  1. This is the problem with decisions made by blood thirst, ignorance, emotional temper tantrums over reasoned strategy and moral behavior. For example, based on your inaccurate understanding of history or politics you adopt the easily debunked notion “Israel had the right to defend itself, that its position surrounded by mortal enemies required toughness.” In reality the surrounding states have repeatedly proposed peace and Israel continued to reject it for expansionist, aggressive actions and aims including an ongoing war against Palestine which it exploits the lack of public understanding of to produce crocodile tears and accuse the other side of aggression when they try to defend themselves from their onslaught. This misunderstanding lead to you previously calling for israel to commit war crimes and launch a war on Iran which you admitted was you getting caught up in emotions and demanding blood be spilled, a common result of a lack of background knowledge or mature critical thinking capacity. The result was a disaster as Israel sees collapsing approval and a radicalized Iran, and possible major damage to the world economy which makes both the above and many issues worse. All were mapped out and predicted by most serious analysts long before. It was a decision based on ignorance, supported by people with an inferiority complex and sadistic blood thirst to compensate for it by vicariously living through war crimes, without any hint of wisdom or principles, and naturally this lead to long term needless damage. No one can predict the future, but for a positive future effort needs to be made to listen to cooler heads with a moral backbone, not elevate ignorant people with no foresight or capacity to learn.
  2. No. After 9/11 there was still backlash and outrage internally in America when news of war crimes appeared and politicians had to frame their actions as at least in part helping the civilian population. It is more akin to long term dehumanization of a oppressed population built up over decades due to ideology rooted in victimhood and superiority.

  4. This is false, Israeli society including the left and center defended and excused the crimes and continue to in most regards. Polls find the overwhelming majority support or do not care about the damage towards civilians resulting from the IDF.
  5. Even if god snapped his fingers and made us into a literal matriarchy where every person in power was a woman, everything would be the exact same except maybe slightly more left leaning. The women in power now aren’t meaningfully different than the men.
  6. Get a bicycle, sell your plasma, get a online remote job.
  7. The guy in the MAGA discovers racism video is not MAGA. He was a famous never trump republican.
  8. How do you know it was out of selfishness and power hunger and not his interpretation of the purist way to actualize his understanding of Marxism, however wrong that was. Osama Bin Laden is different because he was a hypocrite in many ways. But a jihadist extremist could be doing it from a selfless egoless perspective if they genuinely think they’re following the doctrine for its own sake.
  9. Hasan is a Champagne socialist. He just adopts it as an aesthetic. He does this with many things. He used to mock people who said the left should reach out to young men, but post 2024 he was bringing it up like it was a genius insight he came up with, because it was in vogue.
  10. Read loving kindness by Sharon Salzberg
  11. Sam thinks the war with Iran is a war for “western civilization”
  12. It’s not even a good analysis. They don’t function the same way. Fuentes is far more strategic and calculating. He makes his shocking statements combined with exaggerations and humor as a purposeful strategy. But he holds grudges and like a porcupine stabs anyone that gets near him. Hasan says stupid things because he gets riled up and it blows up in his face. However on the other hand is better at forming connections and building inroads with institutions.
  13. Sam is an example of how you can be consistently biased and stupid, but if you do it while bashing trump and speaking calmly and softly and talking about mindfulness mainstream democrat leaners will still take you seriously. He was also whining about Mamdani being an Islamist, in reality Mamdani is a woke leftist. He’s exactly what Sam had called for in the past, Muslims reforming to be more liberal. But the truth is that’s not what he wants, he worships the state of Israel and wants anyone against it to be a target of the US government. Hes convinced the public is just biased against people like him and innately drawn to islamists which is why they’re turning on Israel. The actual reason is Sams delusions and positions are so idiotic and damaging to the world and country it forces people away from him. Most Americans would obviously be biased in favor of Sam and his ilk, secular Jews, than Islamic radicals and Iranian mullahs. It actually shows more about how appealing he is to the mainstream and left that a large segment of his base turning on him didn’t happen sooner. They stuck by him even as he endorsed starvation sieges and praised trumps foreign policy because of his deference to Israel. Sam to this day argues the IDF in Gaza fought more morally than the US in the war on terror. Despite being part of the intellectual dark web and bemoaning the left for running from conversations, and for then bemoaning the right for ignoring experts. He’s refused to talk to a single expert on the other side of this view. The closest he came was arguing with Rahm Emanuel, one of the most pro Israel democrats, after he mildly critiqued israel. Sam passionately supported the US attacking Iran and said the US would easily create a secular democracy in Iran. He now is surprised the public doesn’t understand how right and moral he was to endorse a war of aggression that massacred an entire elementary school of children and is wrecking the global economy for no coherent benefit other than the sadistic glee he gets from seeing civilians in Israel’s enemy countries being massacred. Some people say he changed, no he didn’t, at the height of the controversy around the US using torture in the war on terror he wrote an article endorsing it. Sam is the banality of evil and dunning-Krueger personified.
  14. Frankly I’m thinking the democratization of game knowledge just caused more harm than good. Guys try it, it doesn’t work for them, they get resentful. Most guys probably can’t learn game or even social skills on their own. It needs to be transmitted through coaching or at least learning with peers.
  15. Looks like he’s a federal agent or paid by someone. Explains a lot. - hasn’t meaningfully helped the movement - keeps trying to associate it with nazism - suddenly interested when he started having money and legal trouble - keeps trying to start feuds with influential Israel critics
  16. Which is one of the points I was making. She pursues the men who are the reason she calls for decentering because ideologically can’t accept what she claims to want isn’t what she seeks.
