"they really believe it"/"they will try to do it"/"the promises are real" are things that most americans refuse to believe about politicians but if you take them seriously will help you predict political behavior more often than not

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.

was just having a conversation about this. it's true. of all the trump admin crimes since 1/2025, these killings are among the clearest cut, with the most law/jurisprudence to support prosecution of a whole range of ppl involved, from leadership to subordinates.

Anecdotally, my boss and one of my coworkers were convinced Biden has dementia during his term. The extent to which this was taken as absolute truth among the average voter is yet another example of how our sense of reality and truth have been undone by social media.

FATALITY
A tweet from Joyce Carol Oates: overall takeaway from the Curtis Yarvin profile is that there must be millions of smart-aleck show-offy kids who annoy their teachers and go on to annoy other adults through their lives with their “contrarian” pose that hardens to a carapace over their faces; until, as adults, they still harbor a delusion that, if there is a king, or a fuhrer, he’d be impressed with the guys motor mouth and appoint him to his cabinet rather than deleting him with a negligent swipe of his wrist as Stalin did routinely.

I don't blame Biden, as much as a lot of people, because the precedent and shape of US consensus on 🇮🇱/🇵🇸 meant that almost any Democratic president in his position would end up having to make very similar decisions, but that's a good reason to reevaluate the utility of that consensus going forward.

My take re: McGurk is that even if you take him at relatively his word re: Biden et al privately attempting to restrain Israel (which is to an extent likely true) the obvious takeaway is that it did not work and whatever future admin is in place will need to much more seriously take public measures.

A thing that was very clear at the time is that while it’s true that the United States has a lot of leverage, Israel is a sovereign nation with its own politics, and Netanyahu was, in addition to leading a coalition of aspiring genocidaires, literally going to go prison if the war stopped

Plus you have to square it with the reality that: 1) Biden did threaten to cut off military assistance to Israel, 2) Bibi interpreted it as Biden *actually* cutting off aid AND NOTHING FUCKING CHANGED IN HOW ISRAEL PROSECUTED THE WAR

Look it's fine to say that but you also have to square this with the very obvious consequence that Hamas would (and did) see increased tension between US/Israel as a sign to prolong the suffering for everyone involved

Yup, absolutely. I think it’s wrong to treat the Iran War as simply one bad error that happened to the Trump Admin rather than the entirely logical consequence of the way it operates. If it wasn’t Iran, it would almost certainly have been something else

FWIW, I think a fuckup on this scale in time to wreck them electorally was *almost* inevitable from Day 1, precisely because this is the Special Birthday Boy presidency in which there are almost no limits on Trump's madness and every proposed policy disaster has a real shot at going all the way.

This is my favourite Borges story.
The Witness by Borges and translated by ANTHONY KERRIGAN

In a stable lying almost in the shadow of the new stone church, a man with
gray eyes and a gray beard, stretched on the ground amidst the animal
odors, meekly seeks death like someone seeking sleep. The day, faithful to
vast secret laws, continuously displaces and confounds the shadows in the
wretched stable. Outside stretch the tilled fields, a deep ditch filled up with
dead leaves, and the tracks of a wolf in the black mud where the woods
begin. The man sleeps and dreams, forgotten. The bells calling to prayer
awake him. In the kingdoms of England, the sound of the bells is already
one of the customs of the afternoon, but the man, while still a boy, had
seen the face of Woden, had seen holy dread and exultation, had seen the
rude wooden idol weighed down with Roman coins and heavy vestments,
seen the sacrifice of horses, dogs, and prisoners. Before dawn he would be
dead and with him would die, never to return, the last firsthand images of
the pagan rites. The world would be poorer when this Saxon was no more.
We may well be astonished by space-filling acts which come to an end
when someone dies, and yet something, or an infinite number of things,
die in each death—unless there is a universal memory, as the theosophists
have conjectured. There was a day in time when the last eyes to see Christ
were closed forever. The battle of Junín and the love of Helen died with
the death of some one man. What will die with me when I die? What
pathetic or frail form will the world lose? Perhaps the voice of Macedonio
Fernandez, the image of a horse in the vacant space at Serrano and
Charcas, a bar of sulfur in the drawer of a mahogany desk?

I think that is true, but I do not think it is necessarily an immutable law of the American Voter. It is a product of leadership and culture made up of individual decisions. It's a feedback loop, in part, of political leaders telling voters that it is right and good and just to be that way.
