  • I also disagreed, but I can’t coherently argue why, which is obviously a sign to reflect on my opinions.

    One thing that stood out to me was the broad, encompassing usage of “left”. The author lumps together the theatrical leftism like this photo with political leftism like codified worker protections.

    I did think he made an excellent point that “down with oligarchs!” isn’t going to resonate with a lot of working class people.

    edit: I also think the author failed to acknowledge that conservative think tanks and media savvy have certainly influenced opinions and even the LANGUAGE used to discuss topics among all classes, so to imply that the working class hasn’t changed at all isn’t fair.

    •18.0-18.2 grams of coffee •machine set to 9 bar and about 202°F •distrubuter and very light tamp (modern machines like this one tend to pull better with a five pound tamp rather than 30 or 50 pounds) •no WDT or spray because my grinder is good •2-3 second preinfusion •19-23 second brew time (shorter when the beans are only a few days off roast, longer on days 5-7 or when it’s raining or very humid) •immediately pour into another (preheated) cup to mix the shot •drink it before it has a chance to cool
