I'm starting to realize that political principles are simply excuses, the true goal is always sustained conflict.


I have no problem with anti-semitism. Racism always exists. There are always mediocre people who envy intelligence and success, and make stupid generalizations. The conditions for a German style holocaust do not exist. Not everyone has to like me.

*Finally* someone appreciates how powerful we are. I was wondering when someone would notice



So many people liked a recent comment of mine that I had to delete it.


The difference between thousands and millions? he difference between deportation and extermination? What is wrong with this woman? We know actors are stupid but this is just silly.

What is the difference between ICE arresting and disappearing thousands of innocent people and the Gestapo herding millions of Jews into cattle cars bound for death camps?



Nice quote. Where's it from?

Sometimes, things are so dark that I find myself heeding Friedrich Nietzsche’s warning: "Do not fall victim to excessive idealism and believe that telling the truth will bring you closer to people. People love and reward those who can soothe them with illusions. Since ancient…

What movie had you laughing, unable to breathe, even just for one scene?



Politics: the systematic organization of hatreds. (Henry Adams)


I've noticed a new locution, 'uzwul' for 'as well' articulated in a muffled, swallowed way. To me it signifies that one's remark is certified for authenticity with a mechanical stamp.


You saw this in the flesh? Where?

I think its beautiful: Lapis Lazuli is a powerful gemstone known for its deep blue color and spiritual significance. It is often referred to as the "Stone of Truth" and the "Wisdom Keeper," symbolizing wisdom, intuition, and inner peace.



This is simply a glib and surreptitious defense of taqiyya.

The history of American hypocrisy is tragically long. But over time I came to see something else. Hypocrisy is, in its own perverse way, an acknowledgment of our ideals. To be a hypocrite you must first affirm that certain principles matter—even if you fail to live up to them. 🧵

I saw zohran mamdani at a grocery store in brooklyn yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was…


Sharia, female subordination, Jew hatred, taqiyya, homophobia, dog hatred . . .

What is it about Muslims in public life that makes some people go insane?



Adams naively helped make NYC a sanctuary city, but when he realized he had been used he try to turn it around, was construed therefore by the NY Dems as being a Trumpist, and was crushed by them. Never recovered.

What was wrong with Eric Adams again? You literally have a Communist, a granny killer charged with SA, and the founder of a vigilante group in this NYC election. Adams did some business in Turkey, or something - flew there Executive class?



How Jews got to Israel is irrelevant. The fact is that now 9 million civilized modern people are continually threatened and attacked by a growing cult of psychopathic inbred premodern misogynistic slave-owning homophobic and su*c*dal maniacs who believe fervently that killing…

It’s was the British that sent Jews of any race or creed to Palestine after the crown took Palestine over . They made colonized it and some guy go write the book on Zionism demanded that land. That’s how the notion of Israel became- there was never an Israel. That’s facts. Stop…



I voted. I threw a pea into the sea of History.


Science is not knowledge, knowledge is not science. They are two different words that mean two different things. They are not a turning wheel, then or ever.

To read and learn from the experience of others and then build that myself and see for myself. And then try something new. The new then expands the old. Or provides new correlations. Science and knowledge are then a turning wheel.
