This is a predictable trajectory for people who lack any real convictions but hate liberalism

Personally, I think what really threatens American Jews is insisting our safety is dependent on denying what the whole world sees, that the Israeli gov committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians. Force people to think protecting Jews means denying reality, and they will stop caring about us.

Cosmopolitanism is a foundational democratic value. All anti-cosmopolitan ideologies are just different flavors of volkism.

>we’ve reached the worrying about prison phase of the Trump Presidency

As a reminder, the most dangerous period in the tenure of any dictator or would-be dictator is often the stretch of time when their regime is imploding but hasn't been removed from power yet.

I expect the persecution of random, mostly nonwhite and immigrant Trump critics to pick up as Trump continues to lose his grip both on his own emotional self-regulation and on his ability to do anything with the presidency except deploy violence.

i do unironically think people that are cosmopolitan need sorta paradoxically be more chauvinist about it tbh. places and people that are cosmopolitan in outlook are better than places that are provincially minded. the kind of performative handwringing about not being 'authentic' is bad and weak.

Congratulations!!
