Dude. I am just proud of your trip. Thank you. It should open up EVERYONE'S eyes. Just...Thank you. Yes, America. I don't care if you are Repbulican or Democrat. That fucking country just detain one of our congressmen and LAUGHED ABOUT IT!!! And our bought off government did NOTHING ABOUTT IT!!! Like... If you are not up in Arms and are getting ready to elect the same piece of shit you elected last year? Dot coplain when your pay check goes down again....

Instead of calling for the arrest of violent settlers & IDF soldier who detained Americans, former Congresswoman Manning criticizes me for taking a Palestinian led trip to the West Bank. I want to respectfully address this criticism head on because we desperately need more American politicians to take trips like the ones I did. I had been to Israel three times before my trip to Palestine. I had met with PM Bennett and PM Netanyahu. I have met with the families of Oct 7 terrorist attacks, including Jon and Rachel Polin who lost their beloved son Hersh. Can an American politician not take one Palestinian led trip to the occupied territories to learn the facts on the ground? Must every trip be curated through the Israel government or pro Israel advocacy groups? Will any trip that is through the lens of Palestinian eyes be dismissed as a stunt? What is most surprising to me is Congresswoman Manning dismisses my experience of being seen first as Brown and second as an American in the West Bank. I have never felt personally such an acute sting of race in America. When traveling in Palestine with a small group of others who were White, I was singled out and asked my faith. I was subject to longer interrogations at checkpoints. I was laughed at and mocked by violent settlers. And I saw firsthand the IDF taking the side of violent settlers much like the police forces sided with segregationists in the Jim Crow South. I am not nearly as eloquent as Ta-Nehisi Coates. But any person of color will feel how he or I did if they visit the occupied territories for even 24 hours. What is happening in Palestine is a betrayal of Judaism or the ideals of Israel. I wish Congresswoman Manning and others who love Israel would open their eyes and help work to redeem the soul of the nation they love by ending the oppression.

@american_screed @SizweLo I don't get that from the post at all.

@Fir3Li0n @SizweLo True, which is another curious thing. Because even without mentioning it, that's clearly the worldview he's working from.

People defend capitalism because they confuse it with commerce. They believe “capitalism” is when people start businesses and sell things. If people understood that the thing they call capitalism and love so much is actually just commerce and that it’s not the same thing as capitalism, they would feel very different. This is because a local baker selling bread, a mechanic fixing cars, or an artisan selling wares on a digital storefront is a sign of commerce in a market economy, which is simply a mechanism for exchanging goods and services based on supply and demand. Needless to say, this has existed for thousands of years before capitalism was created. As economic historian Fernand Braudel pointed out, commerce and capitalism are not only distinct; but historically, they have often operated at cross-purposes. According to Braudel, ordinary commerce is competitive and transparent, while capitalism is anti-competitive and deliberately opaque, making it a zone of privilege held by a small elite who bend the rules in their favour. Braudel further argues that commerce, or the market, is horizontal, transparent, and competitive and as old as civilization itself. It involves individuals or small groups trading goods, where barriers to entry are low, no single player dominates, and profit is a reward for fulfilling a specific need. Capitalism, meanwhile, is a specific institutional arrangement that emerged relatively recently in human history, around the 16th to 17th centuries. It is NOT just people “trading stuff”. It is instead the legal and financial system where the means of production are privately owned, and the primary objective is the continuous, infinite accumulation of capital. Because of this accumulation-obssessed nature of capitalism, when it scales up, it seeks to eliminate the free play of commerce to protect its investments. True market competition is risky for massive capital as it drives prices down and threatens profit margins. Braudel contended that capitalism only begins where commerce ends. It is the zone of high finance and state collusion. Because it operates across vast distances such as the 17th-century spice trade, information takes months to travel, which creates a deliberate lack of transparency. Braudel noted that the great capitalists of the early modern era in Madeira and Venice or the Dutch East India Company, never wanted to compete in a fair, transparent market because competition slices profit margins to the bone. Instead, they secured royal charters, exclusive trading rights, and naval protection. At the same time, the state granted them legal monopolies, effectively outlawing competition. Therefore, capitalism naturally trends toward creating monopolies and securing state interventions like bailouts, subsidies, and regulatory capture to shield itself from the very market forces it claims to champion. In fact, the most important takeaway from Braudel’s analysis is that capitalism is NOT the natural evolution or the highest form of the free market, it is its dark shadow. So, when our lizard overlords use “free market” and “capitalism” interchangeably, they’re deliberately hiding this distinction and using the moral legitimacy of the hard-working, transparent business owner to defend the structural privileges of the protected financial elite and its regulatory capture. If ordinary people could comprehend these distinctions, many self-described “capitalists” would realise they are just pro-commerce, and actually anti-capitalist, because it would be clear that defending “capitalism” means defending the right of a small parasite class to bypass the market entirely.

