Straight, white, male, aristocratic, wealthy, an epicure, deeply read on all the Classics of Western Civilization, a warrior, fiercely committed to tradition and hierarchy, and an authoritarian. A compelling vision of progressive politics for sure.

“I am a GOP governor on a diplomatic mission to India!”
“You are part of the H1B cheap labor scam alliance and a traitor. Take her away.”
How interesting that just the physical occupation of a particular space represents seizing the reins of power. Sitting on the throne, taking the palace, storming the parliament, one might think these gestures are meaningless, but the symbol is powerful. Bears further study.

“Commander Cody, have you completed your fiscal year Galactic Republic Cyber Awareness Training?”
“I have not general.”
“You should probably get on that.”
“Yes General.”

Pèp ayisyen,
Nou prèske fin deplwaye sòlda nou yo ak ekipman nou yo sou tè Ayiti. Sa a se pa yon operasyon kont pèp ayisyen an, ni yon envazyon peyi Ayiti. Nou pa yon gwo pisans. Nou pa gen okenn enterè ni pou nou vin domine pèp ayisyen an, ni pou nou mete men sou richès Ayiti.
Nou se yon peyi modès k ap devlope. Sèl sa nou vle, se pou kat teknisyen avyasyon nou yo tounen lakay yo. Epi n ap bay gang yo yon leson, gang sa yo k ap fè pèp ayisyen an soufri, ki touye moun pèp la renmen yo, k ap anpeche l viv yon lavi nòmal, lib, san laperèz.
Se prèske nou menm sèl k ap peye pou operasyon sa a. Menmsi nou resevwa yon ti èd lojistik nan men kèk lòt peyi, se ak pwòp ti kès nou n ap kouvri 90% nan depans yo.
Sa koute nou chè, men nou te aprann nan pwòp soufrans nou: jistis ak lapè pa gen pri. Nou te pase nan menm soufrans Ayiti ap travèse jodi a. Nou te viv yon beny san ki te pi terib toujou pase sa pèp ayisyen an ap sibi kounye a. Nou konnen sa sa vle di: viv nan laperèz, pa fè politisyen konfyans, pa kwè okenn moun ki pwomèt l ap ede w. Paske pèsonn pa t vin ede nou, e moun ki te vini yo pa t gen bon entansyon nan kè yo.
Men nou te rive chape anba sa. Apre 200 lane soufrans, finalman n ap viv nan lapè, e jodi a nou se peyi ki gen plis sekirite sou kontinan an.
Nou pa vin ann Ayiti pou nou touche lajan, paske pèsonn pa peye nou pou sa. Nou vin ann Ayiti pou nou goumen kont mechan yo.
Men sa m ap mande nou: fè nou konfyans, lapriyè sèl vrè Bondye a, epi mande L pou L geri Ayiti.
“Lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m lan lapriyè nan pye m, si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.”
2 Kwonik 7:14
Ede nou ede Ayiti.
Epi lè misyon nou an fini, n ap tounen lakay nou. Petèt jenerasyon Ayisyen k ap vini yo ap sonje nou kòm zanmi ki te vin ede yon lè.

Counterpoint: "International Law" is just how we explain the United States Navy to children and invalids, and the Navy ain't gonna do anything to stop him.
🇭🇹🇸🇻 À ceux qui pensent que Nayib Bukele peut intervenir militairement en Haïti à la suite de la «disparition » des quatre militaires salvadoriens, je tiens à rappeler ceci :
La volonté légitime du président salvadorien de sauver ses quatre militaires ne saurait justifier une intervention militaire unilatérale en Haïti, en violation de sa souveraineté nationale.
La lutte contre les gangs ne saurait devenir un prétexte pour contourner le droit international. Toute opération militaire doit s’inscrire dans un cadre juridique clairement établi, conformément au mandat de la Force de répression des gangs (FRG) et aux dispositions de la Charte des Nations unies.
La gravité de la situation sécuritaire en Haïti ne suspend ni le droit international ni la souveraineté du pays.

College professor left completely stumped after @KaiSchwemmer started talking in Spanish after the professor said he welcomed mass migration.
Schwemmer: Would it be an issue if every city spoke a different language?
Professor: No.
Schwemmer: "Entonces sería bastante difícil si estuviéramos hablando, entendernos, porque nosotros no podemos entender lo que estamos diciendo y no podemos alcanzar tener respeto mutuo."
Brilliant.

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.
Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.

These movies are all supposed to be subversive deconstructions of Western myth, but they're clearly semi-autobiographical, lovingly told, sympathetic, even self-pitying - the recrimination is all clearly in the first person
Which is supposed to have something to do with violence or GWOT or something but none of the writers were anywhere near any of that
I think these people just come from a wicked culture, & have all kinds of other guilt, about other kinds of deceit & cowardice & cruelty, & that's what they bring to their sincere attempts to engage with these stories

While being attached to an F-18 Hornet for deployment in an air mission above Afghanistan, a U.S. Navy bomb is defaced by an unidentified sailor with the words “HIGH JACK THIS FAGS.”
A photograph of the bomb sparks outrage from the American gay community, and the press is calling the ordinance the “fag bomb.”

Two of the most typical responses on this post are
“Muh America never wins wars”
And
“Muh but we have to keep military tradition even if it holds us back”
It’s a little poetic bc that just reenforces my point that D&C is retarded. This “military tradition” is loser shit.
You look at your favorite goyball team they don’t spend days/weeks walking around to show case their capabilities and prowess. Wars are just a game of winners and losers and who can outperform each other on every level.
