We need a return to patronage of the arts by rich degenerates, not a spiritually lesbian community of resentful bug art critics/gallery owners that define beauty from the ugly coping corners of their soulless blob

@leo_caesaris You seem to be more familiar than me, I'll take your word for it

I wonder why. Lebanese authorities are committing a grave error by adhering to this, and it's sad to see it.
No one needs to explain to them where their real friends are, where they would be able to discuss affairs as equals with other powers. That's in Paris, not anywhere else.

Israel has refused to allow France to be involved in the direct talks between it and Lebanon, which are set to begin next week in Washington, two sources told The @Jerusalem_Post jpost.com/international/…
English
@CuriousFrogius What is at hand here, is mostly an attempt by Gulf, Israelis, and USA to eject France through local partners. mainly the non-Aounist Maronites who do not have a lot of power. Those are looking for any way to gain upper hand.
The result of this is going to be destabilization.
English
I'm not sure those who call France a colonizer talk to France more often, these people tend to be bitter muslims or in more "elite" circles people who actually adopt this Edward Said view of things
Those who talk to france are precisely the Hariri supporters (Part Maronites & Elite Sunnis)
English
@CuriousFrogius It's more than that, you must look past rhetoric. Same that would claim France as a colonizer actually the ones that talk to France the most because they know it is the most reliable partner. As for Hariri, it's a neutered faction, and Rafik Hariri was personal friend of Chirac

@BMeinl A mostly irrelevant country has a mostly irrelevant point about a solution that caters to an exogenous disease permeating the middle east
I love your Strudel, perhaps you should stick to mastering that craft instead

Die Entwaffnung der Hisbollah ist unbedingt notwendig. Dass Israel direkte Friedensgespräche mit dem Libanon aufnehmen will, in deren Mittelpunkt die Entwaffnung der Terrormiliz steht, ist ein ermutigendes Signal. Wir begrüßen diesen Schritt hin zu Dialog und Deeskalation. Nachhaltiger Frieden und Stabilität im Nahen Osten liegen in unser aller Interesse.

@MattWalshBlog @FischerKing64 I remember when chimping was a thing and it worked and we still all stuck together and remained pro trump
English
Some big names have shifted full anti-Trump. Others are full pro-Trump and insist that he can never be criticized and anyone who questions him or expresses any skepticism about anything he does is a traitor to the cause. Fewer and fewer prominent figures on the right are staking out the only actual sane position, which is that Trump is a politician who sometimes we will agree with and sometimes we will not agree with, and our right and responsibility as Americans is to be honest in either case.
Tim Pool@Timcast
two big things in conservative and independent media big accounts have shifted full anti Trump others have shifted to posting viral general content

40 day war
40 fake babies beheaded by Hamas
40 fake Serbian babies taken out of their incubators by Croatians
40 is a mystical number containing tremendous esoteric power

You can argue about whether tweeting like a madman was iNapProPriAtE strategy, but criticizing the decision to NOT escalate, especially if you were already critical of the war, makes you the crazy one, not Trump

Opinion: Continuing to label Turkey as a reliable NATO ally is dangerous, as Ankara’s ambitions erode the very alliance structures that have long sustained Western security. jpost.com/opinion/articl…

No “Right Wing influencer” has ever done more to push men to the right than the collective might of women exactly like this. The panopticon of female teachers and HR ladies with this exact attitude is responsible for 90% of RW radicalisation, and that’s a conservative estimate.
MAZE@mazemoore
While discussing efforts to regulate big tech and social media companies, Newsom's wife says that boys who spend time online end up moving to the right. She calls that dangerous. This time she uses Andrew Tate as the bad guy instead of Jordan Peterson. "The Gov and I, we have three more years. We're trying to institutionalize our values."

