It is increasingly clear that western governments are invested in Israel—politically, economically and militarily—because its hypermilitarised culture, murderous border regime and complex latticework of internally segregated citizenship are the model they aspire to as the response to climate crisis.
I don’t think Germany’s staunch support of Israel is merely ideological or rooted in post-WW2 guilt. I think it is largely strategic. I think it is planning for a world where Germany wishes to suppress or expel much of its non-white population. The Nazis are at 25% in the polls, for goodness’ sake.
Germany’s huge cuts to the sectors providing migration services while pumping huge money into its military points to a fundamental reshaping of German society. A hard-edged future where security is valued over community. Migrants (non-white, obviously) are mere threats to be policed and controlled.

NEW: In a landmark ruling, Michigan's supreme court has struck down mandatory life without parole sentences for youth up to age 21.

You came up with a nice way to rank websites three decades ago that you don't even use anymore. There's no reason you should get to order people around, to determine meager schedules for family and leisure. In a world with a decent wealth cap, your opinions would be as useless and ignored as mine.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished
