@RobertSole9 @ScaryEurope Because they have no leg to stand on on religious terms. Christians at least can criticize the warlike and the murderous and the Gospels will be on their side. But "don't follow the Quran" isn't going to fly with Muslims criticizing Muslims.

No because you are not happy just being a Muslim you have to ram it down everyone’s throats. Muslims are not the problem it’s the extreme beliefs and the Koran pushing for the destruction of all none believers. I know a hell of a lot of Muslims they don’t go to the Mosque. Drink alcohol some even like bacon butties.. They would no more fly a pig to the moon than murder rape blow up innocents. The decent. Muslims need to start publicly condemning those teachings and sections of the Koran that have no place in modern civilised societies xx

🚨🇬🇧Sadiq Khan: "It’s hard being a Muslim in 2026. People are trying to intimidate us into being less Islamic." Maybe because every major terrorist attack of the past 25 years have been by muslims.

That graphic never made any sense to me even back when it came out. Why the hell are submarines launching against Pretoria and Buenos Aires and Kinshasa and Acapulco? It's crap like this that made people start thinking "OMG if one nuke of any size goes off anywhere for any reason it means the END OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!" Look, if Pakistan nukes Mumbai, a lot of people are going to have a Very Bad Day, but what possible chain of events would lead to Russia/China/US nuking each other because of it?

@_cruzctrl1 Yes!!! Grew up next to Cheyenne Mountain (featured in War Games among others) and never really recovered.

total xanax thought but a minority of loud voices telling everyone they are going to lose their jobs to AI is causing the same mental breakage in 2026 as telling everyone they were all going to die from Covid in 2020

@johnkonrad Oh gee, the Ecommunist says Trump is teh stoopid and luser Amerika is lusing. It must be a Thursday.

If we lost the war it would undermine him. Which is why the media is hell bent on saying Iran has a fighting chance left and the American military is losing. Unbelievable considering we sunk their entire Navy and our ships don’t have a single battle scar.

Enough

@Cernovich Vote by mail is the problem in the first place.

Utah's next Governor opposes the SAVE America Act. This is a crisis in Utah, and all red states. They will all be California within 5 years unless YOU - yes all of you who are obsessed with blue states - get involved and remove the rot.

@Rand_Simberg Mearsheimer has always been a Jew-hater.

This is insane.

@JoelWebbon To be clear, I thought that in 1981. And I only got the shot because my job forced it on us and I couldn't risk the job market right then.

@JoelWebbon I thought we should have blown the shit out of the ayatollahs about ten minutes after we got the hostages back in 1981.

Is there anyone who didn’t get the Covid shot who actually supports the war in Iran?

@EricRichards22 Sometimes the only way to get to peace is to create a desert.

All of 20th century protest and asymmetric warfare relies on the assumption that the anglos won't just fucking kill you out of hand for being annoying

@OrganizationTao @ODNIgov @antiwarmisfit @DNIGabbard I don't think anybody still deludes themselves that we can spread democracy. Without that, this is just self-protection, occasionally kinetic and occasionally Over There.

@ODNIgov @antiwarmisfit @DNIGabbard And just like that she goes full Neocon. Just sad.

At the Worldwide Threats hearing, @DNIGabbard spoke the TRUTH about the danger of radical Islamist ideology:   “The spread of Islamist ideology… poses a fundamental threat to freedom and the foundational principles that underpin Western civilization.”   “President Trump's designation of certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters as Foreign Terrorist Organizations is a mechanism to SECURE Americans against this threat.”

If the IRGC drops dead, it will be very interesting to see if financial support for Muslim immigration, NGOs like CAIR, and other Islam-supporting causes dries up, like what happened with USAID.

@GOPPollAnalyst @D3531394217688D @spencerpratt >It's violent thugs on scene injurying and sometimes killing them. I can think of a solution...

Um no. It's the trashy way they are treated by citizens. It's violent thugs on scene injurying and sometimes killing them. It's severly penalizing them financially if they get PTSD and need to leave early. It's not giving them proper PTSD support for LONG TERM PTSD not that BS within one year. FF/Medics know every inch of their city and every call of each corner or neighborhood and it haunts them. How about not assuming the person you are talking to doesn't know what they are talking about.

All the red is where there are NO available ambulances right now in Karen Basura’s LA. If you have an emergency it’s gonna be a looooooong response time. My lord, imagine if there were an earthquake. Karen is totally unprepared for emergencies. Stay safe, LA…

@ArtemisConsort Sorry, I meant scientific racism, not Social Darwinism.

Lay people have a tendency to misunderstand academic notions and commit category error fallacies. Social Darwinism and whatever we call the popular version of Deconstructionism are two examples that leap out at me. "Humans only use 35% of their brain" is another one that just won't die.

