Thanks to @sarobertson.bsky.social for clipping this. The purported manifesto is an incel critique of capitalism with calls for a revolution to remake society into a misogynist hell. It takes ideas from the left and right but the common thread is a hatred of how women live their lives in the West.

Carvin: If this is the manifesto, it is what I would describe as an incel critique of capitalism. And he's really coming at a variety of different topics in here. You do have ideas, I would say, from the extreme left and the extreme right. But the continuing thread throughout is a hatred of women.

Excellent 🧵; well worth your time.

Social movement scholar here again. So, why protest? Nihilists were out yesterday arguing that "protests don't do anything." A short 🧵:

Two days ago, it is very probable that leaders in both India and Pakistan didn't want things to get to this point, even as they wanted to pursue their political goals against the other. The thing about escalation is that it has a logic independent of what the players involved often want.

Major airspace closures for civil aviation announced by both Pakistan (all airspace) and India (along the border with Pakistan) in the last few hours. We're possibly about to witness the start of the most intense and broad-spectrum direct conflict between two nuclear-armed states ever.

This is my new philanthropic tech company Nazgûl. It is very innocent and good and definitely not made to create a "global terrordrome" that will allow me to bend the world to my will. It will require a $400 trillion funding round. Do not read anything into my title change from CEO to Witch-King.

Believing that India & Pakistan can always 'manage hostility' or control escalation is a dangerous illusion. Every crisis unfolds in new conditions, shaped by shifting politics, evolving technologies, and human misjudgments. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/27/w...

India Seems to Be Building Its Case for Striking Pakistan

As world powers face multiple crises, the one set off by a terror attack in Kashmir is getting scant attention or help in de-escalating between nuclear-armed neighbors.

As an alum, I'm looking forward to hearing how my alma mater, which prides itself as a protector of free speech, is taking action on behalf of these students/fellow alums. @uchicagoalumni.bsky.social

Whatever we make.
