  • I get looking at terrorism as a simple data point and then saying left wing terrorism is on the rise. When there’s more violence then it’s indicative of underlying problems.

    But most of the time the conversation implies people need to clean up their act. Politicians must stop using charged language. People must chill out.

    In that vein, I’m curious how much left wing violence is real. When people are getting shot down for trying to get abortions, getting put on lists…

    That’s like playing half a chord progression.

    But when you fight back, that’s also a terrorism. Hitting the bully is still violence, and can’t we all just chill?? Lmao



  • If groceries cost us $500 per month and our government says it accepted $10 from an anonymous donor to help pay for next months groceries, what does it mean?

    Like what just happened? Did they just make a joke / are they fucking with people?

    Are they only funding their gestapo? Are they strategically activating specific personnel via a check, and ignoring less critical or more motivated soldiers?

    It’s as if someone threw some coins at the crowd just for a chance to talk about how it’s the Democrats who “opted” not to pay them. I wish they more deliberately explored the “it costs billions to pay the military yet the 130 million is gonna do… something” part of the story.








  • Why not just use AI to synthesize a dead cop or two? Anthropic is literally dedicated to creating an AI powered hegemony where AI is used for the “greater good.” They barely have a product and they’re working to empower brutal dictators.

    When was the last time MAGA was presented with evidence and they just went “oh, I was wrong.”? Antifa is going to start murdering 7 fingered cops* and Facebook won’t give a shit.

    *(except fingers aren’t a problem anymore)








  • As an American his very first statement is suspicious. The second statement basically proves he’s too far right. The last statement is naked maga. Obviously these are American shibboleths so it makes sense not to immediately get what he’s about.

    For example, our conservative Democrats (neoliberal subset) are not the ones that are speaking out against the Israeli genocide of Palestine. The “antisemitic” politicians are more leftist. Maybe not left by classic European standards, but left by modern European standards.

    But also, we have a long history of people hating Jews. We had people marching against “Jews replacing white people.” Jewish space lasers! Soros!! People fucking HATE Jews. I won’t even bother saying what party they are attracted to. I’ll leave it as an exercise for the non-American reader.

    But… that’s not being played right now. Our fascists are saving the “anti Jews” card. We hate Mexicans right now. If an American says “antisemitism is on the rise” I’d strongly suspect they are simply pro Israel.
