@LozzaFox Please, Laurence: go and enlist in the Russian army. They take rapists and serial killers, so they'd *probably* take you.
Seriously, you fighting for Russia on the Ukrainian front line would be the funniest twelve-and-a-half minutes of my entire life! 😆

Postliberal activists, from JD Vance to Patrick Deneen to the most obscure postliberal substacks, often speak as if they have exposed some deep internal contradiction of free market capitalism. It's presented as a fact that somehow makes postliberalism inevitable.
And yet there's no credible evidence of this purported exposition anywhere. There are no economists of any note who find postliberal economic doctrine convincing. There are no books that make this case beyond the postliberal echo chamber (and those that claim to do so, e.g. Deneen's Why Liberalism Failed and Pilkington's Collapse of Global Liberalism, are so comically amateur and incoherent that they even make Marxist economic tracts look intelligible by comparison). Most Postliberal theorists in the academy are either eccentric oddballs who only attract notice as provocateurs, or complete mediocrities with no scholarly records of note. And the samples of writing that they offer in support of their purported exposition of capitalism are often little more than declamatory blog posts and haughty speeches that assume their own conclusions in their premises.
Usually if you make a bold and sweeping claim about the alleged failure and upheaval of the entire world's economic order, you also carry the burden of providing some evidence. Yet I know of no Postliberal who has met that obligation in any way that is remotely convincing outside of those who are already True Believers of their own cause.

Another Fed paper finds Americans paid almost all Trump's 2025 tariffs ("pass-through of realized tariffs into import prices was close to one hundred percent"), AND that local labor market effects were "economically negligible."

"You will not reckon with the post-liberal era by defunding right-wing academic conferences."
True. Also true: Academics and commentators of any political persuasion who earn their living from corrupt foreign governments are always going to be greeted with hoots of derision.

Friendly advice, when a person has moved your direction on an issue and you still malign them for celebrating dead children (?) because they are experiencing a moment of joy…that does not tend attract people to a cause. One man’s opinion.

@Timodc @EmmaVigeland @JesseCannonIRL So fun dancing on the graves of dead Palestinian children like that. Just a bundle of joy, right Tim!?!?!? Let her have her moment; it’s her turn!

It's a matter of record that Iran hired criminals to attack Jews in Australia. It's not fanciful to suspect the same thing is happening here

Food inflation is set to treble, and 45 million are due to be pushed into hunger, as a result of the Iran war.

@yeselson You've rephrased it in terms I don't agree with, we have plenty of examples of countries getting away with brutal behavior with minimal foreign objections — the Israelis aren't wrong to think they are subject to disproportionate scrutiny. But they should deal with reality.

For years, I’ve risked my life exposing the horrors of Russian mercenaries, from mass killings and systematic rape. With your help, I can expand this vital investigation continent-wide and let more victims tell their stories. Donate to my GoFundMe: gofundme.com/f/philip-obaji…

Worth adding that Russia did as a matter of fact intervene for Trump in 2016 and that the evidence is widely known, abundant, and collected in various forms, including a Senate investigation, the Mueller report, multiple intelligence investigations, multiple reportorial investigations in the US and elsewhere, and multiple books. Leaving out that crucial fact allows the reader to miss the way this echoes prior authoritarian "investigate the investigator" moves as well as the fundamentally Orwellian character of this.
