Where are the advocacy groups to write *only* steelmen rather than being
either corporate/industry lackeys and/or hyper-aggressive activists
reframing everything as a tragedy? My sympathies are with the "little
guy", the individuals and groups with no voice or power of their own,
but too often those who speak up for them get a little shrill and inject
yet other agendas than the ones I believe actually represent the real
positions and issues of those they claim to represent. It seems to be
a structural failing in the very idea of representative
government/advocacy? I'm sure I may be being overly critical/cynical
here but it feels very difficult for me to sort out what is *really*
going on when a widespread or structural bias or harm is identified...
it isn't *just* noise/signal ratios, it is multiple competing
caricatured? models.
I heard a brief clip of an interview with AOC who said she was
considering leaving Government and putting her energy/perspective into
Direct Action or at least Activism...

we could ask BP or Exxon to tell us how environmentally responsible
they are. But why waste my time digesting corporate propaganda? If
they invite some neutral parties to keep an eye on their practices,
that might be worth paying attention to.
