Indefatigable and incorrigible. Final fantasy and Gustave Flaubert enjoyer.

@PJ11819211 I agree with the popular consensus that season 3 was the best one of Korra (maybe of avatar period) but it's very funny that they point to it as having some incisive political commentary wherein Zaheer is just like "we want anarchy because the system is all corrupt maaan"

@jaysburningroom @Bartaway I agree with you on principle but if Einstein were alive today he would obviously not support modern day Israel
English
@Bartaway Don't get what's the necessity of having the pedigree of Einstein to be "pro-Palestinian". If Physicists can admit the guy was wrong when opposing Quantum Mechanics, Lefties can admit he had unsavory views on Israel / Palestine for their standards of today
English
This is why quote mining is dumb and tries the sever someone from what they actually do. Einstein was a Ahad Ha’am-esque cultural Zionist who, completely in line with that, was a binationalist and hated many actions of the State. Then he willed his work to Hebrew University.

@Yair_Rosenberg You are an incredibly dishonest writer who has deliberately left out every quote from Einstein that supports Piker's position and undermines your own. If your undergraduate thesis on Einstein is as intellectually dishonest as this article then your degree should be revoked.

@MakeUSAVAT The Dems should probably just drop gun control entirely, it sucks but the antigun position turns ~25% of the electorate rabidly against you for a policy that would never be implemented even if the united states had a communist revolution
English
@leftwick20 Israel in general is not that important of an issue but to the extent it is, people generally lean against it now meanwhile it's probably the opposite for gun control in Maine.
English
i wish the left were actually a single issue anti israel movement, would spare us from stuff like Hasan telling the new york times that shoplifting from whole foods is a salutary act of revolution
Jordan Klein@dodgersjordan
My daily fuck leftists for having zero principles post. They refuse to compromise an inch on Israel / AIPAC and anyone who isn’t militant on the issue is a genocider but Platner being weak on gun control? Eh who cares
English
@purplewaves7 @Lux_Stella_ "Hasan Piker, recurring NYT opinon columnist" would make literally everyone explode in rage so i tentatively support this
English
@Lux_Stella_ Lifestyle anarchism promoted as some revolutionary act against the ruling class, very 2020 esque
English
im afraid the american working class will never accomplish anything of value
English
@purplewaves7 The problem is that stuff like backgound checks are pretty cosmetic and actually making a difference would require mandatory buybacks, which would cause red state riots if it were ever somehow attempted
English
@leftwick20 I think it would be a good idea to pivot to portraying gun control as a way to prevent crime in general and not just mass shootings, something Americans are completely numb to at this point
English
He really is a 2018 Chapo guy lol
Politics & Poll Tracker 📡@PollTracker2024
NBC News: Graham Platner, notably, leans to the right on one issue: He said he’d oppose a ban on semi-automatic assault weapons, a goal that Democrats have pursued for years. “In a nation awash in guns like ours,” he said, the focus should be on restricting access to firearms people with a violent history or “displaying a likelihood of committing a violent act.” #MaineSenate

Lol they're already reached the final days of Biden where they just put a bunch of meaningless EO's for him to sign and pretended like they actually changed anything in the material world
Will Chamberlain@willchamberlain
The proper response from Donald Trump to these Virginia shenanigans is to announce that the retrocession of Arlington and Alexandria to Virginia was unconstitutional and that they are and always will be part of the federal district
English
Why did CA’s redistricting referendum perform so much better than VA’s? CA is much bluer obviously but even taking that into account, CA’s did way better
English
@SnakeThatStings The chance of making any sort of deal that isn't complete capitulation to israeli/US interests as long as Trunp is in office is non existent
English
@leftwick20 Is the best outcome? The flow of oil will not resume. Gas prices will continue to skyrocket. Asia will have a full blown energy crisis. I feel that status quo won't hold for long
English
feel like an extended "no war, no peace" period of stasis was the best realistic outcome tbh
Gregory Brew@gbrew24
Trump extends the ceasefire for an undetermined length of time.
English
@Lux_Stella_ Probably some sort of rump state of just Russia + the central asian republics that has uneasy denente with the US and foreswears global ambitions
English
@Lux_Stella_ Collapse was bad and Gorby was a rank incompetent but if the USSR had survived there was no way it was going to be sustainable to continue the cold war
English
look im not a huge USSR collapse triumphalist guy. but uh. realistically speaking that shit was pretty cooked.
Arthur 📚🔰🚩🍉🔆@artisanrocky
I would much prefer a timeline where the Soviet Union adopted more democratic reforms vs the timeline that gave us Putin’s Russia.
English
unironically I know she's not politically relevant anymore but sarah palin casually reposting Fuentes is the first time I'm entertaining the "gop civil war" being real

@SlurricaneH Every podcast ever has a tertiary character whose job is just to nod and agree with whatever the star says
English
@leftwick20 @purplewaves7 they really are not, if anything people who think falling for a SE Asia-based pig butchering scam that disguises itself as a fundraising op for palestinians is noble are much more abundant

Reports from Bluesky: the socialist LARPer guy who agrees with everything centrist Democrats do is over there, and he has gotten really into AI
English
@credenzamostro @purplewaves7 Why are those lib hawks who post le epic memes about NATO dropping rainbow flag bombs on the middle east so over represented on bluesky

@credenzamostro @purplewaves7 She was one of my first twitter mutuals lol. Blocked me eventually though
