I really hope SaidIt doesn't get overwhelmed with this kind of content.

Plenty of other online spaces already devoted to this.

I would love to find interesting, well-articulated bad ideas and argue against them.

I'll have more time to do this if I block out the noise.

That's another reason that I should have listed: there has been huge DNC reform since 2016, entirely new staff, reform of the superdelegates system. 2020 won't be like 2016

Some are, some aren't.

Immigration makes unskilled wages lower and skilled wages higher: https://www.nber.org/papers/w12497

Overall, it probably makes the economy grow: https://www.nap.edu/catalog/23550/the-economic-and-fiscal-consequences-of-immigration

FASCISM is a LEFT-WING ideology by useless_aether in politics

left/right is a useless mental model.

It's worse than useless; it's actively misleading.

How can anyone think that a one-dimensional line is the best metaphor for understanding different ideologies with different policies, identities, mythologies, priorities, economics, and more?

You're skeptical about conventional wisdom, but attracted to unorthodox ideas. An unfailing mark of homo neophilus. The human race is not divided into the irrational and the rational, as some idealists think. All humans are irrational, but there are two different kinds of irrationally— those who love old ideas and hate and fear new ones, and those who despise old ideas and joyfully embrace new ones. Homo neophobus and homo neophilus. Neophobus is the original human stock, the stock that hardly changed at all for the first four million years of human history. Neophilus is the creative mutation that has been popping up at regular intervals during the past million years, giving the race little forward pushes, the kind you give a wheel to make it spin faster and faster. Neophilus makes a lot of mistakes, but he or she moves. They live life the way it should be lived, ninety-nine percent mistakes and one percent viable mutations. Everyone in my organization is neophilus, George. That's why we're so far ahead of the rest of the human race. Concentrated neophilus influences, without any neophobe dilution. We make a million mistakes, but we move so fast that none of them catch up with us. Before you get any deeper, George, I'd like you to become one of us.
