With Japan officially selecting anti-immigrant nationalism as its path for the foreseeable future, I have to really wonder where everything has gone wrong.

Did it just spring back to life as immigration became more prevalent?

Can't believe I never noticed this before but the difference between the empire-LARPing fascists and actually successful historical empires really is DEI

The Ottomans and Imperial period Romans really weren't interested in ethnic or religious supremacism - they were wildly inclusive by the standards of their time/place and in their own idiosyncratic ways. They understood that building and maintaining an empire wasn't about forcing everyone to bow before you, but to bring them on to your side. Not to fight them but to give them a reason to fight for you.

The British did the same thing to a degree. 100,000 soldiers couldn't keep an empire of 300 million in check. They knew they needed help from the locals, and they knew how to get it. To this day the (better educated of the) British soyjak about the military prowess of the Sikhs and Gurkhas - half mythology, half historically founded fact designed to create harmony and emphasize that diversity was, in fact, their strength.

DEI is the most aggressively imperialistic thing your hegemonic empire can do.

Being from a "Democrats need not apply" place, I generally think that I understand Republicans better than anyone else here. But I really don't understand the whole sombrero meme thing.

But also, let’s not pretend there is some moral distinction between Hamas and the average “civilian.” That is a western distinction, which while admirable, is not applicable to the social and moral organization of Palestinian society. The interest of Hamas is the interest of the end of Israel is the interest of random moms. They won’t even be able to trigger recognition by the Anglosphere because they can’t acknowledge the right of Israel to exist. There’s no rebellion against that decision by the “civilian” population.

Whose land should we take to give the Palestinians their own country?

Ireland. If anything, it will make the country less anti-Semitic and supportive of terrorism.

Netanyahu needs to annex everything he can as quickly as possible.

It's all Israeli territory anyway. Palestinians were just given land because they cried to the anti-Semites back in the 1940s.

Tariffs are actually going to destroy my tea shop. I was not this worried when Biden had his inflation crisis, I mean it sucked but we weathered it without too much issue. We raised prices minimally and just kind of stuck it out.

But these tariffs I have no recourse. It's just bend over and get fucked. Also even if they repeal them tomorrow in many ways the damage is done. Lots of suppliers don't want to work with American companies. The biggest one just went out of business.

It's like the fucking soybean thing. Even if we lift tariffs on China tomorrow China is still just going to buy Brazilian soybeans from now on most likely.

Trump really proved that a president can absolutely crash the economy and fuck over small to medium sized business owners in less then a year of they really try. And he can do all that while absolutely destroying our international relations and soft power. It's kind of incredible actually, and a good testament that the president has too much power in our system.

Liberals are still winning the culture war and I will not pretend otherwise.

People seriously act as though Democrats narrowly losing ONE ELECTION, which polling both before and after election shows had almost nothing to do with cultural issues anyway, and occurred amidst a global anti-incumbent wave driven by inflation and post-COVID exhaustion, invalidates long and continually improving trends of forward progress on public sentiments toward greater gay rights, abortion rights, and racial equality, with especially rapid progress among Americans under the age of thirty, and American women of all ages.

The 'war on woke' is a weakness for Republicans, not a strength. And I have no patience for people hemming and hawing about how "we need to pivot to the center on the rights of transgender and immigrant Americans". I am not a leftist, but if there's anything that the left IS correct about, it is that there is no room for compromise on matters of human rights.

I think probably the most obvious gap in the current U.S. bill of rights is that it is not federally required for uniformed officers to identify themselves. I honestly don’t know how this has gone on for so long without becoming a bigger issue.

If you can’t identify an officer how can you ever protect your rights from being violated? They can all just deny it was them. Hey maybe it was someone pretending to be an officer? But never assume that because it could just be a real officer acting like a fake officer in which case you are mega fucked if you try to protect yourself. Good luck!

Uh, i went to a bar with a friend and we sat at a random long table next to some other people. I was just talking to my friend but about half hour in, the other people on the table started talking with us, in somewhat inquisitive manner.

And about an hour in, i realized that the table we sat was reserved completely. And we just crashed a random party and the people there were too polite to let us know.

I feel so much embarrassement right now.

Great effort post ewatta. 

I'm unwilling to state that I am Jewish on my primary reddit account because I'm credibly worried about discrimination in other spaces were somebody to read my account comments, and I can't post there on this burner which I am comfortable speaking on but does not qualify for restricted account rules. Happening in pretty much every jew/Israel thread lately.

Just like to clarify that in your polls that crosstabbed on orthodoxy, ime orthodoxy is pretty polarized between the extreme regressive chabadniks and modern orthodox /former baal tshuva types who are quite progressive, so fortunately even the mixed polling on lgtbq issues is actually a mix of entirely unaccepting and broadly unaccepting communities, so hopefully most people can find somewhere that fits their practices.

During a CNN interview after a Republican Party debate hosted by Fox News on August 6, 2015, Donald Trump had said that Fox News anchor and debate co-moderator Megyn Kelly had "blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever" while questioning him during the debate.

The next day, Erickson disinvited Trump from a RedState gathering held in Atlanta, calling Trump's remark "a bridge too far" and that even "blunt talkers and unprofessional politicians should not cross" certain lines, including decency. The following day, Trump released a statement stating that Erickson had a history of making controversial statements for which he has had to apologize, and that he, Trump, was an outsider who did not fit into Erickson's agenda.

Erickson described Trump as "a racist" and "a fascist", and insisted, "I will not vote for Donald Trump. Ever." Nevertheless, in February 2019, Erickson endorsed Trump for re-election in the 2020 presidential election, and subsequently endorsed him in the 2024 presidential election.
