This is from a book by Mikhail Veller, a Jewish Russian-language writer:

US Jews are the active force of left-wing movements. They work to create chaos and bring about a collapse of institutions, achieve the triumph of aggressive stupidity and enshrine a parasitic worldview. They are convinced that this constitutes progress. Why do Jews support leftist movements, helping to destroy the USA, a country where Jews are doing well and everyone is doing well – and to establish an insane socialist order led by dominant minorities? An order that will clearly and inevitably lead to cruelty, bloodshed, economic collapse, devastation, chaos and civil war. Because these minorities cannot run a country. Try to find a single example where they could. You'll find none. Why do left-wing Jews in the USA act to their own and their country's detriment? Are they suicidal morons? In other words: why do they objectively strive for a result that they cannot possibly want?

My dad is almost 80 and is required to do app based authentication plus real ID verification plus phone 2fa and captchas to reorder his meds through the VA

If I wasn't here he just … wouldn't be able to. He doesn't know what an auth app is, he doesn't know a secret key

The complexity of getting any services for retired people who aren’t familiar with the constantly changing technology is aimed at excluding them from welfare. It’s a standard neoliberal move. Old age requires a lot of welfare protection, and that’s annoying to neoliberals. I’ve noticed this on my trip to Canada where I have three retired relatives. I helped them renew their dental cards and noticed that it would have been very onerous for them without a younger person to do the online renewal.

The bronze winner has the right attitude to life. Let’s all be like this happy, confident dude who makes his own joy b

Woman finds out she is pregnant. Husband gets deployed. Brother in law hits on her.

Would you tell him immediately whilst he’s still deployed?

Or wait until he gets back? pic.twitter.com/aPRGxrXsf6

I would never tell him. So the young dude said something stupid. Big freep. Maybe he was drunk. Why make a mega big deal about it? Why spoil a sibling relationship over a couple of clumsy phrases? I understand that the wife is hormonal but she needs to get over herself. In 30, 40, 50 years, her husband will really need his brother. Robbing him of that over a chance to feel self-righteous stinks.

Wait, so it turns out that this whole time Biden also had a very bad form of cancer? And they still tried to run him?

That’s so grim. And cynical.

Whoever said I was dumb to trust the union was right. OK, I know nobody said it in those words but people thought it. And they were right.

The union conspired with my colleagues to exclude me from the bargaining process. They broke the procedure set out in our collective bargaining agreement, so the need to exclude me must have been pretty pressing.

At this point, I have no idea what’s been negotiated because it’s been done behind my back.

This all happened a week ago, and I so don’t care that I didn’t even bother to blog about it. But then I thought that I owe the people who tried to warn me about the duplicity of the union an honest account of the story.

I’m not putting a brave face on it, I promise. I really don’t care. I acted with absolute integrity throughout the process. I sacrificed my interests to protect somebody who had caused me a lot of annoyance because it was morally right. I waged a battle against my baser instincts and won. Plus, I have my writing accelerator next week and who cares about department drama.

Freud urgently needed to decipher the true feelings of the Germans behind this social housing for refugees:

The Daily Mail has released this thing where you put your postcode in and it says what percentage of people don't speak english in your area. That is absolutely abhorrent and a clear incitement to racial tension and worse.

This is why I keep saying that the concepts of hate speech and incitement to violence should be abandoned entirely. For as long as they exist, people who describe themselves as “Activist/neuroqueer. Former Lived Experience Worker” (does anybody know what fresh hell that is, by the way?) will declare reality hateful and inciting and persecute anybody who notices it.

In the meantime, British schools are having another completely normal one:

One book used in classrooms claims black people built Stonehenge, whilst free resources produced by a subject organisation celebrate the genital mutilation of a slave as a form of ‘gender transition’. . . Written by Atinuke, the Nigerian-born British author, [a history textbook] says that “Britain was a black country for more than 7,000 years before white people came”. . . Research showed that key elements of British history have been dropped by schools as fewer than one in five teach the Battle of Agincourt and only 11 per cent include the Battles of Trafalgar and Waterloo.

What do you think, friends? Is Britain done for or can it still come back from this?

Neoliberalism is feminine by nature. It rewards those who stand up to it and impose their will.

An iron-clad inner structure, a meticulous sense of discipline, a rigid carapace of duty, an unbreakable focus, and a constant process of self-regulation – these are the qualities that neoliberalism does everything to destroy. These are also the qualities that it rewards. The perfect neoliberal subject is emotionally dysregulated, weak-willed, driven by his whims, and convinced that “duty” and “obligation” are dirty words. Neoliberalism repays him for this obedience to its precepts with poverty, illness, and painful internal disorders.
