 This is basically my entire thesis: that by capturing the institutions ‘libs’ took on functionally conservative interests whether they realized it or not.

Libs now have a major interest in preserving the power and authority of the institutions.

 For some reason (stupidity, arrogance, being high on their own supply?) libs thought they could continue with the radical performance art, chase competent institutional conservatives out of the institutions, and what? It would be Mitt Romney-like punching bags in…

 …in perpetuity who would just take their abuse and clean up the messes?

So along comes MAGA which is forward looking and does the math and sees that it’s better to be rid of these institutions and is competent politically and so now they’re being washed away.

 I agree with Greg Conti’s Mamdani takes in First Things.

We may be past ‘peak woke’ because it’s harder to engineer 2020-type moral hysterias and get corporations to open their pocketbooks and go along for the ride.

But wokeness isn’t going to go anywhere because… Image

 …it’s the primary means by which a discrete social class (embittered, downwardly mobile, urban creative affluents) expresses their political and social will.

Things aren’t going to be getting better anytime soon for the masters-degree-havers in western Brooklyn making… Image

 …$85k a year and so an inchoate political project that allows them to both launder their rage and sociopathy under the cover of ‘social justice’ and to attain disproportionate prominence in American cultural and political life (contra their IRL economic and social… Image

 The self criticism that an online publication did for its review of Sausage Party is maybe the best thing I have ever read. Image

3/ ‘On Saturday we received a pitch from a freelancer who enjoyed Salma Hayek’s portrayal of the animated queer taco in Sausage Party; she found it to be surprisingly nuanced.’ They thought the taco was subversive. Image

There’s a small faction of ‘respectable centrist’ scolds who mourn the role they lost as the primary fake opposition that the blob lib uniparty would relentlessly crush.

Part of getting rid of the libs involves getting rid of these people too because they’re…
…terrible at politics, they only know how to lose, and they’ve actually accelerated all the degradations they pretend to resist by taking up space and resources that should have been handed to someone competent.

They’re desperate for relevance and similar to libs,…
…politics for these people is a mechanism for social competition; the difference is that libs compete to be Good, while these people compete to be Respectable and the Voice of Reason.

The truth is that they only know how to lose. They’ve lost again and again and never…

I think there’s a fundamental confusion with this discourse.

I think Wanye’s advice is good and we are wealthier as a society than we ever have been and our standard of living is amazing and it’s never been easier to be comfortable materially.

But our cultural and…
…intellectual life is garbage and social life is becoming increasingly rancid and alienating and it’s harder than ever to form a fulfilling adult life.

So, if you’re reasonably smart and have a decent work ethic you’ll probably end up being comfortable materially but…
…at the same time, yes, they do hate you, and yes, the culture is engineered for confusion and unhappiness. So the doomerism is really an instance of giving them what they want without even putting up a fight. My demo (younger Gen X) was much more oppositional…

Fantastic piece in Tablet.

Samuels makes some very interesting assertions.

First, he argues that David Axelrod, who excelled at getting affluent white urbanites to vote for black mayors, brought an advertising mentality to politics. Axelrod’s father was a psychologist… Image
…and his mother was an ad exec. Axelrod’s innovation was to create ‘permission structures’ - or socialization frameworks - that would lead people to vote against their own interests because they wanted to see themselves as the sort of socially desirable person who would vote…
…for a specific candidate (‘I am a Good Person, not a regressive chud, etc’). This tendency subsequently transformed politics from focusing on material negotiations to generating social status. People were way more enthusiastic about being ‘Obama voters’…
