@rcbregman Rutger do you believe it’s reasonable /sustainable that speculative investment in Nvidia is now “worth” more than the economic output of India and its 1.5 billion people?
@CathyYoung63@acoyne ‘Defended Bari in the past’ is fairly disqualifying tbh, and this post serves to normalize an extreme agenda as merely editorial difference of opinion
The planet's most fanatical Israel loyalists now own and control (or are about to) Paramount, CBS, TikTok, Warner Brothers, CNN: all acquired in the last two years by Netanyahu's close friend, Larry Ellison, right as public support for Israel in the US and the west collapses:
It's so effing crazy that this lady was the founder of LADIES FOR BRETT KAVANAUGH, a right wing op to run interference against his accusers, and the @nytimes never once felt the need to mention this in its story.
A Democrat running for office must provide detailed plans on how to fix every issue while a Republican running for office just need to come up with a nickname for their opponent.
@jonfavs@EggerDC Seriously - who gives a shit about what Yglesias thinks at this point? About anything.
Living embodiment of “better things aren’t possible” centrism
@CthulhuClassy@vaelor0 This is the way more accurate angle. Technology is always for military / national security use first, not an abstract epistemological crisis
@josta3000@mehdirhasan State control of industry, albeit for entirely different reasons (socialist common good vs. fascist militarization) is one of the rare instances of true shoehorn theory, but it doesn’t mean you should miss the forest for the trees
@mcsquared34 As much as I’d love to shout this into the world, gotta take it with a massive grain of salt. How exactly is this person assessing industry-wide changes in claims acceptance?
I have huge respect for people with the courage to join the Global Sumud Flotilla.
They put their bodies at risk because they do not believe their lives are more valuable than the lives of Palestinians.
It is shameful that government ministers express indignation for Canadians when they have utterly failed to show it for Palestinians, who have endured untold cruelty for the better part of a century.
But that’s the world we live in, and the bravery of the flotilla participants shows the glaring double standard, and helps build pressure to rein in the rogue state of Israel.
It’s an extreme tactic in response to extreme impunity.
And the goal is to stop the genocide and dismantle Israeli apartheid.
