"Fascists intended to redraw the map with the sword in order to secure their vision of an ethnically pure and strong nation… It is no surprise that conservatives across the Western world have embraced these ideas. What is shocking is how many Western leftists have done the same." (from October 2023)

“I just want all of this to end as soon as possible, so that the children don’t have to experience this. I want the war to end. I want this nightmare to be over.” Ukrainians share how they spend their nights in subway stations to protect their families from terror.

gotta say I really don’t love the use of the Israeli flag here especially when some of the largest foreign institutional investors in data centers are not even Israeli (primarily the gulf states) Sunrise has truly lost the plot ngl

Annihilation always makes Halloween lists, so I thought I'd do a thread of creepy reads. Starting today with a flat-out modern masterpiece, Max Lury's No Ghosts. Thoroughly contemporary and disturbing grounded in deep characterization, and, in part, outdoing Back Rooms while also its own thing. 1

I think its important to understand the campus sexual assault crisis is way worse than you think. universities suspend just 1/12,400 students each year for sexual misconduct & expel 1/22,900. once you read title ix administrators in their own words, you get a sense why that is:

porn is so deeply misogynistic. i just watched a video with dozens of performers going at it, and they literally hadn’t bothered to hire a single woman.

I love this argument from nativists that transplants aren’t “integrating” with the neighborhoods they’re moving into. Replace “transplant” with “immigrant” and see what that sounds like.

CBS has become such a chud network they’re even making of Weiss on LinkedIn

Ratio me. Please. It's a badge of honor. If you don't like a link, go follow some chicken-heart who needs the approval of the thought-police. Caitlin Flanagan of @theatlantic.com is a tremendous writer and this piece is an excellent read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Everything. These people are generally fucked up as in they haven’t processed their traumas properly, they’re addicts, losers, generally the bottom feeders of society.

1. This New York Post cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie. How do I know? I interviewed the organizer of the petition.

“When Vladimir Jabotinsky, the founder of the Revisionist tendency in Zionism that eventually produced Benjamin Netanyahu, visited Warsaw in the 1930s, the Bundist press pegged him as ‘the spiritual father of Jewish fascism.’” www.liberalcurrents.com/here-where-w...

This worked in the EU btw. When Poland had “LGBTQ Free” zones, billions of dollars were frozen. Once people realized “hey this shit sucks”, got rid of the conservative ruling party that money was unfrozen and spent on massive infrastructure projects.

If you really force a binary choice between "I support Likud and what it is doing in Palestine and Lebanon" and "I oppose the existence of Israel", that conversation is going to go badly for Israel. I don't understand how AIPAC, Van Jones et al. don't see this. They are their own worst enemy. /end

"The Americans can't get the slime out of their capital's monument pool and will arrest you for touching it," sounds like the sort of lie they'd tell us in the Soviet Union so we'd stop bitching about bread lines.

It should be much more controversial for American politicians to march with Bezalel Smotrich, a wanted war criminal, than it is for them to protest such an event. Any parade that chooses to feature Smotrich at the head holding the banner has gone far beyond generic celebration of a country.

Also genuinely what? How does recognizing Israeli conquest (violating the fundamental tenant of post WW2 global politics) block Iranian expansion?

Israel’s Western supporters fundamentally share the Likudnik/Putinist/Schmittian belief that democracy is only really prissy window dressing and not actually a cause worth fighting for, so when the contradictions of 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇮🇱 campism break they abandon the fight for democracy in favor of the one for race

As Jabba the Hutt's son I'm often gatekept from progressive spaces due to preconceived notions about my family. At the same time, I acknowledge the reasonable concerns my presence would raise, and I'm working every day to unlearn the harmful attitudes instilled in me on my father's pleasure barge.

I like the idea that Hutts are like any immigrant family and Jabba refuses to speak anything but Huttese at home and his kids are like jacked zoomers that are a full foot taller than him and only speak Huttese specifically when explaining how the Samsung remote works on the phone.
