European societies were there before the US existed and will be there after it is gone Canada survived despite several rounds of existential pressure from the US over 250 years We're already in a post-American order where Washington cannot be trusted and need to adapt

When Ukraine does not stop fighting Russia then Trump will turn around and blame Europeans and Canadians for supposedly sabotaging his party's chances of winning the mid-terms. The word of the US government is not worth a bowl of spit for the foreseeable future

Great music. Fun music. Also it was an entire ethos of "the world is shit, everyones lying to you, be constantly angry about it, but dont actually do anything productive to change it, just act out instead" and its a message that a bunch of ppl very much took to heart.

I mean, its hard to get worked up about this (& the only reason its a convo at all is bc Morello/RATM are nostalgia content for Xers & some Millennials) but its worth noting that the performative cynicsm that RATM very much engendered in the 90s is a big part of what helped create our present mess

The "hydration break" really is a perfect American capitalist innovation: a nakedly commercial play to insert more ad revenue into a game that doesn't have ads anywhere else in the world, all under the guise of some humanitarian interest in the players' wellbeing.

Giving him a platform to spread his propaganda or nonsense (whatever you think is causing him to say these things) at this stage of the war is like interviewing Dugin but pretending he speaks objectively and analytically rather than as a Putinist. It's ridiculous and people should stop doing it.

As fascinating as the Artemis II mission is, the response to it is 95% collective coping. Self-soothing behavior on global scale. Shared attention to positive event allows us to distract ourselves from the fact that we're in this mess up to our necks, and perhaps we should do something about that.

There’s this story I sometimes tell about a Gifted & Talented thing I did as a kid, where all the kids knew that “Ring Around the Rosy” was about the plague but they didn’t know how to adjust for these other kids who knew that too, so a bunch of 6 year olds just stood in a circle telling each other

Like which of these safeguards could be realistically reconstituted? Any of them? Putting aside the betrayal of the original deal and the sabotage of current negotiations, could Iran even materially offer these things now? So wth are US/IL even able to demand, short of very obvious nonstarters?

Reminder that none of this would've been possible if not for the neocons manipulating Trump's hatred of Obama to kill the JCPOA. From there, safeguards became unconstrained enrichment and all the scary things they're trotting out became possible. Be careful buying what these guys are still selling.

The kind of people who are horrified at what is happening here and find it deeply un-American are, maybe counterintuitively, the kind of people who are MORE likely than average to know and remember historic abuses. It is their determination to rise above them that gives them moral strength!

People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.
