Not a single person has proposed anything unconstitutional. What kind of blinkered moron in America, 2021 can’t see the corrupt landscape of govt + biz collusion? These sorts of contextless jabs can no longer be seen as anything but disingenuous.
Their job now is to attack the right from the right and paint the targets behind the frontlines for the left.
Do these clowns think these businesses are acting out of the goodness of their heart? It’s also unconstitutional in some way for biz to have to speak a certain way under the threat of government punishment, I suppose. But this is neither here nor there re political action.
Anyone who cares about the constitution or constitutional government must act politically to save what’s left of it—now. It’s hard to believe these guys are too stupid to see how what’s left of the constitution is about to be rolled under.
It's time to stop giving any of them the benefit of the doubt. To the extent they can be ignored, ignore them & let the dead bury the dead. To the extent they need to be brushed aside when they get in the way, assume they work for the other side, whether they intend it or not.

The amount of replies on the socials to anyone appalled at our UN ambassador’s claim about our founding that = “But the 3/5ths clause!” reveals the profound ignorance of our fellow citizens. For decades, our education system has taught what the best Chinese propagandists now say.
Slavery is mentioned three times in the Constitution. The 3/5ths clause and the limit on slave importation are both measures taken against slavery in the compromise that was made. The slave owners wanted slaves to count as 5/5ths to give themselves more power.
The worst of the Constitution is the fugitive slave clause. The other two mentions are anti-slavery, and reveal that the document was a compromise between those opposed to slavery and those for it—and was intended by all those opposed to put slavery on a path to extinction.

Underlying elite western premise = if you have any objections to allowing as many of whoever wants to live in your country to do so you are a racist/Nazi. Not insane. Natural thought for the powerful when ignorant + arrogant. They see the rest of humanity as their Lego bricks.
Their ignorance of politics cannot be understated. They are deeply miseducated & they way they understand human / political life misshapen. Their arrogance is such that they think they can control any group of people. They can't imagine it otherwise.
They have no idea what founding or maintaining a political regime takes. They don't even know what "regime" means. They don't know what "citizenship" means. They don't understand what "human nature" means. They aren't even aware of the fundamental questions & challenges in play.

“Feminism” has “normalized” concubinage, mainstreamed prostitution, & is seemingly proud of creating world in which millions of women now have to work & take care of the kids, alone. Nvm proudly, ceaselessly pushing practices to terminate life in the womb. It’s unconscionable.
I’d like to see an ounce of intellectual honesty or a shred of bravery from these gaunt cougars. Are you pro-OnlyFans? Sugar daddies? 40% of kids born out of wedlock? Yah think things aren’t far worse now than when you started? What’s your response to all this needless suffering?
You realize that for decades Clown World ceaselessly argued (with all its haughty authority and "science") for pushing birth control & abortion b/c, they said, it would reduce births out of wedlock. We now have record, civilization-threatening #s of kids born outside of marriage.

Every R voter needs to evaluate whether or not their state/local public officials are as weak & clueless as this one. Many red state pols are like this or worse. But you don’t have time anymore for talking heads who don’t know what time it is. Test ‘em. Find your DeSantis, ASAP.
Stop assuming that b/c you live in a red state and have Republican pols representing you...complacency is no longer forgivable. The only institution in America that Rs can lay claim to is red states. The only way out of this mess is for you to elect leaders worthy of the name.
You need to assume instead that your state/local Republican electeds are pretend losers trying to fool you until proven otherwise. The burden of proof is on them to act boldly and lead. There are no longer any excuses. There is no longer any time for squishes and cuckery.

Left wins b/c they demand things as organized groups & fearlessly leverage their power for sake of their political objectives, which are tied rhetorically to deep moral imperatives like justice & common good. This isn’t complicated.

The Right just needs to stop transing itself.
“We can’t use moral language like justice and tie our policies to higher purposes—we must speak of efficiencies and speak as moral neutrals.”

False. This is why you lose.
“We can’t organize and protest and fearlessly demand things.”

True, they get nasty if you try. But if you want to let them make this impossible, you are a loser who’s admitted he’s lost.

Thread. Technology has opened up a portal to an older world even as Big Corporate has revealed itself as necessarily political entities. Talent wants the freedom to be excellent & work with talent. People are increasingly willing to trade off some stability to escape the Borg.
The trailblazing that lies before us matters, but regardless of particular path we forge, future = a kind of *economic*/politico-cultural war. Piratical. But also & mainly new warlords --> feudal lords marshaling wandering talents seeking to exercise their own excellence again.
In the world we are sailing into, post WWII notions of "neutral" economics/finance, or the way people learned to mentally separate economics/finance from ways of life or political interest and direction (in some ways this is still what elite ed is about) are unhelpful blinders.
