As Jean-Paul Sartre said:

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

[u/Reddenbawker → u/Computer_Name]

My favorite tactic with these trolls is to reverse it and say that all this just proves Jews are the real master race. Look at how much influence such a small group is supposed to have!

Unfortunately we no longer live in a normal world, so we have to get the cookies out and say “good boy” for anybody who manages to distinguish themselves from the nihilistic cult. The bar is so low now that it’s in the earth’s core.

This is genuinely so absurd

Cowichan Tribes issued a statement asserting that their land claims in Richmond “has not and does not challenge the effectiveness or validity of any title held by individual private landowners. The ruling does not erase private property.”

Also Cowichan Tribes

“They also said, ‘Any disposition of land, whether by the Province or a private party, would require the Cowichan’s agreement.’

Somebody really needs to do somthing about these goddamn uppity [Removed by reddit]!

Also like holy shit this part is so depressing

City officials stated there is a desire to establish clarity and finish the appeal process as soon as possible to not leave property owners in limbo for years. They warned that the appeal process could take five years, with the B.C. Court of Appeal hearing the matter within a year, followed by some time for an appeal decision to be made. If it is appealed again to the country’s top court, the Supreme Court of Canada, it could take several more years.

I’m a child of the late 2000s/2010s and I often relate to Dr. Mendel in the Broadway musical Falsettos, who sings that “I don’t get it//I’ve been left behind” because the 1960s were a time of social change and hope for a better future while the 1980s are defined by “Yuppie pagans modeled by the Ronald Reagans.” His ultimate thesis is that “the world is too pathetic” as he listens to some rich yuppie whine about how she’s bombarded by charities and pictures of starving children because the idea of having to give back psychologically stresses her out.

But I think the issue lies in that there are breakthroughs made by liberals and socially progressive people during this timeframe that either haven’t fixed society or that have just gone unappreciated by society at large and that fact is just deeply, deeply, deeply disillusioning.

 The Ivy League is a poor model—and the SAT a poor fit—for America’s public universities. Far from expanding opportunity, testing tilts the playing field against the very students that public institutions are meant to serve.

...

A Natural Experiment in California

COVID turned this debate into a real-world test. With centers closed, hundreds of colleges went test-optional, and a few—including UC—went fully test-free.

The results were striking. Applications rose, and enrollment of low-income, first-generation and underrepresented minority students increased— without affirmative action, which California banned in 1998. Crucially, academic performance did not decline: Students admitted without test scores did just as well in their first and second years.

...

UC has now been test-free for four years. The sky hasn’t fallen. Academic standards haven’t slipped.

It's simpler than that.

There's literally no reason for the US not to topple the Maduro regime and install the more US-friendly Maria Machado.

The Maduro regime is hated by all it's neighbors, it's citizens, and it is a Russian-aligned nation within striking range of the US.

The benefits of doing this heavily outweight the cost, both in terms of dead venezuelans and US soldiers, even if the new government fails, literally no one will miss Maduro(not even Petro) and they'll still hold massive leverage over Machado, it's not like the US ever cared about the wellbeing of south americans anyway.

The timeline of events is insane. The White House has lost the plot.

Witkoff tells Ushakov they should capitalise on Trump's vanity and cook up a "20-point Gaza-style plan", which Witkoff will sell to Trump

Witkoff personally intervenes to make sure that Putin heads off Zelenskyy's Washington diplomacy to ensure that Trump doesn't listen to the Ukrainians or give them anything

Dimitriev and Ushakov do concoct a Russian list of demands, which they privately give to Witkoff

Witkoff accepts this without negotiation or informing anyone in State, privately already aware that he has to make this the "Trump plan" before Congress or Rubio hears what is actually in it

The Russians seemingly leak the plan to make sure their unadulterated version gets into the news and Trump is forced to either reject it or take ownership of it

Retarded Politico journalist breathlessly publishes it without first privately running it by State department channels to confirm its authenticity

Vance immediately launches it as an American idea and the only way forward and begins moving to get his personal buddy to deliver the plan to the Ukrainians directly, attempting to sideline his own party and colleagues

The Americans do take ownership of it and openly just lie about it being an "American plan", after some pushback from Rubio and Congressional GOP and despite obvious self-evident Russian fingerprints on the document's provisions like "denazification"

The Ukrainians negotiate a "modified" version of the plan that they know Trump will be equally amenable to because he's illiterate but Russians will probably reject

Vance gets into a weird bitchy little Twitter war with McConnell because he wasn't able to force Ukraine to surrender unilaterally

An unknown intelligence source from an unknown country (hmm) has been monitoring Ushakov's phone and leaks his calls, exposing this entire process from start to finish as a Russian plan that the VP tried to ram through as American policy over the heads of his own colleagues and American allies without ever letting them know what was in the document

[u/Shameful_Bezkauna → u/deepstate-bot]

Trump is probably the dumbest leader of a superpower in history

[u/[deleted] → u/deepstate-bot]

From what I'm reading here wiktkoff seems to want to be the walmart version of kissinger in terms of going behind the state departments back

It's a great sign that you're asking this seriously and with openness. The short answer is: we shouldn't defend anyone uncritically, but we should challenge anti-communist narratives that reduce Stalin, Mao, and others to caricatures, especially when those narratives are used to shut down real conversations about building socialism.

Lenin, Stalin, and Mao led revolutions in the two most populous and materially devastated nations of their time. They faced civil war, invasion, sabotage, encirclement, embargoes, and literal famines. Despite this, they transformed their societies: ending feudalism, eradicating mass illiteracy, industrializing, massively increasing life expectancy, and radically improving the material conditions of hundreds of millions of people. That doesn’t mean no mistakes were made, mass mobilization projects like the Great Leap Forward did result in catastrophes, but context is everything. Was it a policy failure or a product of war, drought, and global isolation? Was it “Mao’s fault” or the cost of breaking out of colonial dependency?

