Power Word Debt.
kinda beside the point, but US kill line doesn't resonate as well in English imo because there aren't actually that many games popular in the West that have "instantly kills enemies below X% HP" effects but a very resonant term that's often used in gaming does exist in English: "death spirals"

What these people are doing to the power of calling out real antisemitism, in an incredibly dangerous time of surging global antisemitism….man, it is just so worrisome

I couldn’t find a more recent poll but it’s notable that after Netanyahu helped Trump win the election, Trump returned the favor for Likud by enabling a popular ceasefire that favors Israel
Netanyahu’s approval ratings at all-time high: Poll
The survey also found that if elections were held today, the ruling coalition would win a 66-seat majority.

You don't need to be an anarchist to think that ICE should be abolished
You can be a good governance liberal who thinks that the agency has demonstrated an institutional disrespect for the Constitution, and therefore advocate for unwinding the agency and rolling its functions into a revived INS.

ICE have revealed themselves to be nothing more than the partisan militia of MAGA. When Trump became president, he did not "execute Order 66." They have been yearning for the Day of the Rope since their founding, and all Trump did was give free rein to their basest impulses.

I'm starting to think that Mendelssohn might have been wrong. Maybe Jewish people do need the right to legally excommunicate certain Jews for saying dumb fucking shit like this.

I'm certainly sympathetic to this attitude (I *also* hate people looking at me), but at the same time, I think we probably shouldn't "resent" people for liking video podcasts.

this is the simple answer to people who keep saying NATO expansion matters. Sure, it matters because it presented an obstacle to Russian imperial ambitions. Putin didn't invade because he hated NATO expansion, he hated NATO expansion because he wanted to invade

One of the right wing's top cultural initiatives was trying to destroy the idea that assholery deserves shame and we'll have to reverse that. "I'm just expressing an opinion I'm entitled to." Ok but you're an asshole. "I'm simply doing a business practice that technically isn't illegal." Ok. Asshole

Ben Shapiro personally made this all possible by peddling the line "[Obvious antisemite] definitionally can't be antisemitic, they're pro-Israel!" for years and decoupling [hatred of Jews] from [antisemitism] in the minds of his millions of listeners. All in service of Donald Trump.

"Planted roots in" good grief.
Even when pretending to laud "migrant families," these people can't help but hold up assimilation into Blood & Soil as their end-all-be-all goal for their model minorities.

Kind of wild how the take that some of Trump's supporters were "deplorable" was some huge scandal, but regularly screaming about "radical left scum" is just a thing he'll say with no media backlash.
