This is fascinating to me, because beyond the surface level it illuminates why conservatives are often so full of shit. The baseline here is that there's a heatwave, and Mamdani asked New Yorkers to adjust their thermostats to help the grid. This is regular practice in red and blue areas of the country. Daniel posts a defiant "I'm not gonna do what mommy tells me!" style post. He surely thinks he's a very clever boy here. Now if the message is "This is a free country, and I love my AC, and by god it's my house and no government bureaucrat can force me to change", then fine. Sure. But there is no law being proposed here. No police are bursting down your door demanding to check your thermostat. It's a request from a community leader, a polite ask that you engage in a very small pro-social sacrifice. You would think conservatives would understand the idea that local communities should pull together in times of need. For the 'common good', perhaps. You'd think. And that they'd be happy if no government force was involved, if they could act merely because they had strong moral character and believed in private charitable action. "Nobody should ever ask anyone to sacrifice for the common good, even if it's just a polite request" is just dipshit nihilism. But I suspect Daniel doesn't actually believe in those conservative ideas. Or if he does, they're a distant second to the true guiding star of conservative thought: owning the libs. Given the chance to help people or own the libs, conservatives will always own the libs. Given the chance to demonstrate strong principles or own the libs, they'll always abandon the principle to own the libs. The actual philosophy of the right is merely "We hate the left". And it's sad.
This one is for you @ZohranKMamdani
@AbelianSurface9 @Noahpinion I guess we have different understanding of 80s 90s liberalism
@AbelianSurface9 @Noahpinion I think he's talking about that practical incremental "Rock the Vote" style of liberalism that was shaped by the 80s & 90s. You could argue that led us to Obergefell.

I've seen a large number of people engage with this guy's posts over the past couple weeks with full precision of their critique and I can't say I've seen him respond in any way that isn't an unnecessarily verbose mischaracterization insisting *he* is the mischaracterized one.
@xwanyex Well into my 20s, if someone contradicted me, I could immediately see that actually, they didn't understand what I really meant. Eventually I realized I was inventing nuances to protect myself from being wrong. You are so good at this I fear you may never realize you're doing it.

@trozlizleozinho @danishacarterr Kicking the can down the road is all of human progress.
@sandmansanch711 @StreetsblogNYC Bad road design. Extreme example, but imagine an intersection without a stop sign.
@JustinMcAleer @StreetsblogNYC I think they're taking about road design, which plays an important part. Daylighting, speed limits, stop signs have a profound effect on safety.
