The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 1hWait did the harris campaign actually employ the bulwark crew as consultants? 010
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 15hPlatner was a litmus test to see what lefties have cooked their brain on twitter and are now incapable of seeing the world through any other lens than factional disputes with twitter enemies 000
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Medhi is a Debate BroTM. Which is to say that in this unfortunate current media environment having some number of Debate Bros is probably a necessity when they’re on your side to win the propaganda war. But you shouldn’t mistake them for someone that you yourself should listen to 150
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Like, i get not being able to use a calculator in elementary school when you’re learning arithmetic. But for algebra? 000
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I don't know who this guy is but imma give him a pass because i like his charlie kirk proportioned face 0120
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The opposite was also very funny too--when all the free speech/dark humor/tRiGgErEd mUcH people got mega butthurt at the charlie kirk memes 040
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I just apologized for being ignorant and offensive and thanked her for pointing it out and then left (because she was right about me being a stupid asshole), but in the moment all I could think was "yes we would absolutely joke about/name a drink after 9/11". Didn't say it though 2220
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I was in a bar in ireland once and joked to my friend about ordering an irish car bomb. The bartender (justifiably) told me off for joking about terrorism that claimed many innocent lives and asked me how i'd feel if someone went to a bar an "ordered a 9/11" 1120
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026In a moment in which there are justifications for basically everything, it is all the more important to have a principled commitment to *universal* human life/rights 1110
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It is very unfortunate that it is not entirely unreasonable that someone could conclude that anti-zionism is simply a cover for anti-semitism, and that another person could also not unreasonably conclude that concerns over anti-semitism are simply a cover for support for apartheid and mass slaughter 190
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026That’s cause his argument isn’t actually about politics or electoralism; it’s “i’m smarter than everybody else” 000
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 07/10/2026"Since 2020, I've seen a lot of totally real reddit posts that agree with me" 0262
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026lol i hear your tweets in your podcast voice 000
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Also we should comply with intl law and declare all of the settlements to be illegal with all of the legal consequences that come from that 000
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026My position is that we should enforce an arms embargo and heavily sanction israel to pressure them into stopping their war crimes and ethnic cleansing 100
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I mean i’m not so sure we do bsky.app/profile/6tar... 100
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I am uninterested in debating what "Zionism" means or whether "Israel has a right to exist". Israel is a real state that exists that is depriving an entire people of the rights to self-government and doesn't even pretend to be interested in allowing that people self-determination ever in the future 000
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026My argument is that debating "Zionism" is stupid, and that we should focus that Israel is an apartheid state conducting an aggressive campaign of ethnic cleansing for the express purpose of making a 2-state solution impossible in the future, along with its countless war crimes in gaza 210
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Dog you really gotta learn how to read bsky.app/profile/thep... 100
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Lmao what does "sovereign in theory" mean? Israel arrests palestinians and tries them in their military courts, collects and withholds their taxes, controls their airspace, controls their borders, controls their water/power, steals their land, destroys their homes, restricts their movement etc. etc. 000
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Again, I'm gonna need you to point out where I said i'm against israel existing as a nation-state, or hell, even where I said I'm an anti-zionist. It shouldn't be that hard right? 100
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It makes it extra fun when it endorses candidates and then calls them ugly assholes onstage 000
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026When biden said there were 3 genders he was talking about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit 050
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Let me ask you: is palestine a sovereign state? And bonus question, where are the borders of israel? 100
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yeah don’t pretend like you don’t know i’m talking about the west bank 100
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Like maybe you missed it, but the post that started this thread was me linking to an article explicitly arguing that jewish nationalism *is not* exceptional bsky.app/profile/thep... 100
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Please point to where i said israel shouldn’t exist because of its ethnic heritage 200
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Are you under the impression that other national movements were not founded through displacement and dispossession? 060
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I mean it’s not just late—it’s still ongoing 140
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I maintain that it’s unfortunate that we have a special word for jewish nationalism that makes it feel exceptional www.liberalcurrents.com/the-banality...liberalcurrents.comThe Banality of ZionismZionism is just 19th century nationalism, and its conflicts are ordinary nationalist conflicts. 512526
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I’m not sure “most people” is correct here 010
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Is this guy in the klan? Or is he kyle gordon? The world may never know 020
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 04/10/2026You’re telling me that the inferior race is somehow insidiously creeping into society? I wonder how this cognitive dissonance will be resolved 041
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I continue to think that it would be unbelievably funny if biden actually did rig the 2020 election 0110
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 03/10/2026How do you think they arrived at those positions in the first place? 000
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Cuomo got like 43% of the vote as an independent 150
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 03/10/2026He’s also got the worst of both worlds in having trump’s endorsement tie him to the sinking ship, while having anyone who actually likes trump watch him just call paxton an ugly loser with no juice 0140
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Yeah jargon can either be useful in helping one to think about and solve societal problems, or it can be a thought-terminating cliche 021
The Powell Nemo @thepowellnemo.bsky.social · 02/10/2026that black people are, for example. It feels like it's useful to know that we need to fight anti-semitism through fighting conspiracism that generates stochastic terrorism rather than needing affirmative action programs or some other counter-racism programs 011
