They pretty straightforwardly decided to go in on this together, and now that it's turning into a shitshow want people to blame the Jews.

I mean she wasn’t accidentally quoting a nazi. She was specifically quoting a Nazi because she wanted to amplify the specific point the Nazi was making.

The problem with touting that a Nazi agrees with you on something is the reason to do it (charitably) is to persuade more Nazis to agree with you on that specific issue.

Not, like, hyperbolically here in the case of Fuentes. But literally.

I’d prefer to try persuading non-Nazis really.

Understanding this would require an interest in American Jews beyond thinking of them as a weird social club for people who probably like Israel until they prove otherwise. And, well, we can dream.

By what means exactly?

I hate them a lot, but still less than people doing the antisemitism. Apparently I have a lot of capacity for hate now. Which I also hate.

It really sucks! Like a lot! From like every angle!

This action might be less popular in America than the world at large. Which is wild honestly.

FA wants to trial ‘coach’s challenge’ for subjective VAR decisions Governing body in favour of testing similar system used in rugby league and NFL in which onus would be put on coach to ask for review of contentious calls

yessssssss

coach's challenge is the least-worst implementation of video review

it creates a clear structure for limiting review interventions and delays, and redirecting some of the ever-flowing refchat discourse toward coach decisions

It’s not clear to me as a practical matter whether Republican shame posting can really work anymore. But man fuck Platner so much.

Maybe your best post tbh.

Weeping uncontrollable tears of joy at the sheer beauty of not using my manual hack as a work around.

So on the one hand me and brother Claude haven’t been releasing snazzy new pictures recently. On the other hand I automated handling own goals and that’s way more impressive.

I would say you could talk to the extended chud podcasting universe about why this was necessary if you wanted to tho.

My guess is definitely the latter.

This Scott Galloway shit is really fucked up! What the fuck dude!

The response to this from his supporters is, what, “who cares, they’re just going to accuse us of being that no matter what” and it is so important to not give your opponents the ability to accuse you in good faith of the things they would have done in bad faith. That’s a loss for your side.

Platner has incredibly bad judgment, but my primary reason for vocally opposing him is that a guy who used to have an SS tattoo and goes on alt-right podcasts is the absolute worst messenger for opposition to Israel possible. We deserve better than the guy our opponents say we are in bad faith.

They never went ahead and presented that as a causus belli though:

Was the public primed in specific ways? Of course. Obviously that mattered. But had the admin not done the work of lying to build a case then the fact America had experienced 9/11 would not have been enough to make them happy with the war imo.

I mean yes and no. It was notable, even at the time, that the administration itself did not use material support for 9/11 as a reason to go to war in Iraq. It was just heavily implied/sometimes explicitly stated, that failing to prevent Sadam from getting nukes could lead to a similar attack.

a response that tells on itself.

what do you think this person means, calling me a “Zionist” here

I would certainly say it set the preconditions. But that also the processes of going to war in Afghanistan directly in response to 9/11 and in Iraq were notably different.

Why are you offering me this gentle reminder?

The horror of Israel’s atrocities in Gaza has enabled me to convince many of my Boomer Jewish relatives to be more critical of Israel, and not to reflexively assume pro-Palestine activism is antisemitic.

If Platner becomes the leading anti-Israel voice in the Senate, that work disappears overnight.

what this also means is you can just skip the 2002–2003 politics and go right to the 2006 politics: everything is their fault and no one likes it.
