Why does killing one person make you a murderer but starting a war that kills thousands to millions and your base celebrates you in perpetuity

I think "suicide" should be in irony quotes when used to describe incidents like this. Or, use it as a verb, as in, Virginia Giuffre was also suicided after speaking out about her abuse from Jeffrey Epstien, who also was suicided. It's kinda unsettling how many people are being suicided over this..

stiffened their resolve and increased their pain tolerance. We have no pain tolerance. Most of America hates this war. Which side will break first? Whose economy collapses first? That's the moment we're in. Trump is holding us, and the world, in a seriously perilous moment.

Capitulating to Trump would be a profound national humiliation. I cannot see them doing it, no matter how bad things get in the nation. Each atrocity

On multiple fronts, our economy is in danger. The high diesel prices are causing a crisis in trucking, which transports everything we consume. And in farming, which grows our food. Trump is gambling that Iran's economy will break before ours does, causing their government to collapse, causing

One economic analyst noted that high treasury rates are what led to the sub-prime mortgage bubble collapsing in 2007. We have an AI bubble dependent on cheap credit. Higher treasury rates cause interest rates hikes across the board. Our economy is in danger.

and Russia. And, the egregiousness of our attacks in the first 40 days has galvanized the people against us. Maybe they'll break first. The 10 year treasury is at 5.28%, and earlier in the war Bessent was doing everything he could to keep it below 5%.

Maybe Iran will break first. They've been under American sanctions for 47 years. Maybe *now* will be the moment all that pressure breaks them. Or maybe they've grown resilient to the pressure. Maybe they've developed stockpiles of necessities. They're certainly still receiving support from China

The situation is not clear. But we are in an oil crisis, and at some point the reality of it is going to slam home. Trump is gambling that Iran's economy will break before ours does. But just to be clear, our economy is absolutely on the line here. Right now. This very moment.

Harlan Wallner @more-deeply-human.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Trump just pressured Europe to release 100m barrels of diesel and crude oil. If there was as much oil getting out as before the war, as Kpler's recent data indicates, why would Trump be pressuring Europe to release their reserves? There should be a glut coming. But he pressured them.

Harlan Wallner @more-deeply-human.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

and it *is* a big deal that Trump is acting this way, because every day of shortage increases the severity of the coming consequences of the shortage. Kpler is reporting a lot of oil coming through. But the data on how much oil is getting out is untrustworthy. Their crude oil analysis team is lead

Harlan Wallner @more-deeply-human.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

when it actually may not be. If a lot of oil is getting out, our situation is not so severe, & it's not that big a deal that Trump's dragging the war on rather than conceding to Iran's conditions to reopen the strait. If a lot of oil is *not* getting out, our situation is significantly more severe,

Harlan Wallner @more-deeply-human.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

our situation look better than it is. All of the data on how much oil is coming out is based on data the oil-flow tracking firm Kpler has put out, and Kpler is now been discovered to be untrustworthy, and maybe conspiring with the US government to indicate a lot of oil is getting through the Strait

That's the moment we're in. And the things breaking in our economy aren't trivial things. Some of our oldest alliances are fracturing. The consequences of this war on Japan have been significant. Their economy is in trouble, and it's our fault, and they are very aware of that.

the worst impacts, but with the strait still having ships struck daily attempting to sneak through the American route, it is far from clear or open, and getting the ships we can through the Strait comes at great cost militarily, while Iran's strikes are attriting the ships willing to take the risk.

Hey yall, it's been a minute since I said anything but I just want to check in with a reminder that Trump is playing a very high stakes game of "Whose Economy Breaks First?" versus Iran right now, and our economy is showing some serious fissures developing. The treasury yield keeps going up, oil

When the oil shortage hits for real and gas is $6 or $7 or $8 and diesel is $10 or $12 or $14 if you can get it at all and the economy crashes, and people start rising up, the robot dogs will be ready. Well, unless they're like the one Benn Jordan got and found basically worthless...

Iran is maintaining that, regardless of what Trump says, they are not opening the Strait of Hormuz to a normal flow of commercial traffic until their conditions have been met. Our way of life depends on cheap energy and cheap credit. The closure of Hormuz poses severe danger to both.

I know the Iran war has been a lot and most folks have tuned it out, but the situation is far worse than Trump or the media are portraying it, and I think it really requires more of our attention, outrage, and concern. For one, we are again in the weird national-psychological space of the fact

Also, since he wants us to call it SI now, not AI, I have a fun fact for you: in the mental health field SI is a common abbreviation referring to suicidal ideations. So switching from AI to SI feels appropriate. America is racing towards Suicidal Ideations
