israeli society is an absolute pit of filth

I feel like in the past two years, it’s been proven without a doubt that people in power can insist on their own truths to get away with whatever they want, even when the majority of the public know they’re telling lies.

No matter how bad the lie is, if they repeat it enough they won’t be held accountable

All that, and the US has the perk of not having to fight wars on its own territories. The US fought and lost in Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc., but never on “American” land.

While these wars have destroyed millions of lives abroad, caused incalculable damage to land and infrastructure, the US public and its ways of life have hardly had a burden to bear

we're on month 6 of Trump threatening tariffs and Carney bending the knee

i can't comment on any causation, but israel has escalated its attacks on Yemen in the last week, destroying ports, power stations, and other civillian infrastructure in Yemen. i'm not 100% sure about the timeline, but it could be a tit-for-tat kind of thing?

I was only familiar with their shortform content, like reels on instagram or youtube shorts, but I guess they make an actual podcast too. The shortform content regularly gets a 1m plus views, so I think it's pretty popular among lib-left (and left) zoomers and milennials

The shortform stuff is mostly comedy and jokes. Two people on the subway, one person gives their take (often a semi-ironic/absurd but defensible thing), the host agrees or disagrees, and the guest explains/justifies it. They talk into Metro cards like they're mics. It's entertaining stuff imo, a bit sloppish but not a total void.

Imagine Kamala trying to explain in 1-3 minutes why bacon is a spice in an attempt to show that she is funny and relatable

In addition to other recs, I check ME_Observer and SpectatorIndex. Sometimes when lots of news I’ll keep a tab open with Hasan stream
