There is no definition of "Western Civilization" that is any less abstract or socially constructed than cosmopolitan liberalism.
The Rubio speech really is appalling, and if you haven’t read it yet, you should.

I legitimately don't think I'll ever forget when Ilhan Omar asked where Afghans or Palestinians could go for justice if not the ICC or ICJ and dozens of Democrats legitimized the Republican smear that she was talking about the Taliban

another case where "ai disruption" seems like an excuse for a correction thats long been necessary. corporate credit got really hot during high covid's low rates and now that rates have gone back up some of those losses are going to start to materialize
The $3.5 trillion leverage loans and private credit markets could be hit next by disruption from the AI boom, according to UBS analyst Matthew Mish who expects $75 billion to $120 billion in fresh defaults in the two markets by the end of this year. www.cnbc.com/2026/02/13/a...
AI disruption could spark a ‘shock to the system’ in credit markets, UBS analyst says
UBS analyst Matthew Mish told CNBC that the artificial intelligence transformation is happening faster than he and his colleagues had previously anticipated.

"Great Powers have recognized spheres of influence and have carte blanche to maintain order within them" is basically what a lot of modern leftists have worked their way around to supporting.

This is true but also not really that true, she is also a former member of the Democratic Majority For Israel board and has worked with the American Jewish Committee. She once tweeted that Gaza should be nuked, in 2018. She wasn't fired from any of her positions for that.
Literally it’s just one lady.
She was a marketing exec who made billboards for her daddy’s company and now she just makes these billboards and calls it activism.

Degenerate gamblers is putting it kindly.
The only goal in the antebellum south was to be a planter. Every enterprise, all learning and skills, were acquired in the effort to become a planter.
Despite this, they were all terrible at running plantations with no-cost labor. Nigh universally in debt.

"the elite of the antebellum South were degenerate gamblers who financed their lifestyles with industrialized rape and would kill you for pointing this out" is a straightforwardly accurate statement

I keep saying, lifetime eldercare is what every elderly congressperson believes they are entitled to. There used to be the occasional scandal about things like "house staffer forced to pick up dry cleaning" but you might have noticed they have all decided their staffers are their servants

Israel now regularly ships dozens of bodies of people they’ve murdered to Gaza, without names and often with missing (likely harvested) organs.
As you can see from the Telegram reactions, Israelis think that’s hilarious.

“Let’s base our society on the sentiments” the Scots theorists rationally said after the terrible wars of religion; “No, we must build on reason alone!” the French angrily cried, overcome by their characteristic Gallic passion.

My brief history of rockets goes like this. Some Chinese people made fireworks. When the Japanese invaded China, they stole the secret of fireworks, and gave them to Wernher von Braun, who made them into bombs. But in America, Goddard invented rockets that didn't explode. Then we landed on the moon.
