Ok well doesn't sound like you listen to them. Clearly the difference was Matt's disengagement from spectacle of politics vs. Virgil's love of wonkery/elections/etc. That's why chapo is still more just shooting the shit and bad faith has very standard political podcast formula but from the left.
Hopefully he'll come back as guest for beltway garage for midterms or something.
I think it's also about leveraging people's sentiment about the holocaust. So they can frame "denying the right to exist" as a continuation of anti-semitism
yep suspended here for telling someone who didn't think it was a problem to bomb children that he deserved to have his house bombed, i.e. an objective truth
whoever manages these policies are the stupidest people alive.
Trying to let Jewish people live in countries that are not majority Jewish has universally ended badly for them.
What?? Are you stuck in mid 20th century? Do you honestly think this is the case in 2021 in N. America and W. Europe? Oh did you mean to replace the word "Jewish" with "Muslim"? Because then it would be on the money.
It’s not unreasonable to give them somewhere to live
Yes it is. This whole conflict is rooted in the fact you can't give away other people's lands to another entire ethnic group. There are no chosen lands. There are no chosen peoples.
a one state solution eliminates the point of Israel in the first place
You know you're giving it away when you say this right? The "point" of Israel is to have a fascist ethno-state, yes.
the democrats watched for four years as israel-palestine became an OBVIOUS right-left issue, and they still haven't figured out how to deal with it.
but because they're a conservative party at heart, they can't handle true change. not even to foreign policy but to political infrastructure. they're so scared of losing donors and voters but have no fucking imagination how to convert the RIGHT MORAL position into winning. so many voters are begging them to stop this fascist shit and they can't do it
A deeply stupid man is widely considered to be a genius inventor entrepreneur and happens to be the richest person in the world.
At some level at least that's pretty fucking funny. He says he works 20h days while posting nerd memes for 50 year olds. You gotta find some humor in it
the headline is mostly just needlessly provocative. it's just about why people have kids when they do, and how that's changed, plus of course a thoughtful personal story.
but that headline does kind of hit on her self-obsession on twitter I think. she's so outwardly proud of herself for her religion, for being a youngish mother, for being from republican parents, for being from texas, on and on. even her tweets about her cute kids often are all humblebrags about how great a parent she is. I know this is really just how twitter works and I'm a cynical asshole but still it's a lot
