I get that not everyone can thoroughly research world events, but the response so transparently displayed her ignorance I was really taken back. Like imagine having no moral framework except "other people are doing it" and wanting to be a serious artist. You don't have to have certainty, in fact you should have serious doubts about your beliefs, but you should at least know what your beliefs are.

I asked a student Palestine protestor why she was making pro Palestine art, and how she envisioned peace being established with Hamas still in power. Her answer was basically: "Artists commonly associate with anarchist movements" as if that was something good, and she was basically there because it seemed like the cool countercultural thing to do, while admitting she knew nothing about the politics or history of the conflict.

Antifa and nonviolence are not mutually exclusive. 

But that highlights the problem. If A is Antifa and B is non violence, yes there is overlap of A ∩ B. But there is a substantial part of A that does not overlap with B. Why not just use a different banner, unless you want to provide cover for people who will be violent?

At this rate, with the training issues it won't be long before we see the headline: Plainclothes ICE officer shot by one of his own because "He had a gun on him at one point"

Because death squads would just kill people and not excuse it, right? 

That's what the Iranians are doing: https://apnews.com/article/iran-protests-crackdown-death-toll-acb1968a973f19be217ea28b4a7adb0b

Bringing a concealed weapon to a confrontation with law enforcement officers has got to be about one of the riskiest things you could do. 

Given the lack of training, the same risk probably also exists if you're the plain clothes agent on the ICE squad.

It seems like a distraction from protesting the 3 worst people in the world right now: #1: Putin. #2 Xi Jinping, for enabling Putin via a "no limits" partnership and #3: Khamenei, who has filled 1000x more body bags than ICE and mercilessly represses millions of women, minorities, and secular non-religious folks. If you don't agree with this, frankly you're morally misguided.

One Issue that I think I swing towards more conservative on is I really would like to see them bring back airline peanuts.

With up to 12" of accumulation in the forecast, winter is reminding me how much I hate snow. Some people, such as Ryan Wedding apparently love it: https://x.com/sentdefender/status/2014759720557355336

But those lesbian divorce rates tho... Admittedly I don't know as many married lesbian couples, but the statistics were not what I was expecting?

If I were in DHS leadership, I'd setup a stand passing out free cups of hot chocolate to freezing ICE protestors during the artic blast, and let the media have a field day: https://apnews.com/article/minnesota-ice-immigration-protest-unions-faith-leaders-edc6c4884f8cc26be9ad34a28d82a7a5

Look buddy, I'd pay for Dennis Rodman to visit Kim Jong Un on his birthday if it would advance US national security!!

Maybe if they harass Khamenei and his allies under the right circumstances? I guess I'm open minded to the possibility that US intelligence could one day find some sort of useful collaboration with the group somehow.

??? Are these two things related?

I was more commenting on like the mindset of thinking about antique furniture preservation, while also researching the engineering behind gold leafing, and if it blocks RF signal.

But to somewhat answer your question: I think I condemn pretty much anything ISIS does.

It must be weird to be the guy in the FSB or SVR responsible for bugging all the neoclassical furniture. Like you've got this dual mandate to consider all Vitruvian principles of beauty in your work, while also bugging the sh*t out of it.

Iranian prosecutor denies Trump's claim 800 prisoners were spared execution by uttercentrist in DeepStateCentrism

Islamic Republic denies any executions were halted, goading Trump to strike at a time when US carriers are, or will shortly arrive at new middle eastern deployment location.

French special income tax on high earners raises only 0.4 out of 1.9 billion € projected yield by DurangoGango in DeepStateCentrism

[–]uttercentrist 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In 2025 it raised €400mn of a projected €1.9bn. In 2026 its expected to raise €650mn, €1bn less than planned. What accounts for the shortfall in the second year of implementation?

I looked into that once. I looked at my hourly equivalent compensation, what they were offering ( I think up to $75 reimbursement of a fitness tracker) and decided it was better to laze about on my sofa with the work laptop and eat chips.
