I'm sure this rates as a 'hot dog' in your suffragettist tea parties, sweetheart, but you should really take a pep pill and cool off your overheating uterus. Nothing to fear, darling. Your position won't be diminished by your absence. A good-thinking man will be found to argue for your intellectual position who can voice it properly with manner and decorum and a minimum of hysteria.

I never considered the fact that Mandami was lying about the totality of his platform to get elected and he'd govern like any other neoliberal. If that's what you mean by 'be more pragmatic', then yes, that was not in the scope of possibilities I was thinking about. But unlike the other DSA dogcatcher positions, he's made big promises that require big money and big buy-in from the institutions, and there's no way to 'pragmatically' magic up billions of dollars or defy the laws of supply and demand, so I don't know what you're going on about.

The leftist project to make schools, hospitals, churches, courtrooms, home depot parking lots, and anywhere else illegal aliens may go sanctuaries - in the medievalist sense of the term - is obvious nonsense. Do they want open borders or not? The Right isn't Charlie Brown, where you can falsely claim to be rule-of-law but decline to enforce immigration ones because of 'reasons'. It's blindingly obvious they're objecting to the enforcement in comparison to... what? A claw machine from the sky? Asking nicely?
The football has been pulled too many times.

'Surely, this ancient text from the bad pre-progressive times will get the chuds to realize the ridiculousness of their positions', thought the liberal.
"Recite the verse of the Quran, the Surah An-Nisa 34," said Malik Chad al-Ahmar Basaidi, before dabbing on the crying leftist.

Mandani was a shoo-in.
Virginia flipping all blue was not unexpected, but probably pointing to the growing strength of NoVA compared to the rest of the state.
New Jersey is probably 2-3 cycles away from being a swing state, but Trump is probably too divisive of a character to do that quite yet.

By the contrary: Hanania is always wrong. If Hanania said the sky is blue and the sun rises in the east I'd look outside. At this point he's mostly Nick Fuente's hypeman and his desperate calls to authority for SOMEONE to put the naughty rightoid into time-out is pathetic. Hanania is a figure of no intellectual value and even less political valence and I will downvote any OP that mentions him as an authority on... well, anything.

Say, if you were a single white woman riding alone at the back of the bus, and it happened
A) in the 1930s, she'd get some looks: the bus driver would pull her to the front, and if a psychotic vagrant drew a knife on her every man aboard would jump him
B) in the 2020s, she'd be left alone, and die alone as everyone else walked away
Which society feels healthier?

The problem is that low impulse control people say "Ha, I'm not like those other idiots" and then mag dump at IHOP.
The truth is, you don't know who you are, deep down inside, until your life is on the line. A rational well meaning person that operates 99.9% of the time in a rational and logical manner can turn into a bloodthirsty animal in the outlier. Most Americans do not find themselves in such a situation in a daily basis.

Because you're sniffing your own farts.
Because I have a whole library worth of janny cracks if you're going to start insulting the users. I've been holding back, because I am a well mannered boy, but if you're going to break that gentleman's agreement then I don't have a reason to hold back. I assume that because of this precedent, I can volley back and make predictions about the moderators in general?

If I was offended, you'd know it: I have a medly of mauve, a profusion of plum, a violence of violet for those who get my goat.
I'm tired of limp-wristed passive-aggressive talk from people that should know better. If you have an argument: present an argument. If not, fuck off.

No, there is one screen: Hasan's defenders telling us to not trust our lying eyes. There is some merit to the post-truth era but this one is not it. How can you claim it to be two screens if you've never seen it for yourself?

It's not just a video. When you livestream your life, it's impossible to hide what you do and who you are. Is the outrage fueled by partisans who hated him to begin with? Yes. But that doesn't diminish the fact that it happened. Lorenz is not speaking truth to power, but is a proxy defending her master in the LA streaming scene after he changed his story too often to be credible.

Everyone involved in the production of alcohol is productive: anything else is a luxury good that can be cut in times of austerity. Of course, you need a military to defend your distilleries, a road network to connect those distilleries to hops and barley farms, as well as to their final markets. Maybe a bauxite mine to get the aluminium to can it all. And then a tax collecting scheme to ensure that those militaries are paid. Oh, and I suppose all those beermakers, soldiers, farmers, and miners need wives, too. So we'll need a few women around.
With those necessary individuals, civilization can be preserved.

Japanese emperors in a certain period would abdicate to gain more power, and the current ruling Emperor would be just a puppet.

I'm not going to say it doesn't work, but robbing your movement of authenticity by commanding it from the top-down is a tactical play for long-term strategic disadvantage. Most reactionaries have accepted that gay marriage is beyond the reach of even the most right-wing of policy while trans is an issue they can hammer forever.

Do you actually have an argument, though, or is it a boneless 'return to the noble losers that you used to be' kind of rhetoric?

It always amused me how comically small the bribes American politicians took in exchange for compromising their integrity, but perhaps that reflected that it was a buyer's market. Paying tens of thousands to influence the spending of billions has a ROI that no legitimate investment could ever match.

I will buy panties from you - if you wear them in a manner that is confirmable by a third party, for a long enough period of time for them to be noticably soiled - at a price that the market will bear.

You're evading the question.
The value of eighteen year old nubiles underwear is trivially answered with Subjective Theory of Value, because there are a lot more men who want to buy panties over anyone else wanting to buy a man's boxers. Trying to reduce it to labor is not only nonsensical, in this case: it's meaningless.
And you can do this for pretty much anything you can imagine. Why is a Stradavarius more valuable than any other violin? Why is a signed First Edition book worth more than a reprint? You can't dodge into 'socially necessary labor' - because who defines that? Who measures it?
In every material sense, these goods are no different from other commodities of a similar nature, identical in function and content. But one is worth much more than the other. Where does this value come from?
To admit that there is a subjective value to commodities is to dismantle the entire Marxist argument. Why should a blind person's art be worth less than a Da Vinci? What is the natural talent of a eighteen year old girl to wear underwear? Your examples crumble under the least scrutiny.
It is human beings who decide what the value of things are. And if you still argue against this, what's the value of a bitcoin on a desert island? A bar of gold? Where does the labor come?

Our old friend Impassionata is far more likely a suspect: crossposted over there. https://rdrama.net/post/403216/themotte-catches-darwin2500-in-the-act
To be honest, I enjoy a dishonest shit-stirrer, if only as a vaccination against bad arguments. It solidifies my political convictions, if anything.
None of your excerpts of scandalous things he said has degraded my opinion of him: he seems to be a cool bloke. Imagine on all the discoveries we missed out on because cool blokes like him were filtered out of the researcher track by useless know-nothing neo-Lysenkoists who valued political conformity over intelligence and curiosity.
