@LuukeSkinwalker @Gaiajourney @QudsNen Would Palestinian Summer camps with members of Hamas there doing all the sorts of activities and fundraising described above bother you?
English
You mean the university students wearing green Hamas headbands and waving ISIS flags? Yeah… that’s surely the same thing as 8 year old kids at summer camp. How delusional are you? How hard do you have to bend your brain to make it make sense?
Leave our kids alone. They are not the Israeli government. They are not the IDF. Why cannot you not understand how evil you sound. Do you think you are helping Palestinians by targeting Jewish kids in Canada? I promise all you are doing is turning people away from your cause. You’re an absolute moron.

“When children’s camps support a genocidal state, it’s time for gigantic change”
Pro-Palestine groups in Canada are calling for action against summer camps that are supporting Israel’s occupation forces and its ongoing genocide in Gaza.
In a joint statement on Friday, organizations including Canada BDS said they identified at least 17 camps across the country that fundraise for “war relief” for the Israeli occupation military.
Citing specific examples, the groups pointed to Camp Moshava Ennismore in Toronto, where an Israeli soldier reportedly shared videos joking about humanitarian aid in Gaza, and Camp Timberlane, which posted photos with Israeli military personnel.
They emphasized that their objection is not to Jewish identity or cultural education, but to camps that actively encourage support for a “genocidal, settler-colonial state.”
Pro-Palestine advocates are urging Canadians to pressure the Ontario Camps Association by sending letters demanding accountability, an end to accreditation for camps linked to the Israeli military, and a stop to practices that promote or normalize support for Israel’s crimes against Palestinians.

@MethexisATX If someone believes what a computer is doing is what they do when they think then this is simply a confession of idiocy.
English
Reza Negarestani’s Intelligence and Spirit sets out to define what intelligence actually is, not through the lens of computer science or neuroscience, but through a rigorous, functionalist philosophical perspective grounded in German Idealism and modern analytic pragmatism.

@JacobAShell It's not stated but this is likely in equal measure an effort to contain the left as much as it is to contain the right. The transnational corporate cosmopolites right now just are the liberal establishment.
English
Yess...if there are two things nobody associates with the left, it's cosmopolitanism and internationalism.
Jacobin@jacobin
Political theorist Lea Ypi argues that the global right-wing surge is not best understood as a geopolitical realignment but as an ideological convergence. The Right is uniting across borders. The Left should do the same: jacobin.com/2026/04/left-c…

@samhusseini It was a description, and very probably a correct one. I don't see the point in critiquing him for not engaging in performative wishcasting.
English
@WGnosis I was the opposite of a plan of action. He explicitly says nothing will happen. Because he just wants to do rhetoric.
English
Mearsheimer talks about Nuremberg-like-trials for US officials with no reference to the ICC which finally indicated Netanyahu and is being attacked by the US (and could potentially be used against US officials) -- and the ICJ which has a genocide case re Israel pending for which more emergency measures can be granted. (There could also be an ICJ case against the US re Iran.)
He effectively deflates concrete legal measures into meaningless rhetorical fluff -- which he posits from the onset will never happen.
Also, he's echoing Chomsky about US officials getting hanged. He's giving decent people a shot of dopamine to soothe their grievances rather than a path to get actual justice.

We must proscribe the IRGC, and deport any foreign nationals with direct links to that appalling organisation.

@policytensor @NicoleGrajewski All scenarios = It is a security imperative for Iran to acquire nukes.
English
@policytensor @NicoleGrajewski Not having nuclear weapons did absolutely nothing to help them not be sanctioned. Arming themselves and asserting themselves has made their prospects improve.
Also keeping the weapons secret could secure w/ever those benefits may be w/out risks.
English
I want to go further and suggest that Waltz, the father of modern realism, got this one right. The reason for this war is that perceived Iranian weakness gave Bibi and Trump a bully boner.
Had Iran proliferated quickly in secret like North Korea, and as @NicoleGrajewski argued on the same pages recently, there would’ve been no war for a bully boner. Israel and the US would just have to suck it up.
This does not necessarily mean that Iran should now rush to get the bomb. Securing a deal in Islamabad that opens up a path to security and prosperity is far more important, not just to the Iranian population but also for the future strength of the Iranian nation-state.
In any case, they got the Hormuz weapon.

