No amount of militarist failure will ever deter our political class from viewing them as the Adults In The Room because they're driven by a cult of cruelty. They believe that punitive policies are intrinsically pragmatic even if they're nonsensical and fail over and over again.
"genocide" is not just some litmus test for US party primaries, it is the gravest crime against humanity and one that is supposed to carry legal and criminal consequences for the perpetrators. our commentariat fully knows that, so they seek to trivialize its meaning
It’s amazing how pro-Israel liberals imply with a straight face that everything oppressive and bad about Israel (including West Bank settlements) magically began with Netanyahu coming to power
If you watch the full video, Gavin Newsom is saying that Israel’s settlements in the West Bank specifically could be constituted as apartheid (it definitely is apartheid), but mainland Israel is not necessarily an apartheid state within its 1967 borders. This is why he criticizes Netanyahu for pushing for the West Bank settlements. Newsom’s position is in full accordance with a 2 state solution based on 1967 borders, something many Israeli and Palestinian civilians themselves support. Not sure what he said that’s so wrong.
"If your goal is to learn, you don't seek out only one perspective." I'm curious how many Palestinian speakers DMFI has hosted since its formation six years ago?
What I love so much about this is he’s not just anti-AI, he’s attuned to the fact that most younger people hate it and want nothing to do with it, something I don’t think any of his peers in his age group have articulated
The hate for modern Doom is the most forced discourse ever. I'm convinced all of these people are paid industry plants by Microsoft to justify more corrupt business practices.
Fuck (but censored) ICE and Free Palestine YOU ARE NOT A TEENAGE GIRL ON TIKTOK you are submitting your letter of withdrawal over sexual assault allegations
This is good for like a million reasons: makes food delivery less attractive to consumers, probably stops the insane number of ebikes running red lights, and for the ones who manage to stay employed, they get better compensated for a dangerous job
Brandished a weapon at the police and walked away alive. The RCMP have murdered multiple Indigenous people for less in just the last several years. Odd how they can always safely subdue white suspects but regularly kill people who aren't white. Even on wellness checks.
Man I hate how Canadian liberals talk like we’re all stupid! Anand surely doesn’t expect the public to believe “Violating international law has a statute of limitations” to be an acceptable response to their government’s support for the illegal attacks?
Anand: "Those original attacks [by Israel and the US] looked to be a prima facie violation of international law. But we're in the here and now right now, Evan, and what we have to make sure is that peace is maintained and the Strait of Hormuz is open and freely navigable."
