Shit is popping OFF in Israel: Hamas is invading/shooting rockets, Israeli police seem completely blind sided, Israeli govt declaring war.

Thread of craziest shit:
Hamas is *hang gliding* into Israel:

Hamas rolling around in a pickup truck in an Israeli neighborhood, aimlessly shooting

Maybe the same guys? Gun battles street to street in Israeli towns. I think this is Ashkelon? Not sure.

I guess maybe Sderot, not Ashkelon. They're close by anyway.

More gunmen in trucks. Notice an Israeli police SUV just zipping by:

Wow - Apparently Hamas is even invading by boat!

Rocket attacks are hitting all over the south of the country:

The rockets being fired from the Gaza Strip:

Hamas forces are apparently running completely unobstructed ? Wild

Hamas took out an Israeli tank:

Dawg, I would maybe not stand real close to that burning tank

More footage of the Israeli tank taken out by Hamas militants:

Hamas bugging out back into Gaza on a stolen humvee? Wild

Yeah apparently Hamas has made off with some Israeli military vehicles:

It looks like Hamas has made off with two or three Israeli humvees

Good Morning, resuming

Looks like Hamas took out that Israeli tank with a drone that dropped grenades - similar to how Ukraine has been hitting Russian tanks;
Israel seems completely unprepared for the new style of war with cheap drones turning old mortar shells into precision bombs — Here, Hamas released footage shows a drone dropping a shell onto Israel troops fighting from what they thought was cover:
Wild:

Israeli Commander Nimrod Aloni captured

Hamas must have gotten super deep into Israel AND BACK to do this. What a massive intelligence failure.

Unreal:

Israel is EVACUATING its airbase near the Gaza Strip as Palestinians in vehicles drive unimpeded into Israel. Are they Hamas? Are the civilian refugees? No one has any idea. Israel has lost control over the border *for now* it seems
Israeli troops in Sderot are searching for Hamas infiltrators

Perhaps the tempo has shifted and there are now gunmen in hiding, within residential districts? There doesn’t seem to be any gunfire in the background/urgency in their movements
Maybe the tempo has decreased. Maybe not — Israeli troops in Sderot shoot at and fire a rocket towards Hamas militants but….don’t they seem relaxed to you? Odd. Maybe that’s just how it normally is/no wasted movements.
Israel striking back by bombing the Gaza Strip. Not sure that Hamas will let up.
Update: it seems Israel has totally lost control of certain areas, but is confident they will regain them soon — here are Palestinian reinforcements joining Hamas in Sderot
Hamas has apparently captured many Israeli soldiers and civilians. Here is a female Israeli soldier who has been captured and taken back into Gaza from Israel by the Palestinians:
Wild: Israel has completely lost control of settlements near Gaza, Hamas is straight up carrying off Israeli captives a mix of civilian and military, men and women alike
Holy shit.

Hamas have captured an entire Israeli post and all its equipment. Presumably all of the soldiers/police Israel had there have fled, been killed, or been captured. Incredible
It is NOT a small base. Hamas has completely captured this IDF base from Israel, and the Palestinians appear to have taken possession of multiple armored vehicles. If they can get them working quickly, it’ll be like a more kinetic situation than the Taliban takeover shortly
Another captured IDF base near Gaza. There are multiple tanks just sitting around. Apparently Hamas has taken out several poorly defended posts during the holiday hours, but has not made much of an effort to take the tanks, capturing armored vehicles and trucks instead.
Hamas has knocked out multiple IDF tank crews. Here the Palestinians appear to have been able to overrun a tank, and capture its crew. Evidently they shot one who was resisting and are dragging off a surviving Israeli as a captive.
Update: it looks like the female Israeli soldier captured by Hamas is still alive, and being held hostage somewhere in Gaza by the Palestinians

I wonder if this is a way to limit IDF willingness to bomb Gaza?
Woah:

Saudi Arabia has put out an official statement, calling for a ceasefire but also explicitly noting that these events are the result of Israeli occupation of Palestine

I wonder how that impacts Saudi and Israeli cooperation

They *are* saying “no”, @moveincircles !

archive.is/LLUCU

Men are withdrawing from education,
Men are withdrawing from the workforce,
Men are withdrawing from the military,
And men are withdrawing from women.

