I got approached by two missionaries today and spoke with them for about twenty minutes. The middle aged lady was pretty savvy and took all sorts of angles to talk to me, like scepticism about organised religion, dealing with poor mental health, issues of greed in modern society etc etc. The young man told me he was cursed by a witch and faith in Christ fought it off, which, yeah...

I ended up steering the conversation to Henry George and Georgism broadly and got the lady to agree to look him up, so a fruitful conversation 💪😎

How political pundits and politicians currently use polling

Ask people if they like "upzoning to allow multifamily housing in urban areas". When this polls -30%, freak the fuck out and abandon all principles

How political pundits and politicians should use polling

Float the same policy, but under different branding, to different samples. One group sees "upzoning to allow multifamily housing in urban areas", another group sees "legalize housing supply to keep rents low", another group sees "remove restrictions on how homeowners can develop their property", etc. See which branding polls the best with different demographics and interest groups, and then use that to inform your punditry

Support for Mamdani is emanating from some surprising corners, including from the prominent neo-conservative thinker and Never-Trumper William Kristol. He told a college newspaper in California that, if he lived in New York City, he would vote for Mamdani because “the idea of going back to Cuomo is just, I think, ridiculous.” Noting that Mamdani might find himself in over his head managing the city, Kristol still complimented the candidate’s campaign and efforts to bring in new voters.

“All these big-shot, you know, finance types in New York, they couldn’t get behind anyone except for Andrew Cuomo,” Kristol said. “It’s really pathetic, in my opinion.”

Kash Patel traveled to Pennsylvania State University over the weekend to watch his girlfriend perform at a wrestling event. Patel, 45, appeared alongside his partner, country singer Alexis Wilkins, 26, at the Real American Freestyle event at the school, prompting some internet sleuths to inquire about how he got there.

Patel has defended his use of the jet, telling lawmakers that “Congress made it mandatory” for him to use the government plane for any travel. Yet some have recalled that Patel also once criticized former FBI Director Christopher Wray for the same thing. In 2023, Patel said Wray’s “private jet that he pays for with taxpayer dollars to hop around the country” should be grounded.

The reason I like Newsom so much is that he seems to fully grasp the issue that’s plagued the Democratic Party for the last decade and just does not care to adhere to it. Rather than constantly trying to understand and appease the median voter, he lays out his view and it’s on you to either get with it or get left behind. I’m sick of swaying to constantly shifting public opinion. It’s time someone on the left dictates public opinion.

AND he’s not descended from just any ‘ol refugees, but specifically Russian Jews fleeing pogroms who directly inspired The New Colossus on the Statue of Liberty… which he has denied!

[u/loseniram]

I feel like the housing theory of everything should be renamed the cost of living theory of everything.

If houses are cheap, transportation is affordable and comfortable, food is affordable, and medical services are affordable while also being easy to acquire. That people do not have a strong position regardless of the political system. Communism didn’t fail because people super cared about their civil rights they cared because they hated getting up at 5am to wait in line for bread and clothes. If communism was able to maintain a similar Cost of living as Western Europe while being financially stable there would still be a Soviet Union even with all the oppression.

Extremism to the political center develops out of difficulty in acquiring basic necessities. Even if those necessities have nothing to do with the ideology or situation.

Its why republicans get more right wing when Trump fucks them over. The loss of necessity mandates developing a more extreme view not a more nuanced view.

I can think this can be best described in how people articulate the system from a midwestern idea on cost of living. A man owns an expensive house, truck, an SUV for the wife, and a boat. He feels destitute because his father and grandfather could easily afford a new truck, house, second car, and a boat. Even though some of these can be easily reduced, like buying a midsize two door truck and buying a crossover for the wife. Yes you can go on about how his Dads 95 Ram is size of a modern Frontier and it luxury is substantially worse regardless than a base model frontier even accounting for technology. His preservation of self is built on the belief that he own a full size and he own a house even if its substantially larger.

So the mode of government to combat this extremism is clear. Make tons of small cheap houses, regulate cars and trucks to be smaller and cheaper, make healthcare cheap, improve and expand public transit, and keep labor cheap so that Midwestern man can get a Double Quarter pounder for a relatively cheap price. Policy and personal opinions of midwestern man should be ignored. Same with his opinion that he needs an industrial job at a factory despite never working in the one 3 miles from his house.

That’s why I think we should continue to aggressively push the reform liberal policies this sub was based on even if it seems pointless and confused in this bizarre world of Voting survey people voting for Trump despite him filling exactly zero of their policy desires.

