Some utter nonsense, really just drivel, the conclusion of which is edgy racism - this is the essence of Curtis Yarvin, the purest distillation of who he is as a person.
Curtis Yarvin tweets:

"Here’s how the libs got the USG to spend $2T a year on libbery. They greased the road with their OWN MONEY FIRST. That’s where this NGO empire came from. Before WW2 it was all private.

Do you know what it took to raise a mil or so for Doug Mackey? I wasn’t involved. But I saw it"

Then a second tweet from him:

"No. We have only one problem. The problem is: our billionaires are n—ers. 

They may be rich. But they’re n—er rich. The nature and function of their wealth is profoundly negrous.

You can probably name exceptions. I can too. But in every way, the exceptions prove the rule"

AOC is also wrong about Iron Dome being "defensive" as opposed to "offensive". jewishcurrents.org/iron-dome-is...

Iron Dome Is Not a Defensive System
The Iron Dome cannot meaningfully be considered “life-saving” in any value system that recognizes Palestinian humanity.

What about her statement don't you understand? She distinguishes between the IDF's purported "offensive" and "defensive" capacities, and supports funding and arming the IDF for the latter, e.g., the Iron Dome.

She supports arming and funding the genocidal IDF. The real solutions are opposing all arms and funding for the IDF and State of Israel more broadly.

There's no good reason for pyramidal, bureaucratic, "democratic" structures in a 21st century left political movement, just like there is no longer any need for printed membership cards.

As a woke father, I can affirm that harmful gender stereotypes are taught to children in kindergarten. "Spider-Male is for boys, and the Ice Queen is for girls." "No, boys and girls can like what they want. Don't believe everything you hear at school." This is kindergarten.

Adam Jones (@sanktmaxtci.bsky.social) reads “AI” politically: “Data centres function as an increasingly central part of the nervous system of an imperial, techno-capitalist order. Democratic politics holds the right to question their present and future existence.” newintermag.com/ai-as-class-...

The movement-form succeeds where the party and commune forms fail because it deemphasizes identity in favor of activity, thus generalizing and composing across a broader social base.

Mary Clare O'Donnell (@maryclareod11.bsky.social ) writes about Pope Francis' legacy: “Francis continuously returned his focus to the margins [...] he would kneel before women, Muslims, and prisoners, washing their feet, as Jesus did in the New Testament.” newintermag.com/the-peoples-...

The People’s Pope
Francis’ small but radical acts embodied a theology of closeness: the conviction that Christ is found not in power, but in proximity to those the world forgets.
