@mirandadevine He would join the pile on when the same venom is directed at ordinary American Trump supporters. No sympathy.

[Amagi Adam @AmagiAdam]

@Brad_Setser @BaldingsWorld I think the Trump admin. rightly concluded that most of our “allies” were compromised by China (Canada now mask off). So I know I would be skeptical of any agreement with them no matter what the explicit terms. They needed to find the political motivation.

[Amagi Adam @AmagiAdam]

@Brad_Setser @BaldingsWorld Not sure if this is a strategy or just luck, but EU probably needed to figure out for itself China is a threat. Last year it was US trying compulsion to get “allies” to do what they should have done for themselves.

@Indian_Bronson @L0m3z @dindle_ @bryan_caplan There is a wide range of "ideas that originate from the West." The non-western persons (like Jewish communists who preceded them) gravitate to the anti-western leftist ones. Cuddihy's point (and I agree) is that the fuel for leftism is resentment at the pressure to assimilate.

[Amagi Adam @AmagiAdam]

@Indian_Bronson @L0m3z @dindle_ @bryan_caplan There is a parallel between the lefty browns like Mamdani and Jews that is different from liberal Anglos. The "liberalism" of both browns and Jews comes from the same "Ordeal of Civility" resentment at exclusion. Anglo-libs are totally different. Delusional altruism maybe.

@BarronTNews_ Seriously? Posting Mark Levin videos for any reason except ridicule is an unfollow.

@Steve_Sailer @JBensonWright Also there is the borderline autism of really great golfers that skews male.

[Amagi Adam @AmagiAdam]

@Steve_Sailer @JBensonWright Men's strength/club speed advantage is not just distance. Spin to stop the ball on long shots and advancing and controlling the ball from deep rough are other advantages. If a setup has firm, fast greens and deep rough, I would guess about 1400 yards (100 yds/non-par 3).

@robin_j_brooks …also there is arguably 10 figures of “dedollarization” fluff still in EUR from Liberation Day, Greenland kerfuffle, etc. Oh, and they are about to have a trade war with China that a strong currency won’t help.

[Amagi Adam @AmagiAdam]

@robin_j_brooks Do you think the market is sniffing out that US-EU growth differential is going to widen post Iran? ECB hike will make it worse. Feels like 2008 and 2011 mistakes.

@tleilax___ If you want to keep any credibility, don’t dignify anything this lunatic @marklevinshow says by drawing attention to it. He won’t be happy until US soldiers are dying in house to house combat in Tehran.

I want zero tax dollars spent on Israel. I dislike Israel (or any nation) spending money on American elections. Elected Americans wearing IDF uniforms in Congress is weird and wrong.

Is that not enough? Do I have to also see Israel or Jews as a boogeyman behind every political outcome I dislike? Do I have to have sympathy for violent Muslims?

The evidence for some of the more extreme claims just isn't there for me. And the people who end up obsessed with Israel seem disproportionately low IQ and schizo. Not people I want to coalition with.

@rev_cap @BobEUnlimited @BlacklionCTA If the supply-side growth we’re seeing were going to drive inflation, it would be showing up in wages. 2/2

[Amagi Adam @AmagiAdam]

@rev_cap @BobEUnlimited @BlacklionCTA The composition of the growth matters for inflation. Lower transfers/gdp, smaller federal workforce, fewer immigrants commanding resources — all of these reduce the money-bomb spending that consumes but doesn’t produce. 1/2

@Slatzism @jarvis_best I love that this guy accidentally stumbled into the absurdity at the heart of the whole trans movement and then just covered his eyes.

[Amagi Adam @AmagiAdam]

@avidseries You could write that exact same tweet to a guy who complains his wife wants to hang out with her European tennis instructor. Your premise is deranged.

[Amagi Adam @AmagiAdam]

@BlacklionCTA Dementia sounds like MSNOW. Not a popular view this side of X, but time not on Iran’s side. They are hurting their customers and themselves. The US is least affected besides maybe Russia, and Canada. Best strategy was always blockade and buy time. So pump or no not crazy.

I've been making this point for ages: left-wing anti-Zionists perceive Jews as white. Their arguments against Israel are the same ones they deploy against America: it's an illegitimate white supremacist colonial settler state founded on the crushed skulls of BIPOC.

Spergy right-wing arguments that Jews aren't ACKSHUALLY white do not matter. If a large number of people believe something, that thing becomes reality. If all of your neighbors believe that you're torturing goats in your basement, you have to deal with this regardless of the facts.

Nonwhites have always seen Jews as part of the white "oppressors" they already hate. This is why I am not impressed when Kanye West goes off his meds and rants about the Holocaust. Blacks have viewed Jews as "the worst kind of white people" going back decades. (This is why Bernie Sanders failed to get the black vote in his presidential runs, but nobody is ready for that conversation.)

When I make obvious observations like this, the Retard Right comes in with "LOL UR A ZIONIST KISS THE WALL SUCK THE CIRCUMCISED COCK". I don't particularly care about Israel and I have no time for GRATEST ALL-I talk, but I'm not stupid. The same people gunning for Jews are gunning for me.

When you egg on libtards who want to drive Israel into the sea, you're adding ballast to the same machine that is in the process of steamrollering you for being a white devil and building a Quality Learing Center on top of your remains. There's a very simple friend-enemy distinction to make here and the Retard Right is defined by consistently failing it.

@robin_j_brooks Isn’t this the same effect driving stronger USD on rising oil? It hasn’t been dramatic yet, but demand destruction —> activity destruction. Global USD liabilities get harder to service on lower activity.
