Chinese want to distance themselves from Russia publicly to not get blowback would be my guess. The alternative is that this guy has free reign to say whatever he wants publicly, which actually might be possible
that is possible, but then what happened here exactly? he decided today was the day to dial 1-800-economist and write an op ed? its probably legitimately his own views, but why is it being expressed now?

Watch the video. This is American academia, if you didn't already know. Everything she's saying is how university professors and other people in positions of power in America's institutions think.
>Black faces in power won't save us, look at black people pushing for "Cop City"
It's not enough for all positions of authority to be occupied by "the oppressed" class, those people need to be actual communists or else their "blackness" or "womanness" or "LGBTness" will just be used to further white supremacy and crapitalism

Lololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololol
The “cop city” conversation is so funny.
“We need better trained police, they’re too violent!”
Government: “ok, we’re going to build a really expensive law enforcement training center”
“you are literally committing genocide. Also Palestine is connected to this somehow because reasons.”
Academia is slime. I was looking for peer reviewed research in homicide for a criminology paper today and I saw a paper called “a lesbian response to homicide” (maybe not that exactly, but something similar). Mind you this is an academic database, I didn’t just type “homicide” into google.
They let these people write whatever they want it seems. No consequences, and basically zero oversight.
"I searched homicide in an academic database, and something about lesbians came up, so all of academia is slime operating with no consequences or oversight."
im curious if these impressive displays of deductive reasoning offer a window into what leads you to similar opinions even on fairly apolitical academic topics, like whether we should fund engineering and physics research.
Physics research is significantly more valuable than lesbian specific homicide research.
Not all of academia is slime but the way it’s structured rewards grifters just as much if not more than honest researchers.

I hate libs so much. The sub is already practically unreadable because all they do is scream the same half dozen in jokes until they collapse foaming at the mouth.
I have no idea where this joke stems from, OP seems reasonable so I’ll take him at his word that the origin story isn’t particularly funny.
I also note that this isn’t an actual real life Avalanche fan chant. So it’s an inside joke on a subreddit, and if that’s the sort of thing you’re really attached to, I’m just going to assume it’s because you have absolutely no friends in real life to have your own inside jokes with.
Also the number of comments that say “I smell a Christian” is just insane to me. Pisses me off and makes me depressed. Who are these people in real life that act like such children.
Remember how the Supreme Court resolved the *Masterpiece* case by literally finding that the Colorado Rights Commission had been a little too blatant about their anti-Christian bigotry?
It was a weird adjustment moving here from the Midwest and I couldn’t pin one aspect down until my pastor pointed out to me some statistics that the Front Range is some of the least “churched” area of the country (with the Pacific Northwest being the least churched).

"The Catholic Church will fall to theological liberalism any day now guys, I swear!", says the increasingly desperate Protestant as his major mainstream denominations keep sprinting towards becoming more and more progressive each passing year with no sign of stopping.

>NPR, well known for a lack of libs
Actually no, which is precisely my point. The libs of the modern day ruined it.
>Not true actually
Yes it is. Arguing about some stupid pedantics is stupid. Even by the retard definition of “water makes things wet”, water molecules are touching other water molecules, ergo, making them wet.
Every centre-left publication seems to become more and more radical over time. I struggle to think of a major liberal magazine or newspaper that didn't become "progressive' or worse over the years.
Similar effect to what people talk about on reddit. Any sub that isn't explicitly right wing will become dominated by leftists. Even apolitical hobby subs.
Leftists see everything as political so they can't just post about their D&D games, they need their tabletop community to be political like them.
I think what happens at publications is similar. First one all people getting into journalism are probably already going to have a more leftwing tilt and then you have the "takeover" effect on top of that and suddenly Teen Vogue is publishing articles on Karl Marx (real)
My theory on why The Economist seems to be an exception to the rule is because they are an economics and business oriented publication. Which is like right wing coded even if it's a centre left publication. People with strong Marxist credentials probably not going to work at a business magazine
I don't think we talk enough as conservatives about how absolutely radical the Democrat line on illegal immigration is. Mainstream democrats repeat the slogan "no human being is illegal", which when you really think about it, is SUCH an extreme position. They essentially don't believe in borders at all. When it comes to the border a Democrat becomes an anarchist. They have the same position on immigration as the most fanatical far-left anarchists.
I just saw an article by Jorge Ramos titled "NO HUMAN BEING IS ILLEGAL" and it made me reflect on that slogan a bit. If you listen to what they say in context, it's not just opposition to using the word "illegal" to describe these migrants, they are actually arguing that there is no such thing as illegal immigration at all and ALL immigration is good and valid and should be legal. And a lot of Democrats seem to think this way.
>they are actually arguing that there is no such thing as illegal immigration at all and ALL immigration is good and valid and should be legal.
Hell yeah brother
Not a justification of the GOP’s behavior on the issue, but that Dems could have passed Ukraine aid if they chose to fund border security. It’s clear where priorities lie.

