Because they don't distinguish between value-add and metric chasing. This makes them reliable metric pumping engines, especially if they come from a culture with normalized double-speak, e.g. "Achieve great success while adhering to the highest levels of ethics and accountability" -> "Cut every corner possible to juice the KPI as long as you don't get caught".

This was the fracture that started with Bernie v Hillary in 2016. The progressives and socialists have all the energy, but the party is arranged so that the Inner Party controls the mechanisms, and has functional veto power over the commons. The progs and socs might not have the power to win, but they can absolutely cause a mess if they're feeling betrayed or uppity enough to cause a Democrat Party civil war.

No, that already happened. China has something in the ballpark of a million of it's people who have American citizenship via birthright tourism - and the trend appears to be accelerating.
That seems pretty damn salient.

The amazing thing is how the extremists really do sound like the conservative caricature of the lefties. "Surely they can't be like that in reality/Whoops..." The lead-in to the "but we hate you!" screaming by the maker of the video was 'in your wildest dreams' stuff:
AIUI, there is talk of a problem among the Republican campaign staffers that it's hard to do attack ads because people think literal descriptions of Democrat rhetoric and policies are insane exaggerations. E.g. the "Yes, fuck you, we literally mean no more police at all" candidate for the House.

In the same way they love body- and homo-shaming when it can target the outgroup. "The Epstein Class" feels like a good soldier to send to war - same reason it gets spammed by twitter posters from third world countries with mass, normalized child rape.
Most of those same leftists will turn around and say it's a human right for 15 year olds to have access to books that tell them how to get on Grindr, even though that sort of thing is almost exactly what Epstein actually did.

He definitely hasn't "come out in favour of tactical lying" in the sense of saying that elected Democrats should be saying more things that are not true.
He tweeted literally that back in the day. Can't find an easily linkable version now, but something like "Yes, advocates should fight dishonesty with dishonesty. That's an honest view." I mostly remember because people have been throwing it in his face for a decade.
I'm sure he deeply regrets saying it now, whatever his feelings on the topic.

Found the problem.
The second problem is that this is boring middle-class conflict, but one where it is socially acceptable for the Boomer to crash out, as opposed to being knifed and mugged by a naked, masturbating fent zombie, which they are culturally obligated to pretend is vibrant and exciting.

Eh, I can believe Matty is still trying to do the Obama technocratic progressivism thing, like a Japanese solider holding out on a remote island decades after the War, but the problem with openly coming out in favor of tactical lying is that people tend to hold it against you forever.

Purportedly, this was how they swung things in LA. Paying homeless people $5 to vote for the other socialist after the formal date, and then kept going until they had just enough to keep Pratt out of the runoff. There are videos of interviews with supposed homeless people. Believe, dive down a research rabbit hole, or press X to doubt as you choose.

Would you feel the same way about the rights granted by 2A as by 14A?
Even I'm amenable to the idea that there are categories of weapons that ought not be available to random assholes. McNukes are a fun joke, but not something taken seriously by people outside the range of Sovereign Citizens.
Similarly, I don't think the founders, or the ratifiers of the 14th Amendment, envisioned a world where a peer rival could trivially fly millions of pregnant women out to a tourist resort to give birth, and thereby build up a massive voting block of birthright citizens with entirely foreign loyalty.

Also in the news, Scott Wiener gets harassed out of a trans pride parade.
I can't find the full version of the video, but there's a bit where someone says something like "You've done a lot for the gay community, but...", where the lot is stuff like protecting 24 year olds who have sex with 14 year olds.
THAT GUY isn't far left enough anymore.
Musk is a goofy autist, but he's probably well-positioned to skim the cream of the crop. This is something I feel like I should just never shut up about. There's a huge disconnect between people whose experience with immigrants is massively filtered exceptions, compared to the normies. It really makes you appreciate how much a shared cultures does to smooth the friction when dealing with someone 20+ IQ points below you, much less the horror of 50+.
If he spent a week trying to help Haitians, Somalians and Guatemalans set up Starlink, he'd probably turn into Enoch Powell.
