"In the end, the United States had no idea how to import Western institutions and attitudes into poor Muslim societies. Yet this does not mean that American power cannot be used decisively for more limited end. The US military is bad at nation-building and social engineering, but as we've seen recently, it is very good at killing people. How far can that get you towards American goals? We are in the process of finding out."

"3. Irrationalism also depends on the cult of action for action’s sake. Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation." From Umberto Eco's article on Ur Fascism

I am seeing a pattern.

So you don't just imagine facts, you also like to imagine that other people are angry when they calmly explain how you are wrong

Healthy

Speak for yourself

What is a fact, then?

I am not taking anything personally, I am arguing based on facts, unlike you, who does not.

Yes, I could easily find a source that contradicts your claim.

I cannot find a source that confirms it.

Meaning: You are wrong.

Is that the reason you make completely incorrect claims without any source to back them up?

You have trouble finding the wheat that confirms your wrong conclusions?

Wrong voters, wrong message: progressives’ autopsy lays bare Kamala Harris failures RootsAction report finds Harris courted moderates instead of working-class Democrats – and Gaza stance did not help

Ok, so Harris, compared to Biden, lost primarily voters without a college degree, young people, and among several minority groups.

Which one of those doesn't like video?

Watching from the outside in:
I think there is a very toxic anti-intellectualism in US culture. There is also, in response to that, a very toxic intellectual snobbery that tries to maintain the affect of 19th century liberal WASPism.

Instead of "let's use all tools available to make people smarter"

I would need a source on that last claim.

If you want to convince 50+x percent of the population to change course, you will ahve to paddle in a few shallow waters.

pro:
You rock around the clock.
con:
You rock around the clock.

Meh, I bet you don't need to turn the Titanic around at all, the ship is unsinkable, full steam ahead

That iceberg doesn't know what's coming for him

"We are also seeing reports of a coyote drawing fake tunnels on cliffs, leading ICE officers to follow road runners - who magically traverse the imaginary tunnel - only to run into the wall and make a boy-oy-oy-oy-ing sound."

Leftist infighting over fictional leftism > leftist infighting over important things

Actually the Federation are Trotskyists who installed a Labor Epistocracy that foregoes the real democratic potential of post-scarcity socialism that Arendtian Luxemburgism would offer.

Critical support to the UFP in the struggle against the Dominion though.

Third person here to confirm they have a point that you missed.

Surprisingly accurate

Cant, I'm married

The Latin, the Old English or the Arabic one?

Te be fair, that was news to anyone who knows her

yes. she investigated the case of why everyone at the new york times hated her and discovered that it was because she was too smart and too brave.

Typical hollywood woke liberals, casting a Supergirl and she's Alcock

That is not a question you're allowed to ask today. People tell you "it's unhygienic", whatever that means, they tell you "I don't have time, dude" or they start insulting you and call you a "smelly piss-boy". Thats how they treat good, hard working people. People who maybe didn't go to college.

If you went to the bathroom lately you might have bumped into someone asking you to wash your hands after a piss.

Now we have all grown up being told to wash our hands after a piss, and as good Americans we have trusted the people who told is to.

But why is that?

Honestly genius to turn angry confusion into his main persona. Propaganda directly targeted at boomers.

It's been a while, is this the "updated to have healthier body types" version?
