On the other hand: yes, some people might be stupid. And to be completely fair, we all are, just at different times - and, I guess, at different scales.
But the world isn't.
It's important to remember. It's something to remind ourselves and others, and be reminded of, too. Every day.

This is what the Democrats supported when they tried to throw trans people under the bus last year by the way
Trump, on the other hand, *maintains* that ancient monkey hierarchy - by oppressing women (misogynist, rapist, pedophile) and minorities (racist, bigoted). He "keeps them in their place".
This is what conservatives love him for the most: he keeps their tiny little ass backwards world stable. 16/

Alright, here's another thread I didn't expect to write.
It's been an ongoing source of confusion for all of us how white conservatives (incl. ICE) claim to be the oppressed group, and generally display absolutely unhinged levels of hypocrisy.
Now, there are a couple clips I want to show you. 1/

This isn't the thread I wanted to write, that one's still in the works, nor did I expected to feel the compulsion to write it, but here goes.
There's been some buzz with regards to Russia amidst the US/Greenland situation, and I'm not sure Western media are painting the whole picture. 1/

People of Minneapolis are not just protecting each other. They are also protecting people in other states.

There's an opinion circulating that actually makes perfect sense: ICE are much closer to slave patrols than Gestapo. This isn't the "government machine", it's disorganized scum paid by the government for hitting quotas. Makes perfect sense to switch the language correspondingly too.
Pathetic. Even with all their gear, even with all the power (unlawfully) given to them, they're still the same pathetic selves they can't escape. And they're too happy to be tricked to realize they were, even amidst the ruin of their own making.
ICE agents are, simply put, fucking clowns. Some observations from four days on the ground in Minneapolis.

This answer is the most concise way to put what we're currently dealing with, and where it leads. And as for why we've ended up in this situation, and why does it lead where it does, I'll finish the thread discussing this in upcoming weeks.
My recent guest Anna Lembke (bestselling author of Dopamine Nation) turned the interview around on me and asked a question I've been wrestling with for years.

The more news I see, the less safe my opinions become. From Twitter basically becoming a weapon for terrorizing women and girls, to literal scum being given power to kill innocents. It's all the same to me at this point, all is one and the same. I'm just gonna shut up and keep on working.

I can't with this shit.
Four years ago, your agency, under YOUR LEADERSHIP, gave me a paper that says "a threat to international security" because I happened to be a citizen of Russia at the wrong moment.
And now, when your supposed allies literally kidnap a head of a sovereign state, you fold and mumble in fine print.

Recently started to actively resent and even avoid deep intellectual work. Job-related burnout again. I'm spent, I'm drained. I can't do it at the same pace as I used to. If I push myself over the threshold, recovery takes days, and it feels like that threshold is getting lower and lower.

So happy to see the exact same politicians who called me "a threat to international security" because of my passport four years ago (literally I have a paper that says exactly that) with their heads up their asses today

I have spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and our Ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela.
The EU has repeatedly stated that Mr Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. (1/2)

Trump was betting on the AI bubble, and all we had to do was to leave their little circlejerk alone, and let them pass their precious money around like a hot potato to keep the numbers high. Look what we've done. /s

None of it matters for geopolitics though, because it’s been the same shit for like a century already. It just buys the system some more time before it eventually collapses anyway.

Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed - were systems thinkers.
Not even kidding. The scientific vocabulary that describes and explains how systems work was invented only a thousand+ years later, so they did what they could, with what they could - and even partially succeeded.

I'll come back when I have something to say. If ever. Everything has already been said, thousands of times, and none of it is working. Aren't you sick of all this? How long can you stomach just witnessing it every day on your screen? A year more? A decade, or a few maybe? And then what?

Socials are a testament of our incredible collective potential - completely and utterly misplaced. The more time I spend away from them, the clearer it becomes.

And the greatest opportunity in the Land of Opportunities: to pull the ladder behind you.
Stephen Miller is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His great-grandparents inhabited the Pale of Settlement (western Russia where Jews were allowed to live) and escaped Russian pogroms and the Holocaust. All the same racist, xenophobic, ignorant things he is saying were said about his own family.
