full-time prison) but the cruelty is a key component in keeping the mask on I think. as always, the dissonance is smoothed over with extreme and indiscriminate violence.
