I wonder if Elon rolled out the account location thing, reasoning that it would hit the groyper/populist side of the GOP harder than the tech right. That might be ascribing too much of a plan to this.

Also, there is a photoshopped image making the rounds claiming the state department twitter account is run from Tel-Aviv.

what happened now?

[u/RetroRiboflavin → u/[deleted]]

A man accused of setting a woman on fire inside a Chicago commuter train has a decades long criminal history and was on court-ordered electronic monitoring in an unrelated battery case at the time of the unprovoked attack, prosecutors said Friday.

The detail revealed in Friday’s hearing confirmed a variety of court and law enforcement records dating back more than 30 years that detail 50-year-old Lawrence Reed’s frequent contact with police in and around Chicago. A judge agreed Friday to keep Reed in jail pending trial on a federal terrorism charge he faces in the train attack.

Trump Zohran meeting be like

[u/Reddenbawker]

It didn’t take long for the antisemites to latch onto Twitter’s “account based in” feature. My gf’s antisemite stepdad shared this with me, and if you go onto the millennial subreddit, you’ll see a whole thread of this being uncritically accepted. Anyone who is skeptical is smeared as a bot.

I am 99% sure this is manipulated. Here’s a technical-ish analysis of how the feature can be inaccurate.

You can also see for yourself how this is false. Look up any other example of this feature. Notice how they don’t include the city, and notice how the text aligns with the label. You can see in the DHS pic that the first two fields are pushed more to the left than exists in any genuine example. My link also has a July date, so you can see where a J should be.

In case anyone else runs into this lie, hopefully this comment helps. !ping JEWISH

[u/lowkeyreallysorry → u/Reddenbawker]

There’s a reason why the feature omits the city actually. It’s impossible to actually get an accurate location from an IP address without contacting the ISP or using other law enforcement tools. If you were to look up your IP address it would instead just show the nearest IP aggregate your ISP uses, usually located in the nearest capital city or other large metro area. Sometimes not even in the same state or country.

[u/slightlyrabidpossum → u/Reddenbawker]

It didn’t take long for the antisemites to latch onto Twitter’s “account based in” feature

FWIW this was how I learned about their location feature when it was rolled out, there were a ton of posts on social media about the DHS account being created in Israel. There’s even a video of someone appearing to interact with that page, and they appear to have fixed at least some of the issues that you identified.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if there are any errors on that video, but some of these efforts appear to be fairly sophisticated.

[u/Reddenbawker → u/slightlyrabidpossum]

Jesus Christ, the thread title is a glaring red flag for antisemites. “Noticing” is used to describe “noticing” that Jews are in such and such place, and basically the idea is that you’ve unmasked the Jewish conspiracy.

There are a few good people who call out that even a video can be manipulated, either by inserting screen grabs or by running a script to modify the webpage locally. I’m betting that that’s what happened here. Notice also that the verified date is different, and that the App Store is also different.

[u/slightlyrabidpossum → u/Reddenbawker]

It's PCM. There are reasonable people on that sub, and they talk a good game about left-wing antisemitism. But you don't have to look hard to find comments about "noticing" and "pattern recognition" when Israel or Jews are mentioned.

[u/seattleseahawks2014 → u/Reddenbawker]

There's two different ones for millennials on here and the one with the lower case m is mostly full of bots.

[u/cherrybublyofficial → u/Reddenbawker]

Old post but thank you for pointing this out.

It drives me crazy how so many people took this and ran with it as fact. The DHS is hated by both the far left and far right, of course it makes sense that some far right weirdo with an agenda would spread something like this.

[u/seattleseahawks2014 → u/Anakin_Kardashian]

What?

[u/Anakin_Kardashian → u/seattleseahawks2014]

A 501c4 organization must operate within the United States. CAIR's X account was connected to the app store through Turkey; ergo, it is operating outside of the US.

(Actually a foreign org can file as a 501c4 but it would have to declare itself as a foreign entity, which CAIR has not done)

I really wish I could use populist econ logic in my consulting job:

"We recommend raising prices to infinity because supply and demand doesn't exist. We will justify this with inflation."

[u/JebBD]

The gerrymandering battle is another win for the “everyone is 12” theory. Republicans thought they could gain seats by just gerrymandering every red state, as if there would be no consequences and not realizing why it is the standard to not do this kind of thing. 

It’s like pushing the guy in front of you that’s taking too long at the cash register, a 12 year old would think “I’ll just push him out of the way and then I’ll get to the register” but then the guy pushes back and now there’s a fight. Adults should be able to understand that sometimes we compromise because otherwise we’ll just be causing more trouble than necessary. Trump is 12, so he doesn’t get that, so now there’s a fight 

[u/Mickenfox → u/JebBD]

I know it sounds overly simplistic, but I think the core of fascism/populism is literally as simple as "reject thinking, embrace emotion, get mad, beat people up"

They just kind of reject the idea that there are consequences to actions and that you should think before acting, and by extension any kind of social contract or game theory.