I think it's quite possible to have the stomach to deport the millions of illegals and legal immigrants and denaturalize those who took advantage of a broken system while being horrified at the thought of sending an ancient civilization - who have almost no bearing on American life - back to the stone age. We weren't even supposed to be in this war!
It's obviously a negotiating tactic, but if Trump does use nukes, or sends hundreds of thousands to certain death, you can be damn sure the american right wing is dead forever, PR disaster, the dems will win and the demographics will be unfixable.
We are probably going to lose the midterms as a result of this stupid ass war, I would rather see Iran get nukes and 1,000 years of MAGA than Iran nukeless and MAGA dead
English
The reaction to this from the "online right" has been nothing but pathetic.
For 10 years, since I was in HIGHSCHOOL, I have watched and participated in endless posting about "saracens", "bring back the crusades", "retake constantinople" and all sorts of pro-violence rhetoric against muslims and the middle east.
Now we have a president (likely bluffing) who is stating he wants to do that and you people blink. How pathetic. None of you people are serious. None of you are the "strong men" that you pretend to be.
Every leftist is serious, they wouldn't say they want to "liquidate white people" but they will happily go work for NGOs to defraud the country, or work as pro-bono legal clerks to keep repeat offending murderers and rapists out of jail.
Every leftist was serious when they went to go work for the CIA, FBI, and NSA they did the dirty work for Bush, Obama, and Biden against their precious browns as hospitals and weddings were bombed. You know why? Because after that they got to spy on Americans, they got to debank and arrest people for memes.
Leftists do this shit because they are serious, because even if they are opposed to the random inbred browns getting drone striked 7,000 miles away, they know that at the end of it they will still get to weaponize their will, even the smallest most infinitesimal amount of it to enact their worldview on YOU.
None of you people are willing to do that which is why we lose. Even those who will go and say "well Yarvin is right about the hobbits" are hand wringing at the idea of displaying true and real power, and more importantly getting the fuck out of this mess.
But no, you keep posting crusader crosses and Kingdom of Heaven edits while crying about Iran. Meanwhile leftists are going to do everything they can to ruin your life and will do anything at the opprotunity to do so. Including nuking Tehran.

Europe has 4 options:
1.) cut a deal with America
2.) cut a deal with Russia
3.) cut a deal with China
4.) reindustrialize and remilitarize
I don't really care what you decide to do. I love Europe and want it to be strong. But you need to live in reality, know your options.
Vulchan@asc_kritias
@ThomBrady5 When the US president implies he will invade territory controlled by a European state this is *not* antagonization? But it is when some European states opt to say "we will sit this one out" to a Middle Eastern war that has nothing to do with them? Is your account satirical?
English
If the war ends soon, this will be the main reason. The war to protect Israel failed in its main objective.
Shaiel Ben-Ephraim@academic_la
The large number of hits in Israel over the last 24 hours appear to be a result of the extremely low level of Arrow 2 and 3 interceptors. A couple of weeks ago, Israel began to avoid trying to intercept missiles going to open areas. Now it appears they are allowing many missiles to land uninterrupted. The Iranian missiles have outlasted the Israeli and American interceptors.

As much as Americans posture about their supposed “dynamism and innovation” (the world’s biggest corporate circlejerk), I think more should be grateful to Europeans that anyone has any consumer rights in the digital age at all.

The math Italy just handed Netflix is terrifying for every subscription company on Earth. 5.4 million Italian subscribers. Up to €500 per Premium user, €250 per Standard user. Netflix launched in Italy at €11.99/month in 2015 and hiked four times to €19.99 by 2024. The court said every single increase was illegal because the contract never stated a justified reason for any of them. The total refund exposure is somewhere in the hundreds of millions of euros. For a single country with ~2% of Netflix's 325 million global subscribers. Here's what nobody is pricing in: Germany and Spain have already filed identical challenges using the same EU Directive from 1993. Berlin and Cologne courts already ruled that generic price-change clauses are void. Italy just gave every consumer group in Europe a finished legal template. Netflix hiked prices globally on March 26. Six days later, this ruling dropped. The company is now simultaneously raising prices worldwide while a court in its fourth-largest European market ordered it to roll prices back to 2015 levels. The real exposure here isn't Italy. Netflix can absorb hundreds of millions. The real exposure is the legal principle: telling customers "we're raising your price, you can cancel if you don't like it" is not consent under EU law. That logic applies to every subscription service operating in Europe. Every SaaS company. Every streaming platform. Every telecom. The freedom to cancel is not the freedom to agree. That one sentence just repriced the entire European subscription economy.

@TheWorthyHouse @nntaleb has been calling Trump caligula for a while now

I dunno. I'm mostly a Plan Truster. But this is starting to give off strong Caligula vibes.

I wouldn't say so, I'm trying to convey that the motivation to save him stems mostly from a desire to save a brother in arms, and mostly/only to that end, not because it would be risky handing them to the enemy, but because of camaraderie and loyalty
Leo clears this up in his QT which I agree with

@CuriousFrogius @leo_caesaris When you get down to it it’s the same thing

Losing airplanes etc is irrelevant. The political and operational cost of having allowed a high value prisoner and potential hostage far outweighs any of those considerations.
This shows Man is what matters ultimately. An event that probably makes one’s life worth living.
