They’re running

PETER BRIAN HEGSETH GIVE ME BACK MY JSOC COMMANDERS

1. It’s literally on the National Mall 2. It takes no context context to understand 3. The President cannot stop tweeting about it Perhaps most important: it’s fun for liberals to harp on. There’s Schadenfreude in seeing Trump lose to an inanimate object.

Penzeys has amazing, high quality spices, and may be the most intensely Trump-hating private company in the USA. Like, they have a whole Republicans Are Immoral page prominently displayed on their website: www.penzeys.com/shop/about-r...

What we are, or should be, is non-partisan. The idea that we can escape politics via some Huntingtonian separation is ludicrous -- especially for a military that makes a show about reading Clausewitz. An apolitical military is like a non-mathematical physicist.

This is one of the areas where "we are an apolitical military" works as a thought-stopping technique.

The belief that art requires a life of struggle is also bad

Count Dooku being venerated post hoc as the sort of Sun Yat-sen of the New Republic is an extremely funny ongoing bit, and Disney's refusal to embrace this is further evidence of their creative poverty and cowardice

The people yearn for backyard smelters

Through university press sales I am set free

CENTCOM, fresh off killing INDOPACOM:

Fear not. The U.S. Army has begun implementing a COIN strategy to combat the unchecked growth of algae. We need to separate the radical algae from the broader population of water through targeted raids on algae blooms and civil construction projects to build up the reflecting pool’s capacity.

This is true to a certain extent, but moderation (or at least lack of radicalism) clearly has electoral consequences. If Bill Clinton had run in favor of gay marriage, or Obama in support of reparations, it’s pretty clear those stances would have harmed their odds.

Really can't be emphasised enough how wealth and status are distinct things.

this leaves liberals to the left of the American public (like me) in an awkward position where i have to defend "socialists" against dumb accusations while simultaneously keeping a close eye on them to make sure they don't get any funny ideas

This also explains why so much of modern politics is larp—it’s trading in nostalgia and Romanticization of History

You vill enjoy ze iterative improvements

I think this is true in that the emphasis on identity as a consumer has weakened senses of civic responsibility. Likewise, the emphasis on the public as consumers has had many positives, but it has also meant other forms of identity have not been as actively shaped, leaving a void to be filled.

Apology for bad English Where were u wen Rod Dreher's emotional support regime collapsed i was at house eating dorito when phone ring "pride flags on budapest bridge" no

Even if any of this were true (which it’s not), the only thing to say is: too bad! You can try to organize a society on feudal lines if you want, but the only thing you’d accomplish is getting conquered by a neighboring industrial society. A system that cannot defend itself is a bad one.

i hope people keep saying pro-cancer, anti-ai things in prestige publications. i know they think it and i want as many receipts as i can get

Tariffs are collective punishment and therefore must be abolished

Soon™

When people make this stupid claim that “the left has abandoned patriotism” they’re talking about Hasan Piker and like 8 other online commentators. You do not have to treat streamers like real people.

Kamala, apparently

Average liberal at this point:

I mostly agree with this, but I don’t fully agree that: “These women are expressing a feeling, and that feeling is heterosexuality is a prison.” This is definitely true at times, but there are social incentives to affect radicalism or to be “too cool” to desire.

To be clear, America can seize the strait of Hormuz—what it can’t do is seize it without putting troops in Iran to actually do the seizing.

There is no world where any country says “oh, well we’ll probably surrender after X number of casualties”

Mein fuhrer.....steiner.......steiner es gelang nicht genügend Poolfolie zu mobilisieren

This. You need people that can rebuild institutions.

Everyone “fights to the last [nationality]” dipshit, it came free with your fucking conventional deterrence

The Army is the lynchpin of the reflecting pool

"Why the fuck is the Reflecting Pool on the other side of this bridge and my Marines aren't rolling across it? You've got 7000 Marine riflemen who've been ready for the past 24 hours and your standing there with your foot on your dick...no check that, not your dick, my dick."

“PEROXIDE, BRING THE FUCKING PEROXIDE!!!”

HEGSETH! BURGUM! WHERE IS MY LO-CHLOR? YOU PROMISED US SWIMTRINE AND ALL WE HAVE BOTTLES OF PEROXIDE FROM FUCKING RITE AID! AND IT'S ONLY 70 FUCKING PERCENT!

Holy shit. This guy had a Pennsylvania drivers license. They’re coming from out of state to sabotage the reflecting pool. Check this shit out. His reason for travel? Antifa. It just says Antifa. This is what Kash Patel was talking about. This is why we’re here.
