Twitter was David’s public platform and tools for practicing a new language – clear and understandable for everyone, it was a space where he made friends and enemies.

@scottfitzpatr13 @girlziplocked The point Holly was trying to make was that it’s not a material resource like iron or petroleum, and they want us to think it is, that there’s an objective limit on its quantity, etc. Perhaps you know a better but equally catchy way to convey this?

Fri 19 Jun 2020 13:54

@scottfitzpatr13 @girlziplocked It is important to understand both the degree to which it is real and to which it is not. Some of this apparent near-universality arises from insanely broad definitions

Fri 19 Jun 2020 13:14

@scottfitzpatr13 @girlziplocked yes I chose things that every adult will agree aren’t real. If I’d chose the idea that humans are divided into “races” or the inherent selfishness of human nature, etc, it would have meant endless argument

@Pinkers79 @str_apx @Curious_Chak @mdbuckley In 2017, Corbyn did better than any other Labour leader since early Blair. Brexit was a unique distraction. The idea that some guy who look and acts like a corporate lawyer is going to do better because the media like fellow professionals is kind of insane

@Pinkers79 @Curious_Chak @mdbuckley all analyses of elections won by Blair, Clinton, etc, indicate the left party would have won those elections anyway, whoever was in charge. So those leaders compromised principles for nothing. Are there any exceptions?

@Pinkers79 @Curious_Chak @mdbuckley has any candidate of a left party actually succeeded in this project of winning power by luring former right wing voters away by compromising left principles and then claiming they’ll run the system more competently and somewhat less viciously?

@realitymerchant @MattCrossin @aPebbleInTheSky @korach2001 I usually say “anarchistic” or such to avoid ambiguity; some object even to that but to me this seems odd, since the same critique could be used for any word you use, “egalitarian”, “stateless”, etc. are all “Western” concepts

Fri 19 Jun 2020 02:01

@realitymerchant @MattCrossin @aPebbleInTheSky @korach2001 there’s an ambiguity because it’s both a descriptive word, and has been adopted by some as an explicit ideology. Like saying a group are democratically organised, versus saying they’re Democrats in the US party sense.
