Re: On conservative and libertarian stupidity

Elon Musk is sitting on Xi poo's lap trying hard not to offend sugah daddy. While claiming AI is an existential threat and that "we" better escape planet earth with rockets to The Promised Lalaland somewhere in interstellar space. What reasons are left to still take him seriously. Conserva...

Re: On conservative and libertarian stupidity

Decent rightwing people tend to avoid making fights in politics and culture personal, while the extreme/indecent left have made it their business model to attack personally. A relatively small group of intolerant attack dogs has thusly managed to be on top and dominate. Call them woke, post-modernis...

Re: Israel

Iran will continue what it was doing for decades already. As I said nothing changed; from their proxy locations in Syria they will make sure no peace is ever possible and when the Israelis decide certain targets in Syria need to be bombed, rocketeered or snipered they will do do so. The Mad mad mad ...

Re: Argentina

All my Jewish friends are paranoid about Chabad. You can't hide behind your Jewish friends any longer and do the paranoia for you. The Israeli ones think it is a cult, and they resent the Chabadniks being exempt from military service but legislating that the secular and reform Jews do all the fight...

Re: Israel

Wouldn't be surprised if adding all the dead and injured people plus material damage per war, they would all come very close. Only difference would be duration: from short and intense... to loooong and protracted. More killing i.e. enough killing and destruction are the metric by which wars end eve...

Re: Argentina

Milei’s obeisance to Chabad is a huge red flag. As for the hair, I never thought of Boris Johnson as being a fashion leader but there it is. I'm not very privy to the Chabad so no red flag for me yet.* Here the question is if his economic reforms work. *I measure any religious or philosophical doct...

Is this the way Africans are now getting back at their new colonizers by humiliating them at home in front of live camera's?? Looks like it :D Their body language might be on purpose: "we are not bought or coerced, we do this as a friendly gesture to the CCP whome we deeply love and respect!&qu...

Re: Israel

The appropriate response to Iran's (failed) ejaculations is anyone's guess, but of course Israel not showing its cards is the right thing to do. It leaves all options open and your enemies in anxious anticipation. Is anyone in need of de-escalation? Since all people directly involved and those allie...

Re: China

Maximum control and maximum freedom. Only an emperor without cloths can make it work. In competative environments losers are essential. Without them no winners. An admittedly very low res impression I have, is that in Chinese culture only winning is acceptible. To lose, to fail is deeply shameful an...