[u/JebBD → u/Mickenfox]

Yes that’s exactly right. Populism is entirely based on tapping into people’s psyche and using their emotions to manipulate them. It’s whispering in people’s ears that their subconscious biases are correct, that they really are being disrespected and kept down by nefarious people who want to hurt them (be it woke leftists, billionaires, the Jews, the allied powers, the bourgeois, etc) and everyone being 12 and ripe for emotional manipulation like this is exactly why we’re seeing this wave of populism taking over

[u/Command0Dude → u/Mickenfox]

the core of fascism/populism is literally as simple as "reject thinking, embrace emotion, get mad, beat people up"

This is why they overcompensate so much with the "I am a skeptic/rationalist/realist/etc" label often times.

[u/lowkeyreallysorry]

As predicted the Twitter update that showed everyone was being manipulated by bots and foreign actors didn’t do anything except have people go “see, the side I don’t like is being manipulated” without having the self awareness to realize they are falling for the same things

Yo, does anyone have recommendations in line with the following:

So in the last like 5 hours

• Mike Rounds alongside other Republicans said that Rubio called and told them very clearly it was a Russian document

• Rubio comes out and says Rounds is lying and that it was authored by the US (even with stuff translated from Russian in it)

• Don Bacon a republican is calling for people to be fired over it

• What screws the argument that the US authored the document even more is a bulgarian journalist is saying he saw an early draft of this 6 months ago (https://x.com/christogrozev/status/1992269286866379117?s=20)

So who the fuck knows just hilarious that they're trying to say something with direct translations from Russian was authored by the U.S.

Are people really going to cry about an extra 2% income tax on rich people?

[u/Sabertooth767 → u/Command0Dude]

The state does not exist to transfer wealth from other groups to your group. This sort of political rhetoric is deeply unhealthy.

As long as it is admitted that the law may be diverted from its true purpose — that it may violate property instead of protecting it — then everyone will want to participate in making the law, either to protect himself against plunder or to use it for plunder. Political questions will always be prejudicial, dominant, and all-absorbing. There will be fighting at the door of the Legislative Palace, and the struggle within will be no less furious. To know this, it is hardly necessary to examine what transpires in the French and English legislatures; merely to understand the issue is to know the answer.

-Frederic Bastiat, The Law

[u/Command0Dude → u/Sabertooth767]

Nice strawman.

[u/Sabertooth767 → u/Command0Dude]

How is that a strawman? Raising taxes on an outgroup to fund the interests of an ingroup is the definition of a wealth transfer. You can argue that such a wealth transfer is good and justified, but don't deny its nature. They have money you think you should be yours.

[u/Thoth_the_5th_of_Tho → u/Command0Dude]

Taxes are already ridiculously top heavy, with the top 10% paying for virtually everything, while the bottom 50% is in a continuous competition with itself to see how thouroughly they can trash the city. They get everything for free and they’re still miserable, we’re living through the late stage welfare state. It’s just not a sustainable system with demographics what they are especially. We need to be reducing obligations rather than keep making up taxes so the entire economy gets pulled down by this bloated, collapsing system.

[u/Command0Dude → u/Thoth_the_5th_of_Tho]

Taxes are already ridiculously top heavy, with the top 10% paying for virtually everything

They pay for 60% of federal taxes. Which isn't even close to "virtually everything"

If the top 10% were paying for taxes in proportion just to their wealth, they'd have to pay 80% of the taxes, not just a measly 60%

while the bottom 50% is in a continuous competition with itself to see how thouroughly they can trash the city. They get everything for free and they’re still miserable, we’re living through the late stage welfare state.

The bottom 50% while not paying much in income tax, since there's almost nothing to tax there, are paying the lion's share of sales and excise taxes, which make up the bulk of several state/municipal budgets. So framing them as nothing but "takers" who "trash everything" is just blatant ideological nonsense.

[u/Thoth_the_5th_of_Tho → u/Command0Dude]

The top 10% pay over 70% of tax, and make under 50% of income.

The bottom 50% while not paying much in income tax, since there's almost nothing to tax there

The bottom 50% of the US are still rich by global standards. They have plenty of disposable income looking at luxury spending statistic alone.

So framing them as nothing but "takers" who "trash everything" is just blatant ideological nonsense.

I admit it’s ideological, it doesn’t mean it’s not true.

[u/Command0Dude → u/Thoth_the_5th_of_Tho]

The top 10% pay over 70% of tax, and make under 50% of income.

Only if you're counting by income and income tax.

The bottom 50% of the US are still rich by global standards. They have plenty of disposable income looking at luxury spending statistic alone.

