I don't think it's an accident that many of the Hellenic mythic figures who challenge the Gods, for example, are people who are themselves privileged among mortals. They do so because their power has conditioned them to see themselves as untouchable, not as some broader project of mortal liberty.
(This is extremely relevant! In most traditional religions observance is not a matter of personal faith, it's a matter of collective communal practice, where if one fails to uphold the proper obeisances, the entire community is now in danger, so there's huge cultural pressure to observe.)

Chabad conspiracies are very funny because on the internet people genuinely believe every Rabbi in Latin America or elsewhere is part of some color revolution scheme when they’re mostly busy certifying alcohol and other foodstuff related commodities as kosher. Israel hating companies included.

Somehow everyone in America sees Rs as "stern (abusive) daddy" and sees Ds as "weak (abused) mommy", somehow very much including both Rs and Ds themselves and voters in both parties and pundits in the middle. Its absolutely wild, and it is depressingly explanatory for how they all see their roles

I don't even think this was remotely a good global ordering, *and* this is a very very bad way for it to shatter
It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

I'm screenshotting this because I'm not trying to be smug but the first thing that came to mind was the Austro-Hungarian Empire which wasn't that long ago. Rom famously had a series of batshit emperors.

its crazy we know nothing about this operation. no idea what the plan is going forward, no announcement of what forces participated or what was striked. not even really sure if there are still US forces on the ground or in the AO. i doubt we’ll be getting even a bad legal justification either

Trump: "Effective today, America will no longer require 72 'jabs' for our beautiful, healthy children. We are moving to a far more reasonable Schedule, where all children will only be recommended to receive Vaccinations for 11 of the most serious and dangerous diseases."

The reason the Trump regime is trying to demolish the entire international order built after World War II is that they think the wrong side won that war.

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.
If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.
