Roko's basilisk, if you run an online forum for “futurist” dumbasses.

Stein is not now, and has not been for the last several elections, a serious contender.

I don’t know anyone who thinks that she is.

She exists simply to be a spoiler candidate for the left side of American politics.

The Democratic party is the spoiler for the left side of American politics.

This is coming from someone who […] understands the infuriating idiosyncrasies of the American electoral system.

Maybe you do, maybe you don’t 🤷

Putin getting his candidate elected

Trump, Putin’s candidate.

CIA "Cooked The Intelligence" To Hide That Russia Favored Clinton, Not Trump In 2016. Russia didn’t fear Hillary Clinton. “It was a relationship they were comfortable with,” some CIA analysts believed, but intelligence was suppressed. On the fall of the last great Russiagate myth.

Putin and his massive influence upon America’s marketplace of ideas.

The Clintonian dynasty created this situation, because the worse the Republican candidate is, the less they have to promise—never mind deliver—to their constituency. How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately "elevated" Donald Trump with its "pied piper" strategy

The median age of first-time buyers also rose from 35 to 38, while the share of first-timers dropped from 32% to 24% of all buyers for the year ending July 2024. That marks the lowest percentage since NAR started tracking the metric in 1981.

The median U.S. home price is now $435,000, per NAR — up 39% since 2020 — while the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has more than doubled to over 6% in that time.

An 18% down payment — the median percentage buyers put down, according to NAR — on a $435,000 home comes to $78,300. That’s a significant expense, nearly matching the annual U.S. median household income of $80,610, per U.S. Census Bureau data.

If Intel is so strategically important, then eminent domain it now while the stock price is in the toilet. No, just print money for a private company instead, which it’ll then use for stock buybacks to make the rich richer?

Mrs. Stein and Principal Putler were an the same table making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me!

  • 1896 CE: Theodor Herzl writes “The Jewish State”
  • 1897 CE: Theodor Herzl writes “Mauschel

Herzl believed that there were two types of Jews, Jiden (Yids) and Juden (Jews), and considered any Jew who openly opposed his proposals for a Zionist solution to the Jewish question to be a Mauschel. The article has often been taken, since its publication, to be emblematic of an antisemitic strain of thinking in Zionism, and has been described as an antisemitic rant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Herzl

Due to his Zionist work, he is known in Hebrew as Chozeh HaMedinah (חוֹזֵה הַמְדִינָה), lit. 'Visionary of the State'. He is specifically mentioned in the Israeli Declaration of Independence and is officially referred to as "the spiritual father of the Jewish State".

conflation of state and people that Hamas’s ideology clearly makes

A Document of General Principles and Policies

by largely targeting and slaughtering civilians in their homes

That is not what happened. That is what Western media said happened.

.

If Hamas wants to dismantle Israeli oppression through activism, negotiations, and political reform great.

  1. It has tried to do that for decades. The most recent significant attempt was Great March of Return, wherein the IDF slaughtered Gazans.
  2. Palestinians have the legal right under UN law to struggle against their occupiers by any means necessary, including armed struggle.
  3. Israel, as an occupier, has no right to “self defense.”