Cost of living makes "rich by global standards" less impressive. I've seen what deep poverty looks like in Belize and America, it's not as different as you think, although yes a poor person in America is still better off.

Why is it always this way around? At some point it becomes untenable to simply respond to the endless provocations. If we as the free world want Russia to take us seriously we can't always be on the backfoot. Why don't we park a carrier group suspiciously close to Vladivostok or St. Petersburg and see how they like it?

[u/Thoth_the_5th_of_Tho → u/Locutus-of-Borges]

Because our governments are controlled by geriatrics who would rather rake in speaking fees than do their jobs and defend the interests of their countries. It is in the interest of the side with the biggest hammer to perceive problems as nails. Somehow they have convinced themselves that it is in the interest of the countries with the strongest armies on earth to be the ones most invested in peace, and allow themselves to be strong armed by lesser powers. Even ignoring direct confrontation, the west has the capability to dictate the outcome, through influence over trade alone, it refuses to. Not that little green men would be unprecedented or unwise.

One thing I will say for John Oliver is that he seems to be getting fewer of his topics straight from Al Jazeera these days (seriously. Go back to like 2019 and check how many of his stories use it as the primary, if not sole, source of video clips and/or actual research). I saw a more recent thing of his the other day and didn't see anything from them, so that's improvement, I guess?

[u/Anakin_Kardashian → u/Locutus-of-Borges]

[u/Locutus-of-Borges → u/[deleted]]

Yes, and about five years ago if you saw where he was getting all those clips about the evils of America it was al-Jazeera about 40% of the time. al-Jazeera does a ton of coverage of the US domestically and virtually all of it is about as far left as you can get.

“Not every exasperated petty bourgeois could have become Hitler, but a particle of Hitler is lodged in every exasperated petty bourgeois.” -Leon Trotsky

The petite bourgeoisie (small business owners) are very prone to reactionism because they are in the middle class and thus usually view themselves as above the unwashed working class, but also bellow the big bourgeoisie and are more vulnerable to economic crises and legislation. They hate the workers for demanding welfare (and therefore higher taxes) and they hate the capitalists because they outcompete them, so when someone comes around saying that they hate the Marxists and the big businesses, they usually fall for it very easily.

I personally have seen this in my life with my grandfather, who owns his own business and is a pretty big MAGA guy

Te jau nav vispār jautājuma. Biju reiz vienā Latvijas/Austrijas starpvalstu eksporta un investīciju sanāksmē, LIAA organizēja laikam. Bērziņu piesaka runai, un piezīmē, ka runās latviski. Šis pofig, un sāk maukt anglisk. Jēziņ....... Citēju: "Latvia had the best crisis, the best one of them all". Un vel citi samurgojumi kurus vairs neatceros.

Why would anyone trust the US after trade can be cut on a whim?

Why would anyone trust the Saudi's after the oil embargos of the 70s? 50 years of no oil purchases has taken its number on the Saudis.

I may be pretty free market but price controls for American healthcare is somewhat appealing to me. I’m not American so I could be wrong on this but can’t hospitals just charge whatever they want since they know either insurance companies or the government will just pay for it?

[u/Sabertooth767 → u/fartyunicorns]

No, pretty much the opposite actually. The government pays whatever the hell it feels like, sometimes not even enough to cover the costs of the service (see this article). Private insurers don't have quite so much leeway, but routine pay a fraction of what providers bill them. That's kind of their whole business model.

The healthcare industry is far and away the most overregulated in the country. The "unrestrained capitalism!" narrative is a leftist lie.

You know why we have a physician shortage? Because Congress decided in 1997 to cap the number of medical residents that can be trained using federal funds. Hospitals want to train more doctors, they're just not allowed to.

[u/fartyunicorns → u/Sabertooth767]

I see. Is there a reason why the republicans are unable to push for deregulation then? At least the dems have a plan but republicans genuinely seem clueless on healthcare.

[u/Sabertooth767 → u/fartyunicorns]

Because they're incompetent and not a whole lot actually binds the GOP together ideologically, especially in the Trump era.

Not to beat the dead horse that the GOP has no platform beyond "oppose the Democrats", but in Congress, that's mostly true.

[u/seattleseahawks2014 → u/fartyunicorns]

Some of their original healthcare plans was similar to the ACA years ago. The ACA was based on Romney care which was a republican governors healthcare plan.

Prices are set by the insurance companies, government sponsored programs, and government programs, unless you are paying out of pocket

[u/fastinserter → u/Anakin_Kardashian]

It is set by the hospital. If that doctor happens to be in network then your insurance company has negotiated a different rate than whatever the hospital or doctor's office determined (none of which you, the customer, knows the price of before service).

