    I cannot make you not the only one. I am unfamiliar w the blogger or the guy he’s referencing.

    This guys prose is pretentious as hell. The other guy sounds like a psychopath tho.

    all that made my brain hurt a little.

    public office should pay fabulously well, same with public servants, all should be competitive with private sector positions

    this is oddly unpopular but stop booing i'm right

    Marx was an elite shit poster. That's one of the sneaky funniest things about reading about history, how basically everyone important were these self entitled blow hards to some degree. There's obvious elite posters like Mark Twain, but the GOAT American poster is probably Benjamin Franklin.

    to be clear I don't intend to, if you follow some of the people I post regularly Serwer/Bouie/Yglesias/etc they'll like a post from somebody that gets into your feed and you'll end up ingesting the cliff notes version of what's going on passively

    that substack post got retweeted by two people I really like so I just read it. probably the third substack I've ever read. the day I start paying for substacks is the day I want tmb to put me down.

    I remember thinking at the time it was mostly just tech libertarians jacking off about how the future would be better for the West if it were engineered instead of basically randomly chosen by people's short sighted herd mentality

    They were also super obsessed with getting back to the "traditional family," which doesn't seem very libertarian but whatever

    libertarianism is weirdly not a position held for that long for almost anyone, it quickly transitions into more liberal/lefty spots like the author here, or just regressive fascism (or technofascism in this case)

    probably stems in part how you arrived at libertarianism in the first place how you exit it

    He's kind of gone the way of Greenwald. I used to enjoy his writing but the Russia stuff seems to have broken his brain. Anything short of a tape of Putting saying to Trump directly "I'll help you get elected, bro" and he'll continue denying any connection

    I also stopped listening to his podcast when they played clips of literally every time Klobuchar told that stupid Trump hair joke. It was seriously like 5 minutes of nothing but that joke

    Occasionally I get bored and feel a little masochistic and will mix it up w the idiots on the homeboard. They always throw Talibbi and Greenwald in my face as “leftist that admit the truth”.

    It sucks because the nuanced discussion of why they are shit now is a non starter.
