Sometimes a tweet comes along that perfectly encapsulates the writer's entire worldview, and folks,
If you'd do unethical shit to help out your brother if he's embroiled in scandal, you'd do unethical shit to help out your brother if he's not embroiled in scandal.

Not even knowing that a completely situational morality isn't something to proudly proclaim? That's our MattY!
"Before you go judging Andrew Cuomo for unethically using his media role to spread misinformation about the abusive practices of his brother, the Governor of New York, keep in mind he had a SERIOUS conflict of interests."

Is not a defense. Thinking it is? Yikes.
My conclusion is he actually thinks that it's good.

"Let he without massive conflicts of interests involving abusive and powerful people cast the first stone."

Our current situation is: Republicans are actively doing harm to US citizens, partly for political advantage, partly for profit, partly because they want people harmed.

Many others would rather protect the rules and systems that allow this, than subvert those rules to fight it.
This is from my hometown, about the place where my wife works, and I encourage you to read it.

It describes a war zone.

The war is being waged by a political party acting to spread a virus and suppress all remedy.

They can do this because our system is designed to let them.
Our governor, a Democrat, took responsible & extraordinary precautions at the start of this pandemic, for which she was ritually attacked by the Republican president & her gerrymandered Rep. state legislature, & faced violent threat, plotting, & actions from Rep. voters.

I'm right here, Josh. I never left.
Nothing less manly than endlessly worrying over what is manly and what isn't, in my opinion.

Manly men are just manly, and that encompasses an extremely wide spectrum of appearance and behavior.
Idea: Hawley's mistake is an insistence that "manly" and "womanly" are opposites.

They aren't. A man isn't less manly for having qualities considered "feminine."

What if being unmanly just means being insecure about maleness? What if the idea of "real men" is an unmanly idea?

The downtown hospital in my MI city is getting National Guard medical to help deal with a massive surge of ~95% unvaxxed Covid patients—and all I can think is next time we have a Republican governor that won't happen b/c fighting deadly diseases is a partisan issue now.
The great idea of the Republican Party is that government is always bad, and therefore government will always fail ... which led them to strategically try to make government always fail ... which led, eventually, inevitably, to this.

It's a civic murder/suicide pact.
The idea of government preventing a million deaths is, apparently, a more terrible outcome to conservative politicians and the majority of their voters than is a million preventable deaths.

Good point. Let’s give them all houses.
Good point. Let’s get them free access to psychological care and substance abuse therapy.
You know, reading back through this, it almost seems like some people are willing to spend more money to have a class of unhoused people than it would cost to simply house everyone, specifically to have a pretext for opposing public works projects that would benefit all, weird.

Me, an idiot, an absolute clown: If we invested in robust and effective public transportation, this wouldn't happen.

You, insanely smart, a visionary: If the car-based road was in a tunnel, this wouldn't happen.
There is one traffic problem that robust and effective public transportation totally fails to solve, which Elon Musk's Boring Company does solve.

That problem is, robust and effective public transportation doesn't make Elon Musk any money.
Me: what if over the next 10 years we built trains and repurposed all that highway space productively?
City Board: that is socialism, commie

Elon Musk: I think your citizens want to die in tunnels I own.
City Board: is $55 billion dollars enough? because that's all we have

Whenever I write something that critiques systemic injustice, people who defend systemic injustice appear to rebut me ... by making the exact points I made.

But there's never been anything I've written that has demonstrated this effect as much as this.

American conservatives, mostly white, told me I was crazy to suggest that they think such things, they made a fascinating pivot.

They didn’t proceed to explain what they actually think instead. Rather, they explained *why they were right to think the things I said they think.*
All of it reduced, again, to “people who protest for Black lives should be killed, and we should be allowed to personally do it.”

Their reaction to the Rittenhouse trial was white conservative America screaming at the uppity concierge of jurisprudence: don’t you know who we are?
