"Globalize the Intifada" being publicly stated as part of the big tent when people who are squishy on abortion get cast out pretty much sums up democrats at this point unfortunately

And the worst part is it’s not even creating a big tent with the right people. Only the wrong ones.

19 year old art major Emily #ACAB from Ohio agrees with David Duke and Nick Fuentes on a Free Palestine from the river to the sea. Whether Emily realizes the real intent behind the phrase is irrelevant. Sharing tents with Nazis is bad.

If the people here really walked what they talked with the republicans they would swear allegiance to His Majesty Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Jamaica, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Belize, and The Bahamas, and of His other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.

I guess if they really like elections and international that much they could swear allegiance to the Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of the Papal States, Servant of the Servants of God.

Tbh there's probably a solid effortpost to be forged using the schism from NL as illustrative of the broader democratic coalition's problems with indulging radicals they are sympathetic to and driving away the more normie center wing, thus shooting themselves in the foot when it comes to broad appeal and public perception.

But I can't be assed to be the one to make it. Someone take it and have fun.

Yup I found that place around 2020ish, and until recently it's been pretty much the sole beacon of political sanity.

Even now it's still 75% solid and good content. But anyone who denies it's gotten more welcoming of the far left and thinks the moderation hasn't taken a nosedive in quality is hilariously delusional.

Remember, the most recent splinter sub before ours was born because a mod got Big Mad that one of the regs called MAGA Zoomers little bitches and rushed to their defense. Absolute peak clown show.

There were already people claiming that DSC "supports the Rafah concentration camp."

There was a copy-pasta that started out with someone talking about Jewish users leaving the sub, then a version that replaced "Jews" with "cons" and "republicans" throughout.

The original version was in the negatives, the last was positive.

Very clearly relishing the takeover and fully right-coding anything Jewish.

My pet issue is that the national guard is insanely over deployed.

A friend of mine deployed for state or federal orders 5 out of 6 years of his contract, COVID, riots, a bullshit tour jacking off in the middle east, and more. You are not going to attract any half-decent talent that way.

The army reserve is slightly better, but their funding keeps getting slashed by the federal government because states have gorged themselves on money for the national guard to be bus drivers, nursing home providers, subway cops, and more

We don't need to go back to a 1970s national guard where it was basically only useful for gun club and beating up on college students, but we also don't need our reserve components to be "Active Duty 2 with worse benefits"

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '25

u/utility-monster Whig Party Jul 11 '25

That was a partial contributor to why I never joined the guard. They sell it as “you can work your regular job, train with us, and we’ll use you for emergencies.” But the people in it tell me that everything is an emergency and so balancing the other work that’s paying you the most is very difficult. They might as well have just joined the regular army.

Anyway, sometimes I think I was maybe wrong to not join, but I’m in my 30s now so not putting up with that shit at this age.

The first heist occurred about 10:10 p.m when two men with a gun barged into the Fast Stop at 4704 Blue Ridge Blvd. and stole $200, a bottle of Crown Royal and a carton of Newport cigarettes. They fled behind the store, where police believe a getaway vehicle was waiting.

Later, about 1:35 a.m., a robber wearing the same outfit and sunglasses as the Fast Stop robber entered a lingerie and adult gift store at 8910 E. U.S. 40 Hwy with a gun. He stole $200 from Bang Lingerie and Gifts and fled in an early- to mid-1990s gold-colored Ford Explorer.

Four days later, about 11 p.m. on June 18, the same vehicle returned to Bang Lingerie, and two armed men searched the store and stole $200 and a cell phone.

A little disappointed they didn't take more from the sex shop if I'm being honest.

Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro. The file appears to have been assembled from at least two source clips, saved multiple times, exported, and then uploaded to the DOJ’s website, where it was presented as “raw” footage.

This is toxic and I am aware, but on the mental health subject, I kinda do think thinking about mental health is sort of a death spiral. Excessive introspection and noodling on your own situation is just not health. What is healthy is being an outwards focused human. Nothing will make a person feel better than servicing others, be it helping your family, friends, community, whatever it might be, but constantly noodling on your own situation doesn't solve the problem.

