Curtis Yarvin tweets:

"Here’s how the libs got the USG to spend $2T a year on libbery. They greased the road with their OWN MONEY FIRST. That’s where this NGO empire came from. Before WW2 it was all private.

Do you know what it took to raise a mil or so for Doug Mackey? I wasn’t involved. But I saw it"

Then a second tweet from him:

"No. We have only one problem. The problem is: our billionaires are n—ers. 

They may be rich. But they’re n—er rich. The nature and function of their wealth is profoundly negrous.

You can probably name exceptions. I can too. But in every way, the exceptions prove the rule"

Some utter nonsense, really just drivel, the conclusion of which is edgy racism - this is the essence of Curtis Yarvin, the purest distillation of who he is as a person.

Iron Dome Is Not a Defensive System The Iron Dome cannot meaningfully be considered “life-saving” in any value system that recognizes Palestinian humanity.

AOC is also wrong about Iron Dome being "defensive" as opposed to "offensive".

What about her statement don't you understand? She distinguishes between the IDF's purported "offensive" and "defensive" capacities, and supports funding and arming the IDF for the latter, e.g., the Iron Dome.

She supports arming and funding the genocidal IDF. The real solutions are opposing all arms and funding for the IDF and State of Israel more broadly.

You wrote a whole thing explaining that you support funding a genocidal army.

That's what people are reacting to: your substantive political position.

There's no good reason for pyramidal, bureaucratic, "democratic" structures in a 21st century left political movement, just like there is no longer any need for printed membership cards.

Choice is Not Freedom Genuine freedom is not like selecting a dish from a menu.

James Holmes writes about the notion of choice in contemporary liberal democracy:

“Genuine freedom is not like selecting a dish from a menu; instead, it’s more like the ability to create a new dish and perhaps to prepare a whole other menu.”

The Global March to Gaza The Sisi government blocked life-saving aid from reaching starving Palestinians.

Meriem Hadjal recounts her experience of the Global March to Gaza:

“June 12, 2025, was a historic date. More than 4,000 people from around the world gathered in Cairo for an unprecedented act of solidarity with the Palestinian people.”

Donald Trump’s Idolatrous Ideology Trump honors a god made for measure: one of war.

Foucauld Giuliani writes that Trump’s theology:

“[...] resolves to the legitimation of war, deification of force, and sanctification of death; it is a theology of power and violence; a non-Christian and anti-evangelical heresy.”

My kids were never shown either intellectual property by my wife and I. We never taught them these kind of stereotypes.

As a woke father, I can affirm that harmful gender stereotypes are taught to children in kindergarten.

"Spider-Male is for boys, and the Ice Queen is for girls."

"No, boys and girls can like what they want. Don't believe everything you hear at school."

This is kindergarten.

War against a genocidal state, waged for the liberation of civilians, is just.
