This seems quite bad for independent artists, actually

The Epstein emails only make Screams Without Words seem even worse in hindsight, because it clearly shows nobody at the New York Times has a problem with rape; they only think it should happen to the right people (teenage girls and Palestinians)

Is this a big-city problem? I have not seen anyone deliberately run a red light in years

But on substance, I disagree with this definition because "making decisions for everyone else" is vague. Does that mean every system that isn't a pure direct democracy is unjust? What degree of democratic input is necessary? How do you prevent manipulation of the public by powerful interests?

It's a massive leap of logic to go from "states under bourgeois control wield state power to protect their interests at all costs" to "therefore, the state is inherently bad and morally corrupt". The implication is that all power corrupts, but this is not necessarily true!

and according to Bakunin, that minority? The Jews

A secret third option: the state is the monopoly on legitimate violence; whether it is "the worst" depends on who is wielding that monopoly (because every society has one)

The thing about Boebert and Greene is that they are dumb, racist, and gullible, but they are part of the small business tyrant class. They do not have the class solidarity of the grand bourgeoisie and will go on their instincts.

A lot of people who think Palestinians shouldn’t fight back are very excited to claim moral superiority here

JB Pritzker could pay this off with the money lost in his couch cushions

I'm glad to see people increasingly saying "generative AI" instead of just "AI"

Does this mean the Epstein files could get released, if the house has to come back in session

Plausible if airlines lobbied behind the scenes. ATC is crumbling, half of flights are delayed or cancelled, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. 🧐

As long as Schumer is in charge, yep

We are approaching weapons-grade levels of cope from liberals

So much for the male loneliness crisis, I am lonely because of deep-seated psychological issues!

I just realized that I don’t know any other leftist men who are single

These are people who simply cannot conceive of the people they see as lesser than them having any kind of moral high ground

The grassroots segments of the moment have been good about pointing out the links between Zionism and domestic fascism, but the NGOs have a lot of reach

The GOP civil war over Israel is revealing that a lot of people who are pro-Palestine, including some activists, are actually just gullible American chauvinists who happened to be right on Palestine because it’s so fucking obvious

People who only realized Zionism was evil in the past two years are really jumping on this opportunity to claim moral superiority over Palestinians because Nerdeen said something dumb, huh

It’s worse than you think. This is his lawyer Rita Glavin who has been paid tens of millions of dollars to smear me and the other women who came forward. She has led his taxpayer funded litigation abuse of us all.

And here she is at the loser party with him.

There’s a song commonly sung in Jewish youth spaces that was written by Rabbi Menachem Creditor (yes that’s his name). It was used by some anti-Zionist Jewish student orgs in late 2023 and I just discovered that that made Creditor absolutely lose his shit for months, lmao

Alex is so dumb and hateful that he can’t imagine that people being displaced by gentrification would want a candidate like Zohran

Or is he just calling them rootless cosmopolitans

So he’s gone from “they’re not really Jewish” to “they’re from Chicago”.

I am 100% convinced that Trump found the JD Vance couch thing funny and brings it up to taunt him

East Germany gets mocked for calling the Berlin Wall the “Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart”, but protecting against West German Nazi infiltration was absolutely one of the purposes

They say that having a romantic or social life as a man in the Bay Area sucks, but from my brief experience this is only a problem if you can’t talk to people without trying to financially benefit from the conversation

I would make such a good himbo, I have insane rizz but am usually clueless
