even for a liberal, john rawls is a fucking moron. there's a significant difference between subscribing to a prescribed state ideology and trying to make a coherent philosophical justification for it, and oh my god he has to be the biggest sucker on the god damn planet

rawls was brilliant in that he came up with terms to describe what liberals were really arguing most of the time, so that people could have clearer arguments about those underlying principles. he also rejected welfare state capitalism and his proposed alternative is sort of a radical petty-bourgeois system where everyone owns property or their own workplace or whatever. you're right though that this is basically a failed attempt and in retrospect he was just used to deflect attention from insurgent liberation struggles. i guess the thing is though that a lot of people realized that, even a lot of his students, who are mostly forgotten now because they spelled things with a k instead of c.

yeah i acknowledge that i don't really evaluate philosophical arguments and discourse by a "fair" metric anymore, and i've lost the ability to assess a system of thought on its own merits, a product of alienation from my home discipline. back in my youth i skirted around this by considering philosophy a field of abstract arts and assessing thought systems by some strangled metric of internal consistency yielding beauty lol.

rawls is intelligent in an abstracted academy sense, just totally fucking wrong and harmful in practice, like everything else that comes out of an institution deliberately constructed to support the status quo

The Wire’s failure to adequately represent Baltimore’s Jews and other religious and ethnic groups is in fact a powerful statement that representations of urban multicultural diversity are an irrelevance if parts of the city have become so degraded. Through their disconnection from West Baltimore, Jews on The Wire become either sinister stereotypes or a barely differentiated part of an entirely ‘other’ world that is homogeneous in its ignorance of the wound lying in the heart of the city.

Learning early on that women only desire the top 20 percent of men for their height and facial aesthetics helps avoid years of pain and loneliness caused by unrealistic expectations of finding a mate under sexual liberalism/gynocracy.

Rawls is a useful retard in that he provides an obvious reductio ad absurdum without liberalism's opponents having to lift a finger

The Red Pillers of Islam (arkān al-Islām أركان الإسلام; also arkān al-dīn أركان الدين "pillers of the religion") are five basic acts in Islam, considered mandatory by believers and are the foundation of Muslim life. They are summarized in the famous hadith of Gabriel.

how does someone like that become a pitchfork darling while they ignore actual music being made by people?

because her last album, visions, was a smash hit. pitchfork is shitty and dumb and often grade albums based on how much indie good will the artist currently has built up, hence why the biggest name currently out there, beach house, gets over an 8 automatically even when they release two albums in eight weeks, while currents by tame impala, or reflektor by arcade fire, get massively inflated scores as well. by the times those groups have their next releases and the hype has burned off a bit, expect much lower scores. similarly, if this grimes album doesnt do super well, her album after this wont score well. but this album probably will by default, based on visions, the rhizzone album of the year 2012. theyll go back retroactively and fix the scores based on how history has judged the releases when the reissues come out
