@SowDana @Wilson__Valdez It is objectionable, they started the regional war.
English
Like here's a perfect example. Haley Stevens is not 'a genocidal monster'. And in fact calling her that just completely cheapens the term and demonstrates that you are an un-serious clown and nobody should listen to anything you say.
Centrism Fan Acct 🔹@Wilson__Valdez
One of my biggest beefs with the left is that they completely (lie and) corrupt/cheapen the meaning of words like 'corruption'. This is not what corruption is. Corruption has a specific meaning. This is not it. They do it with every Dem candidate, despite their candidates doing the same things.

@seankelly014 @CliffordAsness Better infant mortality rate is simple if you just don’t count the dead babies.
English
@CliffordAsness you mean the place with better labor law, better infant moriltally rate, with more doctors, with a better school system, a better enviromental plan, but god forbid someone can spent a million to fly to space

Excellent summary of how the DSA pretends to be Denmark but is in reality Cuba or worse. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

@rev_cap Is it our defense department, or political unwillingness to deal with the impact of a campaign of that scale?
English
My dad was military and I respect anyone who commits their life to support the country
But the defense department as a whole is mostly a welfare scheme at this point which is why we can’t project power anywhere or open the SOH against a little third world country

US Veterans' Benefits payments as a % of Total US Defense Department spend, 1959-present. Veterans' Benefits now a record 27% of DoD spend (and ~8% of total US Federal receipts), rising far faster than both DoD spend & Federal receipts.

@anmut @no_itsmyturn This site hasn’t been hit, not dust.

@no_itsmyturn Why would we, the U.S. need to hit it? According to Trump, the "nUclEar dUsT" is so buried only the lizard people that occupy center earth could get to it.

IRGC-linked Fars News: Mehdi Mohammadi, senior advisor to Iranian 🇮🇷 Parliament Speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, threatened today that if the US 🇺🇸 strikes Pickaxe Mountain, "the region will turn to hell."
He admitted Pickaxe Mountain "can be considered the most fortified nuclear facility in the world" and claimed the facility is immune to attacks.

@HML_Compounder @Benjami40086867 @estherzelda0514 @afalkhatib Both sides are genocidal. That’s the fucking problem.
English
Yes, the Israeli right are duped by a conman that caused 10/7 by his inattentiveness, among other things.
But the broader American left needs to realize that the Israeli right aren't the drooling morons of the American right, who believe fantasies on FOX about evangelicals trans-ing their kids and making them pee in litter boxes or caravan of Mexican rapists at the border. The Israeli right are those who have friends and family buried on Mount Herzl, cut down in their teens or 20s by terrorists.
The threat the Israeli right faces is real, and most of the Israeli left agrees on the existentialism of it, if not the solution for dealing with it. The threat the American right faces is made up or exaggerated, and most of the American left has to grapple with the unreality of trying to govern a country where a sizeable portion of people are tethered to paranoid delusions.

Whenever I speak to security-minded supporters of Israel, I realize that the Israeli Right gets the benefit of a doubt it shouldn't get on security. Folks, the Israeli right doesn't actually care about the safety of Israeli Jews. It just says it does. Let me walk you through it.

@FourSkinners @Benjami40086867 @estherzelda0514 @afalkhatib Intent matters. Strength is not how you decide good vs. bad. Desire to protect your own citizens vs. intentionally putting them in harms way as a strategy would be a useful metric there though.
English
@HML_Compounder @Benjami40086867 @estherzelda0514 @afalkhatib Exactly, one side lesser, one side greater.
Despite the fact the side you see as greater having killed hundreds of times the children than the side you see as lesser.
It’s not not terrorism just because the bombs fall from planes.
English
@FourSkinners @Benjami40086867 @estherzelda0514 @afalkhatib You have no idea what you’re talking about. Defending yourself from a genocidal army is not oppression.
English
@HML_Compounder @Benjami40086867 @estherzelda0514 @afalkhatib I’m the one who’s for forever war.
When you want to constantly oppress the Palestinians. Ok.
English
@FourSkinners @Benjami40086867 @estherzelda0514 @afalkhatib You have nice words, but no solution. I am the only one treating both as human here.
Good luck in life.
English
@HML_Compounder @Benjami40086867 @estherzelda0514 @afalkhatib And you’ve got the blood of every Gazan and Israeli till you treat both like peoples worthy of respect.
English
@FourSkinners @Benjami40086867 @estherzelda0514 @afalkhatib I’m going to leave this here though as someone so ideologically lost as to equate an IDF soldier to a Hamas terrorist is not really salvageable without serious reprogramming. Learn about the history, past conflicts, past attempts at peace. Good luck.
English
@FourSkinners @Benjami40086867 @estherzelda0514 @afalkhatib You still haven’t offered an alternative solution that maintains the security a 9 mile wide state needs when surrounded by enemies.
Why don’t Jordan and Egypt still get attacked by Israel? Why don’t Japan and Germany by the US? Peace is possible. You’re suggesting forever war.
English
@FourSkinners @Benjami40086867 @estherzelda0514 @afalkhatib I stand by what I said. You have Gazan blood on your hands with this take. Good luck in life.

@HML_Compounder @Benjami40086867 @estherzelda0514 @afalkhatib Because when Israel is attacked, they can respond, when Palestine is occupied, bombed, and attacked, they have to shut the fuck up and accept it. There’s way you make them live makes terrorism inevitable. Full stop.
QAM
@FourSkinners @Benjami40086867 @estherzelda0514 @afalkhatib So when the IDF forcibly removed settlers from Gaza in 2005 and left them with advanced agricultural systems to take over, that was making terrorism inevitable?
Plenty of Gazans know the real enemy is Hamas. You pretending Hamas has no agency is not helping.

@FourSkinners @Benjami40086867 @estherzelda0514 @afalkhatib It may make you feel good to take such a narrow view on the conflict, but you’re just adding fuel to the fire like many nations/orgs that are using Gazans as pawns to fight Israel.
Let’s make this the last time these homes ever need to be rebuilt and end this once and for all.
English
@FourSkinners @Benjami40086867 @estherzelda0514 @afalkhatib Israel is a tiny state, and its survival has been threatened existentially many times over its history. Just telling them to let their neighbors build up terror groups bigger than most European armies and not fight back is only ensuring Palestinian suffering continues.

@QuietProsperity @BarbellFactors @benjaminfelix @OptimizedPort @egr_investor @dollarsanddata @awealthofcs Large momo + SCV another solid combo. Or maybe a more thoughtful large growth fund ( DFA / Avantis both have growth/profitability options).
English
@BarbellFactors @benjaminfelix @OptimizedPort @egr_investor @HML_Compounder @dollarsanddata @awealthofcs Agreed in that sense that Avantis seems to run good funds. But I think most folks view it from a different perspective. If it doesn't offer something better, why do it?
And as always, being 100% any single factor just doesn't make sense to me. LCG + SCV would have been solid.

Imagine DIY retail investor in 2019 was told they should invest 100% to US Small Cap Value & NOT participate in the mega-cap tech & AI. That would be a no-go for many.
Yet in fact, $AVUV (a systematic multi-factor US SCV approach w/flexible trading) has matched or exceeded VOO.

@pansareV It’s my understanding it’s quite commonly the spouse rather than an experienced politician…? So not that far off.

The governor appointed her per the law. Still seems kinda dumb to appoint a family member with limited qualifications even as a caretaker