In ever greater numbers, every year: x.com/moveincircles/…Image

Age.

18 year old men become 36 year old men in their next 18 years of life, starting from zero.

Increasingly they look at a sexual, financial, social, and racial dynamic at play from their adolescence and see they can’t win and are hated/scorned/mocked.

So they withdraw.
For a very long time, the deal societies gave young men was to ask a lot of them, including death—but, in return, they could reasonably expect to have a young virgin bride and an economic purpose with respect (including her respect): a household of their own.

This changed. Image

Abortion is the driver of the female electorate voting left. It boils down to:

Women keep having sex with guys who do not want to marry them—whose kids they themselves do not even want—and are terrified about being low-status single moms; so they want to be able to kill the kid
It’s not exactly a ‘men vs women’ thing — it’s all about unmarried, young (and youngish) women vs. everyone else;

Recent polling in Pennsylvania and other surveys show this.

Every other group besides unmarried women favors Republicans
Image
Image
Here’s the electoral graph for “men vs women” and then “single” vs “married”

The issue is that young unmarried women have been completely deranged by living in a completely unnatural state of affairs which is medicalized and politicized, concerning intimate social relations.

Idea:

The US colonizes Haiti, turning it into a deportation exile zone where all illegal aliens, violent criminals, and former members of the dismantled deep state (and of course Haitians losing TPS) are all sent

The Dominican Republic gets $1 billion annually in border aid
There’s no reason that you couldn’t air drop food, construction equipment, building materials, fuel supplies, etc. In fact there should be a US military occupation of the entire Western side of Hispaniola, formerly Haiti, to oversee infrastructure development and gang elimination
Eventually, US troops withdraw, and all the people—the 11 Million there now + some 25 Million deportees—would be charged with forming a new national identity and government, with all at their disposal

I think former State Dept/USAID types would have to find it all quite exciting

On Warp, "cancellation", brand equity, virality, courage, panic, hypocrisy, and reasonableness

-

For FIFTEEN YEARS, from 2000 (that's right, before 9/11) to April of 2015 (mere months before Trump announced his presidential run), Subway was defined by one Mr. Jared Fogle:Image
I realize as a decrepit old man some of you whippersnappers all of 24 in 2024 were BORN in 2000 (insane btw) but this mfer was EVERYWHERE for a decade and a half. Constantly on "television" or "TV"
(TV was like dedicated TikTok in a box)

Here's Jared explaining it all in 2015:
Jared Fogle was more than inspiring, he was THE "get" for a 'fast casual' or 'quick service restaurant'.

He *lost weight* eating Subway. What??
No one *loses* weight.

This is America—land of the gas guzzler, subprime mortgage, endless foreign war, diabetes—and he LOST weight??Image

This is what a lot of political discourse boils down to Image
Our national life is dominated by the people in the middle, who are - if not women themselves - highly feminized by school and institutional employment
“There’s a typo on the graph!!”

If you did that, the substance of the abortion debate would be revealed as;

Women keep having sex with guys who do not want to marry them, whose kids they themselves don’t even want, and are terrified about being low-status single moms—so they want to be able to kill the kid
Rape & incest (incest??!) are used to bully people into silence but are a tiny percentage of abortions and the women who have the fewest abortions (college educated white/asian) are the most vocal and the ones who have the most (non-college black) are also most often single moms
You’re not supposed to point it out bc you’re calling a lot of women not just slutty but ghoulish in how self-serving and narcissistic they are

But it’s true 🤷‍♂️

That’s why this is such an intractable political problem — dudes still wanna smash these hoes so they aren’t honest
