@MikeNew19512115 I think it’s the ozempic getting to his brain

Like most MAGA Republicans I do not recognize the Trump we are seeing the last few weeks. After the disastrous deal with Iran Trump is now handing Turkey F-35 fighter jets. How much money and influence do these Qatari dollars have over him and his family?

@Realneo101 American Iranians voted for him too. They behave just like overassimilated Jews. There is just something in the air in America on the Left that completely blinds you to terrorists and bad ideas

As an Iranian who lived through political Islam and socialism wrecking my country, it honestly hurts watching the same thing happening in New York under Mamdani. How are New Yorkers not seeing what his policies are doing to this city? Taxes going through the roof, businesses leaving, streets getting more chaotic, and basic services falling apart. I’ve seen this before... it doesn’t end well. New York deserves so much better.

@elonmusk Elon, why don't you donate and build an actual effective organization, like Soros, instead of just constantly whining about it?

Soros is Magneto and his son is Mini Magneto

@mattforney No vision on the Right. Their whole schtick is "pleasant cities are awful and walking sucks" instead of "let's reconquista NYC from the brownoids and blackoids and rule from the skyscrapers our people built"

Nick Fuentes is a repulsive psychopath, but his choice to live in Chicago---where he grew up and where his family still lives---is probably his least objectionable attribute. I'll never understand why the same right-wingers who will complain about liberal transplants ruining states like Virginia, Colorado, and New Hampshire explicitly advocate that right-wingers also become annoying transplants. Forcing people to move around constantly for work is what the Soviet Union did, and it unravels generational roots and splits families apart, preventing the formation of the social capital necessary for prosperity. I'm from New York but I live in Austin now. I moved here for work. I shouldn't HAVE to do that. My parents lived within an hour's distance of their respective families. They were both born in New York, as were their parents. The rootlessness engendered by boomer anarcho-tyranny is the cause of this, because they chose to just flee from wherever it was they lived instead of fighting the nons and libtards who ruined it. Boomers ceded NYC to blackoids and brownoids, then they ceded Hoboken and Yonkers, then they ceded Middletown and Poughkeepsie. Entire states were lost because Sir Boomer bravely ran away to Texas or Florida instead of fighting for what was his. Boomers have even abandoned the pretense that young people should move for "opportunity." That was the origin of Zillow crack shack slop poasting, telling young men they should live in a $20,000 tear-down in Shitsplat, Nebraska and work at Dollar Tree. Meanwhile, they foam at the mouth at the idea of Social Security---boomer socialism---being cut in any way, even though its fate was sealed when boomer hero Ronald Reagan spent all the Social Security money in the eighties. Welfare state for the olds, anarcho-tyranny for the youngs. And they act shocked that young people left and right don't respect them and are just waiting for them to kick off so we can divide up the booty. We saw a preview of what this future might look like two days ago. The voting base of DSA clods like Zohran Mamdani and that Puerto Rican bitch who converted to Islam for the clout may be nons, but its organizers and intellectuals are white millennials and zoomers. They didn't listen to Ben Shapiro/Matt Walsh/Mike Rowe hectoring them about how they should just move to Anustown, Iowa if NYC is too expensive and besides, you shouldn't have majored in underwater basketweaving if you wanted a job (note: liberal arts majors have a higher employment rate than those with "useful" STEM degrees). They voted for Islamosocialists who want to unleash a South Africa on white people. Boomers are Marie Antoinette not realizing she's about to be escorted to the guillotine. Boomers have been in power for so long they've lost all conception of what not being in power looks like. The problem is that graveyard attrition always wins. Boomers won't be fully out of politics until the early 2040s, but they will be defenestrated long before that once the demographic scales no longer tip in their favor. And they're not going to handle it well.

Now we're talking. Put this guy in charge of the @Israel account

@Shoestring_Lab I am still waiting for people who say retarded things like this to tell me what incentive a company has to voluntarily pay 200% more in salary budget than required. Have you ever actually managed a large headcount?

The secret they desperately don't want you (or more importantly, the shareholders) to know is that most of corporate America is filled with adult daycare jobs for women and foreigners and could easily run with 50-80% reductions in staff. So why do we have foreign worker visas at all? The age of radical abundance has been here for awhile, it's just that no one noticed. BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard are using corporate America to shift wealth from one part of the world to another on a scale never seen before. TurboDEI, and if you are shareholder in these companies, you are paying for it.

