“I don’t want Jews in positions of elected office and I don’t want Jews having financial ties to the Democratic Party. I don’t like Judaism. If I could wave a magic wand, I would round up Jews and deport them from America. Most Democratic voters agree with me.”
I don’t want to sound like a broken record on this but can you imagine if a top adviser to, and ally of, President Joe Biden had said this? It would be the *only* story in America. For days and weeks on end. Biden and Dem members of Congress would be asked about nothing else by rightly outraged reporters.
So every American political reporter, editor, anchor, executive producer, reading this right now: ask yourself, why aren’t you as outraged when it’s Muslims not Jews, and Trump’s ally not Biden’s?
You have to walk around knowing you are that mf while also remembering that you are nobody who knows nothing. Highest levels of consciousness can simultaneously hold both.
نفسياً اذا قلت للناس عن اهدافك و طموحاتك دماغك يفرز شعور الرضا كأنك فعلياً أنجزت لأنك اخذت اعتراف اجتماعي مبكر وبعدها الحافز الداخلي يضعف لأن عقلك حس إنه وصل جزئيًا ، وهذا يعني انك وقفت عن تحقيق اهدافك ، لذلك التزم الصمت وعود نفسك عليه
please take the risk. worst case scenario: you learn. best case scenario: it changes your whole fucking life. and you very well know, you need that change.
this was 49 years ago... all these racist white kids in this video are 55-75 today. they run the country, run the judicial system, are police chiefs, etc. let that marinate bro.
Your entire life will change the day you realize real confidence is less about knowing you’ll win and more about knowing you’ll bounce back even if you don’t. Real confidence is resilience. Adaptability. Tolerance for uncertainty. Fear loses when you know failure is never final.
I’m in love with this sentence:
“The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”
the “i don’t really do politics” crowd is something i genuinely struggle to understand once you are past a certain age. politics is not a hobby you opt into. it is the system that determines how you live.
The release of the Epstein files feels less like transparency and more like a psychological operation. It overwhelms the most empathetic and intellectually engaged people with outrage and despair, while numbing everyone else into apathy and boredom.

If I say everyone should have access to food, clothing and shelter and your first response is "But..." Then our worldviews are irreconcilable and further engagement is wholly unnecessary.
The end.
One of my favorite quotes is the one from Marcus Aurelius: ‘The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.’
I think it’s always good to remember it.