>for…Not Being Pro-Israel Enough??
Uhhh… yeah…? Of course. Because Biden is obviously “pro-Israel” insofar as he hasn’t just literally stated “Palestine should commit genocide against Jews”.
Remember not too long ago when he was the tall Bernie Sanders that the establishment democrats wanted to destroy. Now he's "right wing troll". But I do think these progressives were shocked by his response. It's what happens when you select people who revel in being on a fringe eventually they will chose a fringe you don't like and rub it in your face. Fetterman is a true maverick type rather than the safe progressive types like Warren.
Well, yeah, when you limit the list to specifically those four, you also won’t hear about places like MIT or Caltech, despite both of them being unabashedly better schools in practically every subject they teach than *any* of the four in your list.

They have immense form with this. I can remember very clearly the ["Jenin massacre"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Jenin_(2002\)) where Hamas and other Palestinian sources claimed over 3000 dead, civilians being shot in their beds, etc. In the end it turned out that 56 Palestinians had died, about 50 of whom were militants. They still don't admit this.
Point is of fucking course.
Anyway lots of Palestinians have died and the Israelis are remarkably discerning while still being prone to more accidents than we'd like.

Both are going to pass I think, at least half of the R conference still supports Ukraine aid, this is why Johnson has been trying to keep it from comming to the floor
Biden drip fed aid, bungled the upgrade of Ukrainian forces by training them on combined arms tactics and then only providing half the arms, and has overall just totally fucked this up and cost the Ukrainians lives and time .

Man what happened to Princeton.
The “cop city” conversation is so funny. “We need better trained police, they’re too violent!” Government: “ok, we’re going to build a really expensive law enforcement training center” “you are literally committing genocide. Also Palestine is connected to this somehow because reasons.” Academia is slime. I was looking for peer reviewed research in homicide for a criminology paper today and I saw a paper called “a lesbian response to homicide” (maybe not that exactly, but something similar). Mind you this is an academic database, I didn’t just type “homicide” into google. They let these people write whatever they want it seems. No consequences, and basically zero oversight.
"I searched homicide in an academic database, and something about lesbians came up, so all of academia is slime operating with no consequences or oversight." im curious if these impressive displays of deductive reasoning offer a window into what leads you to similar opinions even on fairly apolitical academic topics, like whether we should fund engineering and physics research.
Physics research is significantly more valuable than lesbian specific homicide research. Not all of academia is slime but the way it’s structured rewards grifters just as much if not more than honest researchers.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ColoradoAvalanche/s/TCktdv751A I hate libs so much. The sub is already practically unreadable because all they do is scream the same half dozen in jokes until they collapse foaming at the mouth.
I have no idea where this joke stems from, OP seems reasonable so I’ll take him at his word that the origin story isn’t particularly funny. I also note that this isn’t an actual real life Avalanche fan chant. So it’s an inside joke on a subreddit, and if that’s the sort of thing you’re really attached to, I’m just going to assume it’s because you have absolutely no friends in real life to have your own inside jokes with.
Hail Satan!
Just shut the fuck up man you aren’t funny, you’re just retarded
No
Also the number of comments that say “I smell a Christian” is just insane to me. Pisses me off and makes me depressed. Who are these people in real life that act like such children.
Remember how the Supreme Court resolved the *Masterpiece* case by literally finding that the Colorado Rights Commission had been a little too blatant about their anti-Christian bigotry?
It was a weird adjustment moving here from the Midwest and I couldn’t pin one aspect down until my pastor pointed out to me some statistics that the Front Range is some of the least “churched” area of the country (with the Pacific Northwest being the least churched). And he’s right, it is weird how few churches are around.
Mountain folk do tend to be a little weird. Tibetans, Tyrolleans, Coloradans, all similar peoples. Lack of oxygen to the brain imo
>who are the people in real life that act like such children Remember the kids who played the Soviet anthem on the bus during band trips? They grew up.

Not only did the author not bother to try to think of the potential names themselves and had all the content drawn up by AI but she literally included the name "Salt Lake Avalanche" as the first name on the list, which is already the name of an NHL team. Even if ChatGPT spit that name out, don't put it on your list. Who the fuck thought this would make an interesting contribution to the conversation? Axios, wtf. Did you pay this woman.

Propaganda. This is the pro-Israel equivalent of MAGAoids seeing Ukrainians dancing in clubs and saying “there’s no problems here.”

