And perhaps the most interesting implication in all of this: this international, loosely connected network of secret gentiles are portraying Jews in the best possible light by behaving as caring, humanitarian, antiapartheid peace activists… whereas ‘real’ Jews oppose a ceasefire, support the forced separation between Palestinians and others, and prevent aid from reaching them… I’ll let you draw your own conclusions from that one.

Remember that a core belief of liberalism is that indiscriminate mass murder of an entire population for being insufficiently progressive is not only justified, but that opposing the same is an endorsement of all of the beliefs they imagine their targets to hold. It's why they think "queers for Palestine = chickens for KFC" is some kind of own.

Let us look at a specific example. A claim like “There’s cultural genocide of Uyghurs in Xinjiang” is simply unreal to most Westerners, close to pure gibberish. The words really refer to existing entities and geographies, but Westerners aren’t familiar with them. The actual content of the utterance as it spills out is no more complex or nuanced than “China Bad,” and the elementary mistakes people make when they write out statements of “solidarity” make that much clear. This is not a complaint that these people have not studied China enough — there’s no reason to expect them to study China, and retrospectively I think to some extent it was a mistake to personally have spent so much time trying to teach them. It’s instead an acknowledgment that they are eagerly wielding the accusation like a club, that they are in reality unconcerned with its truth-content, because it serves a social purpose.

So the Trump administration wants to do a Khmer Rouge, but on Medicaid recipients instead of intellectuals?

One of the many contradictions of capitalism: it needs an ever-increasing population to maintain its growth, but it strongly disincentivizes having children for the vast majority of people.

Oh

I think you linked the wrong video.

Nearly 25 years alter, I can hear the title theme in my head just as clearly as when I first booted it up. Sometimes the game was cozy, sometimes silly, sometimes exciting, sometimes creepy, sometimes sad, but it always nailed the atmosphere it was going for at any given moment.

That's the nano-retirement!

Nano-retirements involve taking a one to two day break from work every week.

Pico-retirements involve taking a sixteen hour break from work every day.

Femto-retirements involve taking a thirty to sixty minute break for lunch every day.

Atto-retirements involve taking a five minute break from work to use the restroom every few hours.

I did public outreach for my party today and even though we recently had a discussion about how you shouldn't use overly academic language when having a street conversation, my brain crapped out and when I was trying to explain socialism and the phrase "means of production" came out

Something dystopian about being trapped in a system that runs on mass death but expects you to talk about death like you're a character in a children's cartoon
