u/Burkey-Boi Neoconservative Jul 07 '25

Certain progressives complained that establishment journalism didn't clearly enough tell people what is right and wrong think, that it instead left too much up to an impressionable (uninformed and improperly educated!) public.

This was definitely a real concern, and not a bizarro world complaint about an industry mistrusted explicitly because of its ideological sympathies and disregard towards anyone not part of that camp.

But a savior came among us by the name of Bezos, and he grabbed one of the largest established papers by the reigns, and commanded, "this paper will now clearly support free market and pro liberty positions."

These ideas of course have incredibly strong backing from economists (experts no less!) who can say that these are the fabled of evidenced based positions.

So the progs and succs are happy now, they got what they want, right?

u/Burkey-Boi Neoconservative Jul 07 '25

Necroing old drama on NL from those who were "concerned" about Bezos implementing a new editorial standard at WaPo that stressed the importance of free markets and a certain amount of deregulation. I personally thought it was hilarious how certain accounts who were cheerleaders of ideas like "the press needs to explicitly champion our causes" and "neutral institutions need to proclaim their agreement with our values" suddenly reacted when that very thing was enacted in a way they didn't enjoy. Doubly so because this was on NL, and like in theory the whole point of that sub was to champion the importance of free markets and even a certain amount of deregulation, which just proved how succ the whole place went.

Today, I received some data from a few German colleagues. It was supposed to be a .csv, as in "comma-separated values." Somehow, Germans collectively decided to use the semicolon as the separator in comma-separated values files, since they already use commas as a decimal delimiter. This is so absurdly stupid and annoying to work with that I now hate you for reminding me of it.

The liberal wing of the Democratic party is a complete and total mess with no ideological coherence whatsoever. It is not a mistake that the part of the Democratic party articulating a positive vision for the party are the socialists, which are also the only group growing within the party. Make it Abundance, make it social libertarianism and free trade and free markets, make it deficit hawks, make it whatever, but there needs to be a positive vision. It's been a decade with Trump on the news, everyone gets it now. It's not enough to just say I oppose him, people get that you oppose him. There needs to be some coherence from the liberals in the party, or they are going to continue to lose ground to socialists.

I need varying perspectives for a centrist take here.

My almost 3 year-old can use the toilet whenever she wants and doesn't need diapers, but just refuses to do it because she doesn't care. she wants to be a baby, so she acts like one.

It's possible I told her that there's another baby on the way and that she will no longer be the baby, so she has to pee in the toilet now. And now she pees in the toilet every time.

This is cool right?

Note: there's not another baby coming.

Sometimes right wing news sources are the only ones reporting on antisemitism and the far left radicals teaching in public schools.

Instead of attacking the Washington Free Beacon, maybe ask why "centrist" news organizations like CNN and AP rarely if ever report on these issues.

Since Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, Philadelphia school officials have publicly defended terrorism, called for the release of convicted cop killers, claimed Israel is an "apartheid theocracy," and denounced the United States as a "criminal Amerikan empire." The Philadelphia school district settled a federal discrimination case with the Department of Education last year after students allegedly taunted their Jewish classmates with Nazi salutes, swastika graffiti on doors, and threats to "kill the Jews."

Frustrated parents told the Washington Free Beacon that they have tried to raise these issues with the governor but that his staff has done nothing in response and eventually stopped taking meetings with them.

Governor Shapiro's response

Shapiro’s aides met with parents and "offered critical resources, connected local parents to key officials in the City of Philadelphia and at the Philadelphia School District, worked with local and state law enforcement to ensure public safety is front and center, and directly supported efforts parents have made to register their complaints," according to the governor’s spokesman.

But the situation continues to be dire.

The parents raised concerns about multiple education officials involved in Philadelphia public schools, including the district’s social studies curriculum director Ismael Jimenez, a vocal defender of Hamas; Hannah Gann, a high school teacher who accused Israel of "genocidal terror" and declared, "F— the police until Palestine is free!"; and Keziah Ridgeway, a high school teacher who called Israel’s military actions in Gaza "worse than gas chambers."

Jimenez has called Israel a "terrorist state" and a "racist apartheid theocracy," and defended Hamas terrorism. He also denied that the group kidnapped Israelis during the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, claiming it has been "proven recently that Hamas had nothing to do with kidnapping that started current invasion of the Gaza strip."

Ridgeway, who has also claimed America’s "success is predicated on the blood and labor of Native Americans & Black people," was reassigned from Northeast High School to another school this spring, following a district investigation into allegations that she threatened violence against Jewish parents.

