“America Bad” is the single most accurate political heuristic that exists today

Jake Sullivan on Gaza: Too many innocent people died in Gaza as a result of Israel's military operations. I woke up every morning and went to sleep every night thinking about what we could do to try to alleviate the suffering. I have also said that genocide, from my perspective, requires actually an intent to do the destruction — and not to fight a terrorist foe while conducting operations in a way that killed too many civilians. Should we or could we have done more? I ask myself that question every day. And the answer must be yes, of course, because too many people died and suffered. I think about what opportunity here or what chance there or what move there, and I play that back in my head.

This is a lie. One in three Palestinian refugees, or 250,000 men, women and children, were made refugees by Zionist forces and militias *prior* to May 15th 1948. The Deir Yassin massacre happened more than a month before May 15th 1948.

When did it become normal for American Libs to say immigration failed in europe

Like... a huge share of other countries on planet earth were literally created as ethnostates or religious states or both. France for the Francs, England for the Anglos, Turkey for the Turks, Iran for the Persians, Sudan v. South Sudan on religious lines, ditto with India v. Pakistan, and so on. There are very few countries that have as much diversity as America -- let alone countries that have comparable diversity AND are as "open" a society in terms of immigration, expression, and so on (even if we're running with the U.S. under Trump as the comparison point) AND also have significantly less segregation/ discrimination/ conflict and significantly more intermarriage, etc. and no (or much smaller) statistical differences in outcomes like incarceration, (un)employment, educational attainment, income and so on. I think it would be great if we had even more integration, fewer disparities, bigotry and so on. But while it's important to recognize the immense room we have to grow, it's also important to recognize that these problems are, broadly, *less* severe in the U.S. than other societies... this is a big part of why people from other countries continue to try to come here. Americans broadly, and white Americans in particular, if they're outliers in any sense, it's likely in being *less* racist than most others. Both in terms of attitudes and life choices/ behaviors. In my view, it's primarily a form of (negative) American exceptionalism and ignorance about other countries that leads many to assume that America is uniquely a racist hellscape compared to the enlightened peoples and governments that implicitly populate the rest of the world.

What historical fact sounds fake but is true?

What historical fact sounds fake but is true?

This is where Piker's “interview” really became a purity test. “Do you believe Israel has a right to exist in its current form as an ethnostate that’s currently being investigated for genocide at the International Court of Justice?” Raman answered, “Yes, I do believe that Israel has a right to exist,” but added that she wants countries to operate “without apartheid” and “with equality in their borders.” Hasan immediately followed up: “Do you believe that Israel is an apartheid state then?” Raman said, “I think that it is, yeah.” Then Hasan brought up her 2024 censure from DSA-LA over accepting the Democrats for Israel LA endorsement, asking whether, “knowing what we know now and seeing the videos of Gaza in ruins,” she would still seek it out. Raman said, “I wouldn’t seek it out now,” pointed to her ceasefire resolution, and then tried to bring the conversation back to what a mayor actually does: keeping Angelenos safe, protecting protest rights, and pushing back against both antisemitism and Islamophobia.
