“Besides, what bad, un-conservative things could Democrats do? I mean, are they going to start another forever war in the Middle East? Start socializing industries? Raise the national debt to $40 trillion? Cause abortion rates to rise? Increase the cost of groceries and gas? Pal around with socialists (like Zohran Mamdani)? Suck up to communists (like Chinese President Xi Jinping)? Nominate a bunch of weirdos, drunks and inexperienced hacks to the Cabinet? Pursue self-enrichment? Start building monuments to themselves? Threaten to use the power of government on their opponents?”
I'm not anti-Spanish just anti-Spain. I just think Spain is unnecessary. People of Spanish descent live all over the world and do just fine without Spain. It should be returned to the Jews nakba-ed out in 1492. It's stolen land. I still have my key even.
@benlandautaylor i think the underlying reason behind the copenhagen interpretation of ethics is the same as why people collapse to either maximally moral or avoiding thinking about morality - the idea of being aware of a more ethical thing and not doing it is scary

I can't vouch for the veracity of the events depicted in this sketch, but if Ed Sheeran did indeed blow up a palestinan child with an RPG then his claim not to take sides seems rather disingenuous
And just like that Dems in a minority government have done more to help Palestinians than every western leftist combined in the last 20 years. Really wish leftists would actually do something about the genocide they all keep talking about.
This whole Macklemore situation is so spiritually Palestinian.
Ed Sheeran became one of the biggest musicians in the world by writing good music, he built an audience, and people spend hundreds of dollars to come hear his music.
Macklemore gets invited onto that stage and decides to hijack Ed Sheeran’s concert for his political rally. Ed built the stage and brought the audience, and Macklemore decided he was entitled to commandeer it for his demented cause.
And when Ed Sheeran tells him this is a concert, not a political rally, and he doesn’t want to take sides, he becomes the villain.
This is Palestinianism. You build nothing. You bite the hand that feeds you. You leech onto things other people built and destroy them.
These parasites have hijacked every institution, every cultural event, everything other people built, and feel entitled to selfishly destroy it for their tribal clan politics.
@4xCaliban The steelman is that calling Basil a “survivor” gives the reader the false impression that basil is someone who survived a traumatic, life threatening *experience*.
can’t find my friend’s tweet but she observed two years ago that Trump is the first president who doesn’t believe in American exceptionalism. just another nation-state defined by blood and not ideals, squabbling with its neighbors over particular borders
if your client's husband asks if you've been sleeping with his wife, the *question* itself is a lie. he's really asking "do you want me to get mad at you, and also stop paying for her expensive 'tennis lessons'?"
"no" is a completely truthful answer to that question.
