On tonight's episode, @dbessner and @daniel_dsj2110 are going to be chatting w/@BenBurgis about their Jacobin article on liberals and the fascism debate. Before that, we'll be talking about the campus protests & more. All starts at 8 EST! youtube.com/watch?v=cvWBvy…
@BenBurgis No, You need to spread your ideas without ever talking where someone without a postgrad degree can hear you, but then they'll talk to someone else and then they'll talk to someone else and at some point a normal person will overhear and be convinced. Trickle down social economics
The most good-lord-did-I-read-that-right passage in Anarchy, State & Utopia--other than Nozick's support for the right to sell yourself into slavery!--might be when he says he's not sure if it violates anyone's rights for municipalities to outlaw public interracial hand-holding.
This aged well.
At 4 PM East Coast/1 West Coast, I'll be on @TIRShowOakland chatting w/@StefanBertramL on my essay "The New York Times Memorializes Daniel Dennett Without Reading Him." Watch it there or cross-streamed to @GTAA_Show: youtube.com/watch?v=YlSKQg…
Nobel Prize winning libertarian economist James Buchanan supported a 100 percent inheritance tax.

Allowing wealth to accumulate from one generation to another is a recipe for unacceptable inequalities. We should abolish inherited wealth. jacobin.com/2020/12/abolis…
Presented without commentary:
Understand: US "centrists" are now finally attempting their version of what their British counterparts did with Corbyn & the Labour left - to manufacture a defamatory, brazen lie about rampant, widespread antisemitism and endlessly repeat it until it's accepted as true.
@BenBurgis Look, we have a natural right to freedom from the existence of protests we don’t like, but having a say in how violence can be used? That’s the road to tyranny
Nice to see the Libertarian Party making it clear that they don't object to police brutality, they just want it to be privatized (and hence walled off from public pressure and reforms).
Even by P-LW's standards, this is a bizarre set of grievances. Why is defending normie post-Vatican II Catholicism against weirdo right-wing Catholic fundamentalism a bad thing? And is Matt Bruenig of all people "post-" left? *How*?

Please don't tell me, in 2024, that Israel is in danger of "becoming" an apartheid state "if" there isn't a "two-state solution." Israel has ruled millions of Palestinians without giving them citizenship for 57 years--significantly longer than apartheid in South Afirca (1948-94).

Both cookers going gonna be a good one. Happy Saturday friends!
If you don't understand the concept of "cope" read this tweet.
The Iraq War was a terrible thing to do, and we shouldn't have done it, but the U.S. absolutely won that war. We smashed all enemies, pacified the country, installed a proxy government, and then dumped the responsibility for day-to-day security in Iran's lap
A letter from 60 journalism professors to the New York Times calls on the paper to independently review its "Screams Without Words" article
@jessesingal regardless of how you feel abt the danger level of the bananas, it's very clear that the Israel supporters are not "afraid" or "in danger" but just lying abt that to bring down punishment on the pro-Palestinian side. when ppl are afraid of someone they generally dont taunt them
perhaps i'm being an old-fashioned reactionary here but i think that speculating in public about the sex lives of one's students is a form of professional misconduct
🇮🇱🇺🇸 NYU Professor Scott Galloway twice claims students are upset with Israel because “young people aren’t having enough sex”, dubs protesting Israel as “the new sex”
@jonathanchait …but why won’t they show the footage of the much larger genocide that’s ongoing…oh….that’s right
This seems like the most cynical concern trolling that one can do. When you can't defend the indefensible, you go after the protestors for "not really knowing about the issue".
Ok, but doesn't this apply to the very elites that rally toward a defense of Israel? Don't they face far more pressure to conform to the "sensible" pro-Israeli line? Is Mike Johnson so much more informed on the Israel-Palestine conflict than a Columbia student?
This is probably right. Most people don't form political opinions through deep examination of the issues or reasoning from first principles. It's more like picking some particular fashion label or way of dressing. Especially for younger people, who face more peer pressure.
I was told that comedians should punch up and not punch down, but do comedians really throw punches? In what direction is McDonald punching here? youtu.be/ljaP2etvDc4?si…
Apparently some people are surprised to hear that one can oppose the indiscriminate slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians without having to agree that the oppressed speak with one voice and are always 100% right about everything that concerns them.
I think it's interesting how many disparaging comments about protesters today could have (and were) deployed almost identically against Vietnam protesters
The protests involve small numbers of people and are taking place at some of the most privileged and "bubble-ish" places in the entire world. It's cool to be interested in them - I'm interested in them! ' - but this is the opposite of a mass populist movement.
Just an absolute blithering idiot. So dumb you can't even really say anything funny about it because nothing you say could be funnier than his own dipshit takes.
Chatting to a bot that impersonates Plato is reading about him with dubious extra steps. Or, you know, you could just read Plato.
Soon, students will have CONVERSATIONS with Aristotle, Socrates, or Plato rather than just reading about them. This is how AI is REVOLUTIONIZING education.
Oh damn! Happy 40th birthday to this piece of classic 80s cinema!!
Breakin' turns 40 (!) this week, so join me in celebrating as I break out some goodies from the archive. Here's a video store mobile celebrating the movie's MGM/UA VHS release:
@HotSpotHotSpot probably has nothing to do with the 2000lb bombs the Israelis are dropping on apartment complexes filled with women and children
@BenBurgis No, You need to spread your ideas without ever talking where someone without a postgrad degree can hear you, but then they'll talk to someone else and then they'll talk to someone else and at some point a normal person will overhear and be convinced. Trickle down social economics
I'm always amazed at political actors who say "you have a responsibility to vote for us, and you have no alternative." If you're running in an election your job is to earn the respect and commitment of voters so you can responsibly exercise power on their behavior
NEW: Democratic strategist James Carville has meltdown, blasts young people for thinking about staying home and not voting for Biden. The panic is setting in. “You little f**king 26-year-old, you don’t feel like ‘the election’s important to me. They’re not addressing the issues…
This seems true to me. And it’s biting us in the ass. Are people not pivoting back to the Left’s traditional support for free speech because they’re principled, or because they’re dumb? The relevant principles are pretty dumb, mind.
On the other hand what's also clear to me is that many people who support encampments do not care about free speech at all and reject the liberal order that allows it. They support encampments bc they support the speech.They'd be thrilled to disallow other forms of speech/action.
I remember the year Stephen Colbert hosted WHCD and he mocked Bush and the media so savagely that the room barely applauded because they were the brunt of the joke. Should’ve cancelled WHCD afterwards because apparently it’s now just sycophancy.
