This is actual antisemitism - not because it’s criticizing Israel, but because it attributes agency over all migration to Israel, with no evidence. This is just the Great Replacement conspiracy, and it is ultimately far-right. Such conspiracism is going to destroy the left, if it isn’t policed.
Das ist übel. Und faschistisch. (Wo ist die Free-Speech-Brigade jetzt..?) Aber: sollen sie. Das führt einerseits zu mehr Propaganda-Opfern, stimmt. Aber die Chatbots, die so trainiert werden, werden unbrauchbarer Müll sein. Die einzige Singularität, die so erreicht wird, ist ein AI-Crash.

NEW: Republicans tried to get Missourians to effectively kill direct democracy and ballot initiatives. Last night, Missourians literally laughed in their face — rejecting the measure by a massive 80% to 20%. Here’s what to know:
Missourians Reject Measure That Threatened to Kill Citizen-Led Ballot Initiatives - Bolts
Missourians on Tuesday overwhelmingly voted against a measure to restrict direct democracy, while state officials are trying to block even more citizen-led reforms from the November ballot.

The conventional wisdom is the Democrats' big climate law failed to deliver votes and then died. That's wrong. My new study finds its factories moved 2.5 million votes—more than Trump's margin. And the law's still alive. My latest in @theatlantic.com. Gift link! www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Bidenomics Was More Successful Than People Think
Conventional wisdom holds that Joe Biden’s bet on climate investment was a bust. The data suggest otherwise.

Dabei waren sie massiver Repression durch den marokkanischen Staat ausgesetzt. Sie haben ein besseres Gesundheitswesen gefordert, mehr ökonomische Perspektiven und Freiheitsrechte. Aber gerade die Einstufung von Staaten als "sicher" führt oft noch zu mehr Repression in diesen Staaten.

Wir fürchten nicht diese anständigen Menschen, die sich an unseren Grundrechten orientieren, sondern Menschen wie diese Journalistin, die den Moment herbeisehnen an dem eine Partei die Macht bekommt die ungeliebte Demokratie zu beseitigen. Belege, dass es so kommen kann, gibt es genug.

also, cheap stuff has actually gotten way better quality now. this is a 1985 chevy cavalier. 88hp engine (although it was fuel injected!), and basically no creature comforts [a/c was an option, same with an FM radio]. it would last you maybe 100k miles. It cost the equivalent of $27,000 today.
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 2d agoI guess my question is, when was the time that consumer goods were mostly high-quality, durable, and a good value for the price? What decade was the ideal time to be a consumer in America? Not saying you’re wrong but I’m inherently suspicious about any kind of declinist narrative like this
