What I wanna know is did he make the myum myum myum cookie monster voice when he did it? this could be the October surprise Republicans dream for if he didn't say "myum myum cookies" while biting the babies

The Book Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahnneman. Weird self help name, but its a book on biases, research which Kahnneman won the nobel prize. Once I started questioning my preconceptions it completely changed my whole perspective on the world. Its like that list of fallacies that you study in philo 101, but they're not like dialogical fallacies they appear in our own thinking. And "experts" are more likely to get fooled in their own fields of research than laypeople when asked trick questions

Only if you look at things a certain way. There's real danger to believing that you lack actual subjectivity, its like reverse solipsism, and is basically the worst version of doomerism.

If you look at things dialectically and Materialistically, subjectivity can't be avoided

It was Halloween though, who gives AF

That would sound amazing

Idk about that, but there's def similarities. I think its dangerous to mischaracterize things that aren't fascist as fascist, as popular movements which have done so seem to actually accelerate the spread of fascism. One a them dialectical historic contradictions.

But I don't say this to take the wind out of anyone's militancy against the all but unchecked rise of the anti-democratic authoritarian right. By the time something that is almost fascism becomes fully formed it is too late.

But it is worthwhile to use care when applying the term.

Right I was just joking. I've seen a lot of cases of this, not as pronounced as "husband loses his shit over wife's vote" but def the situation where two young people fall in love, have kids, and then the guy becomes very conservative whereas the woman is like normal-conservative where maybe she doesn't have all the right "takes" but she has a shred of common sense and maybe even decency to realize that women bleeding out in ERs due to complications from a miscarriage is not just cruel and pointless but unsustainable if certain theories of historical development are to be trusted.

Kind of ironic since Hitler based Germany's immigration laws on USA's.

Oh is this a thing that academics predicted? Welcome to the 1840s, Guardian

Also blaming the billionaires for destabilizing the economy is only partially true. The system is unstable, but billionaires profit from "instability", so sure they cause it as much as the system causes billionaires and millionaires.

The problem isn't who owns gigantic companies like Walmart and amazon and google and apple, the problem is that they can be privately owned. The instability isn't a bug so much as a feature. Its not the individuals, it's the system. Individuals can make adjustments, sometimes very critical ones but the system doesn't pick winners based on who does the best at adhering to externalized ideals, it picks winners based on who can create the most profit for owners, profit made of the immense amount of collected time and energy siphoned off of workers.

you get into these things when you're younger.

What, chauvanistic conservativism?
