I certainly wouldn't do it myself. Back in the NAFO Fellas heyday on pre-Elon Twitter, the argument was that mutual follows created an active propaganda block in the face of Russian propaganda.

No need here on Bluesky. Joining the big fish school in the small pond doesn't have a redeeming purpose.

it’s probably fine that this meme is one of the top posts on every military Reddit sub right now

The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.

The magic of narcissism. At the highest levels all fog is your fog.

If only we could convince Putin to grow a beard and wear a turban.

ok -- ignoring!

Seems like we picked a fair fight in terms of leadership intelligence.

Attacking all of its neighbors ...? Obviously Iran has not heard of the motto "don't just do something, stand there (in the bunker)."

Is this a test?

we toured Hiroshima in February 2025, right as MAGA 2.0s chaos was reaching a fever pitch, and I’m still incredibly angry about how American voters decided to collectively defile and destroy the once shockingly successful dream of a world at far less risk of nuclear war

This is also why fascism must fail in the long term. (Though "in the long term we are all dead" applies here.) Fascists, also, are human, and need to feel connected to other humans.

As long as the Cathars get their word in also - fair is fair.

My reference unfortunately is Krąpiec .. in Polish (or, well, in latin to some extent :)). I will cast around for suitable English as I think it does exist....

Referring to language - similar to Aquinas's correspondence theory in which "the intellect" is made a middle term to judge truth claims?

How about the sort of essentialism which is the denial of "existential Thomism" - affirmation of Duns Scotus haecceities - a thing "is" its essence (to oversimplify). I do wonder if this sort of essentialism isn't implicit in "the scientific worldview".
