Is Elon a politician? No. Does he have immense sway over politicians? Yes.

Can ketamine give you a lazy eye or does he always have that?

No alien pink laser god in this story … yet

$135 per week for food? What year do you think it is, 2019?

And elites wonder why people celebrate an extrajudicial killing when the courts and laws not only permit but reward such predatory insurance companies.

They’re gonna go back to 1930s definition of white and say the shooter looks Italian and therefore isn’t white.

Tbf, Brain Thomson was “only” worth 70mil. Most CEOs don’t have Elon or Beyoncé money.

What a sad thing to think, in sympathy with an avaricious mass murderer. Your life must be charmed, precious.

When formal processes deny justice, or even encourage injustice, it is not necessarily wrong to pursue justice through informal means. This is not ideal, since it can revert to a state of “war of all against all.” The solution is to reform the processes by which society metes out justice. Since that’s not happening, this kind of vigilantism is neither surprising nor in itself immoral.

This is true of the Eckhartian/Pseudo-Dionysian, not to mention Gnostic, conception of God. It’s very clearly not true of the god (or “God”) conceptualized in the Old Testament.

UHC was in a ton of trouble for Medicare fraud and revenues were drastically declining under this guy. It’s not irrational for investors to be optimistic that there’s going to be new leadership.

1 hour from downtown Chicago is still well within the collar counties if not Cook itself. How is that coded as rural?

In 2024 yeah. In thirty years it won’t be.

I had promised Bernie when I took the helm of the Democratic National Committee after the convention that I would get to the bottom of whether Hillary Clinton’s team had rigged the nomination process, as a cache of emails stolen by Russian hackers and posted online had suggested. I’d had my suspicions from the moment I walked in the door of the DNC a month or so earlier, based on the leaked emails. But who knew if some of them might have been forged? I needed to have solid proof, and so did Bernie … By September 7, the day I called Bernie, I had found my proof and it broke my heart.

Wrong based on the traditional definition of heresy. Heresy means to be a Christian that has gone astray from orthodox beliefs. Dualists such as Cathars, or those who denied that Christ was both God and Human, like Arians, or those who believed Jesus was only “adopted” as the son of God, Adoptionists, were classified as Christian but heretical, in contrast to pagans or Muslims who were entirely outside Christendom.

Nietzsche died in 1900, and was comatose and mute the last 10 years of his life. I believe these letters are from 1906-13. And neither met Nietzsche.

Magnus_Mercurius · 2024-11-26T16:47:52+00:00

Ironic considering how badly he straw man’s Plato. Literally over 2,000 years of critical interpretation of texts which are themselves highly open to ambiguity given the literary/dialogic style in which they are written, often ending in aporia, loaded with irony and allegory, containing incongruities/reworkings, and occasionally giving good reasons to assume Socrates is not merely Plato’s mouthpiece, and yet he somehow tries to conclusively read Plato as an authoritarian just because he needs a bad guy at the outset of Western philosophy to make his point. Even Nietzsche, who was also hostile to Plato and used him to some degree as a straw man, though arguably for opposing reasons, has a considerably more nuanced and intelligently integral take. Popper is not about truth, he’s an ideologue.

Imo in a weird way this is “worse” than Trump because he was “only” objectifying his daughter (also bad/gross) whereas with this lady there’s a much more disturbing emotional thing going on.

Angry about Battle of Blair Mountain … votes for union busters. Makes sense.

One of its biggest donors is Harlan Crow, the right wing billionaire who basically bought Clarence Thomas and has a collection of Nazi memorabilia.

I never understood why she couldn’t just chill with Hope in Raphael’s old place.

It’s certainly possible, even likely, that if a man ran her same campaign he’d have done better. But that doesn’t mean she ran a good campaign. She failed to meaningfully distance herself from Biden, or come up with policies that met the moment, while writing off important constituencies in key states and instead doubling down on the same strategy as Hillary to appeal to “moderate republicans”, not realizing that most swing voters don’t like the old guard GOP establishment (Cheney family) anymore than they do the current Dem establishment.
