"they got you fighting a culture war to stop you from fighting a class war"

I realize JK Rowling's new novel might seem a little long at 1200 pages but a good portion of the space is taken up by fictitious mean tweets ImageImageImageImage

In 1981, there were 3.5 billion people living on less than $10 a day. In 2017 there were nearly 5 billion. The idea that global capitalism is eliminating extreme poverty is based on adopting an absurd threshold of 2 dollars a day, even though $10/day is still less than 4k a year.
Do you think earning 3,600 dollars a year makes a person extremely poor? If so, then there are more extremely poor people in the world than ever before and all this stuff about the end of poverty is absolute horseshit.
The statistical trickery used to defend global capitalism is like if you were earning 25 cents a day and I defined "poverty" as "less than 50 cents a day" and then I increased your income to 50 cents a day. And then I said "your income doubled and you moved out of poverty"

Joe Rogan fans say that you need to listen to his show at length to have an informed opinion. Well, I've listened to hundreds of hours of it, & my informed opinion is that it's full of guys talking out of their asses on subjects they haven't researched.

I do think trying to get Rogan booted from Spotify is a serious mistake, for several reasons: (1) his audience is actually smaller there (2) it makes the discussion about "censorship" & the right claims Silencing (3) it doesn't address the real problem, lack of good public media
What I will say for Rogan is that the quality of his questioning is remarkably high for a man whose previous job was making people drink donkey semen on television

An absolutely horrific humanitarian catastrophe that the Biden administration bears major responsibility for. This cruelty should be causing mass protest against the administration but most Americans are oblivious to the effects of our policies on other countries.
Sanctions are a weapon. They aren’t usually thought of as a weapon, but they can destroy a country just as surely as bombs and bullets can. And while bombs and bullets can be aimed at purely military targets, sanctions attack the civilian population, starving babies to death.
The use of sanctions to starve a country and destroy its healthcare system needs to be understood as just as much of a criminal atrocity as the bombing of a hospital.

The sad thing about becoming an antivaxxer, covid truther, or other conspiracy theorist is that the paranoid nonsense destroys not just your brain but also relationships.
Just got Alex Berenson’s book, he admits he trashed his relationship with his dying father over his crusade.
Also: “My marriage staggered under the weight of my Twitter obsession.”
Probably Twitter taking away his account is the only thing that saved him from a divorce.
“My wife found me embarrassing and my father died ashamed of me, but this only furthers shows the sacrifices I was prepared to make for The Truth”
