This CIA recruitment video would be a little too much for a Chicana/o studies department. A collection of every campus buzzword in two minutes.

No wonder they wanted the last administration gone, now they can be themselves!
I like the part about not engaging in uptalk. This was written by a young person who really paid attention in college.
Soon after 9/11 American Dad! debuted, about a CIA agent who was supposed to be representative of his profession, a Fox News watching Bush supporter. As the series progressed the stereotype became out of date and the political angle of the show has been completely dropped.
For people asking whether this is real.
Oh my God I just saw this one
Again this isn’t just being woke for the organization that overthrows governments and kills people. Woke capital, your typical Fortune 500, is not half as cringe as this.

The selection of JD Vance can be seen as a triumph for the Tech Right. I explain where they came from and what makes them different from others in the GOP. They're socially liberal, anti-egalitarian, and ultimately for dynamism and progress. 🧵 richardhanania.com/p/understandin…

Ironically, there is a group of leftists who saw this coming. They came up with the acronym TESCREAL, which is so ugly that it's actually catchy. The leftists paying the most attention knew that tech elites were different from other elites in academia and journalism.
Image

If you believe in technology and progress, it's going to put you in conflict with the ruling class if it doesn't believe in those things. In most societies that may be religious authorities. In the modern West, it is wokes, driven by an egalitarian vision that discounts progress Image

The time Israel sent a commando team into downtown Beirut that assassinated three high-ranking members of the PLO and got out. The team was led by Ehud Barak.

Westerners hate Israel because it fills them with a sense of inferiority by showing that heroism is still possible.

Stop and read about the Entebbe Raid, after a plane was hijacked and taken to Uganda. The Israelis secretly flew a team from Suez to Uganda, slaughtered the Palestinian terrorists, their German allies, and Idi Amin’s soldiers, bringing almost all of the hostages home alive.

What were the Palestinians doing during this time? They had their own version of heroism. They were blowing up synagogues, killing random Jews all over the world, massacring flight crews, and getting the Gulf Arabs to pay them ransom money.

Fascinating analysis of the trendiness of baby names.

Since the 1960s, the endings of names rise and fall together, especially for boys. The fates of Mason, Jackson, Grayson, etc are all linked.

What names sound good to parents depends on subtle signals they’re not aware of.


Image
Image
Image
Image
This is associated with the decline of traditional names. The lesson here is people really feel the need to conform on a very deep subconscious level! If they don’t conform to tradition, they’ll look for arbitrary signs of trendiness.
Image
Image
But you don’t want to conform too much. So names that are too common get scratched off the list, while you need to pick a name for a boy or girl that sounds right in the current year.

Why not beginnings of names then? Makes the choice too conscious? Image

Time Magazine in 1958: Blacks are 10% of the population in 1,551 cities but commit 60% of violent crime. Northern mayors consider this their biggest problem and are afraid to talk about it. Black leaders blame racist law enforcement.

Black problems didn’t start with LBJ.

Time in 1958: NAACP tries to get people not to talk about black crime. Many whites are uncomfortable about the subject, and newspapers go out of their way not to mention a crime suspect’s race. Image
Time: Many blame poverty, but poor immigrants don’t commit crime like blacks do.

Change a few words around and this whole thing could’ve been written today. The media wouldn’t publish it of course but nothing has changed in 66 years! Image

Academic who researches the right realizes he can’t get a job because he’s a white male.

He complains, gets laughed at by a woman at Yale. He accuses her of “punching down” at him, thinking lack of employment makes up for his race and sex.

Talk about a teachable moment.

Since October 7, many of us have been asking how we can be better allies to Israel.

I explain that what Israel needs is not better PR, or "hasbara," but pushback on narratives that are hostile to civilization itself, which Israel represents. richardhanania.com/p/article-in-t…
Israel doesn't have an "optics" problem because the rest of the world hated Israel before this war, and one can see this in the obsessive focus on its flaws compared to everything else in global politics. The problem is with Israel's existence. Image
There are three pillars of anti-Israel hate

1) Anti-western sentiment
2) Third worldism
3) Classic antisemitism

Unfortunately for Israel, it's the one place where all these ideological orientations converge. Image
