The case that Maduro is bad is weak. It’s reaks of imperial lecturing. All the guys I don’t like is dictators who gives a shit. Europe and USA is so called democracy and is constantly bombing every one
The case that the Maduro government in Venezuela is bad: strong
The case that Venezuela or terrorists based there attacked America, or pose a serious threat to do so: nonexistent
The case for removing Maduro by force and assuming things will just sorta naturally improve from there: very weak

Very interesting. I will have to check out his book to understand more. Specifically his ideas about “indigenity” which might be contextual to Uganda and Africa and not work in American context
“All the threads which led to the Asian expulsion in 1972 are present in the US now. But it’s not the same.
The big difference is that there is a counterthrust here, and it’s just beginning. I think this election in New York City is a possible beginning.”

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Oh noooo not our death machine tech noooooo!!!
I'm not really crazy about the Saudis getting access to our stealth tech, at all. We taxpayers paid billions of dollars over dozens of years to develop this tech and in Saudi Arabia it will easily end up in Beijing and Moscow. Currently all they really have is a few parts from the F117, Gen 1 stuff.

Venezuela is a distraction from the Epstein stuff, correct. But don't be mistaken. They very much also want to destroy Venezuela.
They'd be doing this even without the Epstein stuff. The build-up started just after the Iran bombing.

It’s said this what “woke” has become
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him
I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

It’s not that bad of strategy but calling it “common sense” makes it sound stupid
Senate Democrats have a common-sense compromise: Let’s extend the ACA enhanced tax credits at the current levels for a year, and start a bipartisan working group to find real, long-term solutions to our country’s health care crisis.

One thing the NYC mayoral race underscored for me is how easily the phrase "I don't feel safe" can be weaponized. It's an argument I would hesitate ever to use again, even for a good cause. I hope we can all agree that we have the right to BE safe. Maybe we should leave it at that.
