Why would that even be an ideal to strive for? Young people scrambling to build wealth while paying off a mortgage and student loans, and old people scrambling to spend it all before they die. Shouldn’t the ideal be that every family helps the next generation get established?

“Reason is powerless vs tribal identities.” Keep pulling on that thread, James. It will unravel your whole classic liberal worldview.

Why does the universe exist rather than nothing? How were the laws of physics chosen? Why are there conscious experiences? Would not any answers to these questions be incompatible with atheist materialism?

Related - often the motivation for a coup is the fear that if you allow the other side to win power then they won’t give it back. Constitutional monarchs will require elections to be respected, mitigating the need for a preemptive coup, leading to > stability.

Republicans won’t withhold funding from schools that allow boys to play in girls’ sports. Republicans unconsciously regard liberal elites as their rightful leaders. Republicans complain about their leaders, as followers do, but do not dare to supplant and rule over them.

Liberalism destroys social cohesion leading to identity-group conflict and anyone who tries to reverse it gets colour-revolutioned or otherwise incapacitated by American liberal imperialists.

Where are the messages of solidarity with the Christian community from corporate America? They stumble all over themselves to make statements about every national tragedy affecting marginalized communities. Now all of a sudden, they're all business. Why? 🤔

This is a self-own. YOU are the government. Are you saying you have 100k employees under your direction doing nothing of value? Do something about that.

@yhazony Liberals fail to realize that refusing to make collective judgements on the difference between living well and living badly is not compassionate, but the sign of a pathologically indulgent society. And indulgence is among the most destructive forms of neglect.

Insightful thread on how constitutional amendments are used to transfer power from voters to elites (lawyers/courts and civil servants).

What Elon is doing is a revolt by entrepreneurial capital against the professional-managerial class regime that otherwise everywhere dominates (including and especially large tech companies), and that same PMC (which includes the media) is treating it as an act of lèse-majesté.
