- Reposted by Miguel Yasuyuki Hirota倫理、正義、正当性が嘲笑される傾向が強まっている。今のアメリカ合衆国では「普遍的な正義などない」と考えるニヒリズムが政権の立場(!)になってしまった。 バンス米副大統領によれば、ヘイトスピーチと偽情報の放任は言論の自由と民主主義を守ることになる(!)。米国の極右は「言論の自由」「民主主義」ということばを都合よく上書きした。 実際には、民主主義も市場も、法のもとの正義がなければ成立しない。正義——倫理的、法的な正当性は多数決では決められない。 議論を尽くす仕組みを構築し、議論で結論が出ない問題を仕方なく多数決で決めることが、本来の民主主義のはずである。この原則が無視され嘲笑されている。

- Expansionism emerges as an agony of capitalism when your economy can't grow well enough to satisfy investors' expectations. And our largest problem is that no country is "growing enough."
- I don't know how many people are enticed to go to Gaza for vacations should it be turned into a beach resort. Perhaps constructors can refurbish the whole strip, but they can't erase the local history from our minds.

- Reposted by Miguel Yasuyuki Hirota雑感: ざっくりいうと、新自由主義を称揚し「大学へ行け、努力しろ」とハッパをかけた民主党政権のメッセージは、結果的に富と尊厳の不平等を生み、多数派を侮辱するものと受け止められた。そしてトランプ政権が誕生する。 サンデルは能力主義を批判し、成功した人々に、成功しなかった人々を思い考えることを求めてきた。自助努力を強調するなら、努力した人々の多数派が報われる社会、成功しなかった人も尊厳を失わずにすむ社会を目指す必要があった。 思うことだけど、富の再配分や福祉国家のアイデアを忌避してきたアメリカ流の「反共しぐさ」が問題の根元にあるのではないか。
