THESE are the sorts of reflections that America's left/progressives need right now.
"I have to say that I now doubt the practical effectiveness of some of the policies I embraced in previous years. Others still seem like good ideas, but I’ve been dismayed at their botched implementation where they were tried." -- Noah Smith
"In 2012 or 2019, progressivism felt like it had forward momentum; now it feels adrift."
Noah concludes that the typical progressive causes are "dead in the water" or stuck amid an America public that no longer cherishes them. He's happy to wait that out, hoping (in vain?) for a change next decade or so.
The other take-away imperative there would be to ask the question: Maybe--just maybe--I got these goals, values, ends, and beliefs _wrong_?
Pssst @The Progressive Bitcoiner @Trey Walsh @Margot Paez / jyn urso etc
What remains of the progressive project?
Feeling adrift in the 2020s.
Very ironic and fitting, then, that this election was decided -- in no small part -- by dudes on bro podcasts.
The symmetry is BEAUTIFUL

Opinion | Voters to Elites: Do You See Me Now? (Published 2024)
Donald Trump is a monstrous narcissist, but there’s something off about an educated class that looks in the mirror of society and sees only itself.
Sweetest sats I ever earned.

Bitcoin is not an escape hatch to stop caring about the political process.
