Third time is a charm account

[David Reaboi, Late Republic Nonsense @davereaboi]

Funny to see all the very smart folks who saw through NBC’s reporting on RussiaGate totally convinced the reporting on Israel—from the same reporters, even!—is totally true.

All the “ex-leftists” who the Right embraced during RussiaGate were not defending Donald Trump from bullshit allegations; they were defending Russia and attacking the US government.

Want proof? Look at where they are now.

I can’t believe everyone doesn’t see this, but here we are.

I was thinking about this today and yeah its reached existential criticality.

[David Reaboi, Late Republic Nonsense @davereaboi]

The US will not survive with this media ecosystem. It just won’t. There’s no historical example of a population that’s been made so retarded one day waking up and adding back lost IQ points.

all this talk about aborting disabled kids reminds me of a story from my own life. i guess ive never opened up about it before.

when in my early 20s i had a fling with this girl. call her rachel. rachel was a serious lefty, which meant something then. grew up poor and hard, sharp enough to move up but two feet in the old culture.

one morning out of nowhere she started describing a scenario to me, with some warmth and animation. what would i do, she asked, if she got pregnant and the baby was disabled. like, really disabled. i believe she used the phrase "fucked up beyond hope of living a normal life."

i found this incredibly off-putting. but it was one of those questions that obviously had a correct answer, and i had the presence of mind to deliver it looking her dead in the eye.

"i suppose," i ventured, "i would have to name it rachel."

I’ve been predicting for some time that a significant number of women on the far left are going to end up converting to conservative Islam — it’s the natural endpoint of a whole series of trends on the extreme leftward end of things.

This makes me laugh.

“I smoked crack and slept with prostitutes at a cheap motel. I suffered no financial consequences and my dad pardoned me to get me out of legal trouble.

Do I look like I’m part of the elite oligarch class?”

Yes. That’s exactly what it looks like.

It's important to remember how incompetent the defense establishment is in times like these. Just utter incompetence, careerism, near banal day to day treason.

its cute that people think that 1) the pentagon would love nothing more than to destroy our relationship with israel and 2) that allies do not spy on each other. The amusing part is that i would not be surprised if the pentagon is so compromised by china that this is a psyop.

@cinnabar0x @ElessarVIII @JacobL1994_ @AnimarchyYT i dunno man when you say "they cant afford to be corrupt" that sounds pretty unequivocal.

[Epistemic Trespasser3 @colonialbot3]

@cinnabar0x @ElessarVIII @JacobL1994_ @AnimarchyYT these are only recent cases. we could go back decades. ukraine is just russia with western backing. thats all it is. dont pretend we are defending anything noble there. to the extent that i want them to win it is because i want russia to lose.

[Epistemic Trespasser3 @colonialbot3]

@cinnabar0x @ElessarVIII @JacobL1994_ @AnimarchyYT "they cant afford to be corrupt" is the single dumbest thing ever said about ukraine.

[Epistemic Trespasser3 @colonialbot3]

@AnimarchyYT are you retarded?

[Epistemic Trespasser3 @colonialbot3]

lets play with words. if a "fetus" is not a human being then it cannot have "down syndrome." if you cannot accept that a fetus is a human being, then you cannot even accept that a fetus has down syndrome or will have it, for a new substance cannot come from another, without a medium of change, unless that substance is metaphysically implicit and identical to the prior substance, like water is to steam, in which case you cannot even abort it unless you first admit that you are aborting it because you know it is a human being which possess a constellation of traits known as "down syndrome." in which case, please just be honest about what you are doing.

[Jill Filipovic @JillFilipovic]

90% of people who are told their fetus will have Down syndrome end the pregnancy. Virtually none talk about it. This is common and yet shrouded in shame. I’m not sure piling more shame onto it helps anyone, although I’m sure it makes some people feel morally superior.