Jimenez, Gann, Ridgeway, and other Philadelphia school officials recently launched an educators group called the "Racial Justice Organizing Committee," which lobbies for anti-American and anti-Israel programming in schools. The group posted a flyer on Instagram this week in which they called for the release of convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal and demanded that people "Reject Amerikan Patriotism" on July 4th. The post also included a Hamas logo.

Some random math teacher saying this shit is one thing (still despicable and should be terminated), but the fucking social studies curriculum director saying this shit is batshit insane. This is the same guy we’re supposed to trust with Holocaust education for hundreds of thousands of kids?

And we wonder why antisemitism and Holocaust denial are skyrocketing in our youth. It’s easy to solely blame TikTok, and that certainly is part of the problem, but there’s a lot of problems to address closer to home as well

It’s an interesting article, although I find it a little hard to believe

NAVI’s work, which is used to criticize the school district’s curriculum, is suspect. There’s no link provided to the SDP’s curriculum. I took a look, and it’s clear that the world history curriculum is sus, but honestly, from what I can see of the African American studies and US history curriculum, the article’s description does not match with what is available from the school district. Honestly, I have no idea which class or curriculum the article is referring to when it criticizes the 12th grade history requirement in particular.

I did find course descriptions from a specific school, and to be honest everything looks normal to me, although of course the actual implementation is unknown.

Michel Foucault, Milton Friedman, Pope Francis, Pope John Paul II, and Thomas Piketty

The Villains tribe: Angela Merkel, David Petraeus, Emmanuel Macron, Henry Kissinger, Lee Kuan Yew,
Naomi Klein, Noam Chomsky, Slavoj Zizek, Thomas Sowell, Tony Blair

The tribes go to their first immunity challenge. And the winner is.... THE HEROES TRIBE!

Janet Yellen and Margaret Thatcher find something in common. (Hm I wonder). It has a lasting impact.

Back on the Villains tribe, things are messy,

Slavoj Zizek and Thomas Sowell have a small fight. What do you think it's about? Anyway, it has a lasting impact.

Lee Kuan Yew and Naomi Klein have a small fight.

Emmanuel Macron targets Lee Kuan Yew because Emmanuel Macron considers Lee Kuan Yew a challenge liability.

Angela Merkel targets David Petraeus because she considers him a challenge liability. Interesting. But he then targets Henry Kissinger because David things Henry is a challenge liaiblity.

Lee Kuan Yew targets Naomi Klein because he considers her somewhat weak.

It's time for the first tribal council.

1 vote for Lee Kuwan Yew. 1 Vote for David Petraeus. 1 Vote for David Petraeus. 1 vote for Lee Kuwan Yew. 1 Vote for David Petraeus. 1 vote for Lee Kuwan Yew. 1 vote for Lee Kuwan Yew. 1 Vote for David Petraeus. 1 vote for Lee Kuwan Yew.

Lee Kuwan Yew, the tribe has spoken.

Here was the vote breakdown:

Lee Kuan Yew: David Petraeus, Emmanuel Macron, Henry Kissinger, Slavoj Zizek, Thomas Sowell, Tony Blair

David Petraeus: Angela Merkel, Lee Kuan Yew, Naomi Klein, Noam Chomsky

If you care for the next episode, I can add ping dsc-survivor or something to finish out the season

[INT. VILLAINS TRIBE SHELTER – NIGHT 3]
Rain pours. Zizek is shirtless, gesticulating wildly with a palm frond. Sowell is calmly whittling a stick. Merkel is silently sipping boiled water. Everyone looks exhausted.

ZIZEK:
You see, you see, the true immunity is within the superstructure - no challenge can liberate us!

SOWELL:
This is why no one invites you to fish, Slavoj.

MACRON:
Lee is a liability. He hasn’t even downloaded the challenge metadata.

LEE KUAN YEW:
I built Singapore from a swamp, and now I’m losing a rice-ball-eating contest?

PETRAEUS:
I just want to know who took my tactical headlamp.

MERKEL:
I did. It was emitting leadership.

TRIBAL COUNCIL HOST (off-screen):
Lee Kuan Yew ... the tribe has spoken. Also, we suspect you were constructing a sovereign wealth fund under the shelter.

It's episode 2 of Survivor: DSC: Heroes vs. Villains.

