Feels increasingly clear to me that — for a lot of people — their justified revulsion about Israeli conduct is combining with a general lack of knowledge about Jews, making them open to increasingly anti-Semitic conspiracy theories

i constantly think about this post

Other countries should be imposing sanctions on our regime for this murder
Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted

This is literally what scholars mean when they speak of the fascist ethos of “blood and soil.” It’s adapted from a European context, but it’s the real deal. We’re in it.
man. if Eric Schmitt's speech to NatCon isn't a sign of the times, i don't know what is

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

we’re not getting hit with the imperial boomerang so much as we built an automatic imperial boomerang-throwing device and loaded thousands and thousands of boomerangs into it

Aziz Ansari didn’t deserve to be cancelled for being a shitty date but he does deserve to be hounded about this for the rest of his career and so does every other hack on this lineup
tim dillon said "The Saudis are paying me enough to perform that I don't care if they have slaves" and that's gross but i think if anyone doing the riyadh comedy festival tries to explain it in any way other than that they're even worse. like that is exactly what it is, at least he'll say it

please do not use goofy ass tiktok euphemisms for serious shit. no I will not read the harrowing story of a woman who unalived her grapist. for the fuck of fuck.
!["America is not a 'universal nation.' ... [American] principles are not abstractions. They are living, breathing things — rooted in a people and embodied in a way of life."
Senator Eric Schmitt got a standing ovation at Nat Con DC for saying America as a nation is the property of a distinct ethnic people.
Americans are a mix of “the most adventurous, the most courageous, the most curious and innovative” of the English, Scotch-Irish, and continental Europeans, who came as settlers and have spent hundreds of years building, fighting, and dying for "a homeland for themselves and their descendants."
"We’re a nation of settlers, explorers, and pioneers — born on the ocean waters that carried the first ships to our shores and forged in the crucible of a wild frontier. Our people tamed a continent, built a civilization from the wilderness, and wrote our nation’s name in history.
"Our ancestors were driven here by destiny, possessed by urgent and fiery conviction, by burning belief, devoted to their cause and their God."
"The Continental Army soldiers dying of frostbite at Valley Forge, Pilgrims struggling to survive in the hard winter soil of Plymouth, pioneers striking out from Missouri for the wild and dangerous frontier, [and] outnumbered Kentucky settlers, repelling wave after wave of Indian war band attacks from behind their stockade walls, would be astonished to hear that they were only fighting for a 'proposition.'
"They believed they were forging a nation — a homeland for themselves and their descendants."
"America, in all its glory, is their gift to us, handed down across the generations.
"It belongs to us. It’s our birthright, our heritage, our destiny.
"If America is everything and everyone, then it is nothing and no one at all."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreif3x7re3lubuj7kzurj3ayotcnq2l46kwb2p5hp2zid2dagzth5nu@jpeg)
