I also wasn’t aware there was a stereotype, though I’ve also been a fan of the records the band puts out and not, like, A Fan of The Band. I might have been missing something.

Yeah, that’s the stuff I mean. Actually surprised I haven’t encountered the term diglossia before, given my general reading material, though of the specific instances, less so.

Noah’s always struck me as a guy who’d love it if we could find some persuasive American branding for 21c CCP thought.

I absolutely could have googled those, but I was shooting more for comedy than anything else. I did presume based on β€œchinaglazer,” that the rest were going to be some species of internet entity, making the whole sentence one hyper-dense bit of excessive onlineness.

But thanks for the info!

Remarkably effective in some areas, but undercut in several high-salience areas: holding previous regime accountable, student loan forgiveness, somehow ending up owning COVID…

Yeah, it’s all fucking stupid.

Media needs to work harder than normal to draw a through line between his actions during his first term and their consequences in this term.

One of the unique consequences of Trump’s non-consecutive terms is that his first term just seems so long ago, buried in a different world. It’s an incorrect viewβ€”COVID happened during Trump 1β€”but there’s a tendency to basically ignore all the wild stuff that happened pre-COVID.

β€œIt becomes particularly difficult for [media] in democratic societies to take questions with real moral content seriously in public life. Morality involves a distinction between better and worse, good and bad, which seems to violate the democratic principle of tolerance.”

No, β€œwomen and people of color” is used to refer to an array of people with minority or historically oppressed status, not just varieties of women with white women as the default.

β€œI haven’t watched it and I’m Better than you for it and also I’m correct about how its surface-level goodness hides a malignant heart.”

Close reading was a mistake.

What Trump Sells Is Impunity Trump stands out in the GOP not for his racism, but his vision of emancipatory irresponsibility.

β€œIt was his very lifestyle that offered something worth aspiring to. Not a vision for society, but a vision for the individual: to say, do, and be whatever you want without consequenceβ€”not in spite of cruelty or selfishness, but because of those things.” www.liberalcurrents.com/what-trump-s...