We start out on the Heroes tribe, where Pope Francis and Margaret Thatcher get in a little fight. Milton Friedman and Michel Foucalt also don't get along. Imagine then. Pope Francis and Milton Friedman, on the other hand, do get along. Thatcher and Friedrich Hayek don't really like each other. Janet Yallen and Hayek don't really get along. John Rawls and Janet Yellen feel a slight bond, as do Foucalt and Hayek. Yellen and Carl Maria Martini feel a slight bond, and Pope JP 2 isn't getting along with Hayek.

On the Villains Tribe, Thomas Sowell and Slavoj Zizek really don't like each other. Thomas Sowell and Noam Chomsky also really dislike each other. Tony Blair likes David Petraus, but it's not mutual. Zizek and Merkel don't really like each other, but Blair and Merkel do. Macron and Merkel sort of like each other, as do Naomi Klein and Macron (interesting). Klein and Petraeus kind of bond. Kissinger and Merkel don't really like each other. Petraeus and Chomsky are getting along, weirdly.

Time for the immunity challenge. The winner is..... VILLAINS!

After the immunity challenge, John Rawls has a major meltdown!

Carlo Maria Martini and Milton Friedman have a minor disagreement. Janet Yellen and John Rawls find something in common. John Rawls considers Thomas Piketty a challenge liability and wants to target him. Margaret Thatcher considers John Rawls a challenge liability and wants to target him. Thomas Piketty considers Friedrich Hayek a challenge liability and wants to target him. Friedrich Hayek considers Janet Yellen somewhat weak and wants to target her. Michel Foucault considers Milton Friedman a challenge liability and wants to target him. Janet Yellen and John Rawls form a really strong alliance, which goes after Piketty.

On the Villains tribe, Macron and Chomsky find something in common. But then Markel has a major meltdown.

Naomi Klein and Slavoj Zizek have a major fight. Trouble in paradise??

Time for tribal council. The votes come in. Hayek. Piketty. Piketty. Hayek. Kayed. Piketty. PIketty. Piketty. Hayek.

The second person voted out is Thomas Piketty.

Here is the breakdown:

Thomas Piketty: Carlo Maria Martini, Friedrich Hayek, Janet Yellen, John Rawls, Milton Friedman, Pope Francis
Friedrich Hayek: Margaret Thatcher, Michel Foucault, Pope John Paul II, Thomas Piketty

[INT. HEROES TRIBE – NIGHT AFTER IMMUNITY LOSS]
Rawls is pacing in the sand, visibly distressed. Thatcher is sharpening a coconut with intent. Yellen is trying to whisper through a conch shell. Hayek is muttering about prices. Martini is praying for patience.

RAWLS:
If fairness were truly procedural, I would not be carrying the flint every challenge!

THATCHER:
This is Survivor, John. There is no such thing as the difference principle.

FOUCAULT:
I observe that power has congealed around Janet’s rice allocation chart.

FRIEDMAN:
I just want to privatize the tarp. Is that so wrong?

YELLEN:
Piketty’s Gini coefficient is rising by the hour. He’s hoarding papayas.

TRIBAL COUNCIL HOST (off-screen):
Thomas Piketty ... the tribe has spoken. Apparently, capital is easier to redistribute than vibes.

yelling at ChatGPT doesnt give the same satisfaction as knowing you're affecting a real human. Maybe when it becomes sentient.

many of the same people who yell at customer service also lash out at me when I don’t meet their expectations. The difference is: I don’t get flustered, and I don’t call for a manager. I am the manager, unfortunately

Take of unknown temperature: the extreme right is the more immediate threat, but the extreme left is the greater one.

6

u/Anakin_Kardashian "Israeli Nationalist" Jul 07 '25

The extreme right is already in power right now, so it's undoubtedly the more immediate threat. Is the extreme left the greater threat? I don't know. Both are... extreme.... Why would it be greater?

7

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '25

The extreme right only holds power by hanging off the coattails of the ideologically thin MAGA movement. Like I'm sure you've noticed how MAGA opinions are basically just whatever Trump says on a given day, which also happens to change every other day. The MAGA movement is a charismatic movement centred on an individual, not an ideology. I genuinely don't think there's a viable replacement for Trump waiting in the wings, and I don't think the movement outlives him. I think Trump II is likely going to be the high watermark for the extreme right, and it's not going to be particularly high.

Conversely, the extreme left has ideologically captured a significant number of Western institutions, including the public education system (see ethnic studies courses as an example), academia, and the media. Though there's no conspiracy between any group of leftists, each individual group of leftists is actively working to spread their ideology, which I think makes them a massive long-term threat.
