So Trump's "major announcement" turned out to be an NFT sale, lmfao https://t.co/aoLLzxSNjZ — PolitiTweet.org

Overpopulation is one of those things that is not in any way a real problem, yet a certain kind of people can't stop being afraid of it (even today!) — PolitiTweet.org

If I wanted to read a book on the influence of May 1968 on France's subsequent political trajectory and culture, what would you all recommend? — PolitiTweet.org

@njhochman Aren’t you a good Burnhamite? The donations of the managerial class don’t speak to the activity of the capitalist class, which (per “Stealth Politics” are considerably more right-leaning) — PolitiTweet.org

@njhochman So they can host DEI symposia at their corporate HQs all they want, but their actual political spending activity has a very different impact — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@njhochman But this is a bit afield of the main point, which is that American politics is a package deal. And it’s very clear most billionaires would prefer the anti-woke low taxes party over the (sort of) wine party that wants to raise them — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@njhochman The kinds of causes they spend on and sort of issues they’re interested in. Soros isn’t a super-woke guy and a lot of his spending is international. His primary influence is Karl Popper, not Ibram Kendi — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@njhochman I would bet the balance is a lot more even than you’d think, especially if you count funding fossil fuels/anti-renewable as the right social opposite of “bankrolling climate.” There aren’t really any left-wing equivalents to Musk and Thiel either (Soros maybe, but not really) — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@njhochman For what it’s worth, the empirical evidence suggests otherwise. Socially liberal billionaires are a high profile anomaly, most fund the right because they want lower taxes https://t.co/EC0d5Bq0Xp — PolitiTweet.org

@AlexNowrasteh I bet @delong would be delighted by this! — PolitiTweet.org

I think journalists struggle to understand famous rich people sometimes because they don't really do self-criticism at all, whereas we are consumed by merciless depressed introspection — PolitiTweet.org

Seems inevitable that Trump is eventually going to post a picture of his head on Homelander's body https://t.co/OCphWQDSTP — PolitiTweet.org

I can't believe Sandy Hook was ten years ago. This video destroyed me. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@DavidAstinWalsh @PaulBlu @gabrielwinant Yep. Orwell's psychologizing of Burnham's project as a veiled normative celebration of power was also, I think, uncomfortably close to the mark. Side note: my edition of TMR includes Orwell's essay as the introduction, which is just brutal. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@DavidAstinWalsh @PaulBlu @gabrielwinant What I find strange about it, as a text, is that its analysis of the managerial class' rise is inextricably intertwined with its prediction of a future state-run economy. I do not for the life of me understand how his theory can be rescued in an intellectually honest manner. — PolitiTweet.org

@tauriqmoosa oh to be clear i only played hs at a competitive level, mtg is just for fun. but yeah turns out wasting a bunch of time learning the principles of collectible card games really helps lol — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@tauriqmoosa i skipped it entirely in my first playthrough, but then got into it in the second. my experience playing mtg and hearthstone at a high competitive level made it a lot easier to pick up but it has real depth! — PolitiTweet.org