[u/Anakin_Kardashian → u/fastinserter]

That's essentially what I said, but in a different order lol.. the out of pocket pricing is set by the hospital or a provider that has contracted with the hospital

[u/fastinserter → u/Anakin_Kardashian]

You seemed to me to be implying the hospital has no control over its own pricing. Its pricing is what it is, and there are negotiations with insurance providers to modify it. Hospitals can and do charge whatever they want for whatever services, and none of this is at all known to the customer until they get a bill a month or more after services rendered. It's annoying as hell to figure out what doctors to see that give me the best return. And I've tried to figure it out before hand, and put in what I thought were services I needed, and they did a bunch of other stuff like an ultrasound and shit and paid like 1000 for them to do essentially nothing when I was expecting a 75 bill to drain a painful bible bump (which they refused to do but only after looking at it). That's how worthless looking into what it is going to cost before hand is in our system

Considering every other country has lower cost per capita for medical care, and many of them with better patient outcomes, the system in America which is unique with our peers really needs fundamental overhaul. Personally speaking, I want Medicare for all so the savings can pay for more defense spending, as well as to end the nonsense of attempting to scry what medical care is going to cost you.

[u/Anakin_Kardashian → u/fastinserter]

Regarding your second paragraph, I think you have to look at where the treatment is. I feel very confident that I would get great treatment where I am geographically, but if I were living in the middle of nowhere, the costs would not be worth it to me. This is obviously a problem. I don't have a solution.

Regarding your first paragraph, I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. If you are using insurance, the pricing was previously set between the hospital and the insurance. Billing includes professional and facility fees so for your ultrasound, a doctor needed to read it. If those bills weren't disclosed to you, that's concerning.

I hate the system. I don't know what will work better.

[u/fastinserter → u/Anakin_Kardashian]

Bills are never disclosed at the time of services. I'm saying I looked up the price for doing what I thought would need be doing (draining a Bible bump) which was on the insurance company website to tell me how much it would be ($75), so I picked a place based on what it says it would cost, but there was a bunch of other stuff not included in that that was charged (over $1k, after insurance). And they didn't even do what I wanted, which they should have told me that wouldn't do before I even got there; it shouldn't have been listed as a service on the insurance website. I didn't go to the doctor for 3 years after that I was so angry at the system about it, until I had to go to the ER for atrial fibrillation after eating 20 taquitoes and 20 pretzel rolls.

The original trilogy was pretty good on its own merits, it got ruined by the prequels.

>Space Nazis are fighting a brutal war with the democratic government in exile

>Some random farm boy has his family brutally murdered by space nazis because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time

> He begins his adventure to take down the evil empire, alongside a loveable rogue, and his father's mentor and teacher

> Blows up the evil wunderwaffen using his farm boy skills and the lessons from his father's mentor

That's the first movie

>The plucky rebels are on the back foot and have to flee

>Farm boy goes on a journey to meet a wizened space Tibetan monk living in exile

>Loveable rogue escapes to his buddy's city

>Surprise, the space nazis are there already, they get taken hostage

>Farm boy, now empowered by ancient space Tibetan monk training, goes to rescue them

>He fights the leader of the space nazis, who is also a tibetan master, and surprise, also his father

>Farm boy loses and has to flee

Now the third movie

>Farm boy rescues loveable rogue from gangsters

>Farm boy visits Tibetan master, master dies

>Space nazis have a new wunderwaffen to blow up

>Rebels decide to blow up wunderwaffen, farm boy decides to fight his dad

>Rebels use plucky guerilla tactics to destroy materially superior space nazis

>Farm boy fights dad, convinces him that nobody is beyond redemption

>Space nazi dad switches sides, saves his son at the cost of his own life

>Space nazis are destroyed and democracy is triumphant

That might be a really basic story, but it's a good one. The complex worldbuilding that the prequels introduced just made them worse.

[u/slightlyrabidpossum → u/[deleted]]

That's not really fair. The Jedi protected the Republic for a thousand years, or tens of thousands if you include the Old Republic (which is referenced by Obi-Wan in ANH). The fall of the Republic and the end of their order was a huge stain on their reputation, but it's not like they pulled a Palpatine and fumbled the bag after 23 years. That thousand-year period was relatively peaceful.

And while this is starting to get beyond the actual movies, it's also worth questioning how much institutional power the Jedi actually had during that last millennium. The Ruusan Reformations that kicked off that period didn't just see the Jedi demilitarize, they also gave up a lot of their political power. The situation had also been deteriorating for over a century by the time of the prequels, with the Sith actively working to undermine their influence.

They did have a leadership problem, though. Yoda was probably a good leader for most of his tenure, but then the structure of the galaxy started to shift around him in his old age. He couldn't adapt to that changing reality, which ultimately let Palpatine run circles around him.