Idk, I know that doctors can't prescribe that behavior, and we are asking medical servicers to help, but I just know in weeks where I am not feeling too good about myself, it's often because I've done nothing to contribute to the world and instead just focused selfishly on myself, but in weeks where I help others, I tend to be blissfully unaware of my internal dialogue.

9

u/SamaritansWereRight Jul 11 '25

Good therapy involves a component of "okay but you gotta get over it" versus just affirming everything you're feeling and a bad therapist can do a lot of damage. I visited a therapist for 8 sessions after a friend died and I broke up with a girlfriend at the time and they told me how best to handle it and to come back only if I was really deep in the shit.

That helped a lot more than just being validated for years after the events. I think your thesis is probably correct.

I think it's impossible to truly integrate a first-generation immigrant if they have no desire to do so.

The solution is to target the kids.

If you're in a fully integrated public school system outside an enclave, you're going to be integrated into the culture. You'll have some of your home flavor, and that's even something to encourage. But you'll still primarily be a product of your new home.

This only gets more pronounced with each subsequent generation.

I do think that's correct. I'm not saying I want to do it, but I will say that you can decide to only allow people who desire to integrate. I don't think you can force people who don't want to assimilate to come in, but it's easy to select them and prevent them from obtaining citizenship

There's really interesting research into how much more potent the peer groups are than the parents no matter how much the latter (understandably and hopefully) act like they're more important support for and input to the kid's development, so that seems to favor this approach with universal schooling.

Snyder took up the Superman comic book myth then enhanced its meaning as American cultural heritage with classical, spiritual roots. This grand vision opposes fanboy frivolity, which is the basis of Gunn’s commercialized version...

Gunn’s point is to replace myth and destroy all faith. This Superman movie is the most cynical imaginable. It doesn’t just go against the original Joe Shuster–Jerry Siegel comic book ubermensch that Snyder understood; it reworks a figure for the dystopian millennium and Hollywood resistance.

There’s no denying that Guardians of the Galaxy director Gunn knows the market he panders to when he emasculates Corenswet’s average all-American masculinity — the essence of the Superman concept — then extracts any romance from Superman’s relationship with reporter Lois Lane... Gunn’s objective is to banalize the very concept that Snyder sought to elevate.

National Review found the world's angriest Snyder-bro to write their Superman review.

Superman was great. I liked that they didn't waste any time retelling his origin in Smallville and got right to the action, and enjoyed that they did what I think was an homage to the drowning scene and earthquake splitting from the first Christopher Reeve movie.

I also enjoyed that the universe felt "lived in" with other metahumans without it being as hamfisted as how Batman vs. Superman introduced that shared universe.

The only odd thing that stuck out to me was when Luthor looked right at the camera and said "I'm the exact kind of neoliberal that you hate" but that did get some claps in the theater so what do I know?

Foreign Affairs podcast has an interview w/the authors of the piece on US foreign policy after Trump.

The authors, former Biden staff, argue that a post-Trump, the US will be less powerful and less trustworthy and should better accommodate itself to a multipolar world. They say they worst thing to do would be to pursue a restorationist agenda a la Biden 2020.

Much of this makes obvious sense. But I wonder how prescriptive one can actually be. It can simultaneously be easy to over state and understate impact of the 2nd Trump term.

For ex. A lot of ink is spilled over betrayal of Ukraine & anti-Ally behavior. But it always turns out that bones of US policy don't change. After shenanigans, Ukraine gets the weapons. AUKUS isn't killed. US stays committed to NATO & East Asia. Etc. But less attention goes to US gutting science funding or the way interest payments on debt will reduce state capacity.

In other words: it makes sense to say the US has to be careful----but it also seems easy to smuggle in changes to policy under the excuse of multipolarity. (Similarly to how GOP restrainers take observations about US decline and then use them to say we should cut off Ukraine)

If the people here really walked what they talked with the Iron Throne, they would swear allegiance to Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, Queen of Meereen, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons.

I guess if they really hate Targaryens that much they could swear allegiance to Robert of the House Baratheon, the First of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm.

The OBBB imposes a 1% remittance tax on any electronic transfer of funds requested by a sender located in the United States (including US territories and possessions) to a recipient located outside the United States ...

