This is a moronic take. Many people I know (& myself) were generally supportive of Israel (including after October 7th) until Israel decided to 1) decide to continue fighting a seemingly endless war in Gaza (while carrying out such a war in an indefensible way) & 2) demand that

This articulates perfectly the evolution many on the right are experiencing regarding Israel. The support was there. The horror of Oct 7 was real. But that goodwill has been exhausted by the horrors in Gaza and by demands for the US to pursue open-ended wars on Israel's behalf.

Utterly bizarre and deranged behaviour x.com/hoyer_kat/stat…

"Have you considered that the Comms may not be the issue and you may need to try adopting policies people like" "no"

Americans are wonderful people, and it is a shame how our ruling class would gladly exchange them for cheap foreign labor.

Didn’t realize that in 2020 Lisa Cook “joined a Twitter mob pushing for University of Chicago economics professor Harald Uhlig to be removed as editor of the Journal of Political Economy because he criticized the defund-the-police movement.” wsj.com/opinion/sudden…

Starmer is such an interesting character because of how uninteresting he is. No favourite book, doesn’t dream, never thought about if he’s an introvert or extrovert. His desert island discs was ‘artists for grenfell’ and his book - an atlas. The art on his office wall

Oh okay

The irony of this is that we already have “an apparatus of unchecked state power” in the form of the (GWOT-era) national security state, and Lindsay (& his friends) routinely attack the opponents of the national security state (especially on issues such as Mideast policy).

Right-wingers saw USAID subsidizing cultural degeneration around the world and still come to the conclusion that libertarianism is at fault for the destruction of America

Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend and speak at NatCon tomorrow. A few weeks ago, I collapsed in my house after a sinus surgery and was taken to the ER. While there, I received a CT scan which found a mass in my chest that was later determined to be a thymoma - a type of

Given that the IJN didn’t intend on doing anything similar to Operation Ten-Go until the Emperor asked them to, and thus it was entirely possible that IJN Yamato would ended up in a similar state, one has to wonder what the USN would have made of her, if they had captured the

The issue with this is that in case of England, there are not nearly as many monks as there were before the Reformation, and it better to leave the ruins where they are than rebuilt a building that probably would be sold/abandoned by the Church as upkeep wouldn’t be cheap.

Worth noting that the Founding Fathers were far more hostile to Parliament and members of the British cabinet than George III. If anything they felt that George III was too weak for not overruling his ministers. The Founding Fathers would have found "No Kings" laughable

“Checkmate Republicans, I found an out of focus picture of the president”

Increasingly feels like the Tories final term in Downing Street… an unpopular government spends several years conducting random reshuffles while time slowly counts down to the next election

Considering what the universities did to the humanities, my opinion on this is changing. Literature was certainly better off before the academy laid claim to it. Philosophy too. Foreign-language departments are a serious loss, however.

Sometimes it amazes me to reflect how in the past decade the whole intellectual initiative in American public life has passed over to the critics of liberalism and its more logically consistent child, progressivism. What new ideas have those frameworks generated in recent memory?

People are attacking Trump for it, but the more rational cause of this was the failure of the LCS concept & the LCS’s replacement undergoing a long development process. As such, the Norwegians ordered ships from Britain that will be delivered faster.

The death of Montcalm and Wolfe — both leaders of opposing armies — in the battle outside Quebec is one of the most poetic occurrences in military history. If it had happened in antiquity, modern historians would assume it was an embellished detail.
