I'm thrilled to debut a new @ArcDigi section called Polyarchy—named after one of my favorite works in poli sci.

I want this to be the premier place for intelligent discussion on political theory. We begin with a sharp explainer on critical theory by @MattPolProf
After picking it, I remembered that the rascals at Vox had a blog by that name (it's actually a fantastic blog). But I didn't care. As I said, I love the Dahl book and the name's got "arc" in it, so 🤷‍♂️
Earlier this week, we also debuted another section: Arc Conversations. Read the first entry here.

I understand it seems more natural to support an individual-driven Substack than a collective-driven Substack since Substacks are known for being single-person vehicles. But give us a look.

One America News Network is launching their own social media platform and it could not be funnier.
"No ShadowBanning or blocking here!"
Imagine debuting a dime-store Parler, which is already a penny-store Twitter.

This is a favorite technique of braindead extremists: they hold up a hyperradical dirtbag and implicitly equate them with ordinary people who have broadly acceptable views.

Imaging arguing that because NICK FUENTES is having problems x, y, and z ... that means YOU will too.
A lot of people are interested in debating the legitimacy of putting Fuentes on a no fly. That’s neither what my tweet was about, nor a plausible thing to believe in the first place. Thus far the only “evidence” we have is his word, which means nothing given that’s he’s a scumbag
Blocked this loser for snitch-tagging to Fuentes, who commands a troll army like you wouldn’t believe. Image

Imagine how warped you have to be to use "tyrannophobic" as a pejorative.
My good bitch has me blocked but is nonetheless tweeting about me. This is what makes him such an impressive individual.
It appears his own abstract is also a damning indictment of our educational system

Can you imagine looking like Efron used to look and thinking that your face needed surgical modification?
C’mon
Good Lord

This thread—which reaches its riotously discrediting climax by describing Bernie-supporting, Vox-podcasting @mattyglesias as a "fancy Rush Limbaugh"—is one of the dumbest things you'll ever read on this site.
Basically what's happening is that you have a Twitter subculture incapable of interpreting disagreement with progressive identitarian conceptions of race as anything other than red-pilled reactionary Limbaughism.
This group has lost the capacity to intelligently discriminate among the various forms of dissent they come across online. You've reached galactic levels of absurdity when your grand theory is that Matt Yglesias is Rush Limbaugh with a smile.

Gary Neville is a hysterical nut case. I don’t think anyone was this worked up about Hitler bombing London. He’s offered no real argument for why the Super League would be bad. Just that it would be a “monopoly,” which isn’t the case.
Getting a lot of good pushback on this. So I want to explain my reasons for thinking this is a good development.
First, an uncontroversial metric of soccer enjoyment is being able to see the biggest matches and best players. We all circle the big games on the calendar; we all tune in for the most exciting players.

This first argument is simple: The SL reliably gives us more of these games.
