And literally a month or so before RvW got over turned. Pelosi personally went and campaigned for him in his primary. He won by somewhere within a single percentage point if I recall correctly.
He’s one of the few openly anti-choice democrats left.
Something else to note is that Hakeem Jeffries was Pelosi’s acolyte who she helped take her place. So when people were talking about him being a “new generation” you know it’s bullshit. He’s there to stop party reform to the left/center, same as Pelosi was.
Well, the whole notion that things are on a spectrum is kind of false.
There are the people using what we know about the world right now to try to improve the conditions for all of us and who are willing to adjust course based on evidence and results, and then there are those clinging to failed notions of the past, whether it be an outdated philsophy from four hundred years ago or a failed theory from yesterday.
In that way it’s more of a binary that does not care if you’re anarchist, monarchist, communist, libertarian, democratic etc. If your ideas aren’t working and you fail to admit they aren’t working then you have become a conservative, regardless of how radical your idea was when it was concieved.
“Keep your democracy. I saw democracy failing somewhere and being displaced by authoritarianism so I’m just opting for going straight to authoritarianism. I am smort but, also, do not trust me with the ability to influence my own society. I also don’t see the irony of expressing here how my society should be run (even though I’m anti-democracy).”
This is exactly how I imagine the demographic that buys Cybertrucks.
The earth is not flat nor is it round, it’s like Flappy Bird.
“Please allow our machine to upload your development work directly to our servers in Schenzhen.”
Well, the mod kind of illustrates why anarchism is unviable by using their power in the heirarchy here to silence dissent.
Even with the small sphere of influence here in their own community, anarchists cannot run things without resorting to heirarchy as a literal first option.
A good object lesson, as in the real world this would be using a prison or a firing squad or whatever.
Unsure what the implication is. The Kent State shootings are common knowledge in the US, it’s taught in schools, no one needs to be tricked into knowing it happened.
