No like I mean they actually did this. A team of woke zillennials got lost in the moment and decided it was really important that an organisation devoted to establishing a world government should post this so that history could look back and know they took a stand

Every time people say that Elon Musk and Peter Thiel support technocracy, I feel compelled to defend its honour despite my opposition to it. Technocracy is not stupid tech billionaires running the world, it's an Anthony Fauci bio-Promethean vanguard state with a Jerome Powell Fed. Have some respect

Sanchez wins the election by one vote. He tries to find out who the last vote was. It was Fujimori. He then says to Fujimori “after all this you still voted for me?” Sanchez then changes his vote to Fujimori which then makes it a tie. They both get very emotional. Fujimori then leans in and makes out with Sanchez on national television. They run away and live the rest of their lives together. Which leaves George Forsyth as the 16th president of the Republic of Peru. The End.

Wow what a great statement, thank you Bernie

Bernie Sanders giving the standard stump post to endorse Graham Platner, but deliberately poorly edited to be in support of Tom Steyer instead

Happy Pride Month, California

Becerra pressed a fat little finger onto Steyer’s lips and whispered, “This state isn’t big enough for the two of us. But mi amor, this voting booth is.”

Steyer gasped, “Don’t get too cocky. I’ll show you what a real vote flip looks like,” and smirked.

Why on earth did Paul Tsongas put this in his campaign material

Occasionally individuals not blessed with a coherent culture will rise
above their circumstances and achieve greatness.
Nations never do.
A nation's fate is inescapably a function of the strength of its culture.
History certainly shows us that. Coherent binding cultures create great
nations for good or for ill. Centrifugal national cultures create dissolu-
tion and disarray, always for ill.
Why does history record great advances by a people in a particular
era and no advances by a different people in precisely the same era?
Why do a people advance in one time period and then seem to regress in
another?
The answer does not lie in factors like natural resources, geography
or political systems alone.
Often, the difference is culture.
Will, discipline, dedication, commitment, patriotism, togetherness,
caring, reaching out - these are the manifestations of a culture.

He was also the only Democrat in the 2020 primary to openly support packing the court, which was probably not a good thing to broadcast back then but it does show the right spirit. Obviously still wouldn't have picked him but shows he's hardly a political coward

Chart in which 2020 democratic primary candidates are asked if they support packing the court, Steyer is the only one to say yes unequivocally

The regime is pretty much nothing without the right set of expectations surrounding it. It is powerful because as a society, we believe it to be. If we would rather it be weak, we should create spectacles that make others believe it to be so. And maybe we will even convince ourselves along the way.

Large protests, much like the acts of resistance seen in Minneapolis, work to shift the narrative, but not only that; they change the calculus for decision-makers in corporate boardrooms and foreign capitals, in just the same way Nixon feared. When the regime cracks down, it generates more resistance. When it is forced to yield, it’s a sign to the would-be collaborators that the regime might not be so consolidated after all, and that maybe it’s not the best investment.

My proposal: liberals can do a little bit of cargo cult consolidation, as a treat www.liberalcurrents.com/credibility-...

Some have described the regime as attempting a strategy of ‘cargo cult authoritarianism’, in which they mistake reproducing the symbols of a consolidated authoritarian regime (personalistic displays, troops in the streets, audacity and the like) with actually achieving that regime consolidation. I think this is a reasonable description of how it has behaved, but I think it’s worth noting that this kind of signalling does actually have an effect, even if a lot of the effect is the negative backlash it produces. We saw that in the early months of the administration, all kinds of elites were willing to prostrate themselves before the regime and collaborate, presumably out of some sense that consolidation was inevitable and was already happening. The strategic error was in mistaking the signalling with the actual victory.

What I’m suggesting is that a ’cargo cult democratic renewal’ which uses symbols like bold reform and major house-cleaning to give off a sense of a long-term return to constitutional democratic government might give the next Democratic president forward momentum on their agenda. The other hallmarks of democratic renewal, such as a flourishing of third spaces and increased social trust, simply do not have the same narrative impact as events with clear personalities and individuals involved. However, we cannot trick ourselves into believing that consequences are all that is necessary. In the background, there must always be the other less glamorous efforts to overcome the fascist degradation of our politics.

A brief summary of the article I wrote, using something I made for the occasion

The myth of "consensual" collaboration

Donald Trump: "I consent"
Larry Ellison: "I consent"
The Democrats (God willing): "I won't!"

Isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?

Last year I was doing some thinking about what the starting conditions would look like in 2029 (was briefly considering making a mod where you play as a revanchist Democrat and can consolidate a transitional authoritarian state) I would post a question mockup but the writing isn't so good
