  • On the timeline where Harambe wasn’t killed is the one where “policy matters”.

    And to be clear nobody is saying that policy won’t be crucial to her administration, rather it is meaningless at best (or detrimental at worst) to talk about it during the campaign.

    The fragile progressive/neoliberal big tent alliance needed to hold autocracy at bay need not get dragged into the weeds by bickering amongst themselves over hypothetical issues that won’t even matter unless they actually win first.

    Policy will matter as soon as MAGAs golden cow is sent to pasture. Mentally/physically/emotionally he won’t be viable as a candidate in 2028 (at which point Peter Thiel’s next Moldbug inspired ghoul will present themselves)

    Blame the algorithms, but yes otherwise you are correct. Being an intransigent shithead is a pathway to success in this world. The bully is rewarded endlessly while the victim is stigmatized.

    All of history’s greatest figures in our mind are people with the biggest body counts. Napoleon killed a whole generation of young men in Europe and was basically his era’s Hitler. Today he has Fanboys who rush to defend him online.

    That’s why Putin invades Ukraine and dgaf about bodies because he’s playing to an audience 300 years in the future who also dgaf about the victims anymore than we care about Napoleonic war casualties.

    We are a species of savage assholes and we survive today as the beneficiary’s of that legacy.
