The absolute hysteria to think that, assuming some Islamic global agenda even actually existed and wasn’t itself a laughable idea, that the Islamic global agenda would be targeting fucking Denmark.

Denmark needs to realize people forget it exists. It’s not high on anyone’s agenda.

Still love the truck though

I think we underestimate how fucking bad Biden was.

Imagine your Gen Z. Your late teens or early 20s were spent in lockdowns. You followed the rules while boomers spat at you. You saw Biden support open genocide in Gaza. The economy started sliding and your cohort was the group that got impacted by this. Housing isn’t even a dream you’d be happy if you can afford rent in a share house.

The Dems ran Kamala and her promise was that “ummm nothing much will really change.”

The Dems were betting that outrage against Trump would allow them to be pure neolib Zionists who did absolutely fucking nothing for young people, or most people.

Was it ever really the case that Gen Z was swinging right? Or was it more that the “center left” was offering literally nothing at all.

I’m not saying economic anxiety made them groypers. I think the groypers are right wing and not simply victims of the economy.

I think it’s more that politics offered Gen Z absolutely fucking nothing so most of them switched off, and the only ones who were switched on were the groypers.

Like… most of them simply went neutral. They didn’t see any outcome worth supporting in politics. The only politically engaged Gen Z were the ones who find white supremacy and patriarchy appealing so they were the ones to paint the picture.

We are so back

Fox News - Vance courting disgruntled Trump voters to form ‘new right’ alliance after Republican bloodbath, sources say

“The reason we lost is the war,” Vance’s post said. “The president himself said so last night.”

“If you’d like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that’s at least honest,” he went on.

“But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.”

Trump acknowledged earlier this year that Vance was “maybe less enthusiastic” about attacking Iran from the jump.

Vance v Rubio 2028.

Meanwhile sourdough pizza is accepted.

The faux-traditionalism about pineapple on pizza is so fucking performative. It’s just a meme that has transformed into a way to value signal.

Opposing pineapple on pizza is reactionary and there will be reeducation on the matter.

I don’t think it’s a shift in elected officials that brings change. I think it’s seeing that the price of gas caused a landslide and they’re aware of riots in France.

I don’t know. In Ukraine, yes for sure.

But Iran seems to have attained a degree of moral high ground in the public perception, and also benefits from being anti-Israel. It directly evokes memories of Iraq and Afghanistan.

And most importantly it jacks up the price of gas.

The libs are going to fold.

Iran’s parliament speaker says US voters rejected war, Tehran backs this message

Qalibaf warns Washington against betraying the public will.

Tabatabaei attributed the Republican Party’s defeat to US support for Israeli actions in Gaza, its alignment with Israel’s interests and the war against Iran.

Ok so goodbye to land taxes, right?

That’s just anti-himbo cope.

His head isn’t small. His shoulders are yuge.

They did it. They finally fucking did it.

But still only a majority of 1, maybe 2, in the senate so they’ll still lose every important vote there 48:52

WOKE 3.0 prepare the lulags

I was like “this is fucking dumb” then “oh, obviously the M1 Garand” and frankly the last three options are all good I support this

Latest update!

Dems - 0 seats called

GOP - 0 seats called

435 seats remain to be called!

Next update in a week or maybe before December I don’t gaf

The real outcome of today is DEMOCRACY

It isn’t really important who you vote for. The most important thing is that you vote.

But don’t vote third party because the system is designed so that structurally only two parties can dominate so voting 3rd party means your vote is wasted.

Also those two parties… ok so both of them are going to fund Israel and both of them are going to blockade Cuba. But only one of them is going to state they’ll bomb the ICC. The other one won’t repeal the “bomb the ICC” law but they won’t say they’ll bomb the ICC so you know maybe they won’t bomb the ICC.

One of the parties has Muslim candidates. About two or three of them that matter. Out of hundreds. Which is better than the party that had zero. You have to admit this. It’s at least 0.5% better.

Fucking vote.

AI has made it much faster to make a shitty landing page (now it only takes 2 hours when it used to take maybe 6)

Yeah like what even is their point?

Capitalism is faster at lifting people out of poverty than socialism?

The policy that actually worked in India was fucking wealth redistribution.

What do people make of this claim?

It’s a good thing to lift people out of poverty but India has not eliminated poverty whereas China has.

The “took four decades to do it” is pretty dumb. India did it via direct wealth transfers, which is good more of that yes, but who exactly was communist China going to wealth transfer from?

China did it by the second most impressive feat of self-industrialization in human history, second only to the Soviet Union. India did it by finally distributing wealth just a little bit.

It certainly hasn’t industrialized to anywhere near the extent that China has so its ability to lift people to middle income status will remain structurally lower.

It’s also an apples to oranges comparison. India reduced extreme poverty, which is great. China not only reduced extreme poverty, it actually eliminated it, and didn’t just raise them above that minimal bar it actually brought them into a middle class level of income especially when considering PPP.

And “took four decades”? Meaning dating from the revolution? And we’re not dating from Indian independence?

I think it would make more sense to date from the 80s or the alignment with the US in the 70s at the earliest to date when the real industrialization drive got underway so that would say China did it in about 20 years.

Good for India. This is a good thing. But their GDP per capita is about 20% that of China.

So no, they absolutely have not achieved “in little more than a decade” what China did in four decades.
