• What Is Liberalism? (Whatever It Is, It Seems In Decline)

  24-02-2020 22:29 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Recent debates have tended to confuse rather than clarify matters. Inleft-of-center discourse, “liberalism” and “leftism” are often invokedas respective shorthand for neoliberalism and social democracy. Neitherof these positions sits outside the boundaries of liberalism, broadlyconstrued, and most of the positions currently marked as leftist havebeen supported in other times and places by those we’d describe asliberals. Still, even if this confrontation doesn’

• The Streaming Wars Are Bringing On A New Media Dystopia

  24-02-2020 21:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  The return to piracy is both a bit of a meme and a bit of a reality. And its returnis absolutely the result of a market that giant companies have built tointentionally trap customers into either a single-company ecosystem(one ISP, one easy streaming service) or an annoying, expensivepatchwork. And while piracy signals discontent with the system, it’squite unlikely that these companies will react by changing theirapproach, let alone lowering prices. – Slate
