  • Brett Stephans was masturbating in the NYT opinion pages about this today, apparently the new western dream is for an “Arab-led” security force to take over Gaza in order to “de-radicalize” it with the help of “European economic power”. It seems they have finally admitted that direct Isntraeli occupation of Gaza will only cause Palestinians to hate them more and strengthen the resistance. Though they still think annexations of the Egyptian border and cutting Gaza in half are necessary. Then I guess eventually a “deradicialized Gaza” will be handed over to Isntrael or the PA.

    It’s an absolute fantasy, he literally made up a fictional Gazan man named “Mohammad” in the article to fabricate Palestinian support for this insane idea. No Arab state, even the collaborators, wants to get directly involved in this genocidal shitshow. I doubt NATO even wants to show up in person, except the US of course.

    It reminds me of what the US is trying to do in Haiti with the Kenyan police. That has been a complete failure and it would be even worse in Gaza.



  • I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who thought the ending was a load of liberal horseshit. I got the feeling the writers just needed the law punish someone at the end of the BB story, since Walt and Jesse more or less got away with it, but it also felt like they were punishing the audience for daring to like the likeable scumbag character they wrote. Liberals just want to be the teacher. How dare you have fun? go to detention!















  • Don’t take it so personally. sure EVs have a role to play but if we’re to be serious about tackling climate change and environmental sustainability it’s going to require massive infrastructure redevelopment projects, not asking everyone to please swap to rechargeable batteries. It’s not about being “right enough” it’s about recognizing a non-solution and also on a policy level a blatant scam. All these EV subsides the liberal Biden administration is throwing out are an obvious hand out to the failing American auto industry to try to keep them competitive and desperate ploy to their quickly dwindling supporters for them to look like they’re doing anything worthwhile on climate change at all.

    Having every American buy a new electric car is just going to make a few auto executives rich as hell and not even reduce overall global emissions because those cheaper ICE cars that can’t be sold in America are just going to go to other parts of the world that don’t have EV infrastructure but have plenty of already existing gas stations. And there’s all the emissions of actually building the damn things. No, they need to put their money where their mouth is and build some fucking trains.
