*pushes up nitpicker glasses* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor … . But yeah, this is the right take. Hope is that one day these folks will come around
visa is working on his ebook Retweeted JJ 「cιtιƶεɳƒιvε」 🏴☠️
JJ's razor thohttps://twitter.com/Ctzn5/status/739895135870148608 …
visa is working on his ebook added,
sidebar, i've been casually mocking Ryan's tweet the same way (saw a screenshot) but his actual words in the vid are much better
"an american idea that we're always working on perfecting". seems he understands reality even if his tweet lost the nuance
i didn't know this until just now. now i feel bad for making fun of him without watching the actual video for 2 days
Those words make it worse for me tbh
that's weird to me, lol
I don't like these weasely fortune cookie sentiments pretending to be political philosophy
This is an issue where acknowledgement of empirical realities is needed to show what a principle means to you
So "perfecting" could mean anything from "I'm prioritizing an intervention bill right now" to "markets will solve this by 4017 AD"
seems pretty clear to me all he was doing is acknowledging that we have an ideal which we don't live up to, but are slowly getting better at
iow i hear "we" to mean "Americans", not "me and my team of whiz-bang politicians", but hey maybe i'm wrong
