Just read a passage from Hannah Arendt on how bouts of melancholia among genteel middle class Victorians anticipated the postwar pathologies of alienated mass society, and I feel like an idiot for not noticing this earlier.

@nikhil_palsingh He tried with Biden and Obama.. and they didn't. I think it's less ideological than pragmatic. Theyre both wise enough to take the warnings about Iran's response seriously and not wanna risk the consequences
English
Absolutely no reason to think Biden and Blinken and company would not have "reluctantly" joined an Israeli war with Iran. The messaging would have been different, that is all.

The “Joe Biden is a Decent Man” Crowd has always frightened me. Bc there is no amount of evil they wont support as long as his personal demeanor doesn’t seem as evil.

@arash_tehran how can you work at the atlantic under a boss who openly supports genocide? I like your work but this makes me doubt your integrity.

When Bernie Sanders said this man was “dangerous,” when so many of us warned about it, he knew something, we knew something.
Corrosive global effects of this presidency will be with us for generations

BREAKING: Trump says a 'whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will'.

I hope the hyperliterate scholar-leaders of the Islamic Republic can understand Trump's rhetoric as an expression of an oral culture's agonistic mentality, and that speech acts in the United States are not propositional; rather, they are demonstrations of power.

A viral track repeating just two words,“Yanis Varoufakis,” is spreading across Russia's clubland.
Created by a Moscow DJ, the tune has taken off among zoomers, with critics linking its appeal to a revival of 90s/early 2000s techno. The irony is that most listeners likely have no idea who @yanisvaroufakis is, they just like the rhythm of the name.

@nikhil_palsingh it's a bit like the whole taco discourse centrists love

Professor Pape is a good analyst. Yet, this framing tilts the scales toward ground war, without fully considering the potential costs of that war or its likely failure. I find this irresponsible.
Robert A. Pape@ProfessorPape
In my new piece in The New York Times today, I argue the Iran war has reached a point Washington still refuses to say out loud: either the U.S. escalates to a ground war—or Iran emerges as a new center of global power. Think about—what stops this future? nytimes.com/2026/04/06/opi…

Your twenties are for struggling against the hegemonic culture you've imbibed since you were a child. Your thirties are for communist study and development. Your forties are for revolution.

The level of cognitive dissonance among some Americans is staggering. They have no trouble understanding that when China extends loans to African countries in exchange for opening their markets, it is a strategy of domination and subjugation. Yet they are sincerely convinced that the Marshall Plan was some kind of entirely selfless philanthropic endeavor, and that the subsequent dominance of American corporations across European markets is purely coincidental, owed to nothing but the inherent superiority of their products. Incredible.

@cryptotechnocrt @IsabellaMWeber @grok The jump is sellers’ inflation" means that the sharp increase in corporate profits, particularly from 2003 onwards, was driven by firms using their market power to raise prices for consumers faster and higher than their actual costs were rising. (gemini).

This jump is sellers’ inflation.

utterly unsustainably rabidly insane. makes the Reagan years look like the New Deal era.

@maiamindel I say theyre not on the left not because I a leftist do not identify with them but because they have very much continued the Blairite cosiness with corporate power and the financial elite... blackrock, palantir, etc.. and ofc they sound like right wing nutters on immigration
English
@maiamindel has alienated much of their left-leaning base, who are moving to the greens
English
starting to think that the anti woke anti immigrant left is actually not an intellectually credible movement

Think we really underestimate how much hardline conservatism is linked to psychosexual impulses, because you just know he means the photos of Mahmood inspecting a concentration camp while dressed as a Value Range Nazi.

@jessesingal whats the source for the execution vans? I can’t find anything that looks reliable.
English
SMCP article on Hasan's visit to China. This is a country with mobile execution vans! The state kills people inside the vans with *no* transparency or due process! One out of a trillion human rights issues there and this ultra-outspoken audacious asshat is suddenly the model of humbleness. It's gross is what it is.

@ProfDBernstein @mattyglesias Do you think you would have been in favour of granting black people civil rights in America? Or do you think their rights are conditional on their supposed leaders saying things you find agreeable
English
@ProfDBernstein @mattyglesias Israelis brag about this; you equivocate and apologise. I’m not sure if you’re a useful idiot or just cynical and violently racist.

The thing that’s likely to change if Netanyahu loses power is policy toward the Haredi not policy toward the Palestinians.
