Raze

I heard someone say they used NLP to remove their desires. Most spiritual traditions say transcending sexual desire is one of the last things on the path that goes.

I think Trump will cause so much damage democrats will do well in 2026 and 2028. The issue is they’re going to try and maintain the establishment status quo and kneecap any progressive insurgency. You can see how they tried it with Mamdani, Cuomo had something like triple the amount of funding. They’ll be even more intense in races they view as more important like congress or presidential primaries. I think they’ll succeed, the progressive base really is not organized or coherent enough to challenge the establishment. The Bernie Sanders losses and the whole stuff and backlash seemed to have shattered them. While polls show democrats are unhappy with the party and leadership, the candidates they rate highly are different people with the exact same establishment views and positions.

This is a thread where we can post news about the Isreal and Palestine conflict. I am aware there is another thread but I don’t like the OP being biased and it’s already full of arguments. Israel announces largest West Bank land seizure since 1993 https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/03/22/israel-largest-west-bank-settlement-blinken-visit/

That is not and never was what that meant from the Palestine movement. The PLO’s original goal was a equal federation when they used that term. The only group using it as justification for elimination of a people is israel, the ruling likud party has that in its charter and it is what they are actively doing, killing, expelling, and subjugating all palestinians.

No, he is wishing death an on organization that has been accused of conducting a war of extermination by even the former Israeli prime minister. Smotrich and Ben Gvir are conducting that war of extermination. You have continued to defend and apologize for the IDF to enable them to conduct this war of extermination. Morally he is superior to you, as wishing death on war criminals is not as wrong as excusing their actions.

That’s been largely debunked https://time.com/3393442/cdc-rape-numbers/

It’s very dumb reasoning. Nothing redpill about it, it’s common now in feminist / woke spaces. For one, the main reason most men didn’t pass on their genes was because they died young, not because of women not picking them. Secondly, all enduring civilizations got around this survival of the fittest by enforcing some kind of monogamy. So if we do enter such a system it could cause massive damage to society if not collapse it altogether, as family stability would collapse and most men would have no buy in and thus be less motivated to maintain society. It also assumes that the men women end up choosing are morally or civilization-ally superior, not true. The traits that are the most sexually attractive or lead to the most sex, are not necessarily the traits that make people more moral or better for maintaining civilization. There is plenty of evidence of this. Young men with higher IQs tend to lose their virginity later. Men with higher dark triad traits tend to have more sexual partners. It also isn’t even functioning as some Darwinian thing because we have birth control, and still maintain some monogamous structures. So what con end up happening is the woman can’t get any of the most wanted men to commit, then as she gets older settles for some lower value guy, whose genes she will actually pass on, or more likely - not at all. Because either after having experienced those guys she massively overestimates her mate value and won’t settle, or she just gets too busy or too old to have kids even if she gets married. That’s another thing, fertility rates are plummeting, they’re only held up largely by people in cultures that maintain the traditional monogamous structures that value marriage and having children early. So the closest thing to a Darwinian thing happening here is not less fit men being weeded out, but rather any culture that normalizes this being weeded out because it can’t sustain itself.

Genocide is defined as “the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.” Israel has said the goal is to expel Gazans, multiple Israeli officials said things like “there are no uninvolved civilians”, and has blocked food and medicine, and destroyed most civilian infrastructure, indicating they’re trying to destroy Gazas population as a whole.

I also got this in my recommended a couple days ago. Strange.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/us/politics/iran-uranium-stockpile-whereabouts.html https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-06-22/ty-article-live/.premium/netanyahu-says-u-s-attacks-on-irans-nuclear-sites-were-fully-coordinated-with-israel/00000197-95b2-db6f-a9ff-b7fe0eec0000 Media will probably see this as a way to bait trump into more strikes by accusing him of failure.

Join the EPRC or the SEMA lab

The strike was extremely limited. It doesn’t seem to have even killed anyone. NYtimes reports a US official told them the site was damaged but not destroyed, and Iran claimed it evacuated all the uranium and tools. I think Iran will try and retaliate in some small way so as not to trigger a greater US reaction, and the US will avoid reacting to avoid a longer war. Maybe israel will cease strikes and the US will return to negotiating. But nothing has changed on that front aside from their project being set back, we don’t even know by how much. There demands very well will remain the same. The problem is, now israel is going to shift to demanding further strikes to ensure the facilities or destroyed and striking wherever they suspect the uranium was taken too, and if Iran decides to just rebuild and actually go for a weapon this time israel will demand even greater US intervention and we are at square one.

But that’s not why they attacked, israel has admitted they don’t believe they can destroy irans nuclear capability and are asking for US intervention. But now even US officials are saying they are unsure if the US can destroy the facilities https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/19/trump-caution-on-iran-strike-linked-to-doubts-over-bunker-buster-bomb-officials-say So it’s more plausible this can result in Iran trying to attain a nuke itself as a later date, as well as other countries in the region as that’s shown to be the only deterrence since the US and Israel didn’t uphold the JCPOA.
