Don't you know crying Uncle is what libs do?

There was a point in early 2021 where this all could’ve been avoided. But the people who make the decisions decided against doing what was needed.

I mean how many fucking times do I say that and the audience is shocked shocked that I would ever think such a thing. "Realpolitik? Oh we don't do such things!"

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to “what would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and “what would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and “what would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.

NYC was at a standstill during it

And by lobbied, you mean

And girl's schools and civilians and water treatment plants and

From the river to the sea, bitch!

I stopped following Ben-Ghiat early on for that reason. Will dig more into Snyder.

^party of personal responsibility right here. "I alone am the pure volk! You are the traitors! I did everything right and will fight to the death to maintain that." 🙄

What a degraded shitlib.

It's totally traitor Democrats.

Who fucking gives a shit?

Wow, and I thoughts nerds defending Elon Musk were pitiable. You're really going for the gold here and I think you should have all the publicity!

He needs an excuse? Since when?

Snyder has never opined about Israel?

I have mental problems because I don't like the industry's current pretty boy? I don't care if he's popular or who he words with and nor should you. Who gives a shit? He's an anti-intellectual void. JFC get off social media and get some cinematic taste!

It's not about being self-righteous, you ignorant incompetent, it's firing back at a callow loser who has an incomprehensible fan base filled with drones just like you.

I hardly feel sorry for the Met with their moneyed galas, whiteness, western supremacy. and overblown productions. Smaller companies absolutely have my sympathy.

^this is so sad, this little peewee defense of a famous actor who should know better and does know better. Doesn't say anything good about you that you have the time not to mention the passion to argue this shit. Get some taste and priorities.

He looks, acts, sounds like a little twerp. His commentary is gleeful ignorance. I never got the hype.

Are you for fucking real being an adult man defending another adult man because he has zero awareness of other art forms? Honestly, I don't know which of you is worse.

^The title of your upcoming book

Is it "the most lethal fighting force in the world?" Glad we have that rn.

The gaslighting is profound. Both the Israeli government and the Trump regime continue to call on the Iranian people to rise up and change their government. Meanwhile, we are slaughtering them in the streets with indiscriminate bombing.

Podcast?

You've got to be kidding me...

It would be only fair to the reader to say frankly in advance that the attitude of any person toward this story will be distinctly influenced by his theories of the Negro race. If he believes that the Negro in America and in general is an average and ordinary human being, who under given environment develops like other human beings, then he will read this story and judge it by the facts adduced. If, however, he regards the Negro as a distinctly inferior creation, who can never successfully take part in modern civilization and whose emancipation and enfranchisement were gestures against nature, then he will need something more than the sort of facts that I have set down. But this latter person, I am not trying to convince. I am simply pointing out these two points of view, so obvious to Americans, and then without further ado, I am assuming the truth of the first. In fine, I am going to tell this story as though Negroes were ordinary human beings, realizing that this attitude will from the first seriously curtail my audience. W. E. BURGHARDT DU BOIS Atlanta, December, 1934

I'd forgotten how hard the preface to DuBois's "Black Reconstruction" (1934) went...and am saddened by how contemporary it still feels.

Israel has been doing this for many years

Al Jazeera cracked this "enigma":

This school had many daughters of military officers and soldiers. The idea was to attract them to the school, strike it to draw in rescuers and relatives, and then strike it again to kill them.
