Dehumanization works because many of the popular cultures around the world treat non-humans terribly. As we’re talking about the “cradle” of Western civilization, we’re talking about pastoralists especially.

In case anyone forgot from autumn 2023:

On Saturday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israelis were united in their fight against Hamas, whom he described as an enemy of incomparable cruelty. “They are committed to completely eliminating this evil from the world,” Netanyahu said in Hebrew. He then added: “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember.”

As others quickly pointed out, God commands King Saul in the first Book of Samuel to kill every person in Amalek, a rival nation to ancient Israel. “This is what the Lord Almighty says,” the prophet Samuel tells Saul. “‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”

Extracting rent can be seen as private taxation. He’s not a “career politician”, so I’m trying to understand how he’d see it from the private realm.

An entry fee, a toll, a tax, a rent - whatever. In the end, the cost will be added to the products going in. It’s not a usual tariff, but the outcome is the same. Maybe he thinks that this trickery helps avoid problems with “free trade” conventions.

It can be both. Lying is more convincing when it’s felt as truth by the liar.

One thing that fascinates me is that Trump’s definition of tariffs seems more like the definition of kickbacks.

As he was (is?) a landlord, he may also think of it as seeking rent, like how malls get rent from the stores inside.

this looks truthy

It’s a good movie.

No.

Going into ketosis is well known in science for the increase in autophagy: fat, yes, but also muscles. It’s literally a mechanism targeted for use as therapy for certain conditions.

These ketobro clowns used to mention some traditional meat eating populations like the Inuit, but they don’t usually anymore. Yeah, those are people who “did keto” for a very long time.

The Inuit literally evolved genetic adaptation to avoid ketosis while consuming a diet high in animal fats, and they still suffer the consequences.

I’m not fucking giving up, these fuckers need to be called out for their dangerous bullshit.

The “trad wives” (traditionalist / paleoconservative middle class women who believe that their religion is good for women) are looking for a husband in the traditional sense, a type of business owner / patriarch who owns them and provides for them; see: husbandry. That’s so that they can produce a lot of offspring while pretending that raising kids in near or full homeschooling is a good thing and she’s very successful (culturally).

They’re the homologues of incels and traditionalist bros who want to be rich so that they maintain some informal harem. And they deserve each other.

When and why did the British first choose to invade India? - India Today

The British first landed in India in Surat for the purpose of trade. Here’s how and why a simple trading company, the British East India Company, became one of the biggest challenges the subcontinent had ever dealt with.

The British landed in India in Surat on August 24, 1608. While India has a rich and recorded history going back 4000 years to the Indus Valley Civilisation in Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, Britain had no indigenous written language until the 9th century almost 3000 years after India. Then how was it possible for the British to start capturing this huge country and control it from 1757 to 1947?

Good point.

“Doctors nationwide are questioning what is so difficult about enacting a law for our security,” Dhruv Chauhan, from the Indian Medical Association’s Junior Doctors’ Network, told the Press Trust of India news agency. “The strike will continue until all demands are formally met.”

Based.

If you’re not familiar with the keto fanbase, good for you, btw.

Not proved wrong.

I’m not wasting time with “but actually” memes.

You know very well that I was referring to the higher intensity of autophagy going on. Useless semantics bullshit. Enjoy being blocked.

It wasn’t unique, it wasn’t a “one off”. The unique framing appeals to conservatives as it feeds into exceptionalism and impunity. “We’re special!” It’s those people who only care about stuff when it happens to them. Same as with abortions and “The only moral abortion is my abortion”.

Fundamentally, this is evidence of the failure to generalize learning (what learning is for), a grand failure of intelligence.

Israel is a semi-autonomous US military base and state.