@liberty_kevlar @TrillStancil @46nd2 @GovMikeHuckabee @aishahhasnie @FoxNews So, you think they are automatons, and if they're Muslims they all must think the same, from a sheep herder in the kazak mountains to a Barbary Coast pirate from literal 100s of years ago. Your arguments are pathetic, weak, and full of fallacies.

@TrillStancil @46nd2 @GovMikeHuckabee @aishahhasnie @FoxNews Oh, so the point was about the arbitrary geographical location, not about the specific people who are diametrically opposed to our way of life? Mental gymnastics checks out.

Was a pleasure to be w/ @aishahhasnie @FoxNews today. Iranians hold 'kill Trump' flags at Khamenei's funeral foxnews.com/video/64008971… #FoxNews

John F Kennedy was correct when he said “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” That’s why police robots are being aggressively normalized today. The empire managers want to make sure violent revolution is impossible, too. The New York Times’ sports department The Athletic has a creepy new article out titled “The ‘Robodogs’ on World Cup patrol in Mexico” about how wonderful and awesome it is that the international soccer tournament is being patrolled by surveillance robots. The article is functionally a PR piece for police robots, gushing about how “cute” and “cool” onlookers find the dystopian technology. The piece opens with the cheery paragraph, “A group of police officers patrolling a stadium with three dogs on a World Cup matchday wouldn’t usually raise eyebrows. But when those three dogs are high-tech robots equipped with video cameras that can sustain speeds of 20kmph, you can understand the fuss.” “The K9-Xs are made of aluminium and high-strength plastic,” The Athletic writes. “They have facial recognition and behavioural analysis systems installed, which means they detect when a group of people become agitated and send video to the police force’s centre for command, control, communication and computers.” In a video segment accompanying the article, The Athletic’s Tomás Hill López-Menchero refers to the robots as “creatures” and says the robots “went down a treat with the public” in the World Cup audience. It’s little things like this that help normalize police robots in public consciousness. Calling them “dogs”, giving them the name “K9”, calling them “creatures” instead of machines. It’s pretty clearly designed to evoke the image of something normal that westerners are familiar and comfortable with. But westerners should not feel familiar and comfortable with these things, and we should not see them as normal. The fact that we’re seeing more and more use of police robots around the world should frighten us all, and the fact that popular institutions like the World Cup and the New York Times are being used to normalize them should freak us the hell out. Our rulers are always acutely aware that there are a whole lot more of us than there are of them, and that we could turn on them at any time. This has been the case for as long as there have been rulers. History is full of examples of the masses turning against their government and establishing a new order, and the oligarchs and empire managers have long been preoccupied with the task of ensuring that this never happens to them. Autonomous killing machines nullify many of the problems presented by human security forces. You don’t have to worry about the robot army siding with the people, or refusing to fire upon their fellow citizens. An army of militarized police robots would provide the oligarchs and empire managers of the western empire with a perpetually obedient force of bulletproof trigger-pullers who can shut down any uprising when the time comes. The increasing ubiquitousness of police robots is not separate from the exploding prevalence of surveillance cameras and AI facial recognition, the push for digital IDs and the eradication of online anonymity, or the increasing instances of online censorship and Silicon Valley algorithm manipulation. A technological cage is being constructed around the public to ensure that we can be stopped from turning against our masters. The story of humanity in the 21st century is the story of a race between revolution and the technologies designed to prevent it. A race between the awakening of collective consciousness to the urgent need for revolutionary change on one hand, and the technological ability to quash a people’s rebellion on the other. We’re all in this race, whether we realize it or not. We’d better pick up the pace.

@taylorburrowes So it's a must watch?

Ryan Gosling was superb in The Hail Mary Project. I cried and oh my goodness did I laugh. I was on the edge of seat (on the couch with my family) enthralled throughout the whole thing. I wouldn’t change a thing other than making a part 2. There was no love story, no violence and no vulgarity and it was fully entertaining throughout a complete story arc that was properly thought through and executed. And I loved the core message, the friendship, the imagination and the resolution. Amaze! Amaze! Amaze!

