The best modern tome on human rights comes from Henry B. Veatch in "Human Rights: Fact or Fancy?," from 2007. He builds his argument step by step, carefully laying the foundation for his central assertion that our basic rights are discoverable directly in the facts of nature.

@CandideOptimum @SamoBurja That would make a great movie, the aristocrats sneaking around, making things happen behind the scenes. Usually I would dismiss something like this as a conspiracy theory, but it seems like you learned things firsthand. What did you see in Geneva? Beautiful city too.

An important reason the West needs a more honest account of power is so that our elites are less delusional. For example the myth that the people can rise up against the government is directly responsible for U.S. elites honestly expecting authoritarian regimes to fall if we bomb their civilians.

@MargBarAhmdinjd @SamoBurja I'm not claiming to have a definitive answer, but my hypothesis is the displaced European aristocracy (currently operating from the shadows), as they have the greatest motive and means. That's what I gleaned while working in Geneva in the 90s anyway

I suspect most people underestimate the cretins' ability and need to perpetually double-down, even after things are explained clearly to them when you engage, it can only lead to frustration on your part. that is in fact their goal, and what they see as a win.

This cam footage can be verified on their own website, and the Sundeck is just over 11,000 ft

Aspen's Sundeck minutes ago. They've gotten over a foot of snow in the last few days

@cheeseheadexpat One of the best trips I did in my 20s was a backcountry ski trip to Huckleberry Hot Springs (South YellowStone entrance) in early March (Spring Break). That's where I first saw a gas-powered blender (dude was making daiquiris)

This is incredibly bleak. Mass hysteria has consequences. And not just for "elites"

@amuse Normally on this site you will see Trump derangement syndrome and Israel derangmeent syndrome. I have European derangement syndrome because I think it's the heart of darkness. No sooner did the Soviet Union fall than the EU was erected; it was a continuation

POLL: Should the US shutter its bases in Europe and bring its 100,000 troops home? I'm not asking whether the US should leave NATO, just asking about the bases and troops. Looking for differences in European and American opinions. Explain why in the comments.

@michaelmalice I thought it was interesting (as is typical), but both your takes on Vivek were unfair

@amuse That's a buying opportunity because the chances are actually rather low of that (in contrast to the House)

MIDTERMS: Senator Thune's failure to pass the SAVE Act and his decision to defund ICE and CBP is handing the Democrats not only control of the House but also the Senate in November. The prediction market now gives Democrats a 52% edge over Republicans to control the Senate.

@mtracey She basically stole that idea from Bill Maher because that's what these TDSers need to believe in order to cope

Joy Reid's position as of last year: QAnon was actually right that there's an "international pedophile conspiracy," the only thing they were wrong about was thinking Trump would be the one to take down this conspiracy. On the pedo-conspiracy substance, though, they nailed it

@SteveGuest This was never up for debate in my mind. I'm tired of having to read about topics that are so obviously 80/20

The 2020 lockdowns (dictated by state governors) were about destroying Trump's economy so he would lose the election, not saving anyone from a coronavirus. This fact is obvious to many of us

Did you know? Ten days before he was killed, Robert F. Kennedy Sr. went to a synagogue in Portland, OR and pledged everlasting commitment to Israel, including sending them 50 Phantom jets -- a major policy shift, essentially formalizing the US role as Israel's chief arms supplier

@anneapplebaum @ReichlinMelnick If you don’t think this administration is chock full of White “Christian” Nationalists, you aren’t paying attention. It’s time to clean house. Vote in adults who understand and will uphold our constitution, and the law.

JD Vance is heading to Hungary to endorse Viktor Orban. Here is a description of the corrupt regime, and the bizarre, post-reality campaign, that the US administration now supports: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…

@anneapplebaum Here in the U.S. there is debate about who will be the best candidate for the GOP for 2028. Both Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance are supporting Orban while neither has ever been to Ukraine to support Zelensky. If they can't stand for democracy they should not be a viable candidate.
