I’m pretty right wing but I find a little of Marx’s writings interesting. For example, I think he is right on the alienation of labor. Doesn’t mean his solution makes sense.

It’s amazing how many popular songs were actually written by Dylan. Dude has no competition.

I actually think Sailer would include white people (women specifically) that have a large out group favorable bias as consistent with dem racial spoils

Nah — the point is zoning is top down with one body deciding everything. Restrictive deeds would be more de centralized so you end up with a lot more actual diversity in land use while maintaining the ability to minimize conflicts.

I know the most hardcore anti-transers will say the only thing that matters is your birth sex.
Are you sure that is the position of the most hardcore? Might be the plurality position.

Zoning law is kind of a shitty version of common law nuisance. You won’t find defending zoning qua zoning. But it is an out growth of common law nuisance and is getting at something inherently different than rent control (ie what do you when rights are incompatible). Thus comparing the two is a category error.
FWIW, I would get rid of zoning and permit restrictive deeds including racial.

Depends on what you mean by property rights. You bring up nuisance but that really involves a situation of conflicting property rights. A wants to use its property for X which conflicts with how B wants to use its property. How do you solve that? Well the law of nuisance. Or if you like law and Econ read The Problem of Social Costs by Coase.
That is fundamentally a different kind of regulation compared to rent control. In the first, there is a conflict in property rights. In the second, there is no conflict.

The court in Penn Central basically asked about investment backed expectations. The basic idea is if you bought property knowing the regulation is likely presumably the purchase price reflected that ambiguity so providing compensation is giving a windfall to the regulated entity.
Now whether this is reasonable is a different matter but that’s the theory.

That’s not entirely true. There can be regulatory takings where your use of the property is wholly frustrated. See Lucas v South Carolina Coastal Commission

You said: Sailer plays to his audience, which is very much inclined to frame everything as racialist spoils systems. He’s going to ascribe that to the Democrats no matter what they say.
The last sentence implies that the democrats don’t do racial spoils systems.
But they do. What do you think supporting affirmative action is? Or saying you will pick a certain color for scotus or VP? Why defend minority majority districts? There use euphemisms but at its core it is racial spoils

Write in campaign is hard. You need low knowledge voters to put you over the top and a write in campaign requires the opposite of low knowledge voters

I just don’t buy the argument that “it is something that can totally happen” yet no one knows anyone else that got a Nazi tattoo.

Really? You think Nazi tattoos are relatable? I don’t know anyone who has a Nazi tattoo.

I think Trump would have the same reaction if it was darts. It isn’t soccer itself but America winning.

I don’t think the left views cops as bastards because police mistreat the left. Instead, it is hatred of hierarchies. Thus, ACAB because cops are part of the hierarchy.
In contrast, the right can view cops as an instrument.

To me, it reads as emotionally stable. You want a good life for your daughter and part of that is her marrying a good man. In return, you get grandkids.

Neither did I. I responded to the post with a claim (supported by evidence) that was germane to the post.
I think you just run into network effects. It is hard to take on the incumbent because of network effects even if your replacement is better.
