      I've finally realized that American left culture has basically become mental illness, or possibly some form of religious hysteria. The right was that way for years, but now the left has succumbed. I fear this may be environmental toxicity. Like Rome was done in by lead poisoning

      Not convinced you can delimit the political culture. I haven't seen a sane US political position in a long time. There is always dangerous confusion.

      it has limits. it hasn't yet infiltrated every aspect of day-to-day life or business. if your view is from a distance filtered through the media it looks worse than it is. it's bad, but the media is terminal.

      Oh I know. I have plenty of politically engaged US friends who don't have particularly weird positions. The problem is on a different level: they don't have anything to organize behind. Every big position is co-opted, ruinous or both.

      You don't like war, who do you vote for? You want working infrastructure, who do you vote for? You want functioning health care, what do you do? If your answer to any of these questions is voting for either major party, you lost. If it's not, you're going to need a lot of guns.

      it's all true. the response of the Democratic party after losing the election is illustrative. they put 10x as much energy into preventing the rising Sanders faction from taking over their party then they did into addressing the issues during the campaign.

      Right. So I understand where @leashless is coming from, in that the people dragging @elonmusk constantly on Twitter are absurd. Guy has his issues, but is he in the top 10 worst CEOs worldwide, or in the US? Top 100? Hell, top 1000? Probably not. So what are they doing?

      heads up their own asses. they drag him because Tesla cars are popular in their demographic and their friends talk about him at parties and it's part of their social performance to perform "sanctimonious moralizing ad absurdum" and expect praise for it

      it's monkey-mind stuff. it's thoughtless and social status hierarchy games.

          how's this for a definition of sanity: the ability to suspend monkey-mind for at least long enough to solve problems that aren't actually social status games

          What if I told you... that also turns into a status game? When transhumanism really kicks off, we'll start to get traction with these issues. Until then, monkeys gon' monkey.pic.twitter.com/FDc16Cbgn4

          Yeah, the question was rhetorical. I know what they're doing.
