The thing about dedicating your life to making the world a crueller, stupider, more violent place is that you might just get what you wanted

We're coming for your post-life healthy organs and there's nothing you can do to stop us

Sorry to hear your life choices led you to cowering in a bomb shelter me and a buncha other anti occupation Jews are having a safe happy time in New York rn

do think you can see Yarvin's intellectual influence but it's mostly his Cathedral concept getting right wing crusaders into this frantic smashing up of companies, institutions, and even whole countries looking for the secret Device making people woke

If you do any kind of business with a company that acknowledged Pride this year and they send you one of those feedback forms you should fill it out and tell them the gay pandering influenced your purchasing decision

Thinking of sporadically posting 'another W for vulgar freudianism' without context and never explaining

“Those who came to power in Germany were cleverer and yet more stupid than the liberals. The progress towards the new order was supported to a large extent by those whose consciousness was not involved in progress: by bankrupt individuals, sectarian interests, and fools.

Today I found out thewizardliz is not in fact shorthand for King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard

"The covetous mobs - wherever they have appeared - have always been aware deep down that ultimately all they would get out of it themselves would be the pleasure of seeing others robbed of all they possessed"

Jane Austen could have written On Sense and Sensibilia but Aristotle couldn't have written Sense and Sensibility

If you are a parent or educator and someone is trying to assign children in your care John Boyne books you have a moral obligation to do everything in your power to stop them

in my view the main non-discourse reason antisemitism is confusing is that it describes two discrete but usually overlapping phenomenon: racism or dehumanisation towards Jewish people (Judeophobia?) and an all-encompassing conspiracy theory about Jewish power over world events

once reason the IHRA is bad is how it justifies these kinds of thoughtless polemics: X is antisemitic cus the IHRA says so, no I will not elaborate or bother to make any kind of argument

You kinda get the feeling they know it's coming to an end and are just killing as many people as possible before that happens

think it needs to be emphasized that when we say 'arrested for stickering' that's not like slang or code for anything we literally mean putting stickers in public areas

All this place really needs is a solid 24-48 hours of non functional twitter

Video of the arrest of J4PI member Sue Pentel over stickering for Palestine, which we were told constitutes 'criminal damage'

one of our J4PI members in Belfast just got arrested for stickering for Gaza 😐

“We kept getting updates," said one diplomat. "It was almost like Eurovision. We kept getting the scores in.” Well sourced account (inc role played by UK’s suspension of trade talks) of Tue’s meeting of EU FMs that led to majority voting to review association agreement www.rte.ie/news/analysi...

They're not even letting the current students finish their degrees??? Matter of hours before Irish gov moves to scoop these kids up, see ya at Trinity

One way to tell which parts of Dialectic of Enlightenment were written by Adorno are the jazz complaints

Everything that's finally starting to happen now should have happened two years ago and now so much damage is already done

Unfortunately a lot the answer to the Q of “how do you read +100 pages in a day” is just “one page at a time”

also feels significant that we've gone from mostly ignoring or merely symbolically condemning the west bank raids and settlement building to acknowledging and upping sanctions on them (from the UK-Canada-France statement)

Deteriorating conditions explain the new urgent statements but not the wider policy shifts which are clearly surfacing after being in motion for some time

I knew in October 2023 this was going to be a genocide Every action EU countries are finally taking could have happened long ago, could have prevented such an excess of needless death and suffering

driving me crazy that I cannot figure out why after a year and a half of inaction things are suddenly moving

what is the point of sinn fein

Hello from Berlin

Despite strides in gaining recognition I don't think even most people who are aware of the Roma genocide during WW2 realise how extensive it was - similar proportionally to the Jewish Shoah

When you read translations from Irish often not only can you tell the constructions came as gaeilge but that the original language really sings

In Ireland irate customers don't ask to speak to your manager they threaten to call Joe Duffy to complain about you, a lost people without him

Edward Said says its fine to be critical of writers of the past while enjoying and admiring them, thus solving discourse
