The "American League for a Free Palestine" in 1946 staged a Broadway play raising 💰 for Zionists to fight the British & pressure the US, all necessary bc neither wanted Israel happening ofc. It partnered w the NAACP to make it an integration campaign too.

take the L on this one. It's highly collectivist in the sense that the common good of the in-group and what traditionally binds them together is so important, neither any individual's preferences within it nor anything having to do with anyone in the out-group matters.

When someone gets eaten by a shark, it's completely appropriate to warn people not to go swimming in the same part of the ocean for a while.

Yes, colllectivist for the in group.
And ftr, "Capitalism the merger of corporate and state power" ie "Capitalism is fascist" is just something A Fascist said to avoid admitting what it really is, and then Marxists repeated once Fascism got a bad rep to make capitalism look bad.
@NateSilver538
It's not the social distance I find myself loathe to let go of, it's the *pace* of life, it's the *appreciation* for routine service, and the *understanding* that a lot of how we furiously occupy ourselves is not very essential.

The compulsory uncompensated labor was the point of the slavery, while the pain and death were incidental. Extermination itself was the point of the Holocaust. This isn't the Olympics tho, "unique" doesn't mean "worst" in every way nor that nothing else is also unique

Not on an average Tuesday, but that's why people stress so much over the decision whether to declare "war" -- life as we prefer it changes after that.

I particularly enjoyed when they still knew so very VERY little about anything, they justified their priors with "Don't you like Star Wars and Hunger Games?"

Gawain is canonically among the hottest of the round table and of Arthur's family. Mainly heroic, but kinda evolved into a heel as the Grail quest took over the meta. The pious scribes got salty. (I am not a medievalist, just a fanboy)

Maybe they didn't want to be considered "performative" and desired to let the women present lead the charge / get the press.

1) the aggression of NATO making other countries want to join it, and forcing Russia to invade countries that say they want to join NATO
2) check the hate sites, all the prominent nazis are behind putin
3) sucks to secede when your anti-democratic trad values lose popularity
More and more, I'm convinced that the big policing reform we need is to professionalize the police, through massively increased training requirements and higher education levels.

Mmm. That hits different than you might expect when you live a few blocks from that synagogue that got shot up by either a Nazi or a White Supremacist

How about “Hamilton is ‘aspirational’ neoliberal apologia, a paean to ‘meritocracy,” a valentine to the financial industries, and an admonishment that regular shlubs are in no position to judge giants.” Can it be all those things?

People assume "unique" means "worst," which is subjective and a call to the Atrocity Olympics. But it was noteworthy just how much went into it, in terms of cold clinical premeditation.

"It was somewhere in Rosa Parks' heart almost 11 years later, when she made the decision to stay seated on that bus in Montgomery, and it's here with every woman who chooses to say, 'Me too.' And every man—every man who chooses to LISTEN."
Sounded deliberate & intentional to me.

Those “rare” earth minerals aren’t that hard to find, it just takes constant superpower-caliber state subsidies to build and operate facilities to refine them into usable forms at scale. Stuff we don’t do

he's not scared of attack by nato, he's scared nato will prevent him from keeping his boot down on more and more people's necks nice and hard
As a landlord, it took me until this morning to figure out how April rent is CLEARLY on us. And the earlier tenants know about it, the easier for them to budget & maybe pay it forward.
Everything's closing & hurting. If we're the only ones making bank, we'll wind up in stockades

If you and I were on a work call, and I started ridiculing your personal and family life for stuff that was really well known and already controversial among assholes, it wouldn't be an "honest mistake" and it wouldn't be "cancel culture" that made me an unemployable asshole.

Maybe I'm getting too cynical, but somehow almost every essay I read these days appears to argue as its central thesis, "I really ought to publish something in order to eat and stuff, and this mess should rile people up enough to garner a few clicks and shares."
Some scabs broke & published news how the FBI investigated John Weinstein's work at ALCOSAN, attempting to contextualize it w the old news about scuttled appointments to that board. I put it where it can be read w/o supporting them or any of their links.
@MoiraDonegan
It objectively isn't "that bad." There's no victimization here. There's no cause for trauma, even emotional here. Nobody is worried that Warren has been walking around with repressed pain since that conversation.
We should all enjoy skepticism of claims by high-level politicians
Honored to join

Surely you've noticed the ratio of your tweets about the fundraising, and all the women and PoC Sanders supporters who are complaining that you're erasing them? Does that give you any pause at all?

Only if it's against a people who keep attacking you and vowing to continue attacking you into the future, I think, and if those people are hiding beneath said children who they claim to do this attacking on behalf of. That's been pretty normal for 7,000 years. What would you do?
@ArmandDoma
Something about the US being the "core" of imperialism and capitalism and evil, and if our interests get wrecked badly enough it's like the death star or Sauron's tower blowing up
@Noahpinion
it's becoming more transparent how much they need the race war and the conspiracies for a "Just Work Hard" philosophy to remain appealing, since so many hard working people wind up miserable on the bottom
