The European mind understands it perfectly. This is what imperial decadence looks like: public institutions converted into branded spectacle, civic memory replaced by adrenaline theater, and the People’s House turned into a content backdrop for regime propaganda.
The joke is not that Europe cannot comprehend it. The joke is that America no longer recognizes what it is becoming.
No they won’t. The tech oligarchs are the most useless set of elites imaginable. No set of rich people in American history have been as useless a drain on society as they have
The worst part is him saying the strike on the elementary school in Minab (that killed 168 schoolchildren and teachers) "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines."
The significant spike in funding Hasbara started in March 2026. Israel supporters are plagued with two opposing dynamics: On the one hand, they have funds to push their racist state propaganda; on the other, Israel supporters are experiencing an unprecedented meltdown in real time as they see Israel's reputation crater, hitting new lows with every juncture and poll. The result has been desperate 6th grade level hasbara casting nearly all critics of Israel as a monolith: "Islamist barbarians," "inbreds," "sub-human," "antisemites," and/or "terrorists"--and this is the polite and sophisticated list.
Their delusional supremacy is incapable of fathoming that one can be opposed to Israel based on its actions. If you oppose Israel, there must be something fundamentally wrong with you (along the above lines). Insufferable, really.
We have the receipts right along side those of the Genocide, in print and in 4k. Most importantly, we have the receipts for 80 years of dispossession and ethnic cleansing.

Israel's plans will only deepen its indelible stain on humanity, just like Nazi Germany, except Israel is still supported by many despicable western governments--and some Arab ones. But not the people no more--for now.
South Lebanon’s architectural heritage erased by israel. The 19th century al-Zayyat home, with its arches, hand painted murals, and jasmine trees, stood for over 150 years as part of Tyre’s cultural memory. One of Tyre’s oldest buildings, older the than the zionist entity itself
announce "too dangerous to release" --> get media buzz
announce "working with select partners" --> get media buzz
announce "releasing model" --> get media buzz
stagger the announcements so the press momentum is unbroken before the IPO. The strategy is to salami slice your one-event to create an illusion of multiple events and manufacture a narrative. If you study Bernays, you understand everything about this company.
mythos is such a funny way for anthropic to show how they are not serious: first they say it's too dangerous, then they give it to some companies, now it's just gonna be available as b2b saas as any other model
