@AdamZivo@RachelMoiselle The user named Loden has closed the thread for replies, so I am addressing this directly: which of Lenin’s works have Western "Leninists" typically read? (There is a *Complete Collected Works* in Russian spanning more than 50 volumes.) Leninists of which specific ideas?
📍Who are the “Palestinians”?
Even their surnames tell the truth:
Masri = Egypt
Akkari = Lebanon
Baghdadi = Iraq
Yamani = Yemen
Afghani = Afghanistan
Boushnak = Bosnia
… and the list goes on.
These names come from tribes and cities all over the Arab world—not from ancient “Palestine.”
History backs this up:
•Roman records mention only Jews in Judea.
•Early Arab historians like Ibn Khaldun wrote the Land of Israel was the exclusive home of the Jewish people.
•Jerusalem isn’t mentioned in the Qur’an even once, but it appears 656 times in the Bible.
The Arabs living in Gaza and the West Bank today have no connection to the Philistines (a Mycenaean people with red hair) and no archaeological, linguistic, or genetic link to an ancient “Palestinian” nation—because there never was one.
Their own history, their own scholars, and their own surnames tell the truth:
They came from somewhere else.

“Those people who now call themselves ‘liberals’ have misappropriated the term because for them it simply means that they’re liberal with other people’s money.”

@edtchirp@jan_murray As I understand it, he is a convicted criminal; moreover, in the eyes of the law, he has a specific biological sex (which he did not change), having altered only his "self-identification." By claiming the protection afforded to a "woman," he ruined a child's life!!!
@KingDavid9y Is it possible to check the movement of funds in these filmmakers' accounts—specifically, the changes occurring while they were working on two films?
"Les réseaux sociaux ont donné le droit de parole à des légions d'imbéciles qui, avant, ne parlaient qu'au bar, après un verre de vin et ne causaient aucun tort à la collectivité. On les faisait taire tout de suite alors qu'aujourd'hui ils ont le même droit de parole qu'un prix Nobel. C'est l'invasion des imbéciles."

@VernaPolitics Sorry, I have two questions: Are you defending a specific individual or the system that creates them? And second: Would you be willing to be treated by him if he were a doctor?
🚨 What if the Big Bang wasn’t the beginning of everything—but the end of something else?
Some theories suggest our universe may be the aftermath of a previous cosmic cycle — meaning the Big Bang could have been an ending before it became our beginning.
Yilin Wang, MIT mathematician and one of the leading minds on the geometry of randomness:
"there is a precise number for how far a shape is from pure chance. Citadel pays $500,000 to people who compute it instead of guessing it."
her field is the mathematics of random curves. flip enough coins and the path they trace is not shapeless. it has a precise geometry, and a number, the Loewner energy, that measures how far a curve sits from pure chance.
a circle scores zero. it is the most natural thing randomness can draw. almost every shape you see on a chart scores near zero too. it is noise wearing a costume.
this is the entire quant problem in one idea. the market draws millions of random curves, and only a vanishing few carry real structure. the edge is a rigorous way to tell the costume from the signal.
Citadel pay $500,000 a year for people who can measure that difference instead of feeling it.
the trader who falls in love with a pattern is admiring a curve that randomness would have drawn anyway.
the shape was never the edge. the odds that randomness did not draw it were.
