so they keep doing things but theres no actual end state in mind or victory conditions here any more than there were for the war on terror or the war on drugs and no one even bothers asking for such plans to victory anymore and everything just piles uphttps://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1452680091322892302?t=ca5ZErfV7uVKQQsbWs5SvQ&s=19 …

spooky take
occurred maybe the case for pessimism rn is not any particular policy by the administration or woke people taking over everything or gadsden flag mobs or whatever
rather its that the us government seems incapable of responding to new crises and they accumulateShow this thread4 replies 5 retweets 96 likesShow this thread -

PoliMath @politicalmathReplying to @eigenrobotThe absolutely crazy thing is that they've set these goals for themselves where the only victory is an unachievable one. So they keep pressing people to get there and then, after a generation or two of making things worse, they say "oh well, I guess we lost".2 replies 10 retweets 92 likesShow this thread -

One wonders if there is a threshold of madness above which all institutions tumble or if, like the frogs in boiling water, institutions can get as mad as humanly possible, and nobody notices if it is done slowly enough

Some of them, e.g. the criminal justice system, are already there. Example: There is a man sitting in prison who everyone, including the prosecutor's office, agrees is innocent. However, because he had already exhausted his appeals, there is no mechanism for releasing him.

I don't mean there's no way to let him out: he could be pardoned or his sentence commuted. But everyone involved is in complete agreement with the fact that the system can't release this man from prison even though he didn't *do* anything.

If you're wondering how the prosecutor's office frames this, it goes right along with my point: they say that if they let him have another round of appeals, they have to let everybody have another round of appeals, and the system can't handle that.
