Imagine choosing the death of democracy over a tax hike. Billionaires would rather let the world starve than lose a fraction of their hoard. It’s not just greed; it’s an abomination.
My best friend died an eminently preventable death after being ignored by doctors and nurses and accused of being a "seeker" (they had security toss her bags and throw out her medications). Turned out she had a pulmonary embolism.
#Dnipro 💔 The Russian attack on the city lasted over 20 hours in waves. Russia killed six people and injured 47 more. Two of the injured are in critical condition. People lost their homes, loved ones. Russia deliberately attacked civilians and civilian infrastructure.

In our meritocracy we're told if we work hard we'll succeed, but the reverse logic is if we don't succeed we haven't worked hard enough, & in that system immigrants and benefit claimants are seen as the least deserving, those who get something for nothing, driving a sense of meritocratic humiliation
James O’Brien@mrjamesob.bsky.social · 3mo agoApart from the actual stats, the most reliable indicator that immigration is plunging (to our obvious economic detriment) is Nigel Farage turning his dishonest attentions to the mythical millions of benefits claimants.
As Michael Sandel explained in The Tyranny of Merit, as the promise of meritocracy reveals its emptiness, those raised in the system who do work hard but fail to advance feel a sense of meritocratic humiliation, fuelling the rise of populists like Farage www.theguardian.com/books/2020/s...
Michael Sandel: 'The populist backlash has been a revolt against the tyranny of merit'
The philosopher believes the liberal left’s pursuit of meritocracy has betrayed the working classes. His new book argues for a politics centred on dignity

The soldier betting on Maduro's capture while being involved in the raid to capture Maduro is such an abhorrent act you'd only expect it from members of Congress or the trump family.
My dad has lived his entire life in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania. The only time he moved away was to Mcadoo for 6 mnths. He voted for Trump the first time, realized he was more corrupt than the rest of them, and has become more liberal and even less racist in his retirement. Few of his hunting friends have
Every time there’s a crazy ass story about Palantir being comically evil I just kinda nod my head in the understanding that well yes, any pompous morons that named themselves after a corrupt object Sauron routinely uses to manipulate people in the Lord of the Rings are probably not on the level.

Orbán’s Ouster Doesn’t Prove His Critics Wrong
Many dictatorships have ended peacefully, so the end of Orbán’s rule in Hungary isn’t proof he was never really taking the country in an authoritarian direction, writes James Kirchick.

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said. I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort
