So, El Fasher looks like one of the worst single event atrocities to happen this century so far, but the evidence has come in such a trickle it seems to only now be getting verified
At least 60,000 murdered in Sudanese city, which resembles ‘a slaughterhouse’

I mean, if you haven’t bothered to keep up with what an awful person Chomsky has been for decades, I guess this might be surprising.
Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

Five years ago, when I told the staff at the Musée de l’Armée that I should be allowed free entry because I’m an EU citizen under 27, the lady replied, “Ha, Bulgaria is a member? Why did we let you people in?”
Now I’m being told that this is socialism. I apologise for my ignorance.

Wheezing imagining on my next holiday to Copenhagen, being greeted with “sure about that fatty?” when I order dessert, because That’s Socialism Apparently.
Still laughing at this. Cannot imagine a more self-discrediting argument for socialism than “under socialism, you should be able to gesture to your crotch, tell a customer to suck it and keep your job”.

Ultimately every statement about immigrants, laudatory or critical, is only as true as it is about people. The UK runs a deficit so *most people* are net beneficiaries just by definition! Our tax system is really lopsided so most people are net beneficiaries!
An underexplored point is that this is also crucial to understanding the pressures around immigration. If the tax take is skewed heavily towards higher earners then it’s much harder for lower earners to be net fiscal contributors, and that includes lower paid migrants.
I understand what marginal tax rates and how they work, but (with apologies for naive point) the fact that someone on a median income only pays this much tax - given the general state of the discourse on this - is surprising to me

The poignant testimonies of Russian soldiers returning from Ukraine
The poignant testimonies of Russian soldiers returning from Ukraine
'My Undesirable Friends: Part I − Last Air in Moscow,' a film by two independent Russian journalists from Novaïa Gazeta, gives voice to 18 soldiers returning from the front. Far from spouting Kremlin propaganda, they express their doubts. In just six months, the documentary has been viewed 1.5 million times in Russia.

I'm unaware of Ru "liberals" saying something normal at any point in time.
"I really have big hopes for Russia," Yulia Navalnaya said in an interview at our #POLITICO28 Gala in Brussels.
"I understand that it’s very difficult moment. It’s very difficult moment for Europe, and, of course, it’s an awful time for Russia."

That being said, I finally played Prey around 2019, and it’s easily one of the best games ever made. Nothing is pushing it out of the 2017 spot.

It really is wild how many US officials and mainstream rag publications have openly been saying “Europe must join us in the great blood‑and‑soil crusade or perish.”
No, I think we’ll take a pass on that. If you insist, go for it--the last countries that tried that were burned to the ground.

What's funny is that most Europeans are ready to “fight for Europe.” In this case, it means battling the vomit ideas coming from Yankland.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
Europe must “persuade younger Europeans that their heritage, culture and way of life — a fundamentally Christian civilization leavened and improved but not erased by the values of the Enlightenment — are worth defending,” our columnist Bret Stephens writes.

In many ways "I support a two-state solution" was just the de facto thought terminating cliche of the bipartisan consensus for the last thirty or so years. Its purpose was to stifle more substantive and direct conversation about the myriad ways in which USG policy impacts the conflict.
See for example a few months ago when the ranking Democrat on the Armed Services Committee said that he does not believe in recognizing the State of Palestine, but that he is still for two states. What exactly will the second state be?
This is, decidedly, a minority. The vast majority of both parties believe in a single state reality which they can obscure via their belief in a hypothetical partition.

One of my favorite quotes, “War is more for the defender than the conqueror, since the outbreak proceeds from the first defense and with it the beginning of war. The conqueror is always peace-loving; he would be very happy to conquer our state peacefully.”
In his typical dialectical Manner, he circles around in book 6 "on defense", chapter 5 and clarifies that defense creates war:
