NEVERTHELESSPIANS: pl.; n.; people who maintain that their argument succeeds "nevertheless" after a factual claim their argument required is revealed to be false.

@soblackandblue @BayAreaNewLibs @xwanyex I definitely think it's debatable. The foreign language newspaper scene in 1920 was off the hook

@BayAreaNewLibs @xwanyex @AliceFromQueens There are different degrees of assimilation. I don't think it's debatable that there is less assimilation of immigrants in 2026 than there was in 1900.

@xwanyex @AliceFromQueens @soblackandblue I understand that people on the right are trying to redefine what assimilation means but that's simply never what it meant. By that definition, almost no population has ever assimilated (which of course is the reason behind the redefinition, but this is a silly semantic game).

Unlike most Jews I have no trouble admitting that I control the world. I'm controlling you right now, b1tch.

@soblackandblue @BayAreaNewLibs @xwanyex I'm confused. I thought this was a discussion of "replacement," of changing the culture of natives to the culture of foreigners. Not a discussion about suspending alternative side of the street parking to accommodate an group the mainstream culture otherwise ignores

@AliceFromQueens @BayAreaNewLibs @xwanyex No. The other way is to make the rest of society accommodate you.

I actually want ppl to think we control the world, but the sad fact is... x.com/MartinShkreli/…

This guy stayed awake 72 hours, struggling to reconcile his core belief that Jews control the world, with the existence of Peter Thiel. On his 23rd snort of Modafinil, it came to him: 🚨🇮🇱 PETER THIEL IS JEWISH 🇮🇱🚨

@xwanyex @BayAreaNewLibs @soblackandblue Is there evidence that European-descended and Indigenous-descended Mexican-Americans vote differently in the United States for generations?

@EwanBen lol no

Quite literally true as well

@BayAreaNewLibs @soblackandblue @xwanyex good point

@AliceFromQueens @soblackandblue @xwanyex Sometimes I think the chuds actually are mad that immigrants largely *do* assimilate quite quickly. If they were less assimilated like the Hasids, right-wing people wouldn't see them at Costco as often.

@HeraclesWife @PpollingNumbers He knows better than anyone since he's going to win the nomination

@PpollingNumbers I gotta agree with ossoff on this one. We need to wait until people start actually running to start polling.

New - 2028 presidential poll 🔵 Harris 34% 🔵 Newsom 12% (-8) 🔵 AOC 11% (+4) 🔵 Buttigieg 10% 🔵 Shapiro 9% 🔵 Kelly 9% Rasmussen #B - LV - 5/20

tl;dr:

@soblackandblue @BayAreaNewLibs @xwanyex I know the community very well.

@AliceFromQueens @BayAreaNewLibs @xwanyex And of course, many Hasidim just don't speak English (or pretend not to), which can cause issues if you ever have to actually spend time in their neighborhoods.

@soblackandblue @BayAreaNewLibs @xwanyex yes self-segregation is the only way to preserve a separate culture

@AliceFromQueens @BayAreaNewLibs @xwanyex 1. Hasidim self segregate from the rest of the society. They don't attend the same schools, they don't shop at the same stores, they don't even consume the same media. 2. When they *do* interact with larger society, it causes well-known clashes with the larger population.

@grok @qikka2888 @kangminlee @RadishHarmers Maybe some of his ancestors, too, who knows.

**Over 2.5 million Indians served in the British Indian Army during World War II.** It was the largest all-volunteer force in history, expanding from about 200,000 in 1939 to over 2.5 million by 1945. These troops fought across North Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia (including against Japan). Sources: Wikipedia (India in WWII / Indian Army during WWII), BBC, NPR, and historical records.

This is my country. You Nazis can get out.

@BrianFendley1 @kangminlee @RadishHarmers x.com/grok/status/20…

@kangminlee @RadishHarmers Actually in WWII an opposition government was formed and aligned themselves with the Axis. They were pretty much ignored as India was British ruled. Ramesh is a douchebag.

@qikka2888 @kangminlee @RadishHarmers @Grok how many Indians served as soldiers for Britain in World War 2?

@kangminlee @RadishHarmers There was indian volenteers in nazi germany army dring ww2. So technically lore accurate indians

@MoodyBlueliner @dilanesper I don't buy it but ofc it's not impossible. She won't have the shield of Democrats afraid to challenge her

@AliceFromQueens @dilanesper My rightoid ass would love for Kamala to be the nominee. That’s a pretty strong argument against her.

