i think the mistake with the fafo stuff is fa isn't necessarily segregated from fo. people are doing both, at the same time, and in the wrong order, and often dig their heels in and excrete a shell of garbage rhetoric like so much bacterial mucus whenever weathering a fo.

will this affect her takes, i wonder? probably thought she was safe in musk's corner of the web with her conservative commentary. guess they'll always want more!

side note, i'm more surprised when a fired maga person express trump regret instead of just going off on biden or hunter's laptop or hillary's emails or doing a daily rant about rarer-than-rare trans athletes spooking women in sports all across america while children contract measles.

it’s crazy how fast and casually the republicans are sliding into fascism. who the fuck takes a selfie outside a holding pen, while exploring more of that ‘extrajudicial’ incarceration?

it’s like they saw the worst excesses of abu ghraib and thought ‘let’s do it to street thugs too!’.

no surprises that the current defense sec has history of senior roles at gitmo.

Trump thinks he's on a roll, doing great, getting everything done he wants to get done.
He has no understanding of the consequences.
US borrowing costs are never going to go back to being 1-2% lower than everyone else's, this will calamitous for govt debt, I think its very likely American's won't be able to fix their mortgage rate for 30 years, they'll have to take a floating rate like everyone else - which exacerbates boom and bust economics.
This is going to bite Trump hard in 6-12-24 months, easily before the next election, and permanently set the US economy back.

Equally the jews think they're on a roll, stealing more of Lebanon and Syria, slaughtering the Palestinians by the tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, with impunity, Trump pursuing a McCarthyite purge of 'anti-semitism' on their behalf.
This is going to rebound, there's going to be a multi-generational schism between the jews and the world.
Even US support is already gone, demographics are going to see American support die out entirely along with the boomers.

"A slight majority of Americans (53%) now express a somewhat or very unfavorable opinion of Israel."
Amongst Republicans 18-49 its currently 50:50, once the 50+ Republicans die off America is going to be overwhelmingly unfavourable to Israel - this should be fun to watch.
Not forgetting that the Haredim are on track to sink Israel's economy all by themselves with their excess breeding and lack of interest in productive work.

I am sure the Muslims will manage to commit some terrorist attacks and diminish sympathy among Americans.

But I think you are right about people's perception of Israel. The main proponent of Trump's immigration crackdown is Jewish. Once this whole thing blows over Jewish people are going to be blamed for the immigration stuff, the El Salvador prisons, the colleges getting messed up etc.

It won't be fair to blame all of that on Jewish Americans but there have been a lot of very prominent Jewish social media influencers who sided with Trump.

OK, so on the one hand we have the majority of the Israeli population and global jewry firmly behind Israel's genocide of the Palestinians. I mean, they have been for the last 120 years or so.

On the other we have the occasional individual standout.

I think a lot of the MAGA people are knowingly setting up Israel and the Jews for the blame. MAGA realizes they can deport Muslims and do all other sorts of shitty things under the guide of "combatting antisemitism." Then people will get angry at Jewish people while neo-Nazi MAGA will escape blame.

At the end of all of this Jewish people in America will be diminished and further alienated from other minorities.

One of my coworker's brother is Rabbi. During his podcast he mentioned that historically Jewish people go through cycles of acceptance and banishment. He says it is obviously coming to a point where Jewish people in the U.S. are going to get the banishment treatment. Anti-Semitism online is really blatant now. It has never been like that before.

I can't criticize Jewish influencers and others who see an opportunity to reach out and grab something from the Trump turmoil while they can. I realize my group is part of the same problem.

i don't know how many times i have to point out to you that there are plenty of anti-zionist jewish people.

there are plenty of more or less 'secular' jews in america and western europe, who are liberal first and foremost and more 'ethnically' jewish than anything else.

i'm not going to defend zionists here but you really make their smear campaign and weaponisation of 'anti-semitism' all too easy when you use this "okay there's occasionally one good jew" talk. you sound like a fucking retard from stormfront.

The active and passive zionists are in the majority, plust the ones who don't care either way, the anti-zionist jews are a small minority - hence the majority support for the genocide of the Palestinians.

I don't give the Republicans that much credit, they believe the jews can deliver them power, plus they have their evangelical voter base.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened already after the GFC, Madoff, Weinstein, Epstein etc.

Israel has lost US public opinion.
Wait until everyone wakes up and finds their crypto has evaporated and all their money has gone to Russian and Israeli jews.

effective altruism came out of bespectacled professors at oxford, actually. it's downstream of the 'new atheism' dawkins-type stuff, not jewish globalist conspiracies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_altruism

this is all part and parcel of 'technocratic' and 'rationalist' elites, which invariably shade into libertarianism and/or fascism after taking their standard dose of nietzsche or 'business self-help by seneca' translations. own it. they're your people.

Beginning in the latter half of the 2000s, several communities centered around altruist, rationalist, and futurological concerns started to converge, such as:[7]
  • The evidence-based charity community centered around GiveWell,[8] including Open Philanthropy, which originally came out of GiveWell Labs but then became independent.[9][10]
  • The community around pledging and career selection for effective giving, centered around the Giving What We Can and 80,000 Hours organisations.[11]
  • The Singularity Institute (now MIRI) for studying the safety of artificial intelligence, the Future of Humanity Institute studying topics such as existential risk, and the LessWrong discussion forum, which focuses on rationalism.[12]
this is the ideology that led to SBF committing one of the biggest financial crimes in history. the original tweet was on the mark, pretty much. the 'swot doing a TED talk' to 'ubermenschen ripping off plebs' pipeline is a highly pressurized one.

OK so Oxford is the nexus of evil.

OTOH In order to be properly altruistic you do first have to rob people to become immensely rich.

The drowning child analogy in Singer's essay provoked philosophical debate. In response to a version of Singer's drowning child analogy,[47] philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah in 2006 asked whether the most effective action of a man in an expensive suit, confronted with a drowning child, would not be to save the child and ruin his suit—but rather, sell the suit and donate the proceeds to charity.[48][49] Appiah believed that he "should save the drowning child and ruin my suit".
Nice find - I like how its an either/or argument - taking off the suit isn't an option.

effective altruism is the philosophy being facetiously alluded to in that tweet. it is basically the 'fad philosophy' behind the latest round of tech-bro skullduggery.

it's not 'oxford philosophy', it's a fad partaken in by normies and silicon valley types. it bears as much relation to the actual discipline as boris johnson does to the classics. it's about on an intellectual level with noah harari bestsellers about 'sapiens'. airport literature with a patina of 'i'm smarts!' you know the type.

much like all the strident and arrogant 'new atheism' stuff indulged in by professor richard dawkins was hardly indicative of the state of oxford biology.
