Pin this somewhere.
Dehumanization works because many of the popular cultures around the world treat non-humans terribly. As we’re talking about the “cradle” of Western civilization, we’re talking about pastoralists especially.
In case anyone forgot from autumn 2023:
On Saturday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israelis were united in their fight against Hamas, whom he described as an enemy of incomparable cruelty. “They are committed to completely eliminating this evil from the world,” Netanyahu said in Hebrew. He then added: “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember.”
As others quickly pointed out, God commands King Saul in the first Book of Samuel to kill every person in Amalek, a rival nation to ancient Israel. “This is what the Lord Almighty says,” the prophet Samuel tells Saul. “‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
Extracting rent can be seen as private taxation. He’s not a “career politician”, so I’m trying to understand how he’d see it from the private realm.
An entry fee, a toll, a tax, a rent - whatever. In the end, the cost will be added to the products going in. It’s not a usual tariff, but the outcome is the same. Maybe he thinks that this trickery helps avoid problems with “free trade” conventions.
It can be both. Lying is more convincing when it’s felt as truth by the liar.
One thing that fascinates me is that Trump’s definition of tariffs seems more like the definition of kickbacks.
As he was (is?) a landlord, he may also think of it as seeking rent, like how malls get rent from the stores inside.
this looks truthy

No.
Going into ketosis is well known in science for the increase in autophagy: fat, yes, but also muscles. It’s literally a mechanism targeted for use as therapy for certain conditions.
These ketobro clowns used to mention some traditional meat eating populations like the Inuit, but they don’t usually anymore. Yeah, those are people who “did keto” for a very long time.
The Inuit literally evolved genetic adaptation to avoid ketosis while consuming a diet high in animal fats, and they still suffer the consequences.
I’m not fucking giving up, these fuckers need to be called out for their dangerous bullshit.
Welcome to the academic precariat.
The “trad wives” (traditionalist / paleoconservative middle class women who believe that their religion is good for women) are looking for a husband in the traditional sense, a type of business owner / patriarch who owns them and provides for them; see: husbandry. That’s so that they can produce a lot of offspring while pretending that raising kids in near or full homeschooling is a good thing and she’s very successful (culturally).
They’re the homologues of incels and traditionalist bros who want to be rich so that they maintain some informal harem. And they deserve each other.
Why not?
