Total proposed US military spending for FY 2027 is $1.5 trillion. Is there a reason why we're focusing on the defense system that costs us less than .3% of that? Instead of the actual bombing and drone striking that our own military does?

We should let anybody come into any space or movement they want. People should be allowed to call themselves anything they want, and if they don’t fit the definition, we should just change the definition. We should divorce all movements, spaces, art, culture, history, and language from their original context, because everyone needs to be allowed to be everything, and inclusivity is holiest amongst all things, even if that means the destruction of entire communities, political frameworks, neighborhoods, and artistic movements.

It's not merely that people falsely accuse the Jewish state of "genocide", but that the accusers enjoy doing it. It is a phenomenon known as "schadenfreude", a feeling of sadistic gratification that overrides rational thought.

The Delicious Accusation of Genocide

Only with Israel do people enjoy schadenfreude when talking about alleged war crimes

"Six days after October 7th, a genocide studies professor declared Israel's response "textbook genocide" — before a single independent casualty count existed and week before an IDF soldier entered Gaza. A year later Amnesty admitted, on page 101 of its own report, that it was rejecting the ICJ's actual legal standard because that standard "would effectively preclude a finding of genocide." Internal staff at Amnesty revealed the report was called "the genocide report" before the research even began. None of this happened to Myanmar, Syria, or Sudan — all more brutal, all with clearer evidence of intent, all treated with years of caution before anyone reached for the word. Only Israel gets convicted first and investigated after.

The article "The Delicious Accusation of Genocide," argues the missing variable is Schadenfreude — Richard Landes decade-old term for a Western appetite, rooted in real guilt over real complicity in the Holocaust, for pretending to discover that the survivors turned out to be no better than the people who nearly finished them off. It's not just that the accusation is false. It's that it's enjoyable — which is why it fills city squares and op-ed pages, and why no amount of counter-evidence ever gets it retracted."

'Destroy Israel' Banner Unfurled at Opening Ceremony for 'Running of the Bulls' Festival in Spain | Combat Antisemitism Movement

A massive banner reading "Destroy Israel" was unfurled at the San Fermín festival opening ceremony in Pamplona, Spain, on Monday. The banner

A massive banner reading “Destroy Israel” was unfurled at the San Fermín festival opening ceremony in Pamplona, Spain, on Monday.

The banner featured a crossed-out Israeli flag beside the slogan and the initials “EHKS,” referring to Euskal Herriko Kontseilu Sozialista, a Basque socialist organization.

Crowd members hoisted it above their heads in Plaza Consistorial before the chupinazo, the ceremonial rocket launch that opens the week-long festival, known worldwide for the “Running of the Bulls.”

The craziest part of this is that I believe in land back for the Basque people in Spain and France.

Make it make sense.

It's funny that Spain, land of Limpieza de Sangre, the Inquisition and brutal blood-soaked conquest has a sign in english because they wanted it to be seen around the world and they know that Spanish despite being spoken across the world, due to their own history of rapacious, fanatical colonization, would render such a sign less understandable to people who even Spain thinks really matter. You know. The English speakers. The people who sank the Armada. Spain's doing this shit because they're a flat-broke theme park for tourists, who desperately need to refocus popular antipathy towards their traditional scapegoat. I'd say I'd laugh if Israel started backing Basque separatists but I think Russia has Catalonia and other influence operations well in hand in that fading imperialist nation that decided to again blame Jews for its problems rather than reckon with their own blood-soaked historical ledger.

I wonder how voters would feel about DSA candidates like Abdul El-Sayed going to Senate when the co chair of the DSA stated that the Senate is an undemocratic institution and needs to be abolished and replace the presidency with a subordinate chosen by Congress, which will significantly reduce the American populace voice in the political system.

Democrats should be showing voters who the DSA really are so it might motivate some primary voters to get off their butts and stop these white grievance interlopers. Otherwise, they'll get to the feel the hot stove.

DSA will never overturn the government, tho, which is what it would take to get rid of the Senate. But it might help Democrats to highlight just how much they hate America.

I mean, they are voluntary. All you have to do to not pay them is renounce your citizenship and go somewhere else.

Granted, you need citizenship somewhere else to be allowed to do that, and good luck finding a somewhere else that doesn't require any taxes AND will let you be a citizen, but it is a fully theoretically doable thing you can do to not pay taxes.

If you have not renounced your citizenship and/or are still here, congratulations, by not renouncing your citizenship and/or staying you have volunteered to pay taxes and will be held accountable for that promise.

O-okay, let’s get into this, shall we?

*grumbling* Would you rather work for Lex Luthor or the Joker- *shouting* Lex Luthor, by like, a fucking mile!

Yes, yes, working for Lex Luthor is basically like being an Amazon employee that makes weapons of mass destruction, which is bad. Lex is like Donald Trump mixed with Mark Zuckerberg mixed with Jeffrey fucking Bezos, it’s not a great mix. He does not treat his henchmen well. Their lives still suck, and they are probably monitored on how long they take piss breaks for.

But let’s analyze what working for Lex Luthor is like versus the fucking Joker. With Lex you probably get a dental plan, a health plan, a paycheck, and the guy that you’re fighting really cares about human life. Superman will hit you just long enough to knock you out, so you’re not a treat, so he can stop the problem.

If you work for the Joker, your payment is you’re not fucking dead. You say one wrong thing? Bang. You don’t laugh at his jokes? Bang! You do laugh at his jokes? Bang! You think Joker gives a fuck about a henchman?

Who’s Lex Luthor’s right-hand-man? It’s a woman, you sexist, her name is Mercy, she’s awesome. Who’s Joker’s right-hand-man? Bob? Nah, he’s dead. Harley? Tried to kill her multiple times. Slappy? Who the fuck is Slappy?

The best case scenario of working for the Joker is that you fight the fucking Batman! And that presents its own fucking list of problems. If you stop Superman as a Lex Luthor henchman, Lex’ll be pissed, but he’ll be at least happy that Superman was caught. If you stop Batman as a Joker henchman, you better have a fucking coffin picked out yesterday.

This isn’t a fun hypothetical question, this is a screening technique that the doctors at Arkham use to determine your mental health! There is a right and a wrong answer to this question, and the correct one is Lex fucking Luthor. Thank you for coming to my fucking Ted Talk, have a nice day.
