lol taking odds Tankus and Drumm cooked their brains on the same shitty DSA faction‘s literature and discourse about Jews and how there’s no more anti-semitism

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Contrarian smart guy brain and left brain share the same problem of assuming that human behavior can be modeled through some kind of economic or utilitarian rationality, so all dipshit opinions *must* be rational at some level you just have to demystify

Yeah like, listen up middle aged people who like to think they’re keyed into contemporary culture: an awful lot of new slang is nazi so just stop trying to keep up basically because otherwise you‘re going to try to complement someone but end up saying their pants look Jewish

This is one of the larger left-of-center Facebook pages, and I do feel like a few years ago, left-of-center people on social media with large audiences were not using terms like “goyslop”?

This is how it works repeatedly with Trump — something pretty much everyone agrees is fucked up then Trump jumps in to side with the fucked up thing, and the result is not a story that's like "Trump sides with fucked up thing" but to change the fucked up thing to instead become "controversial"

CNN@cnn.com

President Donald Trump on Thursday encouraged Republican Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to keep running a controversial ad featuring his opponent Amy Acton's estranged mother. CNN's Kaitlan Collins reports. Read more: https://cnn.it/3UH9xBq

It’s so funny that the election of Donald Trump represents a massive intelligence op against this country which has been mostly foiled by Donald Trump being the biggest piece of shit in the universe

I’m like those annoying leftie accounts about how the Dems won’t fix anything when they get back in but about like, freedom of the seas, the Dollar System, multilateral security alliances, immigration, Canada

Also maybe just the Bluesky effect here but the “liberals hate socialist more than fascists“ lie seems like it’s getting beaten up a lot quicker lately too

Ya know what’s cool is that this lie would have flown like a bird about five years ago before Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Europe and now it’s just bizarrely anachronistic to the point it feels like this guy just walked through a time portal from this time in 2021

I’ve been an open skeptic of the political value of Gen Z riots but I also have a suspicion some of the dumber arson attacks associated with Gen Z riots are cutouts/freelance by Russian intelligence

The Washington Post photographer who was attacked by Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank so badly that several vertebrae were broken said Sunday she was increasingly angry that Israel's military seems to protect settlers more than the Palestinians they threaten. https://to.pbs.org/4i4PggV

FWIW this is incorrect but it does let me talk about my favorite hobby horse: how to lead an educated person‘s life in a time when careers are getting all fucked up.

a lot of opposition to AI is rent seeking, and the material incentives of being a rentier, even a small time one, lead you towards fascist conclusions from first principles

Scene report from Hitlerzville, FL: the mood has turned I would say. Where I thought there was some contrition last year there is increasingly defiance and contrived wounded honor

Packing up some of my parents books and I found an underlined passage in a book about Rome with the words **CLINTONS** BILL & HILLARY printed in ink next to it

Bluesky always says this but it’s true: ambient pop culture online is very full of straight up Nazi propaganda and the countervailing media is basically just bland scandal/gossip/celebrity stuff. There’s no civic humanist liberal stuff at all much less a “left”