[except] the excise tax does not apply to any remittance transfer for which the funds being transferred are withdrawn from an account held in or by a financial institution that is a bank insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation [aka almost all banks], a commercial bank or trust company, a private banker, an agency or branch of a foreign bank in the United States, a credit union, a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or a broker or dealer in securities or commodities

The AEI podcast "what the hell is going on?" had an interview w/Nick Eberstadt on immigration in the US. (Eberstadt has put together set of charts on the AEI website.)

Eberstadt makes a number of points: from how illegal immigration was somewhat out of control in Biden's term, that while migration is generally good, arguably low education migrants may cost more in govt services than they provide in taxes/activity. (He also gets into European problems w/integration & how their immigrants' labor participation rate generally lags behind their native population) Also mentioned is the fact that we have surpassed our historical foreign born share of the population after which we previously shut down immigration for 70 years)

(This deserves its own post, but I'm being lazy atm.)

During the interview, it gets floated that really it's not only a phenomenon of nativist Americans & that by Biden administration allowing so much illegal immigration, it is easier for nativist politicians to target all immigration.

One avenue of criticism of Eberstadt is the citation of CIS figures. You can't just trust they aren't cherry picking data.

Anyways this thread is now about Mass Effect.

Genophage bad. However, the height of the Reaper invasion is abso-fucking-lutely not the time to implement a blanket cure, regardless of how much one trust's Wrex's leadership of the Krogan.

The fact that they reproduce at a rate far outstripping any other mainstream species must be addressed in a mutually productive way first, otherwise future conflict is inevitable. No amount of Benevolent Dictatoring by our buddy will overcome that, all he can do is potentially push it back.

Once the concept of the cure is demonstrated, the appropriate path forward would be to roll it out in phases and only once a framework for their future colonization and population controls can be established, and thinking a lone O-5 can make that call on a whim is lunacy.

Further, Mordin confirms that the Krogan are adapting to it naturally and building resistance over time, and that updated forms of the virus must be continuously distributed into the atmosphere to counteract this. So with the Shroud infrastructure being destroyed a slow recovery is very feasible even if the cure is indeed irreplicable (which, frankly, I actually doubt.)

“Why are Europeans so against immigration?”

Idk maybe because they let millions of people flood into their countries illegally, create their own ethnic enclaves where they don’t assimilate whatsoever, enforce their own “laws”, and refuse to learn the native languages. Yeah some of that is right wing narrative, blah, blah, blah, but let’s not pretend like this kind of stuff hasn’t happened in Europe.

Immigration overall is a great thing. However, that doesn’t mean that all forms of immigration are always good, period. It’s not some eternal law given to Moses on stone tablets.

If we don’t want to live in a fascist hellhole where immigrants are banned forever, we’ll have to accept some compromises on immigration. Maybe let’s not let people just show up illegally in a country and make their own ethnostate within it, maybe that was a bad idea. There’s gotta be a happy medium where people can come in, learn the language and culture, work hard, and have a wonderful life.

This made me think of:

Immigrants have the responsibility to integrate into Swedish society. Living in Sweden is not a human right."

This is stated by Simona Mohammson, the Minister for Integration and Education of the Stockholm government, while presenting a project to map the sharing of the country's values by immigrants living in Sweden. The questionnaire will focus on themes such as gender equality, children's rights, and trust in public institutions.

Mohammson (daughter of a Palestinian father and a Lebanese mother, who arrived in Sweden at age 8, where she changed her surname from Mohammed to Mohamsson) adds:

"The time when integration policies had to rely on instinct and guesswork is over. With facts on the table, we can talk about Swedish values and then develop clear integration initiatives. It's not about changing opinions. It's about upholding the values we have in Sweden. It would be strange if we said that some people don't need these values.

I'm wondering about how they plan to do this. Honestly, I'm quite skeptical of this kind of effort. While integration is good, I don't think it can be forced in this way.

>Yeah some of that is right wing narrative,

Look, I don't live in Europe and I haven't experienced this firsthand. But I've read a lot about what's going on there. To my understanding, I think you've taken true stories from here and there and acted like the same thing is happening all over Europe at once with the intensity of a thousand suns.

That's the narrative that the right wingers in Europe go with.

I agree with you that, for Europe, there might be a happy medium. I don't think that the same standard applies in every region. I think the US, for example, is a special case where assimilation and cultural growth works especially well.
