  • The problem with you yanks is that you're too far up your own asses. How predictable is it that the whole discussion under this post is about your last election. Nobody cares any more. Your country is lead by a fascist doing fascist things to you and abroad. And all you do is bicker about what happened half a year ago. Your country is wading in the waters of Rubicon, what are you going to do NOW about it?

  • I only got an emotional reaction from a Pollock painting when I saw it physically, up close. Photos do not convey anything at all. As a physical object it was sublime.

  • No tomato throwing here because I just wish it were true because it sounds simple. But I just don't think it works. So long as work exploitation and the profit motive persist, any gains will always be precarious. I mean, it's much harder to build something than to tear it down, as we also see with the DOGE monkey business. We have to win every time but they have to win once.

    So I would argue that certain fundamental moral imperatives would have to be codified as inalienable rights, constitutionally and declaratively. So for example it should come to be considered illegal and morally repugnant to rent humans, just as it is to buy them. It should also be considered illegal hoarding and gross to pass down intergenerational ownership of capital ("passive assets", "investments", and the like, I'm not talking about personal property).

    But the thing is once stuff like that are enacted, there is no longer anything to be called "capitalism" any more.

  • No but it matters. The return to an idealized past is fascist politics because it is not really a "return", since the "idealized past" is an unreachable fiction. So by necessity, it is a radical departure from the present towards an idealist future.

    Conservatism is, well conservative. It thinks that things are the way they are out of a necessity beyond the fickle whims of this or that person. And therefore change enacted by people is always suspect because it doesn't understand that necessity. Chesterton's fence is the perfect model.

    Now both conservatism and fascism are reactionary in relation to progressivism. But the deep distrust you see among some traditional conservatives towards Trump is no accident and it is not an indication of some "strong moral core". It is a natural response of true conservatism in the face of the radical reactionary politics of fascism.

    It's not just splitting hairs because this is an important fault line in the enemy camp that can be leveraged to create cracks.
