“It’s too ridiculous to take seriously and too serious to be ridiculous.”
“It turns out cheating is a pretty good strategy to win, as there are very few consequences. The Electoral Commission later conceded that even if the vote was won with the benefit of illegal data or illegal financing, the result still stands.”

“far too many American socialists get most of their understanding of radical politics not from any sort of analysis of what’s going on around them in the here and now but from reading the works of long-dead revolutionaries.”

“One thing that all of the flaws of the contemporary left I discuss in this book have in common is that they’re symptoms of what I’ve come to think of as the pathologies of powerlessness.”

“I used to believe that the systems we have broadly work. I used to think that there was someone waiting with a plan who could solve a problem like Cambridge Analytica. I was wrong. Our system is broken, our laws don’t work, our regulators are weak, our governments don’t understand what’s happening, and our technology is usurping our democracy.”

“Most leftists are officially committed to the position that even imprisoned rapists and murderers should be treated more compassionately. Even those of us who don’t go around calling ourselves “prison abolitionists” think that people who’ve committed these crimes should be serving shorter terms in more humane prisons with a greater focus on rehabilitation. Yet somehow far too many of us are comfortable with the idea that enthusiastically cruel social shaming should be the standard punishment for Bad Takes and problematic jokes.”
