Kye

You just look cold now under blue flashing light

[Kye @NightKye]

I loved your moods, I loved the way,
They threatened every single day.
I loved your face, I loved your hair,
Your T-shirts and your evening wear.
As for the world, the job, the war,
I ditched them all to love you more.

Irresponsible journalism not to consider Palestinians might have stolen IDF weapons to shoot their own children with.

[Zo Brown @receipts_lol]

BBC goes with "both sides" and it's just Israel massacring over a thousand Palestinians they keep in cage.

This is the most Israeli story ever. Israelis stole the ice cream brand from two Jewish people and created a pro-genocide Israel ice cream.

[mike ☭ 🇵🇸🔻 @__mike91]

now you know why governments around the world are trying to bring in digital id and social media bans.

why do they think it's a one sided rivalry? it's not a rivalry. a rivalry is what we have with new zealand. america is genuinely just the worst and everyone knows it.

Trust me you don’t hate israel enough.

This is, of course, what the Nazis said about the Jews.

Life is actually really frowned in Israel. It goes against the traditional concept of רֶצַח, which means "to kill"

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

I have never heard of a country invading a neighbor and then calling it unfair that their soldiers died in that invasion. I don’t think any other country ever even thought to make that complaint.

On top of that, Israel now wants to retaliate for its soldiers being killed while invading their neighbor.

This is pure madness. Just leave Lebanon.

It's quite funny that this dude's historic wealth might be the most persuasive blackpilling possible on capitalism, and yet the socialist warriors do not take advantage of the opportunity.

Let me explain. His wealth is fundamentally disconnected from personal merit or direct labor. He is the CEO of three companies and in the C-suite at many others. There is simply no possibility whatsoever that he works the hours expected of such positions and that the little personal labor he dedicates to them represents the the incredible wealth he has extracted from them.

Moreover, there are several, well-documented claims from insiders that they have to handle or buffer his erratic behavior, and that the executives that actually do the work are relieved when he gets hyperfocused on another company and leaves them alone. What work he does when he is hyperfocused consists mostly, according to insiders, as extreme micromanagement. He self-describes himself as a "nano-manager," and his official biographer talks about his hyper-critical "demon mode." There is a pretty reasonable argument to be made that his presence harms these companies, rather than helps them.

This is only boosted by how many expensive, high-profile lawsuits his companies have been embroiled in by his public remarks, nonstop posting, and refusal to abide by financial disclosure deadlines. How he treats his employees and unilaterally fires people without cause also causes employment lawsuits.

Substantively, his companies also benefit from him lying to the market to cause speculation and government subsidies won by quid pro quo behavior that would have, in better times, been considered criminal. Musk causes Tesla and SpaceX to consistently lie about its products, and he is never punished enough to offset the personal benefit he gets from the market or subsidies by such lying.

His wealth is an illusion driven by retail investor enthusiasm based on these lies, market expectations based on his lies and the fact that he has yet to seriously pay for lying, and pay packages approved by boards stacked with flunkies that cannot articulate how he can possibly do enough work as the CEO of three companies and executive of half a dozen others to justify his intensely bloated pay packages. He receives that pay even when his companies are not profitable, which has led to constant shareholder lawsuits.

If there was a poster boy of American Capitalism, it is him. He represents everything wrong with the reality of how the system works, and how lying and anticompetitive behavior is not adequately curbed.

Just finished reading Hemingway’s FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS and I had to stop and take a picture when I got to the famous line about the United States:

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

The magnitude of what just happened may take some time to sink in.

This is the first time Iran has struck Israel after Israel struck another country's territory (that is, not Iran).

This means that the battle lines have been moved.

Iran's deterrence had already been restored in the sense that Israel knew that any strike on it would be responded to.

But now, Iran has proven that it will also respond to Israeli strikes on Lebanon.

This is the first time in decades that a regional power has the means, capacity, and willingness to put hard power against Israeli military maneuvers or aggression against a third party.

His books were readily available to read in USSR. They were studied as any ideologies would be studied.

There is a great story Michael Parenti used to tell about a trip he took to USSR. He was with a bunch of American academics, who had been talking down on the Soviets and the censorship they guessed they had been under.

When one of them asked a Soviet academic which western theorists he’d read, he rattled off a long list, which both Friedman and Hayek were on. The Soviet then asked the American which Soviet theorists he’d been able to read.

And the American couldn’t list a single one.

That story is a perfect encapsulation of how real, effective censorship works. You’re not outright forbidden to read. You are, instead, gaslit into it with billions of dollars worth of propaganda, information marginalization, distortion, and lies.

This is why you still find people today who believe in cartoons, rather than simply opening their eyes and looking at the real world, who retreat into safe abstractions rather than face the cold, hard reality that we are the most propagandized, socially engineered, and brain washed people in history.

Kinda insane that Egypt's "War of Attrition" with Israel got completely memory-holed. A notable aspect of it, per Golda Meir's admission, was that in retaliation to Egypt hitting military targets along the Canal, Israel would then bomb civilian areas in Cairo

[chimera @chimeraxmachina]

What’s it called when two countries merge but only one of the two has its culture and institutions smashed, its people thrown into poverty, and a decades long crusade is waged to convince everyone it was evil in all regards because “unification” doesn’t seem quite accurate

okay one more, because this is funny as fuck

I already thought Elon’s mom constantly defending him on twitter was embarrassing. I didn’t even consider that Elon was the one tweeting as his own mom and defending himself, which is maybe the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen

How is this not blowing up everywhere?
