Watching both sides invoke "America", it's clear that America has always been a religious cult masquerading as a nation
It requires its followers to "believe" in it and to pledge allegiance to it
I don't believe in America

He who constructs his 'ladder' from 'chaos' convinces himself that he will rise to dominion over men. Yet he remains blind to the first and most inevitable truth: the maker of chaos is always its primary victim.
The man who finds no value in honouring his obligations or preserving peace, but instead prospers through discord, deception, and perpetual strife, condemns himself to an exhausting and Sisyphean labour. Each day he must ignite a new fire merely to feed the old. He is not the master of crisis, but its prisoner; and no prisoner, however imposing his shadow, can ever be called truly powerful.
The fomenters of strife are, in truth, not architects of power but captives of the very forces they unleash. For once awakened, such forces do not discriminate between ally and enemy, nor between the hand that summoned them and the lives they devour.
Their final humiliation arrives the moment they realise that the weapon they forged to subjugate others has slipped its leash and now possesses a will of its own. In that bitter awakening lies the true poverty of their power—and the beginning of their inevitable downfall.
If I was giving someone over 3 billion dollars a year, and I told them not to do something, and they went ahead and did it anyway, I would simply stop giving them over 3 billion dollars every year.
Good god this is a crazy interview. Listen as Scott Pelley describes how Bari Weiss wanted journalists at CBS to cover the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota. This is why we can’t have oligarchs running our news outlets, this is absolutely devastating.
“A mythomaniac is a clinical and literary term for an extreme pathological liar. It describes someone whose lies are grand, deeply embedded in their identity, and told with complete, unbenched confidence.”
.@Timodc on Trump storming out of his interview with Kristen Welker:
"It's unbelievable, honestly, that the American people could put this fucking ass clown in the White House."
Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview
Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.
Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.
Welker: Do you have evidence?
Trump: All I have to do is look.
Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow
Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.
I worked in Iran for a short time
What a noble people. Hospitable, honest, loyal, welcoming.
I've supervised more Iranian PhD students than I can count. Hard working, intelligent, logical and rational, excellent researchers
I support Iranians
In a perfect world Turkey and Egypt would join Iran imposing a blockade on the haifa port forcing Israel to end the 2+ years genocide and stop the biggest threat to world peace and regional stability.
