Out of Sync

Published by

You know what’s tiresome? Always being out of sync with everybody else. Everybody I talked to in RL is happy with the Iran war. The Trumpists, the anti-Trumpists, the mega-MAGAs, the mega-libs.

It’s fine, I’m used to it. It’s never going to be as bad as during COVID when I routinely heard accusations that I wanted to murder my own child. But it would be nice just once to share in the group spirit about something.

I’m glad I got some support here on the blog. It gets very lonely sometimes and I swear I don’t do it on purpose.

    OT: russia wants Indians…. to that end there seem to have been a bunch of videos of russian women acting like prostitutes with showy signs of physical affection for Indians…

    This will not end well for most russian women…. (not that I especially care about that, it’s almost funny).

      Excellent results for the supposed “Russian nationalist” Putin. People are such morons. They’ve been screeching about his “nationalism” for 20 years. Dumb losers.

    The vast majority of liberals and Democrats are very much against the invasion and a large cross-section of Republicans are also against it. The only people in favor are the Trumpers….(Trump supporters first; Republicans second.) Almost every poll bears this out. I know that polls aren’t necessarily accurate. But when a polls shows 3 against to 1 for, it does indicate that something is unpopular. You are firmly with the majority here.

      Thank you! I’m glad. I’ve been feeling completely alone among my already small circle of acquaintance over this.

    US is a junior partner in this relationship, this part is now confirmed. And anyone suggesting otherwise is retarded or a rabid zionist.

    Also, we’re watching your theory of politics collapse in real time.

      I didn’t say Minnesota raids were stopped “over the polls”. I said they were stopped because people were coming out into the streets ready to die to stop them.

      I do agree with Walsh’s statement. This sounds beyond humiliating.

        You made the point several times why Trump would bother wasting political capital on something that has dwindling to no support. You explicitly used the phrase “wasting political capital.”

        Suddenly he has no problem doing so. I wonder why.

          OK, so why? Has anybody come up with an explanation? What is it? Blackmail? Bribery? Has anybody advanced a theory?

          Because yes, it’s gotten to a crazy point. Everybody can see that. But what’s the explanation?

            I despised this word play crap when the libs did it and I despise it just as much when Republicans do it.

            One possible candidate theory: it is organized and nepotistic jewish interests, with outsized influence in finance, media, government, and academia, resulting in drastic consequences for our country, both domestically and abroad.

            Like how minnesota has been captured by somalis but on a larger scale. If low-iq africans can do this to a state in america, imagine how much power can a higher iq people accrue with a similar level of coordination and nepotism.

              This means we are screwed. So not great news. Because did you hear that Israel is now hinting that Turkey needs to be taken out?

    It’s too soon for me to have anything like an informed opinion.

    This gentleman might be useful in helping to obtain one: https://thelawdogfiles.substack.com/p/sepah-e-qods

    So, Iran parts 1 – 3 might also fill in the gaps. I can personally attest to the gentleman’s reliability: He reports what he knows accurately and honestly. How large a piece of the puzzle however? See “too soon.”

    Might be localized to where you live. Where I live the vast majority are against it, which is actually kinda rare given how the people in power generally take great care to vilify the country to be bombed. They can’t really do it very well with Iran.

    I’m also watching Tucker’s latest video, he’s very against it:
    https://x.com/TuckerCarlson/status/2028566419277811797

    And so are many other people on the right side of the spectrum. Matt Walsh is coming out very strongly against it:
    https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/2028593206070214910?s=20

    And the war just started. All Iran has to do is keep lobbing bombs and hold on for a few months because Trump himself said this wouldn’t last that long. Can you imagine if this turns into a serious war into the November election? I really don’t understand why people in power do these things. Same thing happened with Putin going into Ukraine.

      I watched the Tucker video. It’s really good. I didn’t hear anything I could object to.

      To add insult to injury, nobody is even talking about the domestic agenda any more because now it’s all about this.

        The scariest part of what Tucker said that resonated, this is the kind of thing that results in terrorist attacks on American soil later on.

    “being out of sync with everybody else”

    Try being against the first gulf war in a university town….

    Non-university people were all huffed up about “kicking Saddam’s butt!”

    Those against the war were either trying to make Palestinians the big victims…. cause that’s what they did or were actively defending Saddam as a popular figure on the Arab street (not a term anyone was using but he did have a lot of support in the non-rich Arab world because everybody hated the Kuwaitis with a burning passion).

    I just thought it was a bad idea that wouldn’t produce anything good…

      Guess whom Trump is blaming for his failure to achieve a swift victory in Iran?

      Ukraine.

      Well, at least he knows that the invasion of Iran is going sideways which is why he needs to assign guilt to others c
