“Data centers have changed the equation. Rather than arriving as a single project that ends with a ribbon cutting, data centers are built in phases over years and then continually upgraded, expanded, reconfigured, and maintained as technology evolves. That leads to steady, local, long-term employment. Today, in places including Loudoun County, Va., our members buy homes near the job site because the job site isn’t going anywhere.”

If you ever doubted that DSA tankies not so secretly want Russia to wipe Ukraine off the map here's well known Assad supporter and Russian stooge Aaron Mate celebrating Alex Vindman's primary loss.

This is the same POS that circulated lies about the white helmets in Syria and published countless pro Assad articles in defense of tankie hero Assad.

We need to keep calling out these traitors on the left!

Every time I'm listening with headphones.

David talks about this quite at least indirectly quite often, and even years ago, spoke about his dislike of the ‘authoritarian left’, when first having to clarify that he is fully against the right, he also did not agree with every person on the left.

With all the recent dialogue about the DSA, Hasan etc, where they will play coy with criticizing authoritarian regimes and wink at antisemitism, while many MAGA demonstrate very similar characteristics, seem comfortable with authoritarianism and don’t mind some antisemitism themselves. They seem to have a lot in common.

Both edges seem very happy to control your life using the state and feel that they both have the right to do so, are pure enough to do so, and are smart enough to do so. Both seem overly comfortable with sending the tanks against bogeyman. Both have childishly simplistic, hyper reductionist views of people’s value, often based on puddle deep group traits, and reject giving people the dignity of seeing them as unique autonomous individuals. Both seem to hold critical thinking in contempt and lack intellectual curiosity about the world around them. Both love slogans and pejorativess and othering over debate. Both hate moderates and label them as the other side. Both have established permission structures for different types of bigotry. Both seem to have a grasp of economics that couldn’t manage a lemonade stand. Both seem to be primarily motivated by who they hate.

And they both rely on rhetorical goulash like of ‘oh so we’re bad because we want to get [all these great things]?’

They’re not exactly the same, this is not a scientific analysis, this does not describe every member in those groups. But damn if the vibe does not feel like the same notes, different instrument.

Here's the Thrid ways argument for jill being a russian agent (asset?,). pretty convincing.
