Only in the US can a presidential contender burnish their credentials by writing a book about losing an election then doing & saying nothing for three years during a time of national crisis, when the opposition desperately lacks leadership.
Two fundamentally different ways of thinking. You’re going to fail—so do whatever. Or: you’re going to fail—so try the best you can, so that the people after you can learn and use that to get even an inch further.
I don't think people understand how close an energy shock really is. We have the Houthis blocking Saudi oil exports, futures market are undeniably being rigged in early hours with large sells into low volume supressing actual price discovery, and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is running on fumes.
When you're staring at $10 a gallon at the pump, or being forced into travel restrictions, just remember: we traded the entire economy for a strait that was already open and nuke that didn't exist.
Hope it felt good.
all this viewpoint diversity in academia bullshit is really tiresome when you consider the fact that conservative 'intellectuals' have benefitted from a half century long affirmative action program called 'billionaire-funded think tanks' lol
Oh fuck you. FUCK you. You don't get to do this now. You don't get to turn around and go "Oopsie poopsie, we made a mistake!" This was YOUR genocide, motherfuckers. YOURS. You chose it. You own it. Forever. The stench of the rotting corpses in Gaza will follow you for all time.
The conservative consensus is that education itself is "gay" and "retarded" but liberals insist on pretending these are mature intellectuals with real ideas worth discussing
Conservatives don't even bother having an intellectual facade anymore, they made Trump their standard bearer. The last vaguely intellectual conservative president was over 30 years ago and he's sandwiched between his dimwit son playing cowboy and a hollywood bimbo with alzheimers
Who should we be more afraid of: murderous, child-eating pedophiles, who are currently consigning billions to death because letting any society on earth address climate change would undermine their power? Or some 19-year-olds who are clumsily trying to address said pedophiles?
Just a note that, by this point, the most conservative estimate for people killed in the Gaza genocide (around 70.3k) is higher than the largest estimates for the Rohingya genocide (around 43k), Yazidi genocide (5k), and the Bosnian genocide (60k). It’s at about the same level as the East Timor genocide (85.3k) and Italy’s genocide of Libyans (83k). If we go by the most maximal number given for deaths, 335.5k (as stated in an article by Devi Sridhar in The Lancet), the Gaza genocide outnumbers the deaths in Stalin’s Great Purge (about 248k), the killing of Assyrians by the Ottomans (200k), the Herero and Nama genocide (110k), Isaaq genocide (200k), Saddam’s campaign against the Kurds (182k), Maya genocide (166k), Tamil genocide in Sri Lanka (253.8k), and killing of Serbs in WWII (around 248k). At that point, you’re in the territory of the Rwandan genocide, Bangladesh genocide, Darfur genocide, and the Armenian genocide
Biggest thing DSA needs to be doing right now is staying squeaky clean on the financials, when orgs get hit its almost always over violations of tax exempt status or campaign spending laws. Be nice to your local treasurer they have alot of work on their hands :)
