some of the people taking the position that some of the synagogues being attacked probably deserved it because of alignment with Israel have not thought through the ramifications of their position re: their own alignments

It was a mistake to leave me unsupervised.
Seeing people respond to @sodrock.bsky.socialβs post about this and how Dems fix it with stuff like βtheyβll just fund the MIC like they always doβ or βjust stop the wars, donβt need ammo with no shooting,β and folks do we remember the reaction when Biden in fact stopped a war?
What do we think the odds are that Netanyahu is trying to destroy Israel
Chat is it normal to be doing pre-emptive cope eight months before an election because youβre very mad that your side is going to win
Tammy Duckworth got her fucking legs blown off and I guarantee voters will find a way to view her as a pathetic coward compared to Moneybags McDoucheFace if we run her in 2028.
I don't think this will work. The voters have determined your service literally does not count if you are a Democrat. Kerry getting three purple hearts and Walz retiring after 24 years were seen as proof of cowardice compared to ANG cowboy and cadet bone spurs.
Hong Kong is fine to welcome Andrew Tate to run amok in LKF, but it will bar journalists/human rights defenders and issue bounties on pro-democracy activists living overseas.
Tate's charges include rape, human trafficking, sex with minors, and bodily harm.

A lot of people accused me of making up these folks supporting the regime, but this is why itβs worth talking about. People in Iran see them, too. Imagine struggling to get online during a war and then seeing support for the government that has been torturing your country for 47 years.
This is a war where we should be rooting for the ruin of every political regime involved--MAGA, Bibi, the Ayatollahs, the slaving Gulf kleptokakistocracies.
the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.
Canadians must imitate the successful busting of the Swiss Cheese Union in the 1990s- www.npr.org/transcripts/...
Right-wing Christians and even the NRSC have lined up to mock James Talaricoβs inclusive, open-hearted Christianity.
Some have even called it blasphemy.
But the Christ of the outsider and the poor is a threat to their political power.

the speed with which "israeli" replaced "zionist" as a generic synonym for bad for literally everybody under the age of 25 points in the direction of a pretty bad trend ngl
the goyim thing catching on means we're probably just cooked for at least a decade
this is true but like, i think if you're in zoomer spaces you have definitely seen an uptick in anti-semitism on gen z platforms in my experience
this is another example of what they all learned from the kavanaugh hearings.
when youβre losing, when youβre worried heβs going to throw you under the bus, you have to go totally feral.
you have to embarrass yourself by trying to brute-force a narrative shift from being on defense to on offense.
Itβs like announcing your intent to drive drunk and you donβt care who you kill, running over and killing a man, and then gloating about how totally hammered you were. It doesnβt matter that you didnβt mean to run over Craig Wilson of Lincoln, Minnesota specifically.
It was an an βaccident,β but functionally on purpose because Hegseth literally got rid of the make sure thatβs not a school unit then bragged about it.
If either state lived up to their nominal founding ideals, who they played for would be ideologically relevant but the U.S. government is hostile to liberalism and the PRC are closer to Reagan's McWorld with red paint than Marx's utopia, so I just hope both girls stay safe and have fun careers.
Fun fact: Tim Walz has not gone along with sports betting. Sports betting is illegal in Minnesota, even at tribal casinos.
Tim Walz offering a positive vision of traditional masculinity and being loathed for it was low key one of the most blackpillling events of the past decade plus.
It annoys me deeply that βsquirrel Hitlerβ is a concept which is now burned into my brain. Some concepts should remain unconceived.
so for the record folks this is the sort of shit that gets spread in your circles.

βI feel people should be able to assassinate American citizensβ is basically what this post says
Also, this guy unironically thinks USAID being killed off was a good thing and liberals are cringe for opposing its dismantlement, because it was, somehow, a CIA tool to do regime change or conspire against countries. Thereβs just no reasoning him at this point; he's too far gone.
I mean, haven't you heard? Ukrainians are all evil fascistic demons who are also the USA's puppets, both supreme evil and devoid of any agency. So you can both villainize and patronize them at the same time. How convenient.
Also, guys like Wilson are just genuine mini-Antichrists. And they have become so by letting evils like anti-LGBTQ hatred and raging misogyny take precedence over anything else, and they want to force Christianity to stay that way, even at the cost of destroying it.
Catholics dare put emphasis on a woman at all, at any point, in their theology AND devotions. And since he's both a reactionary Calvinist and a raging misogynist, how dare they? He canβt have that happen on his watch.
one fun thing which Doug Wilson believes is that it is Biblically mandatory -- not optional, but mandatory -- for a Christian society to permit slavery.
