I wish I could link you the AI-translated hitler speeches, but they seem to have been removed from youtube.

Apparently a bunch of libs were going “Hey wait he was right” instead of “Holy shit I literally speak of immigrants and trans people the same way hitler spoke of jews”

The random meandering into completely unrelated topics is also fitting.

Blaming the people for the predictable effects of the dem’s actions deflects away from only entity that had the power to change the outcome and the only entity that will have the power to change this in 2026.

It’s not constructive to go “Damn, I sure wish genocide didn’t decrease turnout for the dems”

Just like in 2016, the dems deluded themselves into blaming the voters (specifically black people and/or the left) and bernie sanders instead of themselves, and we are watching them do it again in real time.

I just have a fear I might mess up somehow and start a fire or something

It takes some effort to start a fire. Most oils flash points are >600 F, which you might get a pan to to sear a steak, but to heat a pan of oil for deepfrying or something to >600 F, which would be a dangerous situation, requires you to continue heating it after it started billowing smoke between ~350F and ~525.

In any case, if you manage to have an oil fire, say by spilling some on the burner, just let it burn out if it’s a small amount or turn off the heat and throw a towel over it if it’s like a cup’s worth.

Minor burns aren’t uncommon when you’re learning, but that’s just a very quick way to learn “wrap the handle of the cast iron you just took out of the oven with a towel so you don’t grab it like a moron” or “use tongs to place things on hot oil so it doesn’t splatter on your hand”

Biden sent Netanyahu every weapon he was allowed to, and had the military protecting Israel.

If the Biden admin didn’t want Netanyahu to do this, they could have just not actively supported his efforts to do so.

This was obvious to everyone from the beginning.

Even blue MAGA were doing “But you still need to vote biden, even if the dems never stop facilitating genocide” since Oct 8th, because deep down, they understood the dems wouldn’t listen, even if it was going to cost them the election.

I voted, but I have no power to change the outcome of the election. Only the democrats had this power, the blame lies only with them.

Genocide lowers turnout. Saying you’re going to appoint republicans to your cabinet lowers turnout. Pledging to shut down the border and build the wall lowers turnout. Means testing all of your campaign promises lowers turnout. Running tough-on-crime campaign ads raises turnout FOR THE REPUBLICANS!

We’ve been yelling that the dems will lose if they continue to go right for the last 4 years, but the dems either chose to move to the right on every issue either knowing it would lower their performance, or ignorant because blue maga like you helped shield them from the reality unfolding infront of all of us. I don’t know which is more damning.

you have been very intolerant in lots of cases. U have called for acts of violence to be enacted.

Violence to stop the harm of a marginalized group isn’t the same as violence by a hate group against a marginalized group.

Or do you think fighting a transphobe is the same as a transphobe hatecriming a trans person?

I thought we’d established, tolerating nazis is intolerance.

Those people are free to organise.

Nah fuck that. Letting them organize makes a space hostile to the groups they are intolerant of. By that logic, hate groups like atomwaffen is just fine, and the hate crimes their members carry out are entirely unrelated to the organization that radicalized them and gave them the information to carry it out.

as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion

Weird cults obviously fail this test.

Enabling intolerance is itself intolerance.

A society that lets racists, homophobes, and child abusers organize is less free than one which breaks up such organizations and reeducates its members.

They’ve been saying that for the last year. And bombing the west bank. Hell they bombed Bethlehem on Christmas.

The democrats can not fail, they can only be failed.

They challenge the party the same way Heaven’s Gate, the Laroushites, or other weird right-wing cults challenge the US state; by encouraging destructive behavior like denying life-saving medicine to children, running a pyramid scheme, doing a bunch of crimes, financial and otherwise.

I linked the wikipedia article of the teachings of the weird cult to show they were never a non-political group, and its suppression is a good thing, rather than the evil ccp trying to crush benign movements because they hate freedom or whatever.

But why let reality get in the way of the china bad circlejerk?

Falun Gong

Suppressing homophobic, antivax racists who want to return China to the era of foot binding is good actually.

radio free asia

lmao. Students aren’t going on bikerides to show that they hate the government.

It was a meme that ended up with too many bicyclists on the street that pissed off car drivers and local businesses.

I can’t find any chinese sources about the ban, but I only searched english language chinese sources.

Lefties had nowhere else to go

See, you’re working under the idea that everyone votes for the candidate that’s ideologically closest to them.

By that understanding, running against the furthest-right candidate possible, and triangulating yourself to be 1 inch to the left of them should get you the entire electorate, except for the tiny percent of people who are more rightwing than Donald Trump.

This is observably false, hence why democrats eat shit when they move to the right of their base as they did in 2016 and 2024 (and in most midterms).

In reality, every time you compromise a position or means-test a policy, you lose votes. “New parents will get $5,000” will always perform better than “new parents who fill out a this form and are making less than $50K and whose SSN is a prime number may be eligible for a tax break up to $5,000”

Anybody who likes the idea of parents getting money will support the first, and anybody who opposes it will oppose both. But there’s a big chunk of people who will like the first, and won’t care about the second.

Same reason “Free healthcare” will always perform better than “subsidies for health insurance for pell grant recipients who open a business in an minority neighborhood that operates for at least 2 years”

IQ only measures how good you are at taking IQ tests. They recalibrate score every year to maintain the same distribution of scores within a year. (they change what each question is worth so every year 50% of tests get above 100, 40% of tests are between 85 and 100, 40% of tests are between 100 and 115, etc.)

The impact is that they have to make the tests harder every year. If you applied modern standards to 1920, the average score would be ~70.

What makes more sense to you, that 8/10 people today would be considered near-geniuses 100 years ago, or we got much better at taking IQ tests?

Where do you see frequent trash cans and people regularly throwing trash out in the street?

Typically trash in the street means you don’t have enough trash cans, or a bunch of youth or homeless people whom society is failing.

Despite being a video-essay channel, this channel has good economic analysis of the conflict.

tl;dr current indicators suggest they will continue to increase production as they build domestic production to deal with sanctions, but if it continues for more than a couple more years, it will decrease 10 year growth projections.

Dick Cheney, aghast that Americans could allow someone as Islamophobic as Trump to represent them.

If you understand it as a trial where a president who has done something wrong is held accountable according to the law, then no that’s idealist nonsense.

If you understand it as a mechanism that allows 50+ senators to replace the president with the VP if they want to, yes.
