@ericweinstein You know who I see through? When you look in the mirror, do you see a grounded human being? Be honest. I see an man playing dress-up. A lot of people see that, and you know that. And I think you see it—like you’re one step behind the moment—and it haunts you, likely always has.
@Metamagician Israel is an identitarian project at its core—which makes the Left's critique, and the Right's defense, deeply ironic. We should be skeptical of any political structure built on essentialism, whether it's a modern nation-state or a less sophisticated "woke" position.
@Metamagician The irony is incredible. You critique identitarianism for its 'oppressor vs. subjugated' binary, only to cast the Woke Left as the hegemon while claiming a marginalized victim status for your own ideological group. You are performing exactly what you critique.
@Miss_Prinn@jessesingal The issue is the way Israel conceives itself—as an ethnostate. That’s the foundational flaw. Until that is get fix, it will continue to be the disaster it’s been. This seems so obvious, but so many of Israel supporters were raised to look right past it.
@mattyglesias@JerusalemDemsas An older fish greets two young fish: "Morning, boys. How's the water?" Swimming away, one young fish asks the other, "What the hell is water?" — Dalton Grads gonna Dalton Grad.
@sefudeporra171@philippilk Oh wait. Just saw you page. So much macho! Too much, your clearly fucked up. I wonder what made you such a kook? Probably Dad stuff. He either left, or was a weirdo. Sorry that happened to you.
@sefudeporra171@philippilk Hmmm. I think you, like Phillip have never really been around guns, at very least strangers with guns in a big city. I have homie. Earned a living existing in that space, night after night. What I say here is true: guns empower pussys.
@XxRaaven@philippilk Go find a nightclub where everyone is carrying. Tell me, who is the most dangerous, the strong or the weak. No guns degerate society, they give too much power to the morally weak, that makes for a bad society.
@demedidmibrahim@philippilk I can say these words— When our time comes, our time comes. I’ve been in a lot of scary rooms, filled with legit dangerous people(I managed big crazy nightclubs in NYC for 15 years). Pulling out a gun with one already pointed at you is a good way to get shot.
@mcgilcoli@philippilk Clearly, guns can affect power and change things for good and bad. But, I think Philip is the one LARPing here and actually has never been in a room with lots of strangers with guns. It's not the strong that you have to worry about; it's the pussys. Not a good model for society.
@polanskydj Yeah, but Mandani is correct and is articulating what made this country great; it's soothing to hear! The Declaration of Independence is the correct vision!! Diversity is strength, but also requires strength. Xenophobic cowards need to be called out. Weakness isn't virtue.
@Devon_Eriksen_ Dipshit: everyone eating off wall street, making money by just having money is a Taker. That is a fact that you can try and squirm out of—but it's true. It's the rich who are getting the most free spoils in our system.
@Harmony_Holiday Yep. Corn needs to be avoided. It’s a fine line because some of his “relatability” stuff has actually worked (quoting Jadakiss; didn’t feel as contrived). Someone should be fired over this; gross.🤮