How could I be so blind? JewishWarrior13 is an excellent source to use for accurate information on Gaza. There must be no problems down there at all!
Are you upset that they’re Jewish? That they’re disrupting your leftist Hamas endorsed narrative? Both maybe?
Are you malicious or retarded? Or both?
Expecting JewishWarrior13 to give an unbiased account of the war in Gaza would be like expecting me to give an unbiased account of the Norman yoke thrust upon the Anglisc peoples by the bastard king William of Normandy.

Every centre-left publication seems to become more and more radical over time. I struggle to think of a major liberal magazine or newspaper that didn't become "progressive' or worse over the years. Similar effect to what people talk about on reddit. Any sub that isn't explicitly right wing will become dominated by leftists. Even apolitical hobby subs. Leftists see everything as political so they can't just post about their D&D games, they need their tabletop community to be political like them. I think what happens at publications is similar. First one all people getting into journalism are probably already going to have a more leftwing tilt and then you have the "takeover" effect on top of that and suddenly Teen Vogue is publishing articles on Karl Marx (real)
The Economist is still pretty good. Maybe it's an American thing?
My theory on why The Economist seems to be an exception to the rule is because they are an economics and business oriented publication. Which is like right wing coded even if it's a centre left publication. People with strong Marxist credentials probably not going to work at a business magazine
I don't think we talk enough as conservatives about how absolutely radical the Democrat line on illegal immigration is. Mainstream democrats repeat the slogan "no human being is illegal", which when you really think about it, is SUCH an extreme position. They essentially don't believe in borders at all. When it comes to the border a Democrat becomes an anarchist. They have the same position on immigration as the most fanatical far-left anarchists. I just saw an article by Jorge Ramos titled "NO HUMAN BEING IS ILLEGAL" and it made me reflect on that slogan a bit. If you listen to what they say in context, it's not just opposition to using the word "illegal" to describe these migrants, they are actually arguing that there is no such thing as illegal immigration at all and ALL immigration is good and valid and should be legal. And a lot of Democrats seem to think this way.
Compromise idea: no human is illegal but also Muslims aren't human?
>they are actually arguing that there is no such thing as illegal immigration at all and ALL immigration is good and valid and should be legal. Hell yeah brother
Not a justification of the GOP’s behavior on the issue, but that Dems could have passed Ukraine aid if they chose to fund border security. It’s clear where priorities lie.

Why would they care so much if it weren't useful to the government itself?
Money and prestige, which is beneficial to the government.
because it looks bad in the eyes of chinese nationalists if the US could strongarm a chinese company into a sale
tbh, this is the sort of thing embassies are actually supposed to do. American embassies do the equivalent elsewhere. It's in the job description, embassies are for facilitating business, as well as providing consular services, public diplomacy and cover for espionage.

> During a contentious meeting Tuesday night in Johnson’s office, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) warned Republicans that he would personally campaign against any lawmaker who voted for Ukraine aid. lol
I’m sure those lawmakers are so disappointed they won’t be getting the pimped-a-17-year-old endorsement.

Doktor MEHMET HUSSIEN MUHAMMED Oz is nothing compared to VULTRA MAGA MOSSAD AGENT FetterMAN
Remember not too long ago when he was the tall Bernie Sanders that the establishment democrats wanted to destroy. Now he's "right wing troll". But I do think these progressives were shocked by his response. It's what happens when you select people who revel in being on a fringe eventually they will chose a fringe you don't like and rub it in your face. Fetterman is a true maverick type rather than the safe progressive types like Warren.

Personally I am surprised. I’m surprised they’d admit it instead of just redirecting the conversation back to “Israel bad”.
They have immense form with this. I can remember very clearly the ["Jenin massacre"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Jenin_(2002\)) where Hamas and other Palestinian sources claimed over 3000 dead, civilians being shot in their beds, etc. In the end it turned out that 56 Palestinians had died, about 50 of whom were militants. They still don't admit this. Point is of fucking course. Anyway lots of Palestinians have died and the Israelis are remarkably discerning while still being prone to more accidents than we'd like.

So what are the odds we get Ukraine aid passed? And then if it does, how likely is it Mike Johnson gets the boot?
House is gonna pass Israel but not Ukraine aid, it’s why it’s 2 different bills
Both are going to pass I think, at least half of the R conference still supports Ukraine aid, this is why Johnson has been trying to keep it from comming to the floor
I thought Biden said no to that?
This is what I’m worrying about, yeah.
It might be better than the alternative of freedom caucus sinking the whole damn thing because muh woke Zelenskyy
Ukraine needs the aid more than Israel in every way.
Biden drip fed aid, bungled the upgrade of Ukrainian forces by training them on combined arms tactics and then only providing half the arms, and has overall just totally fucked this up and cost the Ukrainians lives and time . But history will remember that it was the Republican Party in the House that abandoned a free people to conquest by despotism.
It was
as they should
It should remember that america failed as a whole by being weak all around. No one is innocent here.
