It helped us win the Cold War, grasped the China challenge early, and figured out revolutions in warfare.

1. Be like Mexico, agreed to secure border.
2. Be like Poland, bump up defense spending.
3. Be like Abe/ Netanyahu, shower Trump with praises in public, give him the proper respect he thinks he deserves. Let the negotiation be done under the table.

This is the SEMINAL POLITICAL PODCAST of 2025. Podcasts like this are EXACTLY how young men will consume and understand politics.
Dem strategists should study every single second of it and recognize this is their new reality for reaching young men. Guaranteed.

“Social revenge” is the idea that assailants, particularly those from the disaffected ranks of society, have committed violence in a desperate bid to air their grievances.
It's a term and an idea that, recent events have shown, clearly resonates in both Chinese and Western online spaces right now.
It's a term and an idea that, recent events have shown, clearly resonates in both Chinese and Western online spaces right now.
The term “revenge society" (報復社會) is used in China to refer to acts of violence against innocent civilians committed in blind desperation by those on the bottom rung of society to protest social and political injustices for which there seems no recourse.
