This is why I think it’s useless to make political calculations based on what it will do to the right wing narrative. They’re literally going to say whatever they want whenever they want however they want no matter what we do and their whole deluded army is going to believe it.
It’s not that we should ignore it. We should understand their terrified cramped alternative reality as best we can.

We just shouldn’t base any of our decisions on their possible reaction.
This is actually freedom for us.

There's nothing we can do to alleviate the effect of the total abdication of reality by American "conservatism."

It also means there's nothing—other than letting their madness drive our priorities—we can do that will make it worse, either.

Treating people as if their ability to make money is the only thing that gives them value means treating all other aspects of society that way.

It grows assumptions, like: an education is worthless unless it makes you a pile of money.

Exorbitant prices follow—inevitably.
The exorbitant prices prove that education is only worthy if you can make you a pile of money.

If your education left you in debt, what use was it?

If your education isn’t useless, why are you in debt?
So the assumption creates a system that reinforces the assumption, and the system chokes the discipline that would interrogate the assumption.

Social work—worthless.
Philosophy—worthless.
History—worthless.
Art, dance, theater—worthless.
Literature—worthless.

This is simply an argument in favor of painful suffering for its own sake, and, as such, it is the essence of American conservatism.
It’s not arguing there is no problem.

It’s not arguing the proposed policy won’t solve it.

It’s an argument against “solving people’s problems” as a general category.

Again, the essence of American conservatism.
Anyone who struggled their whole life under the hell of crippling debt who would use their struggle as the reason not to free others from a similar hell probably *should* get a slap in the face.

Excuse me, Sir. You are the editor of a respected publication. Why not do some due diligence before retweeting baseless smears at innocent kids

The kids were victim of numerous verbal racist attacks. Then grown men walked into kids space and banged drums in his ears. Retract
.@richlowry - why are you gaslighting innocent kids, who were chanting songs for their school, and just stood there and laughed when confronted with professional agitators?

Did you know those boys are being doxxed and people offered bounties to attack them?
Does @NRO condone behavior of grown men who stare down frightened children and bang drums in their face while camera crews capture it to dox them nationally?

People seem irrationally impressed with “but the president has a right to” arguments around obstruction. Obstruction routinely consists of acts you otherwise have a right to do. It’s not, like, some kind of metacrime that supervenes only on other crimes.
I have every right to burn my own correspondence! I have every right to give expensive gifts to my friends! If I do those things for the purpose of obstructing justice, the fact that I’d otherwise be entitled to do them is irrelevant.
There ARE thorny questions about the applicability of criminal statutes when they run up against constitutional prerogatives, but I don’t think they work as some kind of drop-dead obstacle at the investigative stage where you’re looking for patterns of conduct.

Ah, I see, Bloomberg. So instead of a (partial) retraction of your at least half if not fully bullshit China implant story, you're going to now publish *one guy's* claim of Ethernet jack implants. When you had <5 days to check anything he provided.
Remember when a certain other security researcher was convinced his Ethernet jacks had implants? Remember all this "evidence"? How *we* knew it was BS? Now consider whether Bloomberg's technically clueless journalists would know it's BS.
Seriously, this is just pathetic now. They just went from "1 year and multiple sources" to "<5 days and one guy". This is just negligence. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Är du oroad över att demokrati och de mänskliga rättigheterna är i fara? Utveckling i världen och här hemma tyder på det. Du som vill göra något för att lyfta fram det viktiga med samtal om demokrati kan nu att agera. Läs tråden

Alla goda röster behövs för att komma bort från den enkelspåriga retoriken där gruppers gälla mot varann.
#röstemermänskligt är en partipolitiskt och religiöst obunden grupp från skilda bakgrunder med en gemensam nämnare: ett mänskligt samhälle
Valkampanjen är öppen för alla. Du behöver inte vara expert. Det du kan göra är att sprida kunskap, informera och samtala om mänskliga rättigheter under #röstamermänskligt eller irl, på gator och torg, med dina bekanta och familjer.

Whether demonic possession is real and whether the Church should exorcise people are two separate questions, although (as here), they are often lazily conflated. I discuss this in my next book amazon.co.uk/History-Anglic…
Historically, many Christians have maintained the reality of demonic possession but refused to exorcise. Furthermore, some exorcists today do not believe in demonic possession but still believe in the therapeutic power of exorcism
There are also those who argue that, whether or not demonic possession is real (a matter for theologians and demonologists), it is unethical to exorcise people