Math-brain Two foundational concepts in math are the quantifiers “for every” and “there exists” Example: “for every real number x, there exists a real number y such that x+y=0” The outer quantifier “for every” means the statement applies to all real numbers without exception. The inner quantifier “there exists” means that, given your choice of x, there is at least one y which satisfies the statement. “For every” statements can be disproven by a single counterexample. For example, the statement “for every prime number x, x is odd” is disproven by the fact that *there exists* the prime number 2. The fact that this is the only counterexample out of an infinite set of primes doesn’t matter. The universal claim is as false as it would be if every single prime were even. not “for every” = “there exists” not These are part of the basic language of set theory. And many academics who aren’t mathematicians also learn them in a logic class. But they’re a very poor grammar for thinking about the external world. In physical and social reality, hardly any concepts are utterly precise the way they are in math. They are not defined by logical propositions, but rather by vague clouds of data points. “Chair” is the most common example. There is no airtight, exception-free definition of a chair. Give any definition you want, and I’ll find something commonly called a chair that doesn’t satisfy it, or something not commonly called a chair that does. This is illustrated in a (possibly apocryphal) episode between Plato and Diogenes. Plato was asked for a definition of Man and said “featherless biped”. Diogenes runs in holding a plucked chicken and says “behold, a man!” Less humorously, math-brain is responsible for some of the dumbest arguments in politics. Consider the trans advocates who challenge any definition of sex by pointing out some 0.000001% prevalence disorder that they don’t even have. Or the people who respond to generalizations with anecdotal exceptions. Or the people who think the solution to illegal immigration is to just legalize them all. Boom! For every immigrant, that immigrant is now legal. Solved. That was your problem right? The technical legality? The basic issue is acting as if discrete language could ever carve continuous reality* perfectly, and selectively using its failure to do so to bog down conversations when *we all know what we mean*. No one consistently does this across the board, because it would render all thinking impossible. Rather, it is a rhetorical tool for derailing substantive debate. Don’t humor it. Don’t engage with it. Don’t get lost in the weeds. All practical categories are approximate, none are exact. If someone pretends they don’t know what you mean based on some math-brained hair splitting when they clearly do know what you mean, write them off as a liar. *this is not a claim about the nature of fundamental physics **despite calling this concept math-brain, I don’t think mathematicians are especially prone to it. Less so, if anything.

@sneako Whom gods destroy, they first make stupid. Or maybe audience-captured.

It has been blatantly obvious from day one that Israel allegedly killed Charlie Kirk. It’s time America understands this information and acts accordingly. We cannot repeat the mistake letting them lie about JFK for half a century. This is who they are and what they do.

@wil_da_beast630 I'd say "semi-autonomous protectorates", not states. We should stay the hell out of Iraq and Afghanistan except for the occasional punitive expedition. Iran should be de-Islamized and take its place an an honored ally.

Agree. STRONGLY AGREE. Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Britain (we'll save you, mum), and Panama should be states. Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan (free them girls...and ironically also end later-wave feminism, which could never ever do so), Greenland, Liberia, and maybe 1-2 places in Asia should be non-voting tributary vassals subject to our law. If you disagree, you hate disabled children.

@SandyofCthulhu Second-order effects just don't exist for leftists. Jonathan Haidt should have tested for that as well as "can you model what the other side thinks".

Do the thought experiment of what happens if an aggressive kid is never hit back for his crimes.

@UrbanCourtyard It's not entirely clear that cities have those goals. "Drive out the productive and consolidate the unproductive voter base to stay in power indefinitely" seems to be the actual goal.

Going to be very hard for cities to sustain school enrollment, pay for public pensions, have a robust economy, etc. if they don't create affordable housing for middle-income families. $1M+ SFH with a postage stamp fenced in backyard won't cut it

if you use the interior of the block for cars, then there is no safe outdoor space for young children to play with neighbors

@visegrad24 And this is why the British Museum, Louvre, Smithsonian, etc., should never return antiquities to the Middle East. (If things keep going as they are, the Smithsonian might have to launch a rescue mission and retrieve everything out of the other two.)

Islamists are petty, vindictive, stupid and resentful little people. Just as they throw acid in the face of a beautiful woman they can’t have, they blow up the architecture and culture of a civilisation they could never build, says Alex Shaw as he explores the destruction Islamists have inflicted across Africa and the Middle East.

@BloatMcQueen Bladerunner 2049 was very pretty but ultimately crap and a betrayal of the original movie. BTW, if you do watch the original, get the theatrical cut, no matter how dumb Harrison Ford felt doing the voiceovers. I've seen the director's cut and it's ... indulgent.

@turnedfourthing That’s my assumption as well. If I had been like… 15-20 when it came out I have this feeling I would have been more into it But I also don’t like bladerunner 2049

I'm sure there are others, but at the top of the list of things that I feel like I'm supposed to like, but just don't 1. Blade Runner 2. Blood Meridian