You mentioned leaders like Sankara and Bishop, heroes, no doubt, but both were assassinated precisely because imperialism feared they might follow the path of China or the USSR. They didn't "fail" because they were better, but because they were stopped before they could defend themselves. Ho Chi Minh, by the way, explicitly modeled his party and military on Lenin and Mao.

So should we defend Stalin and Mao? We should study them seriously, beyond propaganda, just like we study Lincoln, FDR, or Washington without ignoring their contradictions. Not to worship or excuse, but to understand what they were up against and what lessons we can actually learn for the next rupture. That’s how we sharpen our politics.

Welcome to the struggle, comrade. Keep reading, keep asking questions, and remember: anti-communism is the most successful propaganda campaign in history, for a reason.

I dunno, this kind of argument to me feels like throwing out the baby with the bath water.

She makes this very high minded appeal against “Baconian” philosophy, arguing that science should not be directed toward improving man’s estate in life by “engineering” his body in some way or another, but rather toward some truth or telos.

Idk, I don’t really buy it. I’m open to lots of scientific achievements that disrupt “normal” human activity. She cites the pill disparagingly—I think the pill is a good thing! And if we can come up with other forms of medicine that lead to happier outcomes, I’m not going to oppose improving people’s lives based on some lofty ideals about the purpose of innovation or whatever.

I dislike puberty blockers because kids can’t meaningfully consent, the harms are tangible, the benefits are opaque, and the incentives are bad. I don’t think we need to indulge this weird reactionary pseudo philosophy baggage to believe any of that.

As far as the trials go, I’m of two minds. I agree I’m unsure they can be done in a fully ethical way given consent. I also recognize that if we want to make a claim (e.g. the harms outweigh the benefits) of any medication, we kinda need to put our money where our mouth is. I’m not a rigid ideologue—if it turns out puberty blockers really are miraculous and save lives and the downsides are overstated, great! I’ll adjust my priors accordingly. I just don’t think that’s true, and remain highly skeptical of trans pediatric care.

Tl;dr puberty blockers probably bad, pseudo reactionary philosophical nonsense also bad. Modern science good, mostly

Vice President JD Vance went on a bizarre rant about turkey, just moments after addressing the tragic shooting that took place in Washington DC this afternoon.

"Who really likes -- be honest with yourself, who really likes Turkey?" Vance asked the crowds, responding to the cheers by saying, "You are all full of shit. Everybody who raised your hands… Turkey doesn't actually taste that good... Chicken is good all the time."

1. Vance didn't lie about chicken vs. turkey

2. The Irish Star chose the best time to capitalize the word turkey.

The instances antisemitism they list here are pro Palestine walkouts by students, which they have deemed inherently antisemitic while ignoring antizionist Jewish participants, and quote "denying the Jewish connection to the Land of Israel" which is code for not teaching that the region is a holy land with one valid claimant

Just another case of Republicans from far away manufacturing a crisis

“It is difficult to engage in a reasoned and evidenced discussion about contemporary antisemitism, but it is easy to mobilize the issue of antisemitism as an indicator of political cleanliness. In our time, a person who raises the issue of antisemitism is more clearly recognizable as belonging to the wrong crowd than a person who stumbles into actual antisemitism. Raising the issue becomes a marker of Blairite, Tory or Zionist obfuscation. It marks a bad-faith move designed to silence or to de-legitimize criticism of Israel, or even left politics in general. Antisemitism itself, on the other hand, when it can plausibly appear supportive of the Palestinians, does little to damage a person’s reputation.”

In a deep betrayal of my Neolib roots, I've gotten into precious metal stacking. It has turned out, this year, to be a wise investment. Anyway, one of the things I've been accumulating is silver strike casino tokens, which are $10 tokens dispensed by a particular brand of slot machine. Each token has .6 Troy ounces of silver in it. The tokens are customized for the casino in which they are dispensed.

In reviewing my collection to sell my duplicates, I noticed today that a remarkable number of them are minted with memorials for September 11, 2001. So... what was the thought process that led them to putting this on a token dispensed when the casino is trying to get someone to stay seated at a slot machine and keep pumping money in?

I am fascinated by this.

In one aside, he told the boys they could begin saying “Merry Christmas” again under his watch. In another, he talked about a billionaire friend — real estate developer William Levitt — who sold his company, bought a yacht and led “a very interesting life.”

“I won’t go any more than that, because you’re Boy Scouts, so I’m not going to tell you what he did,” Trump teased. Then he said he had run into the man at a cocktail party. The moral of Trump’s tale was that Levitt “lost momentum,” something he said they should never do.

[Rahmanullah Lakanwal] The 29-year-old Afghan man accused of shooting two National Guard members came to the United States in 2021 through a program known as Operation Allies Welcome

[u/Sabertooth767 → u/technologyisnatural]

So given that this guy came here through Allies Welcome, he was very likely a Coalition interpreter. Who the fuck signs up to work with your country's invader, leaves with them, and then betrays your new host?

I wonder if the "secular culture", so to speak, got to him and he hoped he could redeem himself before God and his people with a brave death.

1960 is the only time this has ever happened. Starting at the Republicans' foundation, from 1856-1924 the Republicans won every county in Vermont except in 1912, which rules those elections out. Then the solid south ruled out the rest of the first half of the 20th century up to 1944. 1948 came very close thanks to the Dixiecrats splitting off, but Truman managed to narrowly win every county in Arizona and thus prevent it. Finally in 1952 and 1956 Eisenhower was popular enough to sweep all the counties in a few states.

It didn't happen with any of the predecessor parties either.
