maybe i'm ego-ing out but this has been my operating theory for a while

TikTok hit young men with a precision strike of body dysmorphia and eating disorders and we absolutely did not have the antibodies for it
i don't know really who said this but an underrated reason why men online have been going crazy is that we have very little prior immunity to things that have circulated in women's content for decades
remembering now that this wasn’t even the first time Tate demeaned the whole concept of “eating food” in general, which makes for an ironically very similar ethos to the kind of eating disorder content marketed towards women

This is a key piece of what’s going on that I think more people should put together into summaries and pictures of the world.

What you're looking at here is so big as to be indistinguishable from a concerted information war effort by something or someone efficacious and powerful.

Realism is when you intentionally collapse your own sphere of influence and hand over power to your adversaries because reasons
According to this piece, Kissinger, Brzezinski and Scowcroft never wielded much influence in US foreign policymaking, Quincy is a realist policy shop and Eldridge Colby is "[o]ne of the most important realist thinkers of this era."

Opinion | Trump’s Foreign Policy May Be Crude, But It’s Realist
The president understands that the liberal international order was possible only because of U.S. might, and Americans don’t want to pay the bill anymore.

The problem with Dems chasing public opinion is that THE PUBLIC'S VIEW OF THINGS IS JUST MOVING IN RESPONSE TO WHAT POLITICAL FIGURES SAY AND IT'S VERY OBVIOUS IN THE DATA MY GOD

It’s true, one reason you can tell right wingers are lying about their motivations regarding Ukraine is they involve caring about far away people, something they’ve explicitly disavowed.

It’s striking how effectively republicans tied mainstream dems with random internet communists, despite the two groups hating each other, while the vice president and shadow president are clearly in a million group chats with literal nazis and people hardly notice
you can basically churn out a piece like this a day if you dive into who musk and vance interact with on twitter but for some reason no legacy media outlet is doing that
EXCLUSIVE: A Hitler-quoting ‘Aryan’ has the attention of JD Vance and Elon Musk—who is @captivedreamer7?

My latest with @kylebazgo.bsky.social for @dailydot.com identifies the likely operator of the anonymous racist account as Geoffrey Martin, a Canadian.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent.

“It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

“A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.”
