Trump loyalist Lara Loomer posted on X, “Are all of the Jew haters going to be calling out the Catholic bishops and the Marxist American Pope for condemning deportations?”
Who is she calling out here? Fuentes? I was baffled by this but it kinda makes sense if she means actual-antisemites and not "antisemites". But that also doesn't work because those are the exact people I would expect to complain the most about this?
Do you see much of that? As far as I can tell there are only about a dozen "Israeli" "liberals" remaining, and their liberalism is like "keep doing genocide but in a way that doesn't look so bad. And also allow gay marriage".
He's not wrong if by "the dream" he means "whatever narrative is used to motivate the masses". The US's genocide is distant enough that they can pretend to have higher ideals, and people like Peeto will sometimes believe it. That's simply not feasible while the genocide is ongoing.
Exactly, we need a pipeline, an infrastructure, an ecosystem, that gets our basic ideas out to essentially the whole population, and then draws people in to engage more deeply, one tiny step at a time, until a few become a cadre of real theory nerds, and then actual thought-leaders and contemporary theorists. (And note that the theory nerds and theorists are not necessarily "the vanguard" but can/do overlap.) It's up to us to find the best way to reach different audiences who are at different levels. And as a movement we're not nearly good enough at this but we are gradually improving. I think the original video is basically correct, but arguing against a bit of a strawman, we've mostly moved beyond that point at least.
I don't see how the US has any viable options other than bombings. Anything else has such high risks I doubt they'd attempt it. Bombing is plenty bad enough obviously, but seems unlikely to achieve their goals.
Feels like they're not even trying to convince anyone, just provide a script to for friendly media to spoon-feed their most credulous and most cynical supporters.
I guess if they have a short, tidy little war then people will just kinda move on and forget about this, so it sort of works in that case. But if anything happens to cause sustained attention, this kinda bullshit will completely fall apart and wreck the credibility of everyone involved. And I feel like it's already reaching that attention threshold just because Trump can't resist making everything into a spectacle.
Huh, didn't realize they were used for refueling. Apparently mostly used to top off other aircraft after takeoff but before their mission. Wouldn't think that would be worth the hassle in most cases, especially with such short distances as this would be. Interesting.

Maybe she's just too mad to post coherently?
