@hakan_geijer oh yeah defending that shit is indefensible

But my point still holds, massacring ravers very much did not liberate Palestine

@hakan_geijer sometimes, depending on what you want to do, you accept that compromise, sometimes you don't, but it's always unavoidable

@hakan_geijer i think there the answer is more to accept prefigurative politics less as a moral position than as a fact, the means determine the ends

@inthehands @Adam_Cadmon1 I'm not a tankie but I still think comparing Leopold II to Stalin is really really unfair to Stalin

I do not think we should allow libertarians to distance themselves from Milei, no. It will be their disaster and they should have to own it

I really really hope for the sake of all my Argentinean friends that it won't be as bad as Maduro but I do hope that it spoils an entire ideology the way Maduro did

@babe I can't think of that brand without thinking of this man

@Adam_Cadmon1 RICO the Catholic Church

The inevitable terf/chemtrail dude crossover has happened

@miguelraz_t when the "controversy" section in Wikipedia includes subsections on both "Eugenics" and "COVID-19 Pandemic" you know it's time to buckle up

TIL that "meritocracy" comes from a dystopian novel about a smug, self-congratulating technocratic elite that had convinced itself that it was in power because it deserved to be

@inthehands also that modern wars are much more ideological than they were a thousand years ago, when the conflict was an end in itself, with only a few exceptions, but now there's a whole superstructure attached, but often the superstructure distracts us from what's really going on

@inthehands I feel like it's way easier to understand in situations where we have more distance - if we're reading about medieval wars or whatever, we can understand that the prince who wants a war in one kingdom likes it when there's a prince who wants a war in the kingdom next door

It's only hard for us to understand when we're close to the situation

“Writers have to advocate for themselves like never before. You can't be the hermetic enigmatic Salinger Pynchon type anymore. You have to sell yourself. I taught at Sarah Lawrence recently and the kids were like, ‘How do you become a writer?’ and I was like, ‘Have generational wealth,’” says Cash. “If you don't have rich parents, being a writer is one part talent and two parts networking. Being a writer in 2023 is also being an agent and editor and PR girl.”

The Blair Witch itself? Not scary
Your hiking buddy throwing away the map? Terrifying

Has it come time to admit that the scariest thing about the Blair Witch Project is getting lost in the woods

The Virgin Taylor Swift Bodyguard and the Chad Taylor Swift Updates

A Moms for Liberty chair who previously fought a library for having an adaption of Anne Frank’s diary recently promoted her organization on an antisemitic network that warns viewers about “seditious Jews,” “Jewish tyrants,” and how Jewish people “have forsaken God.” She clearly had a positive effect on network leader Rick Wiles, who told her that he wants to “do everything I can to help you” and said that Moms for Liberty is doing “great work.”
