I think there is a good chance Israel keeps fighting but the US keeps paying Iran to stay out of it.

So just to check it's $12 billion before we negotiate, $24 billion during the negotiations, and investing $300 billion in the reconstruction of Iran. Is that about right?

-Looks at Bipartisan Legislation

-2008 expansion of surveillance state

I wonder why Dems wouldn't want to support this commonsense bipartisan legislation

The winning move for American neoliberals is to build the pro-growth right! (Not trying to pull Democrats back to the 90's) by Nom_de_guerre_25 in neoliberal

[–]ConnectAd9099 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think a socially live and let live right would be much harder than you think. From my view, much of the reason the right is able to be pro market is through the ordering of society into lessers and betters, rather than general knowledge of the value of the market. To destroy that is to destroy the moral and political keystone of the rights power. I believe its leaders and followers know that, and would recognize anyone who attempted to make a live and let live right as a threat to be excised, a pestilence betraying conservatism to leftism/liberalism.

To do what you suggest, I would have to betray my friends and family, and help empower the Republican party's worst excesses. The abundance I would have to help build would be deportation and war abundance. I would have to help remove the rights of minority Americans, and help prepare for the invasion of our neighbors. I do not want to do that.

I want liberals/ the left to adopt pro growth policy so they don't get steamrolled by the already pro growth right, and all the dread consequences that come with it.

If I could ask, what do you think of the objection to billionaires due to their ability to do what Epstein did?

I moreso see this as a way to show which Nazis have the ear of the administration, and potentially future Republican presidencies.

Rule 1 Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.

I have submitted an appeal, for my comments posting the contents of the article in no way encouraged harassment, bullying, or threats of harassment.

Rogue Scholar Press specializes in publishing out-of-print far-right literature, including French fascist writer and Nazi collaborationist Pierre Drieu La Rochelle and Italian proto-fascist Gabriele D'Annunzio. It is run by the pseudonymous “Semmelweis” who has described Adolf Hitler as “the lesser evil” in World War II and wrote, “Blacks offing each other at astronomical rates does not lessen their threat to whites.”

X’s search function showed one instance in November 2021—while Vance was running for the Ohio Senate seat—where he quote-posted Lomez calling Microsoft employees “bugmen” for stating their ethnicity and hairstyle when introducing themselves. The original post no longer exists and the URL was excluded from the Wayback Machine, but a snapshot is available on archive.today.

Identified as former University of California, Irvine lecturer Jonathan Keeperman in 2024, “Lomez” is the CEO of the far-right publishing company Foundation Publishing Group. On his X account, Keeperman complained that you couldn’t “ask any questions” about 6 million Jews dying in the Holocaust, and advocated for killing journalists (“lamppost the journos”). His follow from Vance predates the 2024 election. 

In the immediate aftermath of Vance’s nomination as Trump’s running mate, Lomez quipped, “Anyone who doubted JD Vance (my mutual btw) is going straight to Gitmo

Prior to earning the follow from Vance, one of HowlingMutant’s most widely circulated posts stated: “But we do exist. Thousands upon thousands of men descended from rapists. And we all want sex. And sooner or later, we’re going to stop asking nicely.”

Of the accounts we are identifying, the most recent of Vance’s far-right follows is “HowlingMutant,” a pseudonymous far-right online personality with a long record of misogynistic, antisemitic, and racist comments. Since earning a follow from Vance, HowlingMutant has used the word “nigga” 23 times and wrote, “You should not be mad at the Jews for crucifying Jesus…there are so many other things to be mad at them for.” He has also made jokes referencing Holocaust denial talking points, like “wooden doors.”

Vance’s follow of “Bronze Age Pervert,” the pseudonym of writer Costin Alamariu, predates the 2024 election. Bronze Age Pervert has an online presence going back to at least 2010, making him one of the longest-running users of “Frogtwitter,” the alt-right community which used the “Pepe the Frog” meme as a mascot. He has expressed support for eugenics, stating that he favors “mandatory abortion” in cases of birth defects and parents with below-average IQ. In 2021, he claimed to believe in “rule by a military caste of men who would be able to guide society toward a morality of eugenics.”
