  • Idk, unless there are actual allegations I don’t really see it. Adin Ross seems too stupid to take advantage of anyone.

  • This is probably far-fetched, but I'd like to think that Crooks was the first republican to actually be intellectually honest about Trump's connections to Jeffrey Epstein, and decided to take "kill your local pedophile" to its logical conclusion

    There's really no way to achieve socialism without a world war, is there

  • Yeah I've been having similar thoughts.

    2014-2020 or so was a period of significant ideological change & realignment in the US in a number of ways, but now things have kind of reached a new equilibrium, so the current ideological terrain is probably what we're going to have for a while. I think this is mostly because the internet & social media reached maximum penetration around 2014, and the 2014-2020 period was just the US's ideological terrain adjusting to that step change.

    (Admittedly, I also might be biased because 2014-2020 is also basically the period when I was 18-25 years old, so of course it seemed to me like a lot of things were in flux)

  • lmfao I didn’t even know that half of it

    Richard Hanania is a noxious racist, but these headlines do get a laugh out of me

    What do you think of this essay that Hal Draper wrote about the Israel-Palestine conflict in 1948, while the war was going on? "How to Defend Israel"

  • An abortion is when the doctor yanks the 36-week fetus out by its umbilical cord and then whips it against the table a bunch of times to kill it

  • Somebody quick post that Ragged Trousered Philanthropists passage. You know which one

  • Eh. They could have gotten Benny Morris

  • developers and their creatures in government were & are the reason everything is the way it is in our communities.

    I don’t think this is correct. I’m having trouble finding a source either way about this, but I don’t think developers are particularly pro-single-family-zoning. If anything I’d figure they’d be in favor of density & upzoning since that would allow them to build & sell more real estate.

    I think the main supporters of single-family zoning and Euclidean zoning are just conservative suburbanites who idealize “small towns” and really do think that’s the only correct way to construct a community.

  • Ehh. I don't think private equity is the main issue. I think that private equity firms would prefer to fund the construction of new housing if they could, but they can't, because of zoning laws. So they opt for the next best thing which is buying up existing housing stock and renting it.

    The crux of the problem is zoning laws, single-family zoning in particular. We either need to allow a bunch of undeveloped land to be developed, or we need to allow already-developed land to be converted into more dense forms of housing. I think the latter option is preferable.

  • Same. I have to give up and use Chrome to open it.
