Get the feeling that a lot of American leftists are really annoyed (or completely unaware) that South African apartheid was ended at a boring negotiating table and not in a gloriously bloody revolution

My great-grandfather fled from Poland to Palestine; the rest of his family who stayed behind in Poland were all killed. I am not Polish. I am not "from" Poland. I have never been to Poland, and if I went for the first time it wouldn't be going "back"

To preempt more stupid QTs: no, it wasn't all nice and peaceful, but the goal of what violence there was was a negotiated agreement to share power, not to outright violently overthrow the old regime. If that's what you want for I/P too then great, I'm not talking about you

Ignoring the hostages' cause is a huge strategic mistake for the US ceasefire movement, aligning with their families would be one of the best ways to win over skeptics but instead they've ceded the ground entirely to warmongers pushing for the opposite of what the families want

โ€œbelieve in scienceโ€ as a liberal truism is the most dystopian shit ever. the moment science becomes seen as a body of dogma codified by and accessible only to a caste of credentialed technocrats rather than a method/process always constrained by context, it ceases to be science
