Whatever happened? A breach in the very unity of life, a biological paradox, an abomination, an absurdity, an exaggeration of disastrous nature. Life had overshot its target, blowing itself apart. A species had been armed too heavily – by spirit made almighty without, but equally a menace to its own well-being. Its weapon was like a sword without hilt or plate, a two-edged blade cleaving everything; but he who is to wield it must grasp the blade and turn the one edge toward himself.

For god's sake, don't harass away every leftist who comments here, this place could use some more ideological diversity.

Close enough to count, imo, and I say that despite being sympathetic to his point of view.

Seconding this opinion. This is an escalation in the shift in power from governmental to extra-governmental corporate/billionaire power. I consider it an obvious step to our inevitable dystopian cyberpunk future.

Personally, I am in favor of any candidate who would decline to build a nine digit pile of skulls.

I propose an alternative theory: the euphemism treadmill is not an attempt to destigmatize bad things via language. There's a little of that, sure, and I would imagine that's often the source of new euphemisms. But the primary purpose of the euphemism treadmill, the reason that new phrases successfully memetically propagate, is signalling tribal allegiance.

Clothes do not protect you from boiling water; they actually aggravate scalding injuries by holding the water next to skin.

All US military, police, and firefighter physical fitness standards are lower for women than for men. That, if nothing else, is the lowering of the standards. They're supposed to be doing the same job so the standards should be the same, but women can't do the physical parts of the job as well because of biology. So, like so many other things in our society, the standards are lowered for women so that the outcomes are "equitable".

That indicates to me that to you, the problem is not that the things you allege jews are doing are "hostile, subversive, and self serving," as you put it. If that was the issue, you wouldn't want gentile whites doing those things either. It seems clear that your issue is the who/whom, not any principled objection.

If you simply dropped all the Jews in government and media, i.e. replaced Biden's virtually-entirely Jewish cabinet with Indians, and replaced Israeli Nationalist influence with Indian Nationalist influence, replaced the "I" in AIPAC with India, and replaced the Holocaust narrative with some Indian-derived foundational myth of twentieth century morality, I would have the same problem with it.
If you did the same thing, but instead of jews or indians it was gentile whites, would you have the same problem with it?

No, but it's a pretty good sign they aren't actually your enemy either.

So basically (if you can forgive what might be a slightly crude summary) it's that they're successfully engaged in ethnic organization and politics, and you see that political action as being detrimental to your own ethnic block?
Is your objection that the jews are doing these things at the detriment to your ingroup, or is your objection to doing these things at all? Would you feel the same way about gentile whites organizing to their own benefit?

Evolutionary HBDIQ science does not lead to NSDAP politics, it leads to old time Swedish social democratic politics.
Can you explain more about this?

to get to full Nazi you need to be an anti-Zionist and a particular flavour of HBDer
This might be naive, but I don't understand how HBD would lead someone to be anti-jewish. I'd expect the total opposite, in fact.

I appreciate you responding, though I must admit I was more curious about any psychological insights than culture war analysis.

You're still dodging the question. Why the obsession with jews, what makes you think the JQ is so much more important than everything else?

Seconding this question, I've asked /u/SecureSignals the same question before and he didn't respond.
I've long been perplexed by the phenomena of super smart people getting obsessed with Jews, and unfortunately the people who fit that description appear to be universally averse to public introspection.

I would assume hydraulic hoses are significantly easier to penetrate than any armor, soft or otherwise.

Very interesting, that wasn't my experience at all. After the first 24 hours it was mostly a vague "yeah I could definitely eat" rather than the acute "damn I'm hungry". That made it easy for me to gently titrate up my first meals, what did you do for your first meals after, how did that go?

The main thing to make of it is that this was not the intended outcome of the shooter, too close to a kill.
This is an excellent and underappreciated point. Oregon legalized cannabis to basically no ill effect whatsoever (actually the worst outcome has been that credit card processors won't do business with pot shops, so the pot shops only deal in cash, so they get robbed a lot). Oregon legalized all drugs and it has been an absolute disaster because "all drugs" included meth and opiates.