Carl Worker@carlworker
This is the point where his excellent analysis turns into advocacy. Much better that Iran not have nuclear weapons. Everyone agrees. But if there is no way of stopping it (as was the case for DPRK, Israel, Pakistani, India etc), is it better to destroy the world trying? It is already, sadly, a nuclear world. Current nuclear powers, tragically, have given Iran every reason and more to want to join the club. Israel is understood to have second strike capability so a nuclear Iran would not lightly threaten Israel. The good news is that Iran has so far held to the position that it does not want to develop nuclear weapons. That should be celebrated and supported - eg JCPOA - not undermined as the US and Israel have been doing recently so recklessly and stupidly.
English
@policytensor @NicoleGrajewski If they do not have one then they are unable to match their adversary on the ultimate level of the escalation ladder, even if they dominate every other step. Israel can veto any and all security configurations below the nuclear level if Iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon.
English
@WGnosis @NicoleGrajewski It’s a means to an end. Not an end in itself.

BREAKING:
Netanyahu says we must find a place for the Palestinians to go.
English
This is correct, there was a major discrepancy between the 'ten points' Araghchi sold to the Iranian public and what he gave to the Americans.
It's a grave act of deception by the Iranian liberals against the families of Iranian martyrs to lie about what was agreed to. An act of sheer irresponsible brazenness driven by ego. The lack of any fixed and formal agreement created the space for the bloodthirsty Zionists to commit several massacres in Lebanon today. Unforgivable. What a cruel world we live in.
All war strategy must be in the hands of the IRGC, including any agreement or path to an agreement to end hostilities. This rotten class of liberal bureaucrats simply cannot be trusted. How many times will they be allowed to get away with this?

Iran’s Farsi version of its 10-point ceasefire plan includes “acceptance of enrichment” for its nuclear program—a phrase missing from the English version shared with journalists. The reason for the discrepancy is unclear. Source: AP

@AcademicAgent_X The sanctions are what made it possible.
They ease the political difficulty of restricting exogenous economic dependencies, while also providing security justifications for cultivating domestic economic and military industry.
It makes developing self-reliance far easier.
English
Some people say it is remarkable what Iran has achieved “despite” 47 years of sanctions but perhaps the real takeaway should be “imagine what can be done outside of their system”.
English
Beyond this point, there is a significant chance that thanks to continual gradual advancements in Wind and Batteries, and cheap Chinese solar production, that renewable energy starts to "work".
The right needs to rapidly update their knowledge of the engineering.
Academic Agent@AcademicAgent_X
One of the issues is that this argument will be drowned out by the fact that the British government has successfully diversified the “energy mix” making the country objectively one of the most resilient in Europe to oil and gas shocks. As the war goes on; this view will win out.

@AcademicAgent_X I like it best when the questions you ask are ones you yourself are curious to know what your interlocutors answer will be and comes from a place of seeking insight, regardless of whether it challenges or supports their position.

In recent interviews I've been playing devil's advocate a bit more and doing something of "a Paxman". Do you prefer this slight bit more "pushing back" from me?
English
From a friend:
"Before modern nationalism, people didn't really have any identity other than religion (language played an obvious role, yes, but I don't think it was as dominant as religion).
I remember my ancient history professor [in Iran] telling us that if someone left the religion of the Iranians, like if someone rejected Zoroastrianism, they would be called "aneran" (non-Iranian).
It means being Iranian is a culture or community you get to be in if you have the right beliefs or ideology [just as you were saying in your recent video]. It's funny how their culture and civilization change so little over the millennia."

In Iran, they blacked out the internet, left Starlink on, pinpointed who was using it, arrested them, then blocked Starlink.
