So for eg. you can be concerned about antisemitism one minute, utterly indifferent or even hostile to Islamophobia the next, then blithely proclaim yourself to be anti racist. You avoid confronting incompatibility by treating issues as superficially as you can get away with.
If liberalism had actual values it would be able apply them consistently in different contexts. Liberalism seems to be about contingently embracing conflicting ideas by flattening them completely and is ultimately deferent to capital and authority so can eject them at any time.

You can't reason with the sort of mentality demonstrated by people like Yglesias. He clearly believes national interests are limited to boundaries and the planetary eco system really shouldn't be anyone's business, let alone the wellbeing of indigenous ppl, species etc
I see everywhere the right wins, they push for a mix of aggressive war, looting and destroying the public realm, impunity for corruption and war crimes, roasting the planet with hydrocarbons, deforestation, destroying public education, ethnic supremacy and McCarthyist crackdowns.
In Britain, the establishment liberal position is that it’s racist to describe Zionism, a Racist ideology, as racist, and if you say that it is, clearly, racist, then some of the most racist people in the country will accuse you of being a racist.
The coastal elites hate Americana. We know what they really think, and we know why they are so quickly defending Obama’s snobbery. They might think they are “too good” for the Cheesecake Factory, or find the decor to be tacky, but most regular Americans don’t

I think this becomes quite understandable in the context of an international fascist movement that has swept much of the planet in a decade, with horrifying and very extreme consequences for the entire species

The BBC’s Middle East correspondent frames the Israeli elections as Netanyahu against “leftist” and “centrist” figures like Eisenkot, whom she describes as “softly spoken” and “lowkey”.
What she leaves out is that he’s a former general and the architect of the Dahiyeh Doctrine, which calls for disproportionate force and deliberate targeting of civilians and their infrastructure.
In what world is that left wing?
@lowerformofwit o cinismo quando diz que lula foi eleito para seu quarto mandato... como se o maior politico vivo do mundo fosse apenas um presidente latino-americano aspirante a ditador
Replies Blocked, & since the report was debunked & taken apart as an Israeli OP, No response from them or its Media, because Truth Never mattered.
Just the further enforcement of Zionist propaganda in Schools & punishment for anti Israel views, against the wishes of Everyone.
One of Lula’s most important and least well-known achievements is US capacity to sanction it into compliance is limited, because unlike Europe, Brazilians don’t need Visa or Mastercard to make payments.
This is extraordinary detail on how the 250 MP candidates on the Student List were chosen in Serbia. They are now projected to win about 140 of 250 seats. Incredible outbreak of direct, participatory democracy to product a Parliament of doctors, scientists, artists and activists.
