...god the chuds aren't really surprised by this, right? They're not acting like this is new information right?

I remember reading screenshots of Q guys twisting themselves in knots to explain why it's actually not Trump being involved in shady stuff but instead investigating it

Klein and Thompson have faced no opposition to their accurate claim that the U.S. ability to build large projects has deteriorated, even and particularly in blue states where hostile Republicans can’t be blamed. The question is whether the obstacle to that growth is well-intentioned regulations that give too much power to environmentalists, busybody neighbors known as NIMBYs, and labor unions, or whether it stems from concentrated financial power—in the form of billionaires, monopolies, or both—who benefit from stalled projects.

I wonder if it could be the one explanation that just so happens to be absent from bestseller newyourk times hotcake book, Abundance™? thonk

Sorry, baby, but we've accidentally created an overcapacity for graphics chip manufacturing. Could you be a dear and incorporate some compute heavy habits into your workflow? THanks, and remember if you don't, then you hate freedom and the terrorists will do an alignment to GLaDOS or something!

“We should ultimately be trying to convince him that the Democratic Party has more of the values that he agrees with,” Khanna said.

pain well that's true

“A commitment to science funding, a commitment to clean technology, a commitment to seeing international students like him.”

This is where the semantics breaks down. Having a plan would mean having some understanding of where we are at and what should be done to start moving forward. And you would need to communicate that understanding and that plan to other people... in what is otherwise known as a story.

We don't have a story, but that's OK because we need a story!

They have to frame it like that because the alternative is, "We had to kill people who lived differently from us so we could have freedom" and that's too much of a blatant contradiction. Swapping "freedom" for "democracy" doesn't really change the sentiment, but it does somewhat obscure an otherwise nonsensical justification as merely incredibly ghoulish.

I could have sworn it was being thrown around earlier than that. Like, around 2014 or 15

Yeah! Lets halt the Duma and install a leader more aligned with our values! I'm sure nothing unintended could come of this.
