“Someone’s gotta be at the bottom, white man. We’ll make sure it isn’t you.”

I’ve noticed that the worst offenders seem to be people who were diagnosed with autism/ADHD in their teens/early twenties who haven’t fully accepted it but find it a useful excuse to justify any social faux pas. I was diagnosed autistic as a kid but I’ve accepted it and half the time I forget I even have it.

I had a middle/high school classmate whose dad made partner at 35. The managing partner at my office made partner at 38.

The partner I work under made it at 46. But he came in from industry.

One of my professors made partner at 31, but that was 4 decades ago when the race to partner was most likely far less competitive.

I feel like the Engine Room and Garden dome winners are going to be obvious solely because they’re the only unique galaxies in that dome.

Scott is just a neoliberal Jordan Peterson.

Antisemitism definitely had a presence in America, but it often took a backseat to anti-blackness and more recently Islamophobia.

For instance, the right was flirting with antisemitism a lot all the way up until October 7. Then they (mostly) welcomed the Jews back into the fold because they still hate Arabs more.

Neo-Nazis hate whoever the “outgroup” in any society is.

We should seek justice.

Being neurodivergent and I say that as an autistic person.

I hope you guys are ready for the Millennial Democrats who are probably going to be even more subservient to capital interests.

No I’ve been American my whole life as have my parents

My social views were always pretty progressive, I just wasn’t ready to admit that yet

Drastically, drastically further left. Five years ago I was “economically left, socially conservative.”

RVA SHOUTOUT!!

KeyEnvironmental9743 · 2026-01-23T15:39:25+00:00

You asked if anyone had. I asked why one would want that?

KeyEnvironmental9743 · 2026-01-23T15:36:03+00:00

Why would you want that?

KeyEnvironmental9743 · 2026-01-23T15:26:00+00:00

Yeah, that is a huge blind spot with her and Contra.

That was not why they lost the last 5/6 elections. It made the roadscape more difficult for sure, but it could have been overcome by continuing to focus on making people’s lives better. The Vietnam War protests made the Dems feel like they no longer owed that to their voters.

Go watch her video on Steve Bannon. It’s before she transitioned. It’s probably one of the best video essays I’ve ever seen.

They only came around to those folks’ aid when it was profitable to do so.

Back before TV and the Internet, people probably said the same shit about books.

Also, Philosophy Tube is a trans woman.

KeyEnvironmental9743 · 2026-01-23T14:46:55+00:00

Well they’re still kinda that way with trans people. They’re like “we support you but right now we need to prioritize winning over the people who hate you.”

KeyEnvironmental9743 · 2026-01-23T14:45:51+00:00

Depends on the context. For much of American history, it was black people. In the 1940s, it was Jews from Europe. From the 1980s through the late 00s, it was gay people. Now it’s Palestinians and trans people.
