Not a bad hypothesis

We agree (but then perhaps you also agree with Trita)

I suppose. I take myself to be informing you of an alternative reading of the phrase.

I said nothing about Israel “manipulation” btw, that’s your addition

I quite agree. But if as an objective matter the war advances Israel‘s interests and harms America’s, it‘s perfectly accurate to say the war is for Israel. (It’s also quite ugly to suggest that you can’t make this point without being implicitly in league with neo-nazis.)

*sigh* if you insist…

oh

a fucking moron: debunking the IAT means we've debunked the very idea of implicit bias

Everyone in Toronto talks like this

Stipulating that it would be desirable for home prices to come down, presumably they aren’t going to come down without a large reduction in demand.

Ah yes… picturesque, quaint, residential… Dufferin St

Not the point but American traditional is still popping

it's funny that he just stopped writing about Gaza once it became undeniable what was happening
