I don’t know the guy, but I wouldn’t assume he hasn’t made a career out of lying for the Democrats, and is not the least bit confused about what he’s doing.
People can't walk outside and look at the world. They're just incapable. It's impossible.
Nothing you see with your own eyes is real. Only things that the voices tell you
The all caps thing is like a sentence from a religious tract. Just change a letter - PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO THE TRUTH OF THE WORD.
In theory, the internet is the most fucking communist thing you can imagine. Imagine being able to access all of humanity’s knowledge at an instant’s notice. Imagine being able to connect with a human hundreds of thousands of miles away. Imagine being able to get firsthand information about someone else’s life experience without any filter
PSYCH Lol you’re a fucking dreamer, the internet only ever had utility in the context of enriching already incomprehensibly rich assholes and allowing them to invent reality
Internet is one of the biggest contradictions of the current society, all of its benefits can be traced to the leftist/libertarian roots of its core philosophy, and the rest of its history is capitalists struggling for control while trying to hide and minimize all the ways they benefit from the socialist parts of the internet
Americans think crime is on the rise this year
that's been true every year since like 1953
from secondhand reports, mostly media.
You know what? I called the White House switchboard and I said "I need to speak with President Biden because I need to confirm his lack of mental acuity. It seems to me that his brainpan is filled with rancid Delaware clam chowder." Long story short - they wouldn't set up a meeting.
Stancil develops a theory of ideology
He's a bad take machine. Here's one fresh off the griddle.
As ever, a defining dynamic of American society is "rich people claiming to speak for poor people." Middle class office workers and college grads on Twitter saying "think of the working class suffering under Biden!" - while the working class is doing GREAT under Biden
On one hand, it is correct that crime rate is not rising despite most people thinking it is and that the media plays a major factor into people thinking that way.
On the other hand, people can directly feel how bad they have it economically, and you can easily look up whatever Biden has said most recently to check his coherence.
This guy has been on a tear lately. I think subconsciously he’s realized that he’s backed himself into an untenable position. He can’t properly defend his position on the merits because he doesn’t understand the fundamentals (not to mention that he’s wrong), but he also can’t defend his position on vibes because he’s actively arguing against those vibes. He is a stateless citizen in the world of discourse. I respect his utter unwillingness to back down, though. Semper post.
I think subconsciously
I agree. I think he broke his own brain.
I've followed him for years and before he was willing to criticize the dems. But for about the last six months to a year all he does is whine on and on about this pet topics like the fact Bidenomics is working and Trump will kill democracy. He also got trolly. Before he got into arguments with leftists before but I never paid attention. It was "you're wrong!" stuff that's common on the net. But with his whining he's constantly punching left.
Trump is polling ahead of Biden in every swing state. Biden is a fucking horrible candidate who is dead in the water. Stancil can be foolish but he's not a total fool and in some fashion he understands if the Biden and the dems actually wanted to win - they'd run on other things. And they would have started to do that already. This is pure fantasy but they could say they if they take they house - they will pass federal legislation on abortion, voting, etc. Plus they say they'd pass a federal minimum wage law.
I think a lot of what he's doing is talking to himself out loud in public because he knows he has to be right about everything yet why do so many people tell him all the time that he's wrong? He knows vote scolding about Bidenomics and the importance of democracy is a ginormous loser but he just can't help himself from doing it nearly every single day.
He’s becoming a poster boy for the “the system cannot fail, we can only fail the system” crowd. Wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a cushy sinecure position in the Democrat-adjacent universe in the near future.
a poster boy
I entirely agree.
a cushy sinecure
I don't think so. I know he's a lawyer. He must have some job where if he doesn't use swear words, he isn't vile, he isn't directly hateful - he can punch left on Twitter to his heart's content. He's snarky and sarcastic when he punches left which is not the way to punch if you want a cushy dem gig. Instead you retweet and if you actually tweet/punch yourself - you phrase things so there's enough vagueness and complexity you can say people misunderstand you and/or misquoted you. Nate Silver is a master of that.
