who rules over you is usually pretty obvious - they have all the money and power and tell you what to do. the quote assumes that who rules over you is a SECRET, thus smuggling in one of the basic antisemitic premises.
anyway it was actually said by an american neo-nazi, kevin alfred strom, in 1993

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

"Why would an omnibenevolent, omnipotent, and omniscient God allow human evil" has a very simple answer in principle and it is "because human freedom (free will) is a positive good, and allowing free will unfortunately allows for the possibility of evil."

The idea of “two genders defined by X and Y chromosomes” is what Sir Terry would call a “lie to children.” It’s easier and faster to explain that than it is to explain the true beautiful complexity of gender to people without the attention span or mental fortitude to understand it

At the risk of sounding like I'm defending the Tsar's taste in tableware or something - Ben Gvir & Smotrich noose symbol represents *judicial* murder because nooses don't have that connotation in Israel. ‘Lynch’ as borrowed into Modern Hebrew doesn't even get associated with hanging by default.

antizionism isn’t inherently antisemitism but a hell of a lot of antisemites use antizionism as cover and way too many antizionists fall for it over and over again
As much as I want us to guard against characterizing criticism of Israeli policy as inherently antisemitic man it really fucking sucks that there are so many pro-Palestinian voices out there who truly could not spot Good Ole Fashioned Judenhaß if it bit them on the ass
some high school kids in Cali made a human swastika and posted it with a Hitler quote
motherfuckers in the comments are STILL going “criticizing Israel isn’t antisemitic” RIGHT OUT THE GATE
fool this is a goddamned Hitler quote it has nothing to do with Israel
try “noticing” that if you can

see but it’s THEIR guy doing it so it’s fine actually
It’s every conservative fantasy of the government as a vulture institution that robs from the private sector, come to life. He wants a huge chunk of profits he had no role in earning, for no other reason than as a reward for being in charge. If you’re not friendly to him, he’ll tank your enterprise.

One of the most dramatically underreported aspects of Trump 2.0 is his ultra-corrupt direct interventions in business. Handing companies to his friends, taking chunks of private companies for the sake of doing businesses, granting tariff exemptions as favors. He’s crushing the rules-based economy.

not only should the eu not be destroyed it should be strengthened. elon musk wants to be able to buy his way out of regulations and the eu is stopping him
The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.
