Every ethnic group has territorial greivances

All human history was war over territory

After WW2 we agreed to respect arbitrary borders to end wars

Everyone but Palestinians

Nothing special about their greivances

It’s not Israeli oppression

Just misguided intransigence
Palestinians had a chance to opt for peaceful cohabitation

They refused…opted for war

Wars have consequences…Territorial consequences

You can’t have it both ways

Refuse arbitrary borders and opt for war…then cry that borders change when you lose the war

It’s delusional
The Palestine-Israel conflict is essentially the Black Knight skit from Monty Python

Every single territorial dispute in human history ends in a negotiated settlement after some type of violent conflict

Except this one

Palestinians get to keep pretending they’ll eventually win

We were definitively informed that Carbon dating left no doubt that rising atmospheric CO2 was man-made

I had accepted this as a scientific fact

If this paper is accurate, then anthropogenic climate change ceases to be an issue for serious people to debate
There are counters to this paper which is why I couch my tweet in “if this paper is accurate”

My point: there was no debate…and now there is

Keep in mind: per unit volume, seawater holds nearly 150 times more CO2 than air
This varies by concentration of atmospheric CO2 as well as temp

More CO2 in air, more CO2 absorbed by oceans

But also CO2 is less soluble as temp increases

So as oceans warm, more CO2 released into air

It’s a complex relationship making it causation/correlation tricky

A long time ago I looked at the stock market and realized that stocks weren’t worth the dividends they paid out

And then I realized money was essentially worthless...we already live in an MMT world

So I decided to invest my money in tangible assets, knowing full well that I… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

This is stupid populism

Doesn’t matter why they’re protesting…right?

They’re like the Dutch farmers? Wrong

Protesting to retire at 62 (instead of 64) is not the same as protesting to save your farm in the face of climate tyranny

Twitter has an intellectual honesty problem
I’m actually a farmer in the EU and agriculture is under attack due to woke bureaucrats

These are causes worth supporting

And then there are twitter influencers looking for likes and follows

Protesting for early retirement is not a righteous cause

Do better @PeterSweden7
I don’t care how it was forced through

Mandatory retirement shouldn’t be 62 if your life expectancy is 83

Listen to @piersmorgan’s admitting the mistakes he made regarding Covid lockdowns/vaccines

He was pretty self-righteous/sanctimonious and aggressively judgemental about those who disagreed with “teh science”

Listen then vote you reaction

Poll below in next tweet👇
What is your reaction to hearing him admit he was wrong?
The majority of people were wrong about Covid policy

You need to incentivize people to recognize their mistakes otherwise next time we’ll still be in the minority

I’d rather somebody that behaved like a jerk admit they were wrong than to double down like many others

🧵Thread: Trump Indictment 🧵

(sorry didn't speak earlier on @MarioNawfal show)

What's going on here is simple

Democrats need Trump to remain politically relevant to have a chance at winning in 2024

And they know that when they attack Trump, Republicans unify around him

1
The calculation is really simple to understand

Everybody already has an opinion on Trump

There aren't any undecided voters to win over or moderates/independents to be flipped

In a matchup between Trump and Biden the key dynamic is the turnout of a specific type of voter

2
Trump has a very enthusiastic voter base that is going to come out for him

Biden doesn't have many enthusiastic voters...but he has a ton of UNenthusiastic voters who basically vote for him because he's not Trump

Turnout of these voters is the key to the general election
