ike i wanna make that clear - what she said waas *not* defense, it was an explanation. so the liberals on bsky harassed her until she deactivated.
this site is liberal fascism by softer means. there is a strange culture on here of extreme insularity.
~Gadamer, “The Universality of the Hermeneutical Problem,” in Philosophical Hermeneutics (1977), 16-17
still persists whenever we want to say something to each other. The result is the actual relationship of human beings to each other. Each is at first surrounded by a kind of linguistic circle, and these linguistic circles come into contact with each other, merging more and more.
and in fact the impoverishment of the vocabulary of language is making enormous progress, thus bringing about an approximation of language to a technical sign-system. Leveling tendencies of this kind are irresistible. Yet in spite of them, the simultaneous building up of our own world in language
When we hear modern lovers talking to each other, we often wonder if they are communicating with words or with advertising labels and technical terms from the sıgn language of the modern industrial world. It is inevitable that the leveled life-forms of the industrial age also affect language,
--that the "essential American soul" is a killer. ~Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, An Indigenous Peoples' History of the US, 94
is another indicator. Actual men such as Robert Rogers, Daniel Boone, John Sevier, and David Crockett, as well as fictitious ones created by James Fenimore Cooper and other best selling writers, call to mind D. H . Lawrence's "myth of the essential white American"
and becomes the very basis for US American identity. The Indian-fighting frontiersmen and the "valiant" settlers in their circled covered wagons are the iconic images of that identity. The continued popularity of, and respect for, the genocidal sociopath Andrew Jackson
The pattern [of Indigenous genocide] would continue in US military interventions overseas, from the Philippines and Cuba to Central America, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The cumulative effect goes beyond simply the habitual use of military means
is that of "hearkening." In hearkening there is revealed a mode of being which is not yet a mode of doing and which thus avoids the alternative of subjection and revolt. ~Ricoeur, "Religion, Atheism, Faith" in Conflict of Interpretations, 449
The only way to think ethically is to think nonethically. In order to attain this goal, we must discover that place where the autonomy of our will is rooted in a dependence and an obedience that is no longer infected with accusation, prohibition, and condemnation. This preethical situation

Iran should demand the United States & Israel give up their nuclear weapons in exchange for Iran agreeing to not have any.
Oh it turned out partnering with white supremacists isn’t a good strategy for a bunch of Jews? Who knew 🙄

Those US-Iran negotiations in a nutshell:
Iran sent 4 PhDs to Islamabad.
The US sent a real estate developer, a son-in-law, a lawyer and a general.
These 2 pics are happening simultaneously:

This is what happens when you elect a genocidal fascist and an unqualified sycophant
I think the U.S. will be the LAST country in the world to introduce universal healthcare. Because, our country prioritizes GREED. It is the "secret sauce" that fuels the economy. SMDH
BREAKING: the judges who dismissed high-profile cases in immigration court against two international students who have advocated for Palestinian causes, Rümeysa Öztürk and Mohsen Mahdawi, were fired yesterday, alongside four other judges.

And prosecute them
Something I’ve picked up on in many years of reading statements of denial from people accused of sexual violence is that they often focus more on whether the victim is believable than whether the events occurred. Because those details tend to corroborate the allegations. So they attack credibility.

Yes, I am fine with this.
The IDF’s massacre in Lebanon is an operational form they developed with the US—massive simultaneous strikes on command and control targets, very permissive with civilian casualties—probably with almost entirely junk AI “targeting”
Right,. aside from the emails between them, and the photographs of them together, and the address books with her info in them, the sworn statements of witnesses, and the affidavit from Epstein's assistant that he introduced her to Trump, there is not a shred of evidence supporting the allegations.
Iran,
If you’re listening, please publish the unredacted Epstein files.
Thanks
"Stupid", "insane", "moronic" and other such terms are stand-ins for ideologies and systems of domination- white supremacy, imperialism, capitalism, patriarchy- that are embodied and acted out by actors of the fascist regime. When people can't name these systems, they resort to base ableism. 1/
If I lived in Lebanon, this would make me very nervous. Netanyahu has a clear incentive to provoke Iran to pull out of the ceasefire by attacking Lebanon again. Netanyahu always prioritizes himself over the lives of innocent civilians.
Israel has just approved the creation of 34 new illegal settlements in occupied Palestine. We are witnessing genocide after genocide so that a tiny western colonial entity of 9 million people can build an empire on the ashes of the civilisations it exterminates

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon.
You are being lied to
