antisemitism
There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason. I mean, if you and I were in a line moving towards what we knew were gas chambers, I’d rather have a go at taking one of the guards with me; but they (the Jews) were always submissive.

Good question! I have heard that there are people who exchange money for labor, and I require money to purchase basic necessities such as food and shelter
IIRC that's a plot in Beasts of Burden. It's a good read regardless. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7703037-beasts-of-burden
Can you give me an example of a male professional athlete "becoming trans" and winning at their sport?
Remember kids, when brown people do something bad, it's terrorism. When white people starve an entire population after a failed occupation, that's just because we are very concerned about misogyny. Now, starving an entire country en masse has (to my knowledge) never caused a government to be overthrown, and in this case has no chance of improving the treatment of women in the country. Nor have women in Afghanistan ever asked for sanctions, nor do they support them now that they are in place. But don't let that fool you in to thinking we're doing it for any reason other than to help women in Afghanistan.
Before you respond, please take a look at my post and notice I said _nothing positive about the Taliban _. This is about the disingenuous use of women's rights to excuse and even celebrate mass starvation.
Because US & European sanctions are doing just that
[Edit: and the post is implicilty celebrating that with the "Taliban is broke" lines]
Are those graphs accurate? The modern one seems right, but I have no idea about pre-revolution France
Stop trying to make me like Trump, it won't work

> An investigation into illegal gun sales at Camp Lejeune uncovers a neonazi paramilitary group plotting to cause a blackout in the Pacific Northwest, assassinate the governor of Oregon, terrorize Black Lives Matter activists, and start a race war.
Podcast description:
> Weird Little Guys is a weekly show that gives you an uncomfortably close look at the worst people you’ve never heard of. Molly Conger takes a closer look at the far right extremists trying to unravel the fabric of our society. It turns out, they’re all just some weird guy.
Politics are about simple issues. Do we want to solve homelessness? Give people homes. Do we want to solve poverty? Give people money. Should we or shouldn't we support an ongoing genocide? Geez, I'm not a fucking brain genius, someone find an ethics professor.
The only complicated thing is getting people to understand this and act on it.
Of course, but in this specific case, we're talking about something that could literally mean rich people pay more money for the same thing.
Q: What did Marie Curie say to Albert Einstein?
A: At speeds approaching c, I still have one more Nobel prize than you
If this were just "it costs more to be rich" I'd be all for it, but more likely it's just about jacking up prices based on other factors. So it'll probably hit poor people, too, by charging more for things they want more, forcing them to give up other stuff they want less.
The song goes "Pinky and the Brain, one is a genius, the other's insane", which, if it implies anything, implies Pinky is the genius and Brain is the insane one
I spent way too long trying to figure out what "tgis" stood for
I got so much concern trolling for saying Biden was bad and should step down. People accused me of wanting fascism. They insisted I was naive and we should be standing behind Biden.
I just want to say to those people: you were wrong. Dumping Biden has wildly hurt Trump's chances, and you were the ones arguing against it.
Why not? They've been boosting a far-right, anti-Muslim Israeli extremist for years

The refusal to remove or demonetize extremist blogs means Substack is likely making money from them. It should stop.
- Substack's founder says it will not remove white supremacist and Nazi blogs from the platform.
- Some of these blogs have paying subscribers, which means Substack likely profits.
- The heart of the issue is not the free speech; it's the money.

The newsletter platform’s lax content moderation creates an opening for white nationalists eager to get their message out.
> The newsletter-hosting site Substack advertises itself as the last, best hope for civility on the internet—and aspires to a bigger role in politics in 2024. But just beneath the surface, the platform has become a home and propagator of white supremacy and anti-Semitism. Substack has not only been hosting writers who post overtly Nazi rhetoric on the platform; it profits from many of them.
