Securites markets are actually a great example of the Dunning-Kruger effect because everyone involved in them is convinced not only that they are especially smart, but that the market itself is a purely rational actor separate from the humans who engage in commerce

It takes so much valor to sit on a boat and press buttons to double-tap a school

Never forget that Trump's mass detainment of immigrants with legal status was kicked off by Mahmoud Khalil's arrest. They were testing the waters on someone who had been demonized nonstop, and when they got away with it, they went all in. Mainstream Jewish orgs helped get us here.

It’s actually ruling-class propaganda to make us think that the problem is a small group of people and not the bourgeoisie

I need to see Talarico demolish Redeemed Zoomer

This is a Cato guy?? Amazing how times change

Mahmoud Khalil is one of the most optimistic, pro-humanity people I know, and the ADL hates him because he highlights the fact that they are fundamentally evil and soulless

There's also no reason we have to devolve into legalistic, content-neutral arguments about the norms surrounding speech. Inciting racial hatred (and that's what this is; Islam is heavily racialized even if Muslims can be any race) should be unacceptable because it's corrosive to society, period.

This guy said he was going to divest from Israel bonds once and a concerning number of people didn’t investigate further before boosting him

IMPORTANT & BREAKING: Iran's IRGC says any Arab or European country that expels the ambassadors of Israel and the United States from its territory will, starting tomorrow, have full authority and freedom to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

having a snack rn (a Red Oak)

His name is What

Eastern European Jews are the Jews of Jews

is that supposed to happen

Some people need to apologize to me for saying that Tucker’s only problem with Zionism is who they are violent towards

"Most" meaning the 80% who are Jewish

the thing about platner is that he is still preferable to a septugenarian zionist who will vote to support israel doing nazi shit

This is literally the West's strategy with Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan

You do not have to platform a guy who spent the majority of his career trying to gut American science in the name of the deficit

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

amazing how much liberals' issues with fascism boil down to "the evil is not being appropriately managed"

It's funny how anti-imperialists would probably be better at maintaining the American empire because we aren't deluded by american exceptionalism

No one is forcing them to cooperate with Israel, they do it because they have the same enemies (Iran and their own people)

I wrote a whole paper about this in 2020; one of the dangers of using algorithms in roles like this is that they create situations where no human can be accountable.

If we are being honest: Claude didn't do any of those things. People USING Claude as an excuse for greed extraction are. • Claude didn't choose to work for the military. • Claude didn't build data centers. • Claude didn't defund mental health. • Claude didn't refuse security protocols. Humans did.

SCOOP: Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.

The Israel number is not actually that surprising. Jewish society in Israel is pretty high-trust due to everyone being a fascist and knowing that the people around them would not hessitate to kill a toddler for them

Strangely enough, the new Supreme Leader of Iran is named Markwayne Khamenei

It would seem the common denominator is Trump

having a secretary of a bullshit american agency named markwayne actually feels exactly right

This is the fucking American-chauvinistic mentality driving me up a wall. The US is an empire whose interest is in being able to destroy any country for any reason. We are at war because it is in the perceived interest of the empire, which is ultimately also why Israel wants war.

His wife is Jewish, and her brother is besties with the president of Israel

Not a 50-year war *with* Iran, a 50-year war *on* Iran. From selling Saddam chemical weapons to use in them, to shooting down their airliners, to industrial sabotage and sanctions, the US has 100% been waging war on Iran since 1979.

The liberal Zionist case for Israel is basically “a Jewish state is necessary, it has to be in Palestine because it’s the Jewish homeland, yes Palestinians were unfairly expelled but they need to get over it because we need a state”

It’s apologetics for America instead

are there any normal Orthodox Jews left or are they all like this now

I think this this the first time an F-15 has ever been shot down by another aircraft

As consultants, these guys desperately need candidate quality to matter as much as possible, so they’re going to talk about WAR in an election that is heavily driven by anti-Republican backlash

They should include on the ballots that he's Israeli

and this was after replacing Ayatollah Khomeini

The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today

I think they’re flailing and trying to find anything that will stick. It’s possible that Bibi convinced Trump to actually launch the attack because he’s a moron, but we’ve been looking for an excuse to go to war with Iran for years. Mattis was salivating about it in 2018.

When people say that the US left reads too much theory, what they mean is that they don’t want to read theory because it will make them have to change their ideas

The whole point of sanctions is to make the population see giving in as less suicidal than not doing it. If the Israeli public considers even negotiating with Palestinians in good faith to be suicidal, sanctions need to be harsh enough for them to consider that the better option.

Richard Spencer arc incoming

Which is probably not true given that this is their second or third excuse, but the fact that they're making it is remarkable nonetheless

The Department of Major Combat Operations

the next phase of the US-Israel relationship is going to be a scramble to figure out how to maintain hegemony in a post-israel world while simiultaneously trying to convince everyone israel was the sole problem

So now any candidate to take over with a modicum of legitimacy is on notice that they could be killed at any time for no reason

did the US just build its own Shahed
