in which democracy admits itself incompatible with the constitutional republic.

"a republic if you can keep it", very pertinent

>For The People Act

remember the "PATRIOT Act"?

>a federal, constitutional republic bad

still the best system known so far. contrast with the bloody, impoverished failures of democracies through history.

>only one vision valid
>only one party valid

one party state bad. unaccountable, wasteful, stagnant: propped up through propaganda, not merit, not leadership.

>Greg Sargent

can't go on like this

pretty interesting discussion of leftism from leftist perspective

recommend not allying with feminists, not even temporarily.

the tactics and the goals are the same as the trans lobby's - the core leftist tactics and goals.

tired: monopoly on violence
wired: monopoly on social pressure

the common platform of big government and woke-lefty activists is *monopoly on social pressure*. #dmutc

note that violence is allowed, as long as it doesn't cause much of social pressure.

cf inner city gang violence vs cop shooting a black man.

note that social pressure is not allowed, unless done by people allied with the government, and toeing the official line.

cf unchecked racial riots through 2020 vs the Jan 6th riot at Capitol.

assorted lies:
the media shifted left

3/
real bad lies:
the federal government used to be appointed by the states, and that gradually devolved to appointing by citizens.

with bad consequences showing ever more.

enjoying The Prudentialist's latest video

very timely subject, so let's take some notes (thread):

2/
recognize well prepared & thought out work by brief, expressive summary and links to source texts 👍

in particular linked is full text of Lippmann's book:

3/
we open with recap that public opinions shift over span of few years, and reject offhand the notion that it's some invisible, neutral hand of "progress"

witness Rebecca Watson exposing her subversive views.

first, she wrongly compares Israel to "nazi rise to power" and calls them "occupiers"

2/
reminded of Palestine's stance on women, Rebecca compares it to Alabama (???)

and swears she would defend Alabama, in spite of the political differences...

3/
...only to tell us Alabama is occupied territory just as well, lol
