  1. luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.

  2. Fascinating thread from Ohio State Senator Beth Liston, who is a Democrat.

    Liston was prepared to go on a trip to Israel and occupied Palestine but declared her intention to not do so after being pressed by constituents.

I have cancelled a planned legislative trip to Israel. My hope had been to learn and ask tough questions of the Israeli
government actions, particularly related to humanitarian aide in Gaza. I am grateful to the constituents who helped me see the harm of this approach. 1/5

As a minority member in the Ohio legislature, much of my effectiveness is in committee asking questions - with the goal of pointing out issues and improving policy. It was this I had in mind as part of the Ohio delegation on this trip. 2/5

In preparation for this trip, I studied history books, news articles, NGO publications, and congressional reports. I met with Jewish and Palestinian constituents to arm myself against biased one sided perspectives, and with a list of things to ask. 3/5

What I decided was that I didn't just need to guard against propaganda. I WAS the propaganda in this sponsored trip. I did not want to be used as a tool in support of the Israeli government actions. I cancelled the trip. 4/5

  3. the anti college stuff just doesn't really land imo

    Insane no matter the context, but context: Tyler Robinson attended precisely one semester of college, doing pre engineering, in a deep red state. He dropped out to be an electrician apprentice. The assertion that this dude was radicalized by far left professors is beyond fantasy.

  5. this was true of Nazism as well, which was an argument that Germany had only lost World War I because of their failure to double down on the very things which caused their loss. the propaganda which had sustained the war grew and mutated beyond military control until it ruled autonomously.

    ultimately i think the central thesis of trumpism might be true nihilism, just the absolute disdain for the idea that anything matters at all beyond winning an argument in the eyes of your supporters. there is no such thing as competence. there is only loyalty and occasionally bad press. that’s it
