The human race is perpetuating itself just fine; natalist anxieties only make sense if you’re concerned about the growth of certain demographics relative to others, which of course is the far right’s entire concern.

The Zionist campaign to identify anti-Zionism with 'anti-Semitism' almost guarantees bloody outbreaks of anti-Semitism in the future. Tragically (stupidly) most Jews are Zionists (though the anti-Zionist proportion of Jews is rising) but most Zionists are not Jews.

JFC. WE ARE STILL WORSE OFF. We still have at least 10% global tariffs. Businesses can’t make decisions, as they don’t know what tariffs will be 90 days from now I usually say Trump is great at repackaging the status quo as victory but this is significantly worse than pre-Liberation Day status quo

you're going to see a surge of stock exuberance on the pause but the massive insecurity and uncertainty to business has still more than locked in a recession and more tumult in the future.

So increased tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada, continued tariffs on retaliating countries (like the EU), but reduced 10% tariffs on the Heard and McDonald Islands, so the S&P is up by like 5% over the last few minutes. Sure. Whatever.

The entire political and business class of the United States is like a guy who got served the wrong order at a restaurant and is too shy to bring it up. “Oh, tariffs? These’ll destroy my state’s economy… no, no, it’s fine. No need to bother President Trump with it. He might get mad at me!”

The "culture war obsessed and too online" explanation for all this has, once again, done a lot better than the "controlled by business leaders" and the "want the country to be strong and prosperous, just have good faith disagreements on the best way to get there" explanations.

He's being subject to this exclusively for political opinions, as far as I know there's no claim that he committed a crime. If this is not the work of an authoritarian regime, I don't know how to describe it.

A pretty basic fact which is indisputable to anyone who actually reads the historical record is that Israel has never once recognized the right of the Palestinian people to self determination but the PLO did recognized Israel preemptively— over four and a half years before Oslo I.

I find “people don’t actually know how things work” has a lot of explanatory power. I don’t mean this in a holier-than-thou way. I’m only vaguely aware of how my microwave or the car radio work. A lot of modern life is assuming the functioning of complex tech and models.

a big factor in any CCP calculation right now is that the Chinese public is far more enthusiastic about fighting back in the trade war than the US public was about starting it.
