Shorter Poor Posts
I told a student's mom her son had to join a tough punctuation class focusing on semicolons for weeks. He'd come out a grammar pro. She said, "Hi Israel! I love semicolons!!"
Don't let yourself fall behind, Longer Poor Posts! You can't let the fools who value shortness, accessibility, and exotericity win.

The parts of the Humanities that comprise philosophy, historiography, and political science should be treated with the same exclusivity of participation as nuclear physics or brain surgery, if not more. I can count the amount of people I've met that can do it without fumbling into paroxismal contradiction on one hand. Especially this late in the game, when we have more hindsight than anyone ever has, it takes very refined skill to be able to understand the state of things and their origins. Theres simply too much information to demand anything less than the highest analytical ability.
Imagine a set of cards, each with a number on one side and a letter on the other. Suppose that four of these cards are laid out on a table in front of you, like [above].
Now consider the following rule:
If there is a vowel on one side, there is an even number on the other.
Which cards are relevant to this rule's truth or falsity? Or in plainer terms, flipping as few cards as possible, which cards would you have to turn over to see if the rule was true of these four cards?

What ruralites don't understand is that they don't get to experience things like the Milwaukee rainbow crosswalks at N. Jefferson & E. Wells streets in their own backyards. Truly sad for them. Move to the cities.
Nationalism is now a hallmark of right-wing ideology. However, in the 19th century, nationalism was a revolutionary left-wing force, driving movements like the Italian Risorgimento, the American Revolution, and, perhaps most strikingly, the French Revolution. The nationalists sought to dismantle monarchies and empires, empowering "the people"—a quintessentially progressive aim. Similarly, libertarianism finds roots in left-wing thinkers like John Stuart Mill or even early anarchists like Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, who opposed centralized authority in favor of individual autonomy. Over time, these ideas, once radical and emancipatory, were adopted by the right as defenses of tradition. Thus, the left’s innovations have ossified into conservative principles; you, the nationalist, the libertarian, the rightoid, have been fooled into defending your enemy's ideas, fooled into championing the entropic ideas of your enemies as if they were your own, fooled into championing the ideas that destroyed (past tense) the civilization you champion; you, the rightoid, stand atop your civilization's corpse singing praises of its destructors.
