I linked to the timestamp, it’s a long ass video. The front part of the video is great, total normal TC content. Post video though, he gets into his personal politics somewhat, and here I’m thinking “oh, secret Marxist reveal?”, but then he gets into partisan politics and it’s a full-blown crash out about defiling the constitution and how Dems are always trying to make things better, but republicans show up to undo it all. He reads from the declaration of independence, waxes on about the constitution, the whole nine-yards.
It’s really great. Lots of respect. He puts it all out there. If he’s interested, I think Cowbee has a reading list he might be interested in.
It’s for the same unthinking reasons that people defend capitalism and imperial units. Defense of the status quo for no reason other than that it’s the status quo, some thoughtless cliche about it “working on paper” but the transition being too hard, American exceptionalism…so on. They have quite a bit to do with each other, actually. They shouldn’t, but liberals make it so.
Metric is a Fr*nch colonial project and the fact that so-called internationaliSSts line up to defend supplanting indigenous units of measurement with it shows their cultural chauvinism.
this post is a bit
i cannot put into words how much i long for the days when you could ask how far it is to somewhere, and the answer could come in any one of 9 different miles, some of them 4 times the size of some of the others.
same for every unit. europe pre-metric was like if every US state had a different sized mile and pound and gallon.
fuck of ! ! !
Suspiciously French…
