Oh epic does he bring up Chomsky too, what a surprise.

Yes, though it was in passing and I don’t recall exactly what he said.

deeply unserious

literally a call to violence

the latest episode of Oats for Breakfast was an interview with Norman Finkelstein, most of which was about his personal history in the occupied West Bank during the first intifada, but also touching on trump v harris/biden and the war since october 7. Finkelstein is such a pleasure to listen to, truly the ultimate in earnest no-fun scolding. the interviewer on the podcast is a bit milquetoast at times, but that makes the interview even better because of finkelstein’s strident moralism and rigor.

one thoughtful point raised by finkelstein was about the risk of fascism with trump’s election - he makes the point that fascist states have emerged in history as a response to strong left wing movements. there is no strong left wing mass movement in the US, so there is less incentive for the state to be openly fascist.

if I was concerned about fascism emerging through the american electoral system I would simply not belong to a party that wants to go along with 95% of fascism

I’ve been doing a lot of canning and dehydrating lately to make shelf stable food and it’s pretty fun. However, it only really makes sense if you can grow food or otherwise have easy access to picking (like gleaning) and if you have shelf storage space. The different pieces of gear also add up in terms of cost, especially if you are buying new. Used stuff is reasonably common though. My canned tomatoes are better than what I get in the store for sure though.

Mkb on Iran-Saudi relations viz a viz Israel and trump v2.

I think Mkb is wrong when he describes trump’s cabinet as Zionists but not neocons but the overall sentiment that the diplomatic grounds of West Asia have shifted since trump v1 is correct.

No shots, just a business case to make elon’s space force contracts more lucrative

A technocratic nightmare that kills hundreds of thousands, yes

I thought whole point of that setting is that literally everyone is sacrificed to war, regardless of the side. Space marines are one in a million combatants at best, just like how chaos has one cool demon for every jillion little bullshit mobs.

As a vegan, I’m glad that plagues borne of the horrors of animal agriculture and carnism don’t affect me

Oh wait, fuck

Maybe but I think a lot of these nitwits are going to legit be malding when they see that Trump is just a fresh coat of paint on the same old shit instead of a based God emperor

See bernie bros, this is how a true liberal like Biden makes threats at women. Contrast that with the awful hate speech leveled at Liz Cheney

One thing that modernity is better at is allowing this kind of depravity to be executed at arms length and with plausible deniability to (some) perpetrators and beneficiaries

These people are idiots with no political understanding
