Perfect policy tbh

The mainstream position is that you are meant to take this perspective very seriously

The "pragmatic" choice for mayor was Andrew Cuomo

I would've used a gatling gun on the Detroit Become Human robots I tell you what

The choice is yours, lib

It's either terrorist (blowing through an intersection without checking your mirrors) or fascist (screaming at the town meeting that they need to put Flock cameras on every corner)

Yes, there are good reasons to be concerned about U.S. military engagement in the Middle East. Long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan left a trail of destruction with little tangible reward. But while a dark history of imperialism has led many on the left to be skeptical of any military action by the West, the legacy of Western non-intervention is also worth consulting. In Rwanda, up to a million people died in 100 days in a genocide in 1994; former President Bill Clinton has since said that failing to intervene early was one of his greatest regrets, and estimated that such intervention might have drastically reduced the death toll. The West watched Cambodia’s killing fields claim well over a million lives, murder which only ended when Vietnam invaded. In a similar contortion of the concept of sovereignty, U.S. officials actually condemned the Vietnamese for cross-border aggression, describing it as a violation of international law.

The Rwanda comparison is obviously absurd on its face but Nadav, do you have any more information on WHY the U.S. didn't support the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia? Was it a principled defense of international law or something way more obvious? Any examples from the last 30 years?

From Forward Opinion | “The outpouring of joy by Iranians worldwide tells us this moment is far more complicated than the chants of those protesting the war would have it,” writes Nadav Ziv, who has an Iranian girlfriend. “American activists castigating the strikes Iranians are celebrating are not standing with the Iranian people. They are standing with the regime that brutalizes them.” Read his essay ►

Singal is a journalist who went to an Ivy League school, which in respectable society you are meant to assume means he's an expert in whatever he says he's an expert in

The only consistencies in his views are a reflexive desire to discipline the left, serving power, and a veneer of technocratic objectivity.

He would've ended up as a LessWrong/FHI guy if his life went slightly differently.

his grift for years has been shuffling from pet policy to pet policy and hitting himself with the men in black neuralyzer every time he becomes a new guy

That's how he went from writing "One Billion Americans" to blogging about the need for a secure border in five years

It's a style of bait now rarely seen. Endangered.

You pit people who think it's tasteless against people who steelman the argument you made so poorly

Apparently this still works ("It's an old code but it checks out" (boomer meme))

There used to be a lot of articles like this:

-terribly written and hamfisted.
-vaguely socially liberal
-bathetic

BUT technically arguable on the merits so people who should know better will come to your defense. "Maybe Resident Evil kind of is about the bomb" they are meant to say

This article is shitty in such a specific 2015 way that it almost makes me nostalgic

I am certainly remembering this

"The Choirs of Angels" from Scivias by Hildegard of Bingen

What are they talking about? The content of the Larry Summers emails could've easily been grounds to fire him regardless of who he was corresponding with.

given the "centre" and "prize cunt" in the original post I'm guessing this person is talking about working the customer service line at Cadbury Eggs or whatever but I'm talking about my country where people are trained to give you the runaround until you give up and literally die

If you're having necessary care withheld from you and being polite isn't working I recommend becoming a problem and seeing if that works.

Calling health insurance companies I have gotten fuck all being polite and have only seen results when I threaten to sue and act like an asshole.

Someone withholding my health insurance is trying to kill me. I don't care if you're a private in that army, I'm treating you like an enemy combatant.

We must stop the Dodgers threepeat at all costs

Listen man you can connect the dots from him to the Getty family to the Nazi Party now or you can figure it out in three years when America finally gets its own Keir Starmer

But *is* religion completely a choice? If you consciously choose a religion to believe in then doesn't that mean you don't really believe it? Can you *choose* what you believe?

real answer has got to be JQA

We should not be so naive as to be suckered in by the "demographics is destiny" talk

These categories are infinitely malleable. Always someone you can fold in or exclude, always some new way to frame it.

Anyone who thinks this will result in a permanent liberal majority should really look at Brazil lol

Someone mentioned Clint Eastwood in this thread and although he is extremely elderly he does count lol

Sheridan feels like he would be almost too liberal for them, or at least too all over the place.

The closest we probably have to an artist who competently articulates current far-right impulses is S. Craig Zahler and he's a niche figure at best.
