I’m a man and a Democrat substantially, if not primarily, because I don’t want a cultural or economic subsidy for my gender.
Can Sebastian Junger give me a call?
I’m clearly an enigma.

At the height of it you could see airplanes taking off over NYC all the time. We were never taking that shit that seriously.
Another shit movie, based on the lies of a stolen valor guy who pretended to have been in Mossad.
Thanks, Donald.
see i understand this take but i think the issue is that basically as the process of polarization continues as the right continues to drift more extreme, they will see basically every transition of power as an existential threat

An optional historical reading recommendation for your consideration. "Relentless Strike," by Sean D. Naylor @seandnaylor.bsky.social, published in 2015. You can listen to the author talk with @jackmurphyrgr.bsky.social about his book at this link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzJV....

There were always a bunch of jerk offs in the field, but also some brilliant minds. It seems like the field has just ceded any sense of credibility to the brain worms addled room temperature IQ boomers.
Legit unnerving how quickly our "foreign policy experts" became completely irrelevant by choice, or by history simply passing them by.
And FP just launders their bullshit.
Whether it’s pictures of Barack Obama reading to a group of children with Zohran Mamdani or it’s pictures of Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein on an island full of sex-trafficked minors, occupants of the oval office are making some controversial choices about who they take pictures with.
