We’re replacing all the old equipment with machines. They can all starve

@elhijodealli7 Amazing you can’t see that you are the cancer

It’s like there’s a hospital where every minor scrape and bruise gets turned into a worse infection and no one is healed. It also doesn’t cure more complicated illnesses like cancer. And when you propose replacing this hospital people refuse to engage until you can cure cancer.

@C_Garthwaite Bye bye

Reactions to this tweet reveal the lack of understanding of sources of American economic dynamism among the political right. Saying “we’ve always had the best American workers before” ignores how many of our top firms came from immigrants. That’s always been our advantage.

@spqr_sulla Everybody reads that stupid fucking book bc it has a good cover

What it’s like to go back and watch peak Tucker before he trooned out

@jeff82874662 galloway-index.webflow.io Many years old haha

Didn’t Galloway used to sort of be a shrewd / interesting guy? What happened here?

@vogon_laureate If you kill everything outside the walls you won’t have to worry either. This is what nukes are for

One thing is certain: you can’t live in the gated condo of the planet forever without being affected by the global devastation that makes this condo possible. No matter the walls and all the most lethal measures, it’s coming home to you, and will be doing so more and more

Sánchez let it slip yesterday that the Spanish-Moroccan border has the biggest wealth disparity on Earth. That is at the heart of this, ultimately. And there are people who think that if they were destitute, right next to those gates, they wouldn’t even think of trying to cross

@EricRichards22 Probably good for old libtards to see so they don’t vote for her but yea it’s as dumb as the ‘communist’ hysterics about Zohan and whoever else. No one knows what a communist even is but they are enemies and I want them dead simple enough

You can't be this asshurt about nothing That's not who we are, that's what they were These people do enough actually evil shit that focusing on irrelevant bullshit is beclowning yourself

@eugyppius1 @FistedFoucault @williamcacusso Why do we think this is? I read it as Europeans being too untrustworthy with their own defense to leave these places to but I’m not totally satisfied with this. Is it just simple bargaining?

@williamcacusso this anticolonialist rhetoric we had during Greenland, and hints of which we see again now, has been very revealing. this is a longstanding American strategic attitude towards Europe spanning decades and all major internal ideological divides.

People arguing that America and Israel are just punishing Sanchez for being an open border leftist, should read more about US actions in Western Sahara during Franco rule, who was an America and NATO ally

@SwerveMonroe @Snakeeater36 It’s fucking awesome

@Snakeeater36 They’re all yoked, covered with tat, with Fanny packs, short shorts, t shirts and Gatorz. It’s kind of ridiculous. We need to bring back the Vining’s of the world. Lanky Killing Machines that look like accountants.

I can kind of understand giving these dudes a little bit of shit given the fact that it’s pretty obvious what they are and what they’re doing. But I think the whole ” you’re supposed to blend in and you’re supposed to be the gray man” schtick has been misinterpreted since Vietnam. You really think that a alpha base full of white dudes in the middle of Vietnam was “gray”? Fuck no. The whole point of that statement is to not overly advertise your actions. To be honest, it gets pretty fucking difficult to blend in where you stand almost an entire foot above them, with a wholly different skin tone.

@LandsknechtPike Worth a caveat that conquest was always followed up with a formal legal handover, often payment, and a buyout of the otherwise perpetual rights of the conquered party. Most European wars have been conducted legally

This reminds me of this quote from Otto von Bismarck: "Gentlemen, if you contest the right of conquest, you cannot have read the history of your own country." Modern people are uncomfortable with the concept of Right of Conquest because it became essentially prohibited after 1945 to invoke it in any conflict, since the UN and the international order don't allow wars of conquests in terms of one country annexing territories of another country by force anymore. However even the creators of these modern post-1945 ideas never intended to question age old borders which were a result of some conquest centuries ago, when the Right of Conquest was effectively the norm, as Bismarck points out in this quote. Let me explain what the historical principle in international law and political practice known as Right of Conquest actually was. It did not mean recognizing that some country has the right to go on any war of conquest they want, but that a conquest could be seen as legitimate if the victorious party was able to establish effective control over the territory and the defeated were no longer able to resist or reclaim the territory. Historically, this would be seen as establishing a new legal reality, leading to formal treaties that confirmed the transfer. Such treaties were seen as valid and countries could claim legal right to territories by the virtue of having conquered them in the past. So even if these conquests resulted out of wars of aggression which would be seen as illegal, the result of the conquest could still be legally affirmed out of pragmatism and "might makes right" (Macht geht vor Recht) principle, a catchphrase specifically describing Otto von Bismarck's Realpolitik and a reality for most of history. In this context the Right of Conquest would be invoked. This was simply a pragmatic reality in the age where global empires and emerging nation states were regularly going at war with each other and territories switched hands all the time. In this context, the Right of Conquest was actually the only way to ensure peace, because if losing states would not want to accept defeat and transfer of their territories to the winner, peace treaties would be impossible to sign, and therefore leading to perpetual wars all over the world. However the Right of Conquest became essentially banned in 1945 by UN charters. Modern international relations and conflicts were to be guided by the concept of ex iniuria ius non oritur ("a right does not arise from a wrong"), which asserts that if a war was waged illegally, anything that was gained through such war could not be legally recognized as legitimate anymore. And since all wars of aggression are effectively seen as illegal today, countries could no longer invoke Right of Conquest in international law for any new transfers of land. The reason why a "ban" of such historically accepted concept like Right of Conquest was made possible is because of the establishment of international order that was actually able to enforce it. All the major post-1945 powers like USA and Soviet Union essentially agreed to it. For example when these countries waged wars and invaded other lands, they did not attempt to annex those lands and claim their territories but instead installed a favorable regime. The post-1945 order turned wars of conquest into regime change wars. The 1945 borders were practically meant to be frozen, to preserve world peace and provide stability, since such order at least in theory discourages countries to invade another, knowing that their territorial gains would never be legally recognized. So even though the modern 1945 international order banned the Right of Conquest to be invoked in future conflicts, it was never meant to question historic conquests that happened before that. Quite the opposite, because the 1945 borders were meant to be frozen. The modern international order is literally based on the idea that you affirm all the historic conquests that happened before it came into being as legitimate. But now you often see people who want to project the modern international legal order and morality into earlier times in history, and treat historic conquests as illegitimate, as if the post-1945 international laws existed in 15th century. This is just a result of complete ignorance of these people and/or their inability or dishonesty to form a coherent worldview. It's always completely selective too. For example if you think that Ceuta isn't Spanish because it was gained through some military conquest centuries ago, Morocco literally shouldn't exist as a country by the same logic. Or, to quote Bismarck again, "you cannot have read the history of your own country."

