@fearthe_void @mindyisser I was not saying I believe that, I was saying that is how it comes across to everybody who doesn't already agree with you and hears you talking like that
English
@fearthe_void @mindyisser This is simply something that is. It is irrelevant how unfair or wrong it is to have to do language policing bullshit, or whether it makes us feel dirty. The only thing that's relevant is getting the hogs to the right side of the pen and keeping them there
English
@fearthe_void @mindyisser I do not think either group of victims would be terrorists.
When nearly everybody who is not already firmly on your side are dumb hogs who view an organization of those victims as terrorists, it's very counterproductive to explicitly endorse said group in front of the hogs
English
@fearthe_void @mindyisser Prioritizing your own personal sense of moral cleanliness rather than saying whatever the fuck it takes to get a few more people around to the side of opposing genocide (one of the few ways we can individually make a micron of difference) is cartoonishly narcissistic and decadent
English
@Chuck_Finley_92 @mindyisser Regardless, I do not believe it will be stopped by the American public lmao we are fucking cattle. And I’m sure as hell not gonna sell out the people DYING fighting it
English
@Chuck_Finley_92 @mindyisser Do you think Israel is committing a genocide? Yes or no?
English
@fearthe_void @mindyisser Otherwise it's just verbal/textual masturbation, which is loser freak shit
English
@fearthe_void @mindyisser Yes, but Hamas are widely seen as unsympathetic terrorists in the west despite the fact that many people will fairly readily sympathize with armed struggle as a response to what Israel has been doing in Palestine. Calibrate to the target audience, don't preach to the choir!
English
@fearthe_void @mindyisser it is much, much easier to talk people towards a position that's more favorable to the idea of Palestinian armed struggle if you simply never fucking say this particular set of words. Going around saying "I <3 terrorism" is loser shit. *Especially* if you actually do support them
English
I'm sorry but pop science/history/sociology is largely a swamp of vile reactionary horseshit, if you're a leftist who's frothing to discredit one of the tiny number of very well known materialist/progressive pop history books out there, you're a world class idiot
English
It's bizarre because broadly, it argues the exact fucking thing you want the white western airport-book-reading set to internalize: That the technological advancement that powered their societies to global dominance DOESN'T come from any sort of cultural or individual superiority
Foundational White Janissary@White_Janissary
Guns, Germs and Steel is a ludicrously over-hated book. It’s not that bad and the majority of its critics are just obnoxious global south academics reading their own neurotic conclusions into it.
English
@yakyucosmo Seems evident that whatever medical opinion Sasaki got on his injury was essentially "you can't throw your fastball 102mph all the time and stay healthy".
He's basically had to remake his entire approach to pitching, I'm so happy for him to see all that work come together.
English
We saw progress in Roki Sasaki’s arsenal over his last two starts and now we see actual results that follow.
It’s still a different pitcher from the one that dominated NPB, but this will certainly play as he gains more confidence.
Pitch Profiler@pitchprofiler
ROKI SASAKI. TWO DEMON OFFSPEED PITCHES. SEVEN INNINGS. ONE RUN. EIGHT PUNCHIES. NO WALKS!!!!

@lyrasie A right-wing nationalist movement will never by itself liberate an entire nation, because the liberation of the *whole* nation is an end it opposes!
English
@lyrasie And that Hamas’ ambitions don’t even extend to the liberation of all Palestinians from all forms of oppression. Women, who are half of all Palestinians, would still be oppressed, just somewhat less oppressed and by a different group of people.
English
a lot of people on the communist left make the mistake of phrasing anti-natlib politics as a way to frustrate struggle, not elaborate it. i think it's great palestinians are fighting israel! i just want them to go further; why stop at merely *national* liberation?
Woland 🇵🇸@stendhalist
I know this is from like 3 years ago but why are leftcoms so monumentally moronic on Palestine

@MinorityOfOne75 @brmorris I don't see how that can be the case, as far as anyone is aware Dabney died an unrepentant sinner, and spent the whole of his life denying that his all-consuming race hatred was in fact sin.
English
@brmorris Dabney was scum (still will end up in Heaven like everyone else, LOL), but my reading is Warfield didn't agree with him on race or praise him due to this. Gospel Coalition is generally junk, but the stuff about him in their article seems to track AFAIK: thegospelcoalition.org/themelios/arti…
English
The theological world of J Gresham Machen and his followers are particularly guilty on this front.
Confederate Presbyterianism has terrible consequences.
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex
What kind of world are we leaving behind? Unfortunately, it is a world distorted by war and war-like language. This pollution of reason comes from the geopolitical sphere and invades every social relationship. Any simplification that creates enemies must be corrected, especially in universities, through complexity of thought and wise exercise of memory.

@Colovion @smcroasters Guns becoming a culture war totem has been a total disaster for 2nd amendment rights and for the health of shooting culture in the US. Bring back marksmanship and target shooting as a hobby/common outdoor activity
English
@Colovion @smcroasters My guess is that this is the product of an editor who wants views and engagement. None of the many libs I know give a shit about muskets or support banning antique firearms
English
If there is any proof they want ALL of your guns….
….this is it.
The Associated Press@AP
A musket from 1776 can fire a lead ball at a velocity of around 1,000 feet per second. Imagine what that can do to a human body. Yet under federal and most state laws, it’s exempt from gun regulations. Many antique or replica guns aren’t considered firearms and even convicted felons can own them.
