Somehow. People think these computers produce pollution.

Wow. I didn’t know they were caring for bombs in hospitals. Hamas is evil

تلخيص لما جرى خلال السنوات الثلاث الأخيرة - تكرار سردية الظلم لا يجعلها حقيقة.

Yeah, and I wonder who owns the debt??? God forbid America control inflation by enriching its citizens.

[Willem Middelkoop @wmiddelkoop]

Many ‘rich countries’ are at risk of going broke …

"Waah waah you turned my post communist shithole into one of the most prosperous parts of Europe I am going to vote for Hitler again now waah waah"

@Aleksander67140 @Opkeda1 Monkey Obama saved the economy actually

[bergen 🇧🇼 @bergenthelibrul]

@Opkeda1 This is actually a fact. Little hated the British; everyone hates China. And for good reason

[bergen 🇧🇼 @bergenthelibrul]

I will never understand China apologists. Ever. Ever.

[Mikita 👨‍💻 @mikitaposts]

I actually think we have too many countries in the world and some should consolidate together into bigger ones

[bergen 🇧🇼 @bergenthelibrul]

What are we genuinely doing in the government bro. We are fried

[FactPost @factpostnews]

Tommy Tuberville: Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. It's terrifying.

@BananaDispensr poop is preferable to water

[guardsman basil gaming @LasgunSunflower]

Actually I don't support Africa for Africans or Asia for Asians, either. If a white dude wanted to move to Africa just because he wanted to live there then he ought to have a right to, just as Africans ought to have a right to move to Europe.

@AlastairGrayson @yourstruly_98 Goodism, so the company that makes bad ideas will eventually get weeded out and made way for one with better ideas and management

@ShepGoesBlep It’s crazy how this won though

[The Stanford Review @StanfordReview]

The student spoke to the Review stating, "Seeing my identity changed and being left out of the picture made me feel, in a way, silenced and erased from a representation that was supposed to include me."

[Gunther Fehlinger-Jahn @GunterFehlinger]

I mourn every innocent child killed in war — German, Japanese, Serbian, Palestinian. Their deaths were tragedies. I will never celebrate them.
But I will not rewrite history because war is terrible.
Nazi Germany had to be defeated. Imperial Japan had to be defeated. Milošević had to be stopped in Kosovo. Hamas had to be defeated.
I stand by the use of military force in those wars. I refuse the argument that civilian casualties automatically turn the aggressor, dictatorship or terrorist organization into the victim and those fighting them into the villain.
EVERY BOMB WAS JUSTIFIED TO DEFEAT EVIL is my defiant political message about those campaigns — not a celebration of civilian death and not a legal judgment on every individual strike.
I am sorry for every innocent life lost.
I am not sorry that tyranny was fought.
I am not sorry that genocide was confronted.
I am not sorry that terrorism was confronted.
Peace without the courage to fight evil is surrender.

Dear Mexican communist. I wish you a border with Russia. Within months, you will start worshipping the Americans.

[Cassie Pritchard @hecubian_devil]

In both cases, the Left succumbed to a politics of resentful abandonment: “these institutions are bad and I have no answers except Less Of Them.”

Of course not only abolish/defund police, but abolish SATs, abolish requirements, abolish phonics, abolish charters, etc etc. (notably, we didn’t achieve much of this in either crime or education, but it did sap the energy for any kind of competent reform agenda).

In both cases we looked at institutions that kept showing us racial inequality in outcomes and said “fuck it, just get rid of any part of it that shows disparate outcomes” instead of “how do we *fix* these disparate outcomes?”

Raise test scores for Black students? No, just get rid of the tests! Reduce the amount of crime in Black neighborhoods? No, just stop arresting people! (Again, the latter didn’t really happen, but it was our answer—that we also failed to implement).

It’s simultaneously radical—tear down the institutions!—and remarkably unambitious. We felt that rooting out racism from our institutions was so impossible that the best we could offer was abdication. Simply abandon the field; the state could not provide equal services with equal outcomes, and providing nothing at all was better than providing inequality.

Some in the center or the right will also say there was a kind of “soft bigotry of low expectations” going on—a disbelief in, for example, the ability of Black children to perform well academically—but outside of a few outliers I don’t think this was the case.

I think the Left’s conclusion was much more that these institutions are so fundamentally corrupted by racism that they can’t be salvaged; the best we can do is diminish their ability to enforce any kind of outcome. Simply pass every student, admit whomever to college, etc etc. Just give up.

As it turns out, people quite dislike this—especially those people, like Nikole Hannah-Jones’ daughter, who were supposed to benefit from this abdication. It turns out people want an imperfect system over nothing, and they dislike when your answer to help them improve the imperfect system is a very angry version of “just give up.”
