The Israelis are delusional and wrong about regime change. It’s strange that critics of Israel seem to be so heavily invested in Mossad’s infallibility
Well, between those pager bombings, and the precision of the recent strikes that they're bragging about, few people are putting Mossad's competence in doubt. It's their good faith that people are doubting, and this is the case here as well. I don't think they're delusional, I think they know full well regime change without ground troops is impossible, but they're trying to lure the US to put said boots on said ground via the Sunk Cost Fallacy.

7 zillion people do far trashier things every week. Is it because he's rich? We abandoned the whole "leading by example" idea for aristocrats ages ago, and Bezos is no aristocrat.

Is it a reasonable requirement to declare that all of society's problems are caused by a group of genetic untermenschen? I feel like asking for another Bukele is at least on-par with it under current conditions, and the latter is quite a bit more humane.
I haven't watched any of it myself
Thank god. I understand watching the British royal wedding (well... okay, actually I don't), but come the f- on, these aren't the royals. Why is anyone paying attention to them?
Male sexuality is a lot simpler than female sexuality.
Ah, a good thesis for the Quarterly Journal Of No Shit, Sherlock. Yes, Bezos Bad, and like I said before it's not all the women's fault.

At the risk of doing a "real X has never been tried", I think you were missing the "or GTFO" part.

Much like I urged to give the El Salvador solution at least the good ol' college try before cursing entire peoples down seven generations, I'd urge to at least try "assimilate or GTFO" (don't know if there are any success stories as stark as El Salvador, though). People respond to incentives.
Framing this as a win for principled anti-intervention rightists is ridiculous.
Who said anything about a "win for principled anti-intervention"? They wanted to do much more than this, but didn't.
Ground invasion of Iran is impossible and externally-forced regime change is impossible without ground invasion.
I'm sure all these calls for regime change were just kayfabe, as were Israeli attempts to break the cease fire.

I liked his books too, but let's face it, it's slop. The most valuable skills you learn in school is grinding and discipline, and reading slop is inherently not suited for that.

I know what I saw on my timeline. And Trump didn't keep his intervention limited because everybody was so supportive of it.
I don't know what your second paragraph is in reference to
Really? You never ever heard any public official or intellectual from a particular political side being evasive on the question?

As for the "political dynasty" stuff, what makes Trumpism so unique is the cultism
At this point this can only be called projection. Half of his base had their fingers on the trigger in case he listened to the neoccons, and went to war with Iran.
Compare and contrast to refusing to answer basic questions like "what is a woman?" for fear of how the rest of the cult will react.

I also said that there is a LGBTQ+ page.
I think that's called "burying the lede". "There being a LGBTQ+" page does not give full picture of what he supports and plans to do.
I'm not sure what the point you're striving to make here is? That he's not campaigning on lunchbucket stuff?
No, the thing you said just before that: "seems like a specific attempt to do what many class-first leftists have proposed doing"
The last person I'd trust on giving a honest estimation on what the particular place of importance of trans policies is in his current campaign is an one-issue anti-trans campaigner like Billboard Chris.
You know you can just listen to what the guy says himself in the clip, instead of relying on said campaigner's summary?

Maybe! Go craft a message that will be listened to, perhaps even get your Elite Human Capital buddies to help you spread it, and show us how it's done.

The queries fetching the content are finally officially unretarded, which had a few fortunate downstream effects for things like fetching tweets with tweets along with their responses. Managed to move on to unretarding the import queries as well as fixing some minor bugs.
How are you doing @Southkraut?

Mamdani's platform, as presented, seems like a specific attempt to do what many class-first leftists have proposed doing and run on lunchbucket issues instead of idpol.

I would say it's a massive rabbit-hole with the outcome being far from certain. How do you determine "equal protection under the law" for people who aren't the same? We're kind of debating it with the trans stuff right now. Does a man have a right to women's facilities, explicitly demanded by various "equality acts", for example? Some people say "yes", other's say "men are not women, so a law demanding the creation of women's facilities does not demand that men are given access to them". I would say that whatever the answer is, it's not written in the constitution, and we should stop pretending that it is.
Who promised you this? I wouldn’t even want it that way.
Seems like an implication of "is contradicted by dissenters buying a piece of media to fight back against the mind control". A handful (effectively: 1-2 that are very close to each other) of ideologies dominating the mass-media ecosystem seems to fit right into my model, and "dissidents" buying a SocMed is far from a contradiction.
Politically, or, consumerismically?
The latter is a more obvious example, I think
For everyone else, they enjoy ads, it’s like good art to them, they’re more than happy to reward companies that evoke such joy with their purchases.
Well, I will give you points for originality, I haven't heard that theory before. I kinda doubt that personally. I know there are some ads that are fun and creative, but the general sentiment towards advertising seems to be negative, and regarding even the positive ones, I don't think I heard anyone tell me they want to reward the company for a particularly well-made ad.

As I understand it, Virginia v. Loving says yes
No, I don't care about rulings, I mean the actual text of the actual constitution.
The point is, 'mind control theory' in its strong form, is contradicted by dissenters buying a piece of media to fight back against the mind control.
I don't see that as a contradiction. For one, the purchase was kind of a fluke to begin with, the way I remember it, the TDS brigade was convinced they were owning Elon buy forcing him, via the court system, to buy it. Other than that, while competing interests may balance themselves out, the "balance" is far from guaranteed, I for one don't think we have a neat equal distribution of ownership of mass-media between various ideologies.
Are we just haggling about the price? I could just as easily say "Sure, you can fool some people some time, but you can't fool all the people all the time....".
We very well may be. I don't hold a maximalist position. Look, here's me arguing for limits to the power of propaganda while expressing sympathy to the position that "propaganda works".
Though to point out it's something more than haggling over the price: if mind control works only on a "some of the people some of the time" basis, why would you say so much money is being spent on marketing regularly and continuously?

Is the right to marriage written into the constitution?

But what they ultimately wanted to achieve, more than anything else they ever wanted before, was preventing Trump from getting elected, twice, and they failed at that. In that light, mind control does not work at all. I
Do you disagree with the theory that Elon Musk buying Twitter was a pivotal moment for Trump's second run?
I don't think HBD or lab leak theory or grooming gangs or trans scepticism or any other dangerous idea has been successfully suppressed by information control
I'll refer you to one of my previous comments:
Sure, they can't control the entirety of society at will, 100% of the time, but engineering does not require 100% accuracy, just predictability.
There’s this contradiction at the heart of anti-establishment movements – according to their own central myth, they are doomed rebels against the all-powerful, entrenched evil forces of the establishment, the cathedral, the megaphone, the elites, and so on.
I don't believe that, but I also think that the art of sausage-making involves a lot more than most people (including me) have stomach for.

How can you hate that guy?
Both sides are to blame here. Socialists were, and still are, marketing their economic system as "let's do what Denmark did".
