I hate people like this

“ “MAGA porn fulfills that desire for the masculine and the powerful,” says Josh, a 25-year-old Columbus, Ohio, resident who is a fan of these accounts. Josh, who is bisexual, says he’s been a Trump voter since 2020. This type of content is an outlet to deal with the “the strict requirements of performative liberalism” from some gay men in the community who pretend to care about issues that don’t matter to them, he adds. “You wouldn't understand the amount of messages I get from guys telling me they've had enough of putting on a liberal facade. People want to indulge in something a bit naughty and, you know, maybe they can be convinced to vote MAGA.” (Given the explicit nature of the trend and citing professional concerns, Josh asked to be identified by first name only.)”

this more recent study focusing on Europe broadly points on the same direction, although there is more variation on specific issues and on a country-by-country basis www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

“ Figure 6 presents the results of regression models where policy views are regressed on voter type separately. On every item, regular (N = 23,305) voters differ from peripheral voters (N = 5491), and this difference is even more pronounced when compared to perpetual non-voters (N = 1842). Perpetual non-voters and peripheral voters are more left-wing, more supportive of redistribution and environmental protection, more positive toward the EU, but less supportive of spending and less positive toward immigration. In sum, there is evidence that most of these divergences are starker between perpetual non-voters and regular voters. See Appendix J for detailed analyses and descriptions of each voter type. In line with Figure 5, these results are direct evidence that under higher turnout, the differences in policy views would be smaller.”

“ The estimated disparities between observed average voter positions and the hypothetical average positions of the electorate if non-voters were to vote suggest biases in the sample, typically extending up to 0.3 points. Among significant associations, in Denmark in 2019, with an 89% turnout rate, the average voter leaned 0.8 points more right-wing than the average non-voter, a bias that would decrease by 0.09 points under full turnout. Furthermore, in Northern Ireland in 2014, where turnout was 60%, voters had a 1.6-point conservative bias on same-sex marriage, which would be reduced by 0.6 points under full turnout. Or, a 1.3-point pro-Europe bias in Germany in 2014, with an 81% turnout, would be reduced by 0.24 points. Conversely, voters in the United Kingdom in 2014 tended to be less pro-Europe by 0.9 points, and this bias would be reduced by 0.32 points under full turnout.”

the last comprehensive study I could find on this with a quick search is from over 10 years ago so take this with a grain of salt, but non-voters being more left-wing seems to just be statistically true

graph showing non-voters are generally younger, poorer, and less white than those likely to vote in the then upcoming midterms

“ Far more nonvoters than voters favor activist government. About half of nonvoters (52%) say the government should do more to solve problems, while 40% say the government is doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals. The balance of opinion is reversed among likely voters: 56% say the government is doing too much, while 39% say the government should do more to solve problems.”

remembering this positively deranged string of takes

Bluesky post that reads:
“ At some point we ought to (we're not going to) have an adult conversation about the fact that private insurance companies employ around 2 million people in the US. We are not going to do something that's going to put 2 million people out of work.”

two bluesky posts, reading:
“ "we'll give them a UBI" the people who will be put out of work in insurance *do not want* to have their job replaced with a pittance stipend. they probably mostly do not want to become artists in their spare time. they want to work in financial/health services.”

continued:

“ most people, in fact, do not think their specific job can or should be replaced with a UBI

most people do not want to stop working and get a UBI

most people do not have personal projects they wish they could quit their job to do

most people want to keep doing their job”

bluesky post:
“ UBI is an interesting subject and is also clearly the fantasy of people for whom "I'm just going to stay in town over the summer, hang out with the townies" is still an aspirational lifestyle.”

this is killing me

Wikipedia page for “post-autistic economics”

Terminology:
The French term autisme has an older meaning than the English term autism and signifies "abnormal subjectivity, acceptance of fantasy rather than reality". However, Steve Keen also asserts that "neoclassical economics has the characteristics of an autistic child".

The pejorative reference to autism is considered offensive by some economists

you can make that argument but that doesn’t seem to fit with what Bhaskar Sunkara is advocating for in the above article. this reads to me like essentially the Soviet economy with a more widely applied kolhoz system, i.e. a commodity economy with centrally set prices

Screenshot:
“ In practice, this means decommodifying broad areas of life. Health care, education, transportation, energy, housing, and telecommunications are the infrastructure of a modern life. Organizing them through markets, through profit-seeking firms that ration by price rather than need, is a mistake — not only morally but practically, because the result is a system that is both more unequal and less efficient than public provision would be.”

Screenshot:
“ Organizing ownership and investment as a social function rather than a firm-level one is therefore essential. Public banks serve this role by holding productive assets in common, allocating capital on behalf of society as a whole. In this way, firms operate with real autonomy while remaining stewards rather than owners of social wealth. And the state can use a vast array of macroeconomic tools to influence the direction of development.”

Screenshot:
“ One additional mechanism that is essential for such an economy to remain both efficient and egalitarian over time is the creation of minimum wages, differentiated by occupation, to shape development itself. Rather than allowing labor markets to sort worker managers purely through localized bargaining power or sectoral rents, benchmark wages establish a floor that reflects collective priorities about dignity, skill, and social contribution.”

this was the original post that set all this off, a lesbian expression attraction to women with visible collar bones and saying it’s a shame they feel the need to remove them. I understand why people would have a problem with this but the level of vitriol seems totally unwarranted

Inessa@inessaanarchy· Apr 3

there’s tons of posts calling her some variation of an incel, it seems one step removed from saying “male socialized” or some shit. a lot of its from accounts I otherwise like so it kind of stings

Inessa@inessaanarchy· Apr 3

maybe I’m just tired after work but this seems like a really gross way to talk in response to a lesbian trans woman
