I've covered campus activism since the late 90s. Nothing that's happening on campuses now -- sit ins, building takeovers, encampments -- is at all outside the standard vernacular of student protest. What's unusual is administrators calling in riot cops on their own students
Its genuinely amusing to see "populist" Tucker whitewash Dugin, who has spent his life characterizing "Americanism" as "planetary idiocy" and calls ordinary people "insignificant swarms" who need to be governed by an intellectual elite of hard right "single ones."

This is all incredibly well said
New: A coalition of 185 social justice groups published an open letter today expressing support for campus protest encampments sweeping the country and calling on university administrators to end the brutal crackdowns of the student-led demonstrations. huffpost.com/entry/human-ri…
Lot of takes floating around about what is motivating student protestors (loneliness, peer pressure, trying to be trendy?) My take: protestors are primarily motivated by concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza
Note that almost no one in US media bothers defending Israel’s destruction of Gaza on its merits. Every criticism now is concern trolling, crybullying, anti-zoomer psychobabble and “Trump would be worse” voter-scolding. It’s all meta, desperate, and morally vacuous

Nice Howard Zinn quote (via @LukewSavage): 'They'll say we're disturbing the peace, but there is no peace. What really bothers them is that we are disturbing the war.'
No, seriously, Uber is deciding what driver gets what job based on their weight, whether they ever missed a payment, what political associations they have. Algorithmic wage discrimination should be made illegal before it becomes the dominant business model.

Imagine being the college dean who escorts snipers to the roof to take aim at your own students.
He was probably a Conservative MP because he believed in the things he consistently voted for - slashing taxes on the rich, destroying the welfare state, privatisation, that kind of thing. And he probably doesn’t think Labour poses any threat to those core beliefs?

Major revelation here about the findings of 4 key bureaus at the State Dept. Worth reading the whole thread+story. Note confirmation of my scoop last month that Jack Lew, Biden’s ambassador to Israel, is strongly defending Isr claims of complying with U.S. + international law.

An actual, bonafide instance of norm erosion in action:
In 2014, Obama's lawyers insisted a president had a unilateral right to extrajudicially assassinate Americans. 10 years later, Trump's lawyers are basing their assertions on the same argument. It's all bad. Maybe liberals shouldnt have eyerolled critics of Obama's move.
In Canada, calls are growing to boycott Loblaws for the month of May, but how do you boycott an oligopoly? Still, boycott or not, Canadians are paying for Galen Weston’s castle. NEW from @LukewSavage: ricochet.media/labour/class-w…

lawful protesting isn't even possible in authoritarian societies like the one Trump wants to transform America into. Just saying.
to be clear scolding random voters for not falling in line rather than using one’s platform to pressure the most powerful person on earth to do The Obvious Right Thing is 100% anti-politics, it’s saying people can’t change anything. THIS—make no mistake—is the height of nihilism

Ep. 99 Aleksandr Dugin is the most famous political philosopher in Russia. His ideas are considered so dangerous, the Ukrainian government murdered his daughter and Amazon won’t sell his books. We talked to him in Moscow.
The boring policy points I'm always making about Tucker & co.--that these are the kind of very strange *populists* who consistently side with elites against even the most milquetoast pro-worker measures like raising the minimum wage--are at least made luridly vivid by this shit:
Its genuinely amusing to see "populist" Tucker whitewash Dugin, who has spent his life characterizing "Americanism" as "planetary idiocy" and calls ordinary people "insignificant swarms" who need to be governed by an intellectual elite of hard right "single ones."

“Groups that signed the letter include Gen-Z for Change, Working Families Party, IfNotNow, Young Democrats of America Black Caucus, Movement for Black Lives, Sunrise Movement…” sweet, now just send in a few more cops to crack zoomer skull and they’ll all canvas for Biden!
New: A coalition of 185 social justice groups published an open letter today expressing support for campus protest encampments sweeping the country and calling on university administrators to end the brutal crackdowns of the student-led demonstrations. huffpost.com/entry/human-ri…
Don't forget "these are all out of touch rich kids" quietly fading as the encampments have cropped up at public colleges.
it's funny how the talking points have to vacillate so wildly day to day: "the college kids are devilish nazis and the army should run over them with bulldozers" somehow failed to resonate so let's try "the college kids are very stupid and doing this to get laid."
One problem with this account of politics is that it can't explain why certain issues are more compelling to certain groups than others. If the reasons were mostly arbitrary, politics would look random; in fact, people are growing more consistent and inflexible in their behavior.
This is probably right. Most people don't form political opinions through deep examination of the issues or reasoning from first principles. It's more like picking some particular fashion label or way of dressing. Especially for younger people, who face more peer pressure.
Pretty straightforward!
Columbia Professor @BruceRobbins6 on CNN with Fareed Zakaria and Bret Stephens.
This is such a profoundly strange way to live, constantly laundering your ideological preferences through pseudoscientific public opinion tea leaf-reading. Just say you disagree w/ the protestors and think killing 17,000+ Palestinian children is justified, it takes way less labor
Ivy League students might plausibly be a leading indicator for *elite* sentiment. But to a first approximation, they are irrelevant to forecasting popular sentiment. And to a second approximation, they are a contrary indicator.
Can't wait to hear @WillSloanEsq and @LukewSavage discuss this on the pod! (And notice Elon's response 🤣)
Comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld finally goes FULL BLAST on Left’s destruction of comedy: “This is the result of the extreme left, and PC crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people.” This moment is powerful.

Attention job seekers. I will not hire any recent graduate of Columbia, because that school is so tainted that I will not be able to trust in the character nor the educational attainment of any of its students. And I furthermore will not hire any older graduates either, because…
