  • Remember when Biden was "only one term" and "the most progressive president in history?" His entire career was on the record for us to see what a servile and slimeball of an insider he was. At least with Trump you know you're getting a bad deal, he wears his sleaze on his sleeve.

  • Liberals love the "Trump supporters are starting to come around and regret their ways" story. Every day for the next 1300+ days they will be posting this. In truth, the people who voted for Trump with enthusiasm (not just contrarianism, fatigue or ignorance) will find any way to spin his policies as a positive or a necessary evil. And frankly, anyone who voted enthusiastically for the Democratic party is capable of the same and demonstrated they too have no moral red lines.

  • Musk uses X livestream to amplify German far-right leader's views ahead of an election

    Jump

  • You seem to have misunderstood what I said. I'm not saying these terrible things are just being German. I'm saying that the current government and political class doing these terrible things view these things as "just being German" and define extremism as "being Islamic". I know that the majority of Germans are liberals, humanists, educated and anti-racist.

  • In Germany, they view extremist politics as anything to do with Islam, so if you promote the expulsion of Muslims or their reeducation or forcing them to sign pledges to Israel to become citizens, you're just being German.

  • Mohammed was subjected to simulated drowning, or "waterboarding", 183 times while held in secret CIA prisons following his arrest in 2003. Other so-called "advanced interrogation techniques" included sleep deprivation and forced nudity.

    Sounds totally legit and he should definitely be executed on that information despite the guilty plea he signed after 20 years of being tortured.

  • Why Greenland? Remote but resource-rich island occupies a key position in a warming world

    Jump

  • Maybe. But then again, I saw many "Trump things" become Biden and bipartisan things, from tariffs on China to Golan Heights annexation.

  • Why Greenland? Remote but resource-rich island occupies a key position in a warming world

    Jump

  • Those are fair points. Greenlanders who want independence generally want to remain a NATO member nation. The main issue is that they'll face political and economic pressure from the US. They have the population of Manhattan... Kansas! I don't see how they have a chance in hell at remaining sovereign if the US approaches them. It's one thing to have social welfare from a nation you have contentious relations with, another to be promised millions by US megacorporations and Congress.

  • Why Greenland? Remote but resource-rich island occupies a key position in a warming world

    Jump

  • I don't think so. I think that the old MAGAts running the Pentagon think it's a good idea and Trump is oushing the Overton window for them. I can easily see a path toward US incorporation or domination of Greenland that does from US-backed Greenland independence to strategic and economic alliance to US domination and eventual Peurto Rico kind of status. It would all be political. Denmark can't stop that actually.

    Trump is a fucking idiot. He should just proclaim support for Greenland's independence and offer the tiny population some great economic and diplomatic deals to get his way.

  • Why Greenland? Remote but resource-rich island occupies a key position in a warming world

    Jump

  • To play devil's advocate: Greenland has only like 60,000 people. It's bigger than the France, Germany, Switzerland, the UK, Belgium and Greece combined. It is also seeking independence because they aren't interested in being ruled by a random small European country that tried to sterilize them and steal their resources. Denmark has slowly caved-in to their independence demands because it wasn't interested in being a colonial power. Now it just holds on to it on behalf of NATO.

    From a nation-state's point of view, this is an unihabited land with era-defining strategic and economic significance.

    The US military has an impossible nut to crack with China. It recognizes that climate change will happen, but is going to position itself to come out ahead from it (if it doesn't destroy us all). It's not confident that it will maintain the global relevance it has today by the mid-21st century.

    Why not smash and grab while you can? Create Greater Israel, destroy Iran, take Greenland, control the Panama canal, and most likely give Australia nuclear weapons (and perhaps Japan but not likely). Tell the UN and other international institutions to fuck off if they stop serving your national interests. Turn Europeans into vassal states.

    That's the post-liberalism future lf America that I see.

  • New York Times rejects Quaker ad for calling Israel’s actions “genocide”

    Jump

  • It's not far right fascist. It is liberal Zionist. Liberals can and have been genocidal too. Liberal Zionism is incompatible with humanism or universal values.

  • Bias at NYT: Trans Former Employee Speaks Out

    Jump

  • A controversial aspect of A. G. Sulzberger’s vision for the NYT was reported on in a podcast deep dive into anti-trans bias at the paper by TransLash Media in 2024. TransLash reported A. G. sought to shift the paper’s reputation for being politically aligned with liberals in order to add more conservatives to the subscriber base. The link between the desire at the top to court conservative audiences and anti-trans bias in the coverage remains unproven, and the New York Times has declined to comment on the reporting about A. G.’s audience strategy, to TransLash then, or to Assigned now.

    It's not a huge mystery. Sulzberger is an old, white, Jewish man. He has read the room and realized that the progressive movement that formed and became prominent over the Obama years is a threat to billionaires, media moguls and the racist ideology of Zionism. The three things he best represents. That's why he filled the op-ed page with midwits like Bret Stephens.