Rasmussen has her up 22 points but other polls also give her a double digit lead. I guess it's possible we might be doing this again.

@willchamberlain @mdubowitz @rich_goldberg um

@mdubowitz @rich_goldberg You say all this but the Economist said “ADVANTAGE: IRAN” in all caps so clearly you must be wrong

If you’d told me a few years ago this is where we’d be on Iran, I’d have said you were high: 1. Nuke program set back years. Enrichment and reprocessing gutted, weaponization sites destroyed, Fordow inoperable, Natanz in ruins, a generation of senior nuclear scientists eliminated. 2. Ballistic missile program crippled. Monthly production down from 100 to near zero. Roughly half the regime’s missiles and launchers destroyed. The IRGC Aerospace Force commander who ran the missile enterprise dead. 3. Air defenses devastated. American and Israeli airpower dominating Iranian skies, with strike aircraft operating over the country with near impunity. 4. Full economic warfare. Not just OFAC sanctions anymore, but military pressure layered on top: naval blockade, near-zero oil exports, choked imports, wrecked steel and petrochemical sectors, triple-digit inflation, and a currency that is effectively worthless. 5. Regime decapitation. Khamenei dead. Larijani dead. Hundreds of senior IRGC, intelligence, military, and Basij commanders dead including the IRGC commander-in-chief, the armed forces chief of staff, and the Aerospace Force commander. Mojtaba Khamenei inheriting a hollowed-out regime with no supreme authority and a gutted command structure. 6. The region turning on Tehran. Gulf states shutting down the sanctions-busting, money-laundering, and financial escape routes the regime has relied on for years. No Arab capital willing to throw Iran a lifeline. China and Russia providing limited support. 7. Proxy network shattered. Hezbollah and Hamas heavily degraded. Houthi political leadership taking direct Israeli strikes. The “Axis of Resistance” and “ring of fire” are now more slogans than real threats. 8. Syrian corridor severed. Assad is gone. The new government in Damascus is actively blocking Iranian arms transfers to Hezbollah: arresting smugglers and publicly declaring Syria will no longer serve as a transit corridor for Tehran’s terrorists. The land bridge to the Mediterranean that took decades to build is effectively closed. 9. Lebanon pivoting west. With Hezbollah battered and resupply choked, Israel and Lebanon have opened direct peace talks for the first time since 1983, aimed at a permanent agreement and Hezbollah’s disarmament. Beirut now asserting that the Lebanese armed forces alone are responsible for national defense. This is a direct repudiation of Hezbollah’s “resistance” claim. TBD. 10. Deterrence exposed as a bluff. Four direct attacks on Israel — April 2024, October 2024, June 2025, March 2026 — failed to impose strategic cost and instead triggered heavy retaliation. Iran couldn’t even use Syria as a launchpad. 11.Economy hollowed out from within. Power shortages, water crises, factory shutdowns, pension unrest, and mass protests. Nationwide demonstrations erupted in December 2025 after a year of economic freefall, with bazaaris, oil workers, and truckers, the regime’s traditional support base, joining strikes across all 31 provinces. Running out of oil storage space. Fuel shortages. The worst crisis since 1979. 12. Scientific and technical brain drain. Beyond the nuclear experts, Iran has lost a generation of irreplaceable expertise in missile design, centrifuge engineering, and weapons development. The survivors are harder to recruit and easier to deter. 13. Naval power decimated. The regular navy shattered, IRGC navy taking growing losses as CENTCOM moves to reopen Hormuz. And against all of this: the regime forced to play its Hormuz card at its weakest possible moment when the U.S. has options instead of when we didn’t: namely, Tehran with nuclear-armed ICBMs, 10,000 ballistic missiles, a Chinese- and Russian-built military, hundreds of thousands of attack drones, a fully operational terror network, and hundreds of billions of dollars to harden its economy. That’s the strategic picture. It’s extraordinary. Much more to do but I can’t comprehend how much has been achieved.

@RadishHarmers Novelty racist!

Asian-American MAGA influencer too dumb to understand that "Asians must get the hell out of America" leads to ruin for him about five seconds after for me. You are useful only as a novelty racist. A puppy wearing clothes, a Chipmunks cover record.