@feito_chan @derzum_ Yes!

@derzum_ Are you chuds happy? Did you finally *get* what you voted for?

WaPo reports that ‘mass layoffs’ of Haitian workers have begun. Haitians in Florida and New York have been let go across various industries, numbering hundreds, according to non-profits and union leaders. Some employers are seeking replacements now, offering higher benefits.

@Landeur All in English but one too

“All my friends are so depressed.”

@retardmode No one who has spent time in a house with ‘help’ wants that life

“i grew up really poor, i had to spend my summers in the hamptons with my dad who was a professional tennis player”

@VoicesfromNam @EchoesofWarYT It’s overrepresented but certainly not a majority

Historically the South has made up a majority of the U.S. military

I don’t even think it’s controversial to say the Middle East is vastly better for the US than in 60+ years ✅ ISIS campaign - complete success ✅ Hamas gone ✅ Hezbollah near dead ✅ Syrian war - total victory ✅ Houthis near dead ⏰ Iran wiped out, military and economy ruined

@VolandyanVoland And they look like “Arsen” here or worse lol

San francisco breeds the biggest degenerates who cannot see anything through lens other than degenerate sexual one

@DrewPavlou Annoying that that particular girl thinks she’d be such a temptation

Get away from me, Siren.

@EBasilion She should hang

Right now, there is a trial happening in Boston that is being televised where a mother with postpartum psychosis killed her 3 young children before slashing her own wrists and jumping out of a second floor window, which ended up paralyzing her from the waist down. Her psychosis took off after the birth of her 3rd child, right before she was scheduled to return to work as a labor and delivery nurse. She was being treated with medication, daily appointments with her doctors and a stint at McLean Psychiatric Hospital. She is the one who begged for help. She committed this crime on the day her husband left the house for 1/2 hour to get groceries because she seemed to be doing better. The fact that this woman is on trial when she was clearly out of her mind is unconscionable. The fact that she, her husband and even the first responders are being forced to relive the event is also unconscionable. One of the jurors asked to be removed because he couldn’t handle it. Out of all the things though, the most unconscionable of unconscionable things is the way we treat mothers and their babies in this country. From @taprootbirth “Postpartum depression is a condition affecting the neurotransmitters in a person's brain. It is also caused by lack of presence, care and community. In many traditional cultures it is taught that a new mother should never be left alone with her babies. She needs the co-regulation of wise women/people. She needs grounded humans who feed her, make sure she is hydrated, clean her sink, brew her tea, ladle her soup, and play with her other children. Someone to sit with her, share stories, and make her laugh. Help her remember she is human. A mother who is left alone with her babies postpartum has the cognitive impact of a person who has survived war. Her body thinks she has been abandoned by her community.” If there is something good to come out of this, let it be the end of the expectation that caregiving is something that we consider as a last priority after all the other things. Because it’s fucking time.

@rrcjaf @GlobeFarrah If she really didn’t mean to do it she would kill herself

@GlobeFarrah Sam tbh. I do think the combo of psych meds likely contributed to this and I also believe she should be held criminally responsible.

I'm struggling really hard with my feelings about this case

@soblackandblue @T_connifer It’s NYC law that every homeless person be provided a bed (for which they have some minimal behavioral standards)

@T_connifer > "the size of the population of people who are 1-3 steps away from sleeping rough There is a fixed amount of people who'd ever end up sleeping on the street. It doesn't grow or change with material conditions.

"the size of the population of people who are 1-3 steps away from sleeping rough has no causal relationship with the number of people sleeping rough."
