Holocaust Harris doing a girlboss with Liz Cheney was the subject of more prolonged outrage from the Anti-War People than Trump the Peace President leading us into war with Iran. Saying this will get you yelled at and gaslit about how our moral betters have shown total consistency on this issue.

If we could figure out some quality or feature that was common to all the states where this happened or, conversely, common to all the states where this did not happen, that might help suggest a strategy to correct and/or prevent this

Michael Tracey seems to see himself as goring sacred cows, and interprets the resulting hate as proof he's a free-thinking iconoclast. The problem is, he's not smart enough to find actual sacred cows, so instead he just acts like a lout, then bizarrely celebrates being widely despised.

The “states’ rights” people in the past knew it was bullshit back then too, because slaver states wouldn’t let free states pass laws protecting self-emancipated people within their borders.

Ironically many American liberals do have suicidal empathy- they just have it towards conservatives, who they refuse to realize hate them and want to destroy their way of life

fundamentally, the question comes down "is war about spirit or is it about logistics?" (if you think it's entirely about the former, you're going to get your shit rocked)

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

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

Eric Schmitt was warned about the Jack Smith texts. He used them anyway.

As Republicans on Capitol Hill try to figure out how Eric Schmitt’s bombshell fell apart so embarrassingly, it turns out he was warned that the texts were unvetted.

Trump expressed support for the Iraq war as it started. He later criticized Bush for not stealing oil or doing enough war crimes (namely targeting innocent family members of insurgents). Then he acted on that vision of war with Iran, and it's failing badly. Enough Trump-absolving revisionist BS.
