Unos defienden el libre mercado, otros se oponen a él. Algunos critican al Estado, otros lo exaltan.
Pero todos comparten el impulso de defender y mantener el poder y el privilegio ante la amenaza de los movimientos que exigen libertad e igualdad.

La mente reaccionaria, de @CoreyRobin.

I also want to join @nberlat.bsky.social in (what I take to be) his subtweet of Corey Robin, who's take on the "fascism debate" I take to be deeply unconvincing and ahistorical. For example, tell me you know nothing about the GOP ca. 1968 without telling me you know nothing about the GOP ca. 1968.
corey robin @CoreyRobin •1d If the debate has gotten to the point that this is what we're now calling fascism or the threat to democracy, then I don't see how any serious person could say it's anything other than the same old GOP we've been battling since 1968. I mean look at this agenda itemized below. corey robin @CoreyRobin •1d Sounds to me like ye olde GOP: "Don't think armband insignias, tanks in the streets, and martial law; think lawfare, sophisticated cronyism, surveillance, and counter-majoritarian restrictions on repr... • 40- C7 53 • 195 Ill 126K

Generated Alttext: The image contains two tweets from a Twitter user named "corey robin". The first tweet reads: "I don't care if you don't read the literature or don't have a PhD—the smartest people on Twitter like @NathanTankus & @MattBruenig don't have PhDs and are almost completely self-taught—but if you're going to make big claims about the literature, yeah, you have to fucking read it." It has 3 comments, 4 retweets, 81 likes and was posted 25 minutes ago from the time the screenshot was taken. The second tweet from the same user reads: "And when you add to it the self-pitying, self-dramatizing, pseudo-populist "Oh, they just don't like me because I don't have a fancy degree," is not just pathetic; it's also pretty Trumpy. Which just underscores my other point about how Stancil is the perfect emblem of the age." It has 6 comments, 4 retweets, 75 likes and was posted 24 minutes ago from the time the screenshot was taken. The tweets are presented on a white background with the user's profile picture appearing on the left side of each tweet, which is a photograph of a smiling person with short hair. The username and the handle are displayed above the tweets, and the interactions (comments, retweets, likes) are shown below each tweet. Additionally, there is a timestamp indicating how long ago the tweets were posted, and ellipses (...) suggesting more options are available. Generated Alttext: For the sake of the record: I only responded to Stancil when he claimed, in error, that all scholars of the American right thought Trump was a "curveball." I further got pissed when he said to me that *no one* in advance of Trump had shown how conservatism might lead to Trump. Will Stancil @whstancil · 1h Robin is mad because I guess I didn’t read his work carefully and disagreed with him, so he’s doing what the entire left has been doing for months: avoiding the substance and trying to body block me from the discourse by declaring me too ignorant to engage with. 11:23 AM · 12/22/23 · 14K Views 7 Reposts 2 Quotes 136 Likes 11 Bookmarks corey robin @CoreyRobin · 25m Both claims are untrue.

The Twitter interface elements such as the "Follow" button, the icons for replies, retweets (indicated as "Reposts"), likes, and bookmarks, as well as the timestamps and engagement statistics (views, reposts, quotes, likes, and bookmarks) are visible in the image.

Each tweet has a timestamp of "25m" indicating they were posted 25 minutes before the screenshot was taken. The tweets discuss the user's frustration with someone named Rick and another person, Stancil, for not reading his book, which was discussed in "The New Yorker" and is claimed to have predicted the rise of Trump. The user also touches upon the necessity of reading literature before making large claims about it, even for individuals without a PhD, and cites @NathanTankus and @MattBruenig as examples. The tweets are shown with interactive options such as reply, retweet, and like counts indicated by respective icons and numbers below each tweet. The user's profile picture is visible in each tweet, and a verification checkmark is present next to the user's name. The background of the tweets is white with black text, and Twitter's interface employs its characteristic blue color for hyperlinks and icons.

What I respect about @CoreyRobin is that, unlike so many other left academics, he accurately portrays the thoughts of the conservatives he disagrees with, and doesn't resort to strawmen. Plus, of course, his compelling analysis. Can't wait to read his book on Clarence Thomas.