@ilangoldenberg That’s because America always swoops in and forbids Israel to actually win. It happens over and over and over.

What you often hear from Israelis or even American Jews is: "You don't live in Israel. You don't understand Israeli security concerns." Fair enough. But I've spent my career working on national security. So let's put morality and idealism aside for a moment and ask a simple question: Is Israel's current strategy actually making it safer? The answer is clearly: no. And frankly it hasn’t been for 20 years arguably even much longer. Israel has repeatedly demonstrated extraordinary military superiority over Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Yet after each conflict, it finds itself confronting many of the same threats often in a worse strategic position than before. That's not because the IDF isn't capable. It's because military success alone is not a strategy. Israel's greatest strategic achievements came when military victories created opportunities for diplomacy. Between 1948-1973 the IDF excelled at fighting conventional state-on-state wars and those victories eventually translated into peace with Egypt and Jordan fundamentally transforming Israel's security. Military power mattered, but it was used to achieve a political end state. Today's conflicts are different. Asymmetric wars can't be won through military force alone. The United States learned that in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Israel has experienced it in Lebanon and Gaza. Killing terrorists matters. Replacing them with legitimate political and security alternatives matters even more. And when your strategy results in killing thousands of civilians that doesn’t help you on the battlefield and it turns the world against you. That was one of the biggest strategic failures after October 7. The United States consistently urged Israel to pair military operations with a plan to empower a credible Palestinian alternative to Hamas. Instead, politics prevailed over strategy. Hamas was weakened militarily, but no viable replacement was built. The same pattern is visible in Lebanon. Israel achieved remarkable tactical success in Lebanon in 2024, but two years later rather than turning that into a strategy where it works with a new Lebanese government more willing to take on Hezbollah and with the Lebanese Armed Forces, it is instead drawing itself into a new occupation, like the previous 20 year occupation that ended in failure. And with Iran. Israel demonstrated remarkable capacity to dominate Iranian airspace, take out thousands of missiles heading its way, and kill Iranian leadership. But where is it now that the war is ended. Isolated, while the United States negotiates a deal that Israelis don’t like and that is far weaker than the Iran nuclear agreement negotiated by President Obama in 2015 that Israel fought so hard to undo. None of this means Israel should abandon military strength. Israel should maintain the strongest military in the Middle East. It is useful for deterrence, leverage, and if you do need to fight to defend yourself. But military power cannot be a substitute for strategy. The alternative isn't naïve. It means building credible Palestinian institutions that can replace Hamas (There is a 20 point plan on the table to try to do that), supporting and strengthening the Palestinian Authority while pushing for reform, working with Arab partners, strengthening the Lebanese state against Hezbollah, and pursuing the strongest realistic agreement that constrains Iran while maintaining military deterrence. Ultimately, all of that takes you to what at J Street we call the 23 state solution – Israel at peace with all of its neighbors including the new state of Palestine. Many Israelis will understandably point to Oslo or the Gaza disengagement and say “we have no partner. We have no choice.” Those failures should inform future policy, but the answer isn’t to pursue an approach that Israel has for 25 years and led to the disaster of October 7 and the horrific wars that followed which have come at great cost to Israelis, have isolated Israel internationally, and are turning Americans against the Israeli government and undermining Israel’s most important alliance. Take the withdrawal from Gaza, which was largely unilateral and uncoordinated. Israel did little to build a viable alternative to Hamas – and Netanyahu, once elected, actively strengthened it. The apt analogy is President Obama’s decision to withdraw from Iraq. When that decision helped lead to the rise of ISIS, Obama did not conclude that the only solution was a permanent American reoccupation and a return to 2003. That strategy had already failed. Instead, the United States developed a different strategy – one that relied on local partners, sustainable political arrangements, and much more limited use of U.S. forces. Israel should draw the same lesson. The failure of disengagement does not prove that perpetual occupation is the only option. The 20-point plan, if fully executed with active cooperation from the Israeli government, offers a viable alternative to building a replacement for Hamas. From a purely security perspective, the conclusion is straightforward: what Israel is doing today is not making it safer. Military power remains indispensable, but only if it serves a broader political strategy. Israel has repeatedly shown it can win battles. The challenge now is building a strategy that can turn military power into a more stable peace.

