They think a great deal of their position; don't let one of them ever persuade you he doesn't, for if you were to proceed on that basis you'd be pulled up very short."
a character in Henry James' The Portrait of A Lady, describing the "radicalism" of the upper classes.

We are dealing with an entire class of people who think emotional manipulation is a form of intelligence.

I know it's a ridiculous claim in an objective sense that conservatives can't make good art, but in criticizing it, you really have to acknowledge that the meaning of the term "conservative" has drastically changed in the last few decades or so.

The people smugly gloating that young people will just have to 'find something else to do' in response to the social media bans are usually the exact same people who seethe with anger and make reports about 'loitering' whenever they have to share public spaces with teenagers.

the world's first trillionaire got a pedophile in office but we're supposed to trust these same governments when they say they're "protecting kids" when they ban social media for kids and implement age verification. lmao ok.

The whole problem with calling "the culture war" "a distraction from the class war" is, as I learn daily on here, there are loads of "far left" people who, like their right-wing counterparts, think "the working class" is exclusively a certain type of straight white man.

"The culture war is a distraction from the class war" is a distraction from the class war.
Culture and class are inextricable, especially when one class has the ability to violently impose their culture on another class, and one culture dominates the class hierarchy.

The making out/dead bedroom discourse is fascinating because once again women are saying “this is what I would like” and men are responding “you’re a fucking liar”

It would be really nice if people stopped writing interesting books that I want to read, because my TBR pile is now a pile of piles and I'm going to have to haunt a couple of libraries after I die to read everything I want to at this rate

Because teen girls stopped having grown mens babies the world is going to fall apart apparently 🙄
Because Millennials decided not to have children the housing crash for 4-5 bedroom homes is going to be epic.

“It’s strange how the idea of heaven is a completely untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a utopia of peace, unity and happiness..
But here on Earth it’s considered a crazy Communist ideology.”

“Beats Bears Battlestar Galactic” would definitely get somebody cancelled in 2026.
Rainn Wilson says "The Office" probably wouldn’t be made today, telling Fox News Digital that media trends have shifted left and that cancel culture makes it difficult for edgy comedies to thrive.

Just because everyone thinks you're an asshole doesn't mean you're counter-culture.
