Like there was Best of 2020/21 with the worst takes ever. I'm looking for links to those plus the 2022 edition if anyone's got it.
I vaguely remember a few:
- Bernie reminds me of when my abusive dad throws the pot roast at the wall when he talks too loudly about healthcare
- political consultant white woman with dyed hair who looks like a hunger games villian and tweets like 90s era snoop dogg. I'm talking like "yo yo wiggity wack" levels of cringe
- Person who says they would genocide 1 billion dogs to save a hypothetical baby, unprompted
- Anti mask woman who posted a mask that looks like someone rubbed fucking Cheeto dust on the inside and says everyone's mask looks like that at the end of the day
- hornyposting about sex w/ Beto or something
There's tons of others but these are the ones that live rent free in my head.
Xeni and the enshittification radlib Cory Doctorow used to be (still are?) tight which says everything about the value of gen x hacktivist political analysis.
Is Cory just a lib? I thought he was some kind of left. I mostly just know about the enshittification article, which presents it as a natural feature of capitalism, which is correct.
he's an anticap radlib. enshittification is good analysis it's just insufficient and entirely compatible with liberal critiques of crony capitalism/regulatory capture/etc. the trpf alone doesn't make an analysis a material or class-based one, and I've never seen Doctorow combine it with those things.