@DenialLaw You are more worked up about your grandmother's cowshed church than Arafat/Nasrallah's perversion of your entire country, you don't see how that is retarded?

@DenialLaw You literally just complained that yahud oppressed your grandparents, what point are you trying to make?

This is why I complain about my grandparents. It’s not complaining! Simon has a delusional belief It has no relationship to reality When i give him examples of reality, and explain how my personal incentives line up, i get told to stop complaining and be grateful the magnanimous yahood have allowed to me eat at sweet green today.

@MaxAbrahms That’s absurd.

The “America First” movement is an Islamist movement let’s just be honest about that.

@0xb____ @HedgeDirty Fancy “high status” office jobs didn’t really exist 100 years ago so I’m not sure that tracks.

@simonsudfeld @HedgeDirty It always *really* meant that. The semantic psyop of middle class = average income was designed in some secret meeting about 100 years ago to instill false class consciousness and prevent a socialist revolution. it worked well

There is a word for this: Aristocracy Very few think this *explicitly* because it is incompatible with their self-image, but implicit in the desired lifestyle aspiration people have today is of being an aristocrat: 'above' working, leisured, with socially-invisible servants

@xwanyex Soft bigotry of low expectations. It’s the same reason they don’t scream when Trump does something they hate but they shriek when an elected communist is slightly less antisemitic than they’d prefer

This is a point I’ve made before in a slightly different way. The average liberal hears that somebody screamed the N-word at a nice black guy in a suit and they feel it way down in their gut. What a fucking despicable thing to do. The type of person who would do that is pure scum, the worst of the Earth. It’s disgusting. The feeling is visceral. Makes them wanna puke. Who could possibly do such a thing? But then they hear a story about a black teenager who stomped on another man’s head until he died and… well they’re not going to condone it, obviously, but the passion, the intensity, the disgust — it’s just not there. And I just think, like, you know, stomping on another man’s head is worse than saying something racist. I think that should be obvious to everybody. And I think the fact that one of these things feels to liberals like an absolute kick in the gut and the other one doesn’t is deranging a lot of their politics.

@shevereshtus @KeithArbitrary1 Agreed. It’s time to dismantle the URJ.

Brad Lander is not a Kapo. He's not even a bad person. In fact, he's trying to be a good Jew. The problem is that he was robbed of an authentic Jewish education. He was raised to believe bagels, Seinfeld, chinese food on the 25th and liberalism are the sum total of Jewishness. He wants to be a good person. He wants to be a good Jew. He wants to make his bubbe and zayde proud. I can guarantee you that he's not sitting around thinking 'How can I betray my people? How can I work against Jews, Torah, and Judaism?' He genuinely is trying to live up to his perception of what being a Jew and Jewishness means. The issue is he was robbed of most of the tools that would have helped him do these things the Jewish way. Don't blame Brad Lander. Blame the American Jewish establishment who decided that funding museums, galas, and Upper East Side cultural events was good enough to ensure Jewish continuity instead of trying to give each and every Jewish child a Jewish education. He's a symptom, not the disease.

@GBNT1952 @KeithArbitrary1 All it would take is Zuck’s thumb on the scale and we can defeat like 80% of it.

Far too few people know and understand what is actually happening… We are being conquered.

@christopherrufo Yeah but cooperating is gay

There is no right-wing equivalent to the Justice Dems or the DSA. The Right is not good at organization, and relies instead on mobilizing its voters through individual personalities and media campaigns. The problem is that, in the long term, a Party will always defeat a Prince.

@PhenomAnon_X @Anc_Aesthetics Allahu Akbar my brother in jihad

@simonsudfeld @Anc_Aesthetics

The right should not take these retards in. You're just finding out now that the Democrats love third world communism? Sorry someone that retarded is not someone we want in our party. Your opportunity to jump ship closed years ago. Not saving you from the leopards.

@PhenomAnon_X @Anc_Aesthetics Go vote for the Muslim Communist then 👍
