  • Um, it’s holds quite a lot of sway all the way to 2025, sadly. It’s not outdated because things are getting worse. In the 90s nobody would have agreed with that definition. Yasser Arafat was an extremely popular dude in the 90s. He won the Nobel peace prize because of how popular his work was in the 90s. But he would have been considered hands down antisemetic by today’s modern BS definition.

    Not everything that is bad is from the past. Some of these things are recent developments. The strangle hold of Israel on US politics is an increasing problem more than it is an outdated past problem.

    Also support for Lebanon was very popular in the 90s. Just watch a Kids in The Hall sketch. The 90s doesn’t deserve to be maligned with the assumption that all views from then must be worse than the views we have now. You clearly never lived in the 90s.

    LPT: Always say yes. Because you are if you have any sort of life. And if what they mention next is actually important you can change plans and you’ll get more of your deserved kudos.

    So just always say yes. Nothing bad can happen from it.

    Remember it like Ghostbusters. If someone asks you if you are busy… You say yes.








  • Came here to say this. It’s exactly when it became the department of defense that we had never ending war.

    Though I’d still like it to be named the department of defense and then actually do defense. Unless there is a threat of an American being attacked on domestic ground by a foreign power, this isn’t really the intended purpose of the military under our constitution.

    We should not “defend” our “interests abroad.” We shouldn’t have interests abroad. That’s also one of the founding ideas of this country. “Defend our interest abroad” is an intentionally vague euphemism for “if we didn’t use a euphemism and just told you in plain words what we’re doing you wouldn’t like it because what we are doing is killing people to protect the profits of a very tiny number of people whose company would lose profit if we didn’t.” If that’s not what that euphemism means they wouldn’t need a euphemism.




  • I agree with the general point of this post. But FYI any city that has put serious money into housing the homeless has found the homeless didn’t get housed. No amount of money ends famine in Africa and no amount of money eliminates homelessness.

    So yes, having national guards stand on street corners all day is a very stupid waste of money. But you can’t compare it to a fictional amount of money someone just made up on the spot. Because anytime someone has made up a similar figure, and then gotten it, that number didn’t do the thing they said it would. So I don’t think anyone has shown they know how to estimate that number.

    At the very least local municipalities shouldn’t be bankrupting themselves to build data centers for these people, to create 10s of on site jobs. There is a county in Louisiana that is paying $22 million per estimated job created.
