@FPL_UCF Probably a very naive question but I had 2 banked free transfers, and used both yesterday. If I activate my Wildcard now, will I still have 1 free transfer next GW, or does activating the Wildcard affect the transfers I had banked and subsequently used?

Some of us, who actually care about all human life, regardless of geopolitics, can condemn the Iranian government’s human rights abuses as we did the Israeli government’s genocide. But those of you who didn’t give a damn about the lives of Palestinian women don’t get to now pretend to care about the lives of Iranian women.

Europeans are at previously unforeseen levels of monitoring the situation

David Graeber was right - the 'free market' is an article of faith, not a system sustained by empirical evidence and honest analysis. He was also right that because it produces relative poverty and needs the state, 'free' is a misnomer. But underneath this is a fundamental contradictory logic. While proclaiming the market as the site of freedom, its advocates celebrate its ability to 'discipline' all actors from the individual through the nation to the global economy. The 'free market' decrees that no unprofitable collective activity crucial to our well-being should exist. The 'free market' is the most rigid and grossly demoralising authoritarian power we have ever lived under. https://t.co/9ey80wxr2E

Ursula von der Leyen came into office promising a “green deal”.

She will leave it having co-sponsored a Holocaust, surrendered $750 billion of European funds to the US fossil fuel industry, and agreed to unequal trade terms with the US.

A record of criminality and humiliation.

Before imperialism, Africa wasn't static and unchanging and traditional; its societies were in a CONSTANT state of flux and development, like all societies. It was the colonizers that showed up and said "ok, now and forever, this is what your tribal identity is" and wrote it down

I want to stay upbeat on Europe but it’s getting hard. As Israel tries to collapse the Iranian state risks for Europe are monumental: massive migration, sharo spike in oil, terrorism for a start. What do European leaders do? Applaud like todlers seeing a giraffe for first time

Refresher on the rules for discussing Israeli wars:

Rule 1: Israel is never the aggressor. If Israel attacks someone it's either a response to an aggression that happened in the past, or a preemptive attack to thwart an imminent aggression in the future.

Rule 2: History automatically restarts at the date of the last act of aggression against Israel. If someone attacks Israel it was completely unprovoked, because nothing happened before the attack on Israel.

Rule 3: Anything bad that Israel does is justified by Rule 2. This is true even if it does things that would be considered completely unjustifiable if it were done by a nation like Russia or China.

Rule 4: Israel has a right to defend itself, but nobody else does.

Rule 5: Israel never bombs civilians, it bombs Bad Guys. If shocking numbers of civilians die it's because they were actually Bad Guys, or because Bad Guys killed them, or because a Bad Guy stood too close to them. If none of those reasons apply then it's for some other mysterious reason we are still waiting for the IDF to investigate.

Rule 6: Criticizing anything Israel does means you hate Jewish people. There is no other possible reason for anyone to oppose acts of mass military slaughter besides a seething, obsessive hatred for a small Abrahamic faith.

Rule 7: Nothing Israel does is ever as bad as the hateful criticisms described in Rule 6. Criticisms of Israel's actions are always worse than Israel's actions themselves, because those critics hate Jews and wish to commit another Holocaust. Preventing this must consume 100 percent of our political energy and attention.

Rule 8: Israelis are only ever the victims and never the victimizers. If Israelis kill Iranians, it's because the Iranians hate Jews. If Iranians kill Israelis, it's because the Iranians hate Jews. Israel is an innocent little lamb that just wants to mind its own business in peace.

Rule 9: The fact that Israel is literally always in a state of war with its neighbors and with displaced indigenous populations must be interpreted as proof that Rule 8 is true instead of proof that Rule 8 is ridiculous nonsense.

Rule 10: Muslim lives are much, much less important to us than western lives or Israeli lives. Nobody is allowed to think too hard about why this might be.

Rule 11: The media always tell the truth about Israel and its various conflicts. If you doubt this then you are likely in violation of Rule 6.

Rule 12: Unsubstantiated claims which portray Israel's enemies in a negative light may be reported as factual news stories without any fact checking or qualifications, while extensively evidenced records of Israeli criminality must be reported on with extreme skepticism and doubtful qualifiers like "Hezbollah says" or "according to the Hamas-run health ministry". This is important to do because otherwise you might get accused of being a propagandist.

Rule 13: Israel must continue to exist in its current iteration no matter what it costs or how many people need to die. There is no need to present any logically or morally grounded reasons why this is the case. If you dispute this then you are likely in violation of Rule 6.

Rule 14: The US government has never lied about anything ever, and is always on the right side of every conflict.

Rule 15: Israel is the last bastion of freedom and democracy in the middle east and therefore must be defended, no matter how many journalists it has to assassinate, no matter how many press institutions it needs to shut down, no matter how many protests its supporters need to dismantle, no matter how much free speech it needs to eliminate, no matter how many civil rights its western backers need to erase, and no matter how many elections its lobbyists need to buy.
