Genocidal liberalism will never defeat genocidal fascism.

America is only coherent as an empire built on pillaging the ever shifting periphery, internal and external, which has slowly reduced the breadth of viable ideological positions to various visions of individualism. Trump is just an extremely expressive cultivar of the staple crop

the leftist position is that people’s positions, even if horrific, have roots in their material reality. the liberal position as best i can tell is that 20-30% of the country has an irredeemably evil soul. i guess im going with the one you could actually do something about.

got nothing appropriate to say about this, other than to say that genocide is worse than any flag burning, and that what is or is not considered “violent” or “peaceful” by the political establishment and those in power will always prioritize maintaining the status quo.

IMO, there are a lot of accounts on here that performatively worship tradition but know very little about tradition. The comments are less about traditions and more about how they hate certain things. Many also don't practice what they preach.

A university with a $10 billion endowment and tuition nearing $70k can afford to treat its workers with respect and maintain appropriate staffing levels.

One of countless examples I’ve come across that early Christians (like Tertullian here) have no problem with Roman ideas of penalty, only who it’s directed against.

6 Israeli soldiers who recently left Gaza "described being authorized to open fire on Palestinians virtually at will, including civilians" army hiding corpses from aid convoys "so that 'images of people in advanced stages of decay don’t come out.'"

Stories western media routinely ignore:
1. Israel’s use of Hannibal procedure on Oct. 7
2. Gaza death toll likely far higher than recorded (Lancet study)
3. Genocidal comments by Israeli officials and soldiers
4. Israeli soldiers’ obsession with Palestinian women’s underwear

There is something quite eerily magical about these frescoes that decorate the wall around the peristyle garden in the House of Menander, #Pompeii in that it takes a while for your eyes to make out the ghostly presence of birds & animals amongst the painted foliage.
#FrescoFriday
ALT A heron type bird strutting off to the left and on the right the faded foliage of a bush
ALT A faded bird seemingly flying in to perch on a plant whose long leaves can just be made out
ALT A heron (?) standing behind some very faded green foliage
ALT A dog chases a deer(?) through the greenery. Behind the colonnaded portico where the niche with the fresco of Menander seated and reading his scroll.
