been thinking a lot lately, for no reason, about scholars of the USSR who argue that one of the main reasons it collapsed is that its elite stopped believing in the system -- stopped believing they were building something that would make the world better -- and instead desired luxury & wealth

i guess i’m an authoritarian thug because i don’t find anything bothersome about the idea of keeping teenagers off of platforms that have been proven to be addictive and bad for mental health and are also probably destroying democracy

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

they will describe the post as “racially charged” or will go into painstaking detail “former president obama is depicted as [latin name for species] whereas the former first lady seems to be [latin name for species], despite the animals living in different regions” to avoid using the word “racist”

this man is absolutely deadset on destroying the republic because people are mean to him when he goes to martha's vineyard. we're all used to it but when you're reminded of it like this -- it's just shocking.

i think the media needs to internalize something that is glaringly obvious but also weird and disorienting in a way the media is completely unequipped to handle: trump is not trying to be popular anymore. he is not doing politics anymore. he does not care. he just wants to rule until the music stops

sometimes i think human history is just a constant cycle of insecure men thinking wealth and power would address the void in their souls, then getting increasingly rageful/reactionary/nihilistic as each passing year shows this is not true and as the threat of death becomes increasingly less abstract

not for nothing but one of the things nero did that really sealed his fate is build a giant monument to himself on grounds that were long seen as belonging to the people rather than any individual autocrat.