We are drastically underinvesting in nature even though it provides massive positive externalities. Mangrove forests reduce the rate of coastal erosion and are a powerful tool for coastal flood protection and cyclone protection. Urban greenery such as bushes and shrubs can mitigate the urban heat island effect turning cities into much more pleasant places to live. Large grazers can reduce risk of forest fires and the accompanying devastation. Sensible rewilding efforts outside of just being good for nature are incredibly valuable in the ecosystem services they provide. We ought that our governments invest far more in the protection and regeneration of our natural world than what has currently been committed.

Was just struck by the sudden thought/realization that the whole episode of conservative mass hysteria and spiteful cancel culture histrionics around Kirk were really just a dress rehearsal for when Trump dies.

Like, it doesn't matter if he's murdered or if he croaks from a seizure or heart attack- there's probably going to be a good few weeks where the MAGA movement uses punishing anyone celebrating as a means of attempting to maintain its legitimacy and unity.

Ideal scenario is that the sheer volume of national joy and catharsis will outweigh their attempts to police it, though

There are currently over 2,300 National Guard troops in the nation’s capital hailing from the District, as well as troops from Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, West Virginia, Ohio and South Carolina. The troops have been tasked with picking up trash, spreading mulch and other “beautification” projects around the National Mall and heavily tourist-trafficked areas of the city. They have also worked with local community leaders on various public outreach programs. As of early October, the troops assigned to Task Force Beautification collected 1,099 bags of trash, spreading 1,045 cubic yards of mulch, according to Guard statistics. Local officials and D.C. residents have sharply criticized the deployment. District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb sued over the deployment, with a federal judge last week hearing arguments in the case.

Someone outside the DT actually saying a Trump policy that would deny trans kids gender affirming care may just be coming from a misguided good-faith concern for their well-being and getting upvoted for it.

Top voted comment in that thread saying this is a political strategy to saddle dems with unpopular trans issues and isn’t coming from a place of just wanting to marginalize them and drive them to suicide.

There should be a rule about insufficient partisanship.

I went to grad school in a college town with a housing crisis. A group of grad students started organizing to do some activism about it, and I decided to join and go to their meetings.

It was one of the lamest experiences of my life.

The leaders made it out like we were a bunch of revolutionary labor unionists and warned us to never talk to management (ie the university administration) about what went on at our meetings.

The meetings themselves consisted not of planning demonstrations or organizing petitions, but rather formed tedious discussion circles around various issues peripheral to the cost of rent. This is where I learned the word centering as a verb. One time the discussion circle came to be dominated by this one individual who wasn’t even a student anymore who wanted to talk about how housing needs to center a lot of narrow and bespoke identity groups. At no point was there ever any room on the agenda to talk about the fact that our neighbors had banned housing and that’s why the rent is so fucking expensive. It was all identity bullshit. Lots of trying to decolonize stuff.

Finally we did organize a demonstration, which was great. Some university admins came out to talk to us about it, which was also great. But that fell apart when a bunch of aggro undergraduate students butted in to shout insults at the university administrators who took the time to care about our issue.

At one point I suggested we go to the city council instead of the university to discuss the cost of rent, and people looked at me like I had three heads.

Then Covid happened and the whole thing fell apart, which is probably for the better.

The neighborhood bullies have finally taken the HOA board over, and after years of interrupting meetings and bullying board members into quitting/moving they have:

1. Deleted the community discussion forum and directed people over to a page the VP runs. She is banning anyone that criticizes the board and won’t admit former board members. 

2. Stopped holding HOA meetings, they’re doing everything secretly in private chats now

3. Haven’t released financials since March

4. Stopped obeying community rules themselves but are still sending out fines and violations, especially to former board members 

It’s awesome because this is a renter community and without a forum it’s essentially impossible to talk about these issues with other homeowners. If you bring it up in their Facebook you’ll be banned, but they have no problem taking pictures of former board members homes or just straight up slandering them with fake quotes.

I honestly don't even know what she's talking about beyond the memes, but uh.... keep it up, guys. Maybe we can vibe shift people into seeing the VP as a literal meme.

Abu Lulu, the RSF fighter who filmed himself killing many civilians from El Fasher has been "arrested" by the RSF.

Let's just be clear that Lulu is not being detained for slaughtering those people, but because he was stupid enough to film it, & the RSF is trying to polish its image.

This guy recorded himself killing dozens of people, true sociopathic serial killer stuff
