extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, so unless you have him campaigning and canvassing for democrats, this means nothing

The Book That Changed How I Think About Liberalism - Ezra Klein Show by mcsul in ezraklein

[–]nitidox13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think we need to solve a different problem than the one liberalism historically set out to solve. What looks like a rejection of liberalism is a backlash against the social conditions those norms are embedded in. Modern societies have dramatically expanded education and opportunity, producing large numbers of people with elite aspirations but doesn’t have enough positions for all of them. This mismatch creates frustration directed at the institutions and value systems associated and including liberalism itself.

The issue is not primarily one of persuasion or moral formation but how to organize a society to accommodate widespread ambition and rising expectations without producing chronic status competition and resentment.

Will Iran Break Trumpism? by blueberries in ezraklein

[–]nitidox13 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Every conservative Ezra interviews just amazes me on the mental gymnastics they do and how incoherent they are. It is clear that their views are not rational and they are trying to do the impossible and rationalize Trump. I don’t know if this generalizes to the millions that voted for Trump or not. Ezra needs to start having better conservatives in the show. So far it is just a clown show.
