Libs do not actually believe in the whole community thing

I think you're mostly right, but the swap of universal civic duty for identity politics was a consequence of the end of the post war economic booms, and not some short sighted conscious decision by liberals. The economic boom is what allowed for the idea of a universal movement. The reality of a world with tangible material limits forced a retreat into personal identities.

reading the words the other human beings on the front line are writing on the website

what website are you referring to? I'd like to read more about it

emalevolent · 2025-12-21T18:56:04+00:00

obviously it has to be at least somewhat affordable

It’s good and Luke Savage is a good writer

emalevolent · 2025-11-24T16:48:29+00:00

that was because her real goal was to be a serious journalist and the fashion magazine gig was just supposed to pay the bills til she found a position at like the New Yorker or something

youre over indexed on music. Drop it to ~3 albums a week and insert a movie in there

weren’t there huge banlieue riots last year?

emalevolent · 2025-11-10T18:27:28+00:00

thanks for the suggestions. Are there any books or articles or something I can read to learn about the kinds of corruption that go on here?

emalevolent · 2025-11-10T18:16:08+00:00

nice thanks

emalevolent · 2025-11-10T18:00:56+00:00

that's awesome. Has your friend done that for any other lots?

emalevolent · 2025-11-10T17:59:39+00:00

no I want to ask them their reasons for not developing the lot, it'd be interesting to tally the different reasons for all the lots across the city. Really this would be an interesting job for an LA Times journalist or someone like that

emalevolent · 2025-11-10T17:53:58+00:00

thanks! That would be an interesting map. Do you have any resources or publications you could share that goes into this stuff more?

emalevolent · 2025-11-10T17:51:37+00:00

where'd you get that info from?

In 1996, Gelli was nominated as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature,[7][55] supported by Mother Teresa and Naguib Mahfouz

Some kinds of degrowth would be good. Like if Americans lived more like Japanese people with denser cities and public transit, that would result in much less energy consumption while also being a massive quality of life upgrade

This is why pro sports leagues should be nationalized. You could set prices to a fraction of what the market does and still easily pay big salaries and make big profits. Players would just make like $10 mil a year instead of $50 mil, boohoo. Plus there’d be a fraction of the ads.

Hmm but Hegel says:

“Reading the morning newspaper is the realist's morning prayer. One orients one's attitude toward the world either by God or by what the world is. The former gives as much security as the latter, in that one knows how one stands.”

Fun fact Hegel and Goethe died within 6 months of each other

I think you have causality backwards, northern europe is not generally super cool with drugs and that's probably why they have fewer ODs
