@FukMusk48576 It's possible that most people really want to limit the damage they do to their opponent. If I broke someone's nose I would feel it myself. Almost as if my own nose was broken. Maybe I am more sensitive that way than most ... but I think most have some of that sense.

A well timed straight jab on the nose does way more damage than any of this swinging punches. And will end about any street fight instantly. A broken bleeding nose scares most people into submission pronto.

Anyone care to hazard a guess as to which country the firms hired to rebuild the infrastructure in the GCC will come from…?

@Adrian_Hilton @JMilei Photograpy, Twitter, Instagram and electronic music killed the arts. They are dead. Now it's just a grift. The closest thing to art today is probably video games -- and I hate video games.

I respect @JMilei greatly, but on this he is wrong. And interestingly (contra the monetarist/market caricatures) Margaret Thatcher didn't agree that it should be left to the market to determine whether artists succeed or fail. She supported state subsidy, as I wrote recently:

.@JMilei: “I have nothing against artists. I had a rock band myself. My problem is that if you need a government subsidy to make art, you’re no longer an artist, you’re a public employee.”

@EngenEric @SO3_Clausewitz Oh I don't know anything about it. But, living in Brazil, I know a lot about barking dogs. In relation to this case with the Imam, I don't know why they poisoned the dog. I am just personally under constant attack by neighbors with barking dogs so it is an issue I care about.

When we lived in Morocco, our house was next to one of the country’s top imams. One day, his wife ordered their servants to put out poisoned meat to kill the stray dog we had adopted, vaccinated, and treated with the love it deserved. I really understood their culture after that.

@PatHamilxx @SimonDixonTwitt I don't know about that. The dissidents cause a LOT of problems if you don't give them an escape valve. Because they are filled with a kind of holy sense of indignation. Those 20% cause ALL your problems. If you just let them escape many of those problems don't arise.

@SimonDixonTwitt The covid debacle got the masses accustomed to the concept of lockdowns & removal of inalienable rights. The next phase of the control grid will therefore be a walk in the park. Lessons learned means that this time they will not leave room for 20% dissidents.

@Nyathera2 @e1b_american @SO3_Clausewitz Seraphina ... The challenge is the legal code with respect to barking. In your view, how should the legal code function when barking is disturbing neighbors? What should be the neighbors' rights in that situation -- or do they have none?

@TrendsTailRisks I agree this would be huge if so. But let's wait for the damage report. Maybe it was an old plant about to be de-commissioned or something. Or maybe they had some spare capacity. I mean ... it would be SUCH an escalation that I find it hard to believe.

@Michael_Yon Logical argument Michael ... but what I don't get is that while fertilizer prices are already up 70%, corn and wheat futures are only up about 10-12% since the war started. One would think they would be super sensitive to rising risk of crop shortages.

@MorganC000 So ... in this analysis Strait of Hormuz itself is a rival trade corridor since the US doesn't use or benefit from it. Do I have that right? Yet the closure doesn't seem to help the US much long-term. Bad for CPI ... hawkish for bond yields. Obv good for LNG exports tho.

The United States is methodically degrading every rival trade corridor within striking distance. Ukraine and Israel provide the operational cover; Iran and its pretend proxies absorb the attribution. The US keeps its hands clean.

@FistedFoucault Gaijin opinion obviously but Japan in a lot of ways seems like post-war WWII, New Deal America, frozen in amber. Their American imposed liberalism never evolved into great society era liberalism.

Japan has been dead since August of 1945. What exists now is entirely a perverted simulation powered by radioactive fallout...the length of its half-life is tbd.

Here's Mike Pompeo three months ago selling our "partnership" with Israel by claiming it "enormously" reduces the odds we will "have to send our young men and women to risk their lives in the Middle East someday."
Chris Menahan 🇺🇸@infolibnews

Mike Pompeo pushes for boots on the ground in Iran: "This is not time to pull back … They're still able to fire rockets, missiles … threatening our allies in the region. We need to take down this system entirely."

@JS001980 @SimonDixonTwitt I am starting to have that kind of feeling. I love Simon's model for this war. But the caveat seems to be, "If it doesn't happen that means it's not happening." In my view, the best pro-Simon evidence is the coordinated "industrial renewal" strikes + military base strikes.

@SimonDixonTwitt Like I said: an unfalsifiable narrative. fyi meeting has never been confirmed by Beijing & Trump originally mentioned April. Meaning your story line has the same “fluidity” as Trump.

My estimation, based on the current escalation cycle, is that it could happen any time before the Xi–Trump meeting in mid-May, if it is not postponed again. It’s a fluid situation. I’ll keep giving updates as we learn more. The market is not going to like it. The global reset has already started.

@uMarhobane I was just in Stellenbosch last month. Never seen so many attractive people as I saw around the campus there. The place just oozes wealth. I can see why the left would want to capture it.

@realninawysocka Men and women are of less use to each other in relationships than in the past. They just don't need each other as much anymore.

And how are we supposed to get into a relationship. Half the people you meet aren’t over their ex, talking to 20 others, keeping a roster, zero loyalty or just a wast of time. It’s pointless.

@DogmaticTower @real_lord_miles You are on to something. Psychically speaking, South America is a lot more peaceful than the US or Europe. One is not subject to 24/7 psychological warfare because a) it doesn't work as well there and b) there isn't as much to fight over.

@real_lord_miles South America hasn't been a target of wholesale Jewish subversion because it's already so brown and will never have anything like the British or American empires. And the thin crust of white-adjacent criollos who run the place have it locked down because they don't care either.

How come nothing ever happens in South America? Everything is constantly popping off in Europe, Asia, the Middle East etc but you never hear of anything independently taking place in South America. Is it because their genes are Spanish and Portuguese so they’re genetically lazy and sleep all day? Doesn’t make sense

@SimonDixonTwitt After thoroughly absorbing your recent excellent stuff, it seems there is an inherent tension between BBB and staged negotiation. The former seeks to maximize pain and chaos. The latter to control it. But wouldn't a true COVID 2.0 experience require Strait closure of 4-6+ months?

@PresentWitness_ Robert Barnes did an interview recently where he described Trump as both out to lunch and King Lear-esque in his flailing around vis a vis the war. But now I question that. I'm starting to think it is all an act given the war clearly has pre-planned elements.

@I_took_your_cat @NumberCrun77 @MurrayHillGuy1 Well women don't want it either. It's an institution that is dying. The problem is how you produce sufficient well-brought-up children in a world where the institution of marriage has fizzled out. Nobody has an answer.

@hoeberian @NumberCrun77 @MurrayHillGuy1 Yep. Clearly, the way marriage is done in the West today is dysfunctional and lopsided. A man has very little to no authority with all the responsibility. Which is borderline slavery. With current divorce statistics, and the libertine doctrines, the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

@NumberCrun77 @I_took_your_cat @MurrayHillGuy1 Then you have the problem of menopause. Men lose interest in menopausal women and women lose interest in sex. So what happens to marriages when both parties hit 52? They have 30 more years on the clock. Not pretty.

@hoeberian @I_took_your_cat @MurrayHillGuy1 Exactly. Women's desire is peak at the beginning of the relationship. Men's desire builds over time. The natural degradation if female desire results in a bump in divorce rates around the 7 year window, and we see another pre-menopause.
