Why would he have animosity towards them? They're his team. If the giant death robot that his team built is slightly clumsy and crushes a few people, well, that's the price you pay for having a giant death robot that can kill the bad guys (anyone to his right).

I think this is a bad description of the guy who wanted to get "Principle of Charity" tattooed on his chest and vocally came to the defense of the Duck Dynasty guy. And wrote that article about feminism and superweapons.

He wrote both of those articles a very long time ago This article he chose to mention as his examples of the problem with doxing were MtFs being "deadnamed" and a cop reporting police misconduct in a prog-friendly way rather than when a prog 2 minute hate targeted cop got doxxed

That does seem like a pattern. Idk. I keep saying there's a lot of ruin in him- he could be like 40% more biased and still well-worth reading.

And I'm saying it because that's something I'm pretty sure of, but I also think he has actual principles. You're right that there's a cultural affinity for the left, and this distorts his thinking. But such is to be human.

(This is one reason the line about McInnes is worrying- saying mean, inaccurate things about your enemies to get a laugh was a line he hadn't previously crossed, modulo some obvious jokes. (...)

If you were a Nurgle worshiper and were in control of FDA how do you maximize the power of your lord? You don't start making bioweapons, you throw sand in the gears and passively block disease fighting while spreading the idea that you're vitally important to fight disease.

I think that's an important dynamic, and I do see it in places. There are two environments you can do this in, and they greatly affect your execution.

In the first one, no one is paying much attention. You're not trying to outwit smart people who will critically evaluate if what you're doing makes sense; you're trying to come up with facially plausible excuses your enemies can't puncture with ten-second soundbites.

(I think most politics is at this level. Why did California ban plastic straws rather than, say, instituting a Pigovian tax? They weren't actually trying to help the environment, and they didn't care about fooling anyone who was actually paying attention.)

California didn't implement a Pigovian tax because why would people running CA do that? Banning plastic straws is more in the "make people think you're necessary" bin - "wow, we can't replace CA government with a Duke - we don't know if the Duke will care about the environment"

As you say. Also "We care about
The Environment
". Not, y'know, the actual, physical environment, but the words and the social memeplex they refer to (and probably the coalition of interest groups aligning around that memeplex.)0 replies 0 retweets 1 likeThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