@0xBoko @BonesawMD So did the passion die? I'm talking about sexual intimacy

@Fir3Li0n @BonesawMD I think it’s something can work later in a relationship. Intimacy comes from communication and trust.

The ideal marriage scenario is to sleep separately, and in a different bedroom than your spouse. Occasionally sleeping together when the mood is right. But most people have normalised their co-dependence to such an extent they can hardly entertain the idea.

@american_screed @SizweLo Marxism wasn't mentioned in this post at all.

Is this what Marxism and socialism has been reduced to? You guys now actually advocate "commerce" including money, prices and market competition? Well, then I guess Marxists and free-market capitalists are the same. Because from what I've read, there's ZERO difference. Free market capitalists express the same complaints about modern capitalism What you described as "capitalism" is capitalism as pathology, according to free market advocates. It's capitalism gone awry. It's when markets are not efficient, competition no longer exists, and governments in collusion with monopolies have distorted the marketplace. The era of the East India company (let's say sometime around the 15th or 16th centuries) was not capitalism proper but the age of mercantilism and later colonialism.

@SizweLo Well said!

If you try to save money by cooking at home, you walk into a grocery store where three massive conglomerates own every brand on the shelf and have colluded to raise baseline prices by 40% over three years. If you try to cut costs by renting a modest apartment, you face corporate landlords using automated algorithmic software to artificially inflate rental rates across the entire city simultaneously. If you try to opt out of car debt by using public transit, you realize municipal budgets were slashed to protect the auto industry, leaving you with zero reliable infrastructure to get to work. You aren't making "poor financial decisions." Every single alternative route to survival has been intentionally bought out, consolidated, and monetized to extract maximum profit from your baseline existence. They don't want you to build wealth; they want you permanently trapped on a treadmill where every necessary life pivot just leads back to the exact same corporate ledger.

@lamps_apple @hasanthehun 6 billion? 😅😅😅

0.101% of the budget. 99.899% of our annual spending is NOT on Israel. The radical left relies on low information voters.

he was checking out where our tax dollars are going

@wudijo That's gross

Okay we finally hit BIG #DiabloIV

@Grossmanite Why'd you have to come back?

Am I depressed possibly more than ever because I'm working 70 hour weeks or because I had to come back from China

@ok2amurph @johnmarshall491 @999copperhead @PeteHegseth He means indirectly, sir. These chopper pilots put people directly at risk. That's the difference.

@johnmarshall491 @999copperhead @PeteHegseth I agree that this was an unnecessary risk and all involved should get a slap on the wrist. But to say air shows don't put people at risk is wrong. Stunts that are performed at low altitudes in front of grandstands most definitely put the audience at risk and shit has happened.

We’ll fix this. Carry on, Patriots.

@johnmarshall491 @Smart_Blonde74 @PeteHegseth They flew too close to shore, over people in the water. 100% someone from command saw that and shit a brick. Rightfully so.

Look, I get it. It’s fun for the pilots, and people on the beach love it. Even the person in the video isn’t complaining. Some Karen ruined it all I’m sure. that said, no marines in Coronado do not fly that low over crowd of people. I was literally a pilot like these guys and in my younger years have plenty of videos of me doing equally dumb shit. So going out of my way to say they should be punished would be hypocritical…however what they are doing is in fact against regs, is objectively unsafe and probably against what they are briefed to do. What I said was we can’t have the highest levels of military leadership encouraging reckless behavior because that’s how we end up with 150+ civilians dead asking what the fuck happened.

@0xBoko @BonesawMD Insane, how does this work? Where's the intimacy?

@BonesawMD Not slept in same room as wife for most of last 15 years. Marriage good.

@GiffLasta Grab that woman, pull her into your lap and make her laugh, damn!! It's not that complicated!

The slide towards a dead bedroom is starting. He needs to change course.

@vikhtervekhter @dieworkwear @DrAllyLouks You're ruined

@dieworkwear @DrAllyLouks Oh God, not you

Since joining Twitter, you've posted an average of 111.4 times per day. Assuming you sleep for 8 hours, that's about 7 times per hour or once every 9 mins. Since joining Twitter, @DrAllyLouks has posted an average of 1.4 times per day. You post 80 times more often than her.

@STFUabtChicago @TMZ 1984... Jesus Christ..

@TMZ In 1984, #MitchMcConnell ran ads during his FIRST CAMPAIGN for the Senate, accusing the incumbent of ABSENTEEISM, and searching for him with BLOODHOUNDS Kinda ironic, dontcha think? youtube.com/watch?v=bcpuhi…
