It doesn’t have to stop. They just have to say it will be stopped, or even partially stopped, if they don’t listen.

@Leo Gura It may have been a typo but I do like the notion of “Chineses” rather than Chinese. From what I understand China is one of the most surveillance heavy countries in the world, utilizing facial recognition cameras, and the population is eager to inform authorities of any suspicions. Wouldn’t it be very difficult to conduct such activity specifically in china?

Dude. That trade is not stopping. People doing trade don't care about Palestine. If anything, you should expect things to get worse, not better.

You can become an art critic. Post yourself on social media reviewing different type of animes and video games that you enjoy. Plenty of people make a living this way.

Oh yeah fair, there are some $20 books that are goldmines. Have you heard of the Alex Hormozi book series? I got the first one earlier in the year so good. The shocking part to me is the lack of awareness that it's a dead end. Especially in an era of AI, I think basically all criminals will be caught in the next 30 years. Perhaps it's more exciting for them than sitting down and reading a book on business.

Why frame it as serving? It sounds awful. Just a simple thought showing you care.

Yeah, especially in the music thread. I guess it happens when there's a ton of YT videos happening all at once. It's funny when it shows I shared someone else's song. That's relativity!

1) The terror that caused the war on terror happened because of US support for Israel, israel never actually helped with that, their most significant assistance was joining the US in helping Syrian rebels topple Assad and some rebel groups were closer to the terror than Assad, Jake Sullivan himself said the US was on the same side as Al Qaeda. Iraq, Libya, Iran, and Syria had nothing to do with Al Qaeda terror on the US, yet the war on terror took that direction targeting them because it served israel or US hegemony in some form. There is no rational reason for the US to be at war with Iran other than Iran has issues with Israel. Iran has proposed peace deals repeatedly and has only ever directly used force in response to attacks. The US also can’t long term keep attacking it otherwise we’d have economic consequences due to its ability to attack trade and energy infrastructure. The future for US power is in Asia, Israel constantly dragging the US to the Middle East harmed the empire. 2) Young people already soured on israel and don’t have the same pro-Israel news sources, so even if that happens I don’t think it’ll have the same effect. Even if it does long term it will just delay the same trend which already occurred, the US public support for israel after 9/11 was huge but it still ended up turning away after two decades. 3) Without US or European trade Israel would be economically devastated. If the US and Europe start sanctioning them over specific actions related to Palestine it would not be economically feasible to continue it. Israel is a highly economically stratified society with a large amount of debt. It would go the way of Rhodesia if it weren’t for the large amount of international cooperation, and the wealthy segment of the Israeli public wouldn’t accept that, they’d be forced to either vote against it or leave.

@Leo Gura I appreciate your recent blog on Marxism. If you want a really rock solid understanding of Marxist economics, then I highly recommend you read volume I of Capital. The link below is where I bought my copy, its considered the most "pure" English translation. This edition cannot be found on Amazon, and if you buy from Penguin Publishers or something like that, then its not going to be considered as true to the original translation. https://www.intpubnyc.com/browse/collected-works-of-marx-and-engels-vol-35-vol-01-capital/ But I definitely 100% recommend you read Capital, and from that specific link. Its absolutely worth your time and will immensely boost your understanding of commodity production and how does a commodity get its value.

1) Israel support in US is not going away fundamentally because Israel is an ally in the war on terror and Iran. 2) More terrorism will come on US soil and Americans will be pissed against Arabs and supporting Israel again. 3) Israel can sustain ethnically cleansing Palestine forever. That is their plan. That is what will happen. They don't need US money. But the US wants Israeli money. 4) Europe and America will not stop selling weapons to Israel. Nothing is going to change on this issue. This has been happening for 60+ years.

I have an exciting update about this post from a week ago: The magic cream is called Progesterone. It is prescribed 2-3 years after starting feminizing hormone therapy. I am 2.5 years in. It is supposed to round my breasts, improve my sleep, and improve my depression. Scientific evidence is limited and mixed. Just gotta see what happens. I was given a compounded cream since the capsule version has peanut in the ingredient. I have a ton of food allergies, and peanut is a big one. Even though I technically can have peanut oil in the roasted cashews I eat, my provider is avoiding it to be on the safe side. Since it is custom made, it is expensive, but I am open to investing in it and see what happens. It is $80 for a 3 month supply. In any case, I can really excited to be rubbing my chest every day. This completes my hormone stack. Progesterone, Estrogen, and Testosterone. PET

The moment the US or Europe gives them the slightest actual pushback they immediately relent historically. They simply can’t sustain what they’re doing unless the US and Europe lets it slide.
-
That won't solve anything. This problem will continue as long as Israelis don't change, and they won't. You are not going to stop Israel with words and sanctions. They are too ideological to care.
-
Once the boomers aren’t a significant block anymore, it’ll be literally a 80 - 20 issue in the US and Europe. Literally all that has to happen is the US stops vetoing at the UN and Europe follows international law. Let alone if the US starts following it which democrat voters are pushing for now.
-
@Raze You didn't contradict what I said. Palestine will continue to be blocked, so terrorism it will be. Israel chose the terrorism path a long time ago.
-
I don’t think so. The reason terrorism happened was because the US and Europe blocked all legal and diplomatic means of pushback for nearly a century at Israel’s behest. Since public opinion has shifted this is starting to change. Terrorism isn’t necessary when political solutions are available. And before you deny it, studies on the history of terrorist groups found in almost all cases the militant activities were stopped when they were allowed into the political system and turned into political parties or their grievance was politically addressed.

You can makeup any fact and twist things to justify your position.

It eventually becomes unfulfilling like any consumptive practice. One great thing about making art is that consuming entertainment becomes inspiration for your art rather than just being pure consumption. Trust me, I've been there, eventually you will be so inspired you'll be fully motivated to start creating.

How so?

Being nice is generally not attractive to a woman if the way one goes about it is self-referential. As I was saying the other day if you were truly at the service of the other (which masculinity is about according to psychoanalysts) you couldn't be "too nice" it’s impossible since you would be giving exactly what is called for. Most people here will intuitively view him as a "nice guy"/ as cringey indeed because in his behaviour he is no longer in a "penetrating" position, no longer truly responding to his wife as a body and an individual - as an ego - but on the contrary it is the one that asserts itself.

This is my plan for the next month or so, I will completly allow myself to experiment, I will do everything I can think of and make videos, art, music, everything in between and just be free in my expression. Then I will see if it leads me somewhere or not, then I will just keep experimenting or if I feel drawn back to magic, I will go to that.
-
No, not all. I can have oranges. But my options are still very limited. No worries, though. I am like that bushcrafting guy in Leo’s recent blog post. Making use of limitations. *writes this post while snacking on potato chips* Edit: Ooo, another option I can have is the unlimited salad at Olive Garden. Just gotta avoid the carrots. Sooooo good!

They have been doing that since the 1970s. Netanyahu has been fighting terrorists his whole career. Terrorists killed his brother. Nothing particularly new here. Arabs have been hijacking planes since the 1970s. We expect that after Gaza there will be more terrorism for a decade to come. The revenge for Gaza has not even begun.

1) This is not just my opinion. There's measurements of this stuff: https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2025 2) Epstein is a very unique scandal which is an outlier and should not be used to muddy the water. 3) China does not have a free press. Of course they are not going to give you news of their internal corruption. If Epstein happened in China, you wouldn't even know about it. You don't think there's a million kids being prostituted in China? Of course there are. The Chineses are as horny and immoral as anyone else.
