one of the things that comes up, over and over, in every account of the war in the pacific was the level of murderousness the IJN showed towards helpless or surrendered american servicemen

This is why you should act like everything a potential leader says is sincere. If they sincerely believe war crimes are good, that's disqualifying.
If they say it insincerely, their lying is disqualifying.

the use of "color revolution" here is like the spoor of the authoritarian internationale--the way that russian propaganda has slithered its way in to the american right
Sen. Eric Schmitt: "This is the language of a color revolution where you're calling on military men and women to disobey orders."

what i think is especially interesting is how much YIMBYism has broken with this entire paradigm. we don't pretend to be the authentic voice of the people. but we also haven't retreated into the dreamland of "mass proletarian mobilization!!" instead we focused on winning the war of ideas directly

I do think some people are kind of fighting the last war when it comes to 'not platforming', like guys these people hold elected office, the horse is very well out of the barn, it's not 2015 anymore.

then you would be in agreement with pretty much every american government municipal to federal, which is one of the major contributing factors to why our politicians are constantly doing graft and insider trading
Hey so what if I said politicians shouldn't be able to make millions of dollars in office and that they should be subjected to earn the same minimum wage of their state?

Literally the reason Twitter sucks now is all these foreigners logged on willing to do racism for pennies on the dollar and undercut our home-grown American racists. We need to erect serious trade barriers to protect the integrity of our domestic racism industry and preserve racist jobs.

The easiest way to make housing affordable immediately without new building is to hike property taxes, which reduces asset prices by the NPV of the perpetual liability. This also helps young people buy, as they have future income rather than current wealth. Naturally we’re doing the opposite.

A handy cheat sheet: if you totally expropriated various forms of capital income in the US and redistributed them as a UBI, how much would the payments be? Nationalizing all banks/insurance companies + nationalizing all landlords, for example, would provide less than $450 per month.

we all kind of let the conservatives win the narrative on the 2020 protests. the reality is, and everyone knew this at the time, the violence was almost always started by police brutalizing peaceful protestors. the ICE playbook is the 2020 playbook

The only way these fascist chucklefucks make this work is by succeeding in manufacturing the *appearance* of inevitability, because they *do not* have the force or skill to win a straight fight.
In short, the only weapon that can deliver them victory is you: the fool doomer whose nihilism is poison

Kirk didn't serve in the military or hold office. The war hero treatment -- half-mast flags, military guard, Air Force Two escort, calls for a statue at the Capitol or to lie in the Rotunda -- shows that for MAGA, service to Trump has become the highest, most honorable form of service.

It may not be "politically correct" to say this, but I don't care: The United Kingdom is a presidential republic, much like Egypt or France, with a unicameral legislature serving staggered six-year appointments.

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger
Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

Trump lying in an Oval Office address that Charlie Kirk’s killing was caused by people comparing him and his organization to Nazis—lying because he has no idea, but declared it anyway—pairs interestingly with some prominent Trump fans saying they hope this can be their Reichstag Fire.

In general “bimodal but not binary” is something that seems to break brains a lot. Like a specific type of personality really dislikes the idea that something is neither a neat continuous distribution nor a on/off. It’s a type of complexity that just drives some people nuts, not just on gender stuff
Biological sex is a spectrum too, not just gender. That’s not postmodern nonsense, it’s reality as revealed by science. Sex is a cluster of phenotypical characteristics that tend to, but do not always, correlate. The spectrum follows a bimodal distribution, but that’s not the same thing as a binary!
Abolish Gender is so 2012, get in losers, in 2025 we are abolishing sex
