I don't think people understand the level of starvation Israel is imposing on Gaza. Since hospitals are destroyed, it's impossible to track the numbers but at a minimum dozens of kids are dying in a painful way. It's cruelty at the level of gas chambers. Yes, it's yet another Nazi similarity. Stop the genocide or deal with it.

They're right. If you wanted to culturally shift more towards fascism, this is how you do it. It doesn't matter that Mehdi debunked and embarrassed him. It's all about the narrative in Overton Window.

Just like with Grok 3, xai's claims of Grok 4's performance are disproven by independent benchmarks. I respect researchers but a good portion of xai team is being pretty sleazy.

So a mildly funny situation is Trump is losing the support of his three differentiating support systems: 1) Right wing conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones: Because of Epstein files (interestingly, one case where they're right about) 2) Techno-fascists like Musk: Because of retired EV credits & targeting immigrant work force (one case where they're right about) 3) Isolationists like Tucker Carlson: Because of mindlessly bombing Iran and giving Israel whatever it wants (again, here Carlson is interestingly the right one) What's left for Trump are the traditional Republican base: 1) Neocons, but he's struggling there too due to tariffs. 2) Evangelical extremists - where he'll probably never lose support even if he denounced Christianity and invites Satan to dinner

What Trump is doing is betting. But it's not even a stupid bet, he has about 60% odds to succeed (his personal goals). The 40% failure chance can come from: 1) If other countries can successfully band together (as Brazil is trying). 2) Stock market whales can't hold the line anymore, and valuations fall in line with the actual economy. Otherwise, TACO jokes are missing a lot of nuance and actual strategy behind this guy's dangerous game. Trump 100% knows what he's doing and that should scare you so much more than him not knowing.

I've always liked Ms Rachel show. And now, I'm a big fan not only because of her courage but also the way she handles tough but necessary issues. Amazing 👏

To be clear, this was a realism post, not an idealism post. It's a wake up call. Trump is successfully playing libs & fractured coalitions; making the world more unipolar and dangerous, using US hegemony to establish it as the evil empire that it always has been, but ultimately delivering on his campaign promises.

tRuMp sTuPiD crowd gets it wrong again. As Yanis Varoufakis has been yelling from the rooftops since last year, Trump isn't an idiot. His tariff war is harmful for billions of people but it is calculated and NOT STUPID. He genuinely has a shot at reducing trade deficit and making his base happy with his tariff war. So far, Trump got US a far better deal with China compared to what US had under Biden, and is on the path to do so with the EU too. Others will follow suit if not careful. The real idiots are those who undermine him and stick to their comfortable position of being a western supremacist. The only possible path for EU was to entertain the idea of entering these negotiations together with Mexico, China, India - but EU leadership is too racist to ever consider themselves equal to these countries.

Varoufakis has not once been wrong. The most underrated economist (among the establishment of course, he's very popular among researchers and students) has been saying this since before the election. The only way to undermine Trump's plan is for the other countries to set aside their differences and act in unison. This is why the Chinese / Eastern prejudice in Europe is so stupid. You have China who wants to be your equal partner despite their clear leverage, and European leaders still want to be USA's pets.

What's hilarious especially in the crypto space is how people call themselves "punk" and then stay quiet about establishment's attacks on possibly top 5 most praised modern punk band for opposing a genocide.

This is the reaganomics moment. The hope that "things will improve" earlier generations felt was lost in 21st century because of the policies Reagan set. Almost all 21st century crises can be traced back to him. Now Trump has set USA on an even darker path that none of these geriatric politicians will even see. USA finally completely folding in 2030s/40s will be traced back to this moment.

It's hard to overstate the level of corruption, cruelty, scam packed into a single bill; and it's hard to overstate how American politicians embraced the brazen corruption in front of their own voters. They don't feel accountable anymore, because money in politics ensured that people's voices matter less than donations. People & even researchers find this controversial, but if you start from democracy's first principles, US wouldn't even be considered in the top 50 when it comes to democracy.
