When a giant actor like Michael Douglas speaks, the entire media landscape trembles.
He’s not the kind of actor who posts a story and deletes it an hour later. He doesn’t write vague tweets that can be interpreted in every direction. Michael Douglas stood in front of cameras and stated plainly: the world has completely lost its moral compass.
Israel, he said, is on the front line of the struggle. Not a struggle over territory. Not a struggle for power. A struggle over the values of the entire Western world—democracy, freedom, human rights. All the things people love to talk about on Twitter but aren’t willing to fight for.
He outright rejected, without hesitation, any attempt to compare the IDF to extremist terrorist organizations. Such a comparison, he said, is an insult to reality. One side fires rockets at civilians and hides behind children. The other side calls civilians before a strike and tells them to leave. Comparing the two isn’t criticism—it’s moral blindness.
And then he said the sentence that summed it all up: a democracy must defend itself with force. Not with posts. Not with statements. With force.
Michael Douglas is not just an actor. He is a proud Jew who isn’t ashamed, doesn’t apologize, and doesn’t bow his head. While all of Hollywood stays silent out of fear, he stands tall.

@AGoldmund Radiohead is placed ahead of the Clash and Arcade Fire ahead of the Cure, Pistols and Sabbath. It's like RS is desperate to prove how irrelevant everyone thinks they are

@JesseBrown how long did it take to come up with that pithy li'l aphorism, little man? IDF soldiers hounded out of restaurants won't bring back the tens of thousands of children they continue to slaughter, but at least diners will be able to keep their food down

12 million people are estimated to have been killed by economic 'shock therapy' in Russia alone.
Russia suffered the worst peacetime economic collapse of a major industrialised nation in history.
The Russian economy nearly halved.
The fall in Russian output was much worse than that caused by the Nazi invasion in the 1940s.
Russian male life expectancy fell by 6.5 years, to 57.6 - back to its mid-1950s level.
The overall fall in life expectancy was on the scale of Vietnam during all-out war in the 1960s.
The suicide and homicide rates doubled.
Real incomes collapsed by 40%.
At the time of the Soviet collapse, one in fifty Russians lived in poverty. By the end of 1998, that surged to nearly one in every five.
Full employment gave way to mass unemployment.
As healthcare funding collapsed by a third and poverty surged, disease such as diphtheria, tuberculosis and syphilis rampaged.
Russia was taken over by oligarchs, gangsters implicated in serious crimes who stole the country's resources.
Murderous conflicts in the former Soviet territory included Chechnya, where potentially hundreds of thousands were killed.
Yeltsin's contempt for democracy was underlined by his bombing of the Russian legislature - and the undemocratic farce of the 1996 election.
Putin came to power after the Russian secret services almost certainly staged apartment bombings which killed hundreds.
The invasion of Ukraine has killed hundreds of thousands of people.
Need I go on? Yes, the collapse of the Soviet Union was one of the great catastrophes of our age.
An alternative would have kept the USSR together (Baltic states aside) on a democratic basis, without ruinous shock therapy.
Notably, a Soviet-wide referendum in March 1991 overwhelmingly voted to keep the Union together (although it was boycotted by six of the fifteen republics - in the Baltic and three small republics).

Hasan Piker: “The fall of the USSR was one of the greatest catastrophes of the 20th century.” This is who Democrats are embracing.

I saw Sunn O))) the other night, but was kinda far back, wearing earplugs. I saw Sleep when they reunited at MDF, right at the gate, and could feel my organs juggling inside of me.
