The antisemites are adopting the language and style of the anti-Zionist left to sane-wash their delusional beliefs. Don’t fall for it.

The newspaper noted, however, that in a 2019 interview, Ahmadinejad praised President Trump and argued for a rapprochement between Iran and the US.

Everyone who goes on TV is automatically interviewing for a position in the Trump regime.

A future where the owners defeat the proletariat is the exact opposite of what Marx predicted. It’s also suspicious that the tech bros are concerned that people are miserable.

Before Oct 7, I was a vague supporter of Israel. I got interested and read a few books. Goddamn!

Only one is a polemic, the other two are histories.

I just look at vanilla lemmy.world on a browser. I’m not really sure what an “instance” is, other than .mil sucks.

That’s why we’re invading Cuba: to teach them baseball! We might even share our American love of classical cars.

“mass” prayer event.

The article doesn’t load. I’m confused; when they say “mass” do they mean a whole bunch of people will be praying, or that it’s a Catholic service?

By cultivating radical individualism conservatives shoot themselves in the foot. In their vision of freedom any obligation on the citizen is an outrage.

America is weak.

Neat, now realize that the same thing is happening to you; that 5yo kid you used to be is just as dead as if they got hit by a car.

I would argue that a past-tense love is evidence of a past-tense YOU.

Just want to point out that this is unfair to the internal candidate too. The boss is basically saying, I know you can do the job and have put in the time. But I still wanna check to see if I can get a better candidate, just in case, you understand.

Never waste resentment on your rivals when your owners are right there.

Fred Hampton. I don’t mean to pass over other civil rights martyrs, but the Black Panthers were something special. Real revolutionary politics, organised, and taking direct action; the high-water mark of leftest politics in modern America.

If you’re doing a factorial the long way, is there any reason to multiply anything times one? It seems like you could just skip it, but I’m not a math guy.

It’s a good theory, but Shapiro’s problems pre-date this. Shapiro’s problems seem to really start in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s killing. The Nick Fuentes, anti-Semitic faction of the Right has become ascendant and they don’t like Ben. (for some reason).

You could even argue it goes back to the friction with Candace Owens, and her firing from The Daily Wire behind her support of Kanye West.

In any case, the American right is splitting up over the idea that opposition to Israel is antisemitic. They believe that and therefore cannot support Israel.

AI slop is content geared toward metrics in an algorithm. AI is helpless and must produce content averaged out by the metrics of whatever company designed the thing. But humans are perfectly capable of producing slop.

For example, a director working for Apple wanted to nerd out on the opening sequence to pay tribute to an obscure movie he liked. Apple said no. Their data showed that audiences needed to be captivated in the first 30seconds or they’d switch off. So how about a drone-shot over a European city with a song that cost a fortune to licence, and with a voice over explaining everything? All the slop, none of the AI.

Conservatives could take the hint that racism burns calories; it doesn’t matter how you feel in your heart. John Roberts doesn’t use the N word when he steals voting rights from black Americans living in the slaveholding States.

You can’t just bully weaker Island nations near your coast just because their’s a history of political bad blood.

I got my ass paddled 3 times before my State cut that crap out. Mr Summerville got me twice, but that was nothing compared to the drilled-out paddle that Mrs Routin kept.

Shortly after 911, someone told me that if you’re going to do something to the US that she’s never done to anyone else, you’re going to need 3 nuclear weapons.

I thought it was egregious at the time.

Throw his ass in the volcano.

Masculinism has been a great gift, because factions with different views on, say, protectionism or Israel or Big Tech can all agree on the overreach of feminism and the need for a return to traditional gender roles. Far from being a fringe belief system, masculinism has become the single most important force uniting the American right, bringing together an unlikely constellation of pastors, posters, senators, preachers, influencers, podcasters, and fanboys.

Misogyny was the first bigotry and the model for all the others. No wonder it’s the connective tissue of the American Right.
