A kind of rigor of thought and action can be derived from creating the paradox of wanting complete transformation of all social institutions but not only without revolution but without anyone...

We are always on a scene, but any scene is at the intersection of any number of other scenes, and we can describe this fairly precisely and embed it consequentially in idioms. The problems of time...

When you're waiting for that massive ocean liner to turn around and head in the direction you've been looking at for a long time sometimes you just need to be patient and wait until enough middle...

The SPLC trial will be interesting. It seems the charges involve fraud and money laundering, so who was defrauded and what illegal enterprises generated the laudnered money? The line between...

Loomer is asking questions. Is she *just* asking questions? I'm not sure.

Style is a fundamentally mimetic concept. At the origin of any style is the performance of a role. Roles are ultimately ritual performances: certain gestures and utterances are commanded by the...

Assuming Trump is seen as having had a successful presidency towards the end of his term, his most likely successor will be whoever can most convincingly defend and promise to continue what he has...

Tucker Carlson's (First World) fans have been peeling away, one by one, but let's go back to the beginning, to the mindset that led us here. It would go something like this: "So, he's taunting the...

For Trump, Iran may be unfinished business from the 80s, maybe even from the Embassy takeover. Why shouldn't Trump hold a much more valid and widely shared grudge as tenaciously as those who complain...

I think the language of computation will replace the languages of interiority based on print culture used to describe human feeling and thinking--so, I expect "latent space" to replace "unconscious"...

If the next president is a Republican and he wants to turn on Israel he would also have to repudiate Trump rather forcefully--but it will be tough to repudiate Trump on this single point alone and...

I have been using “perfecting the imperative” as an idiom for technology for a while now and have started to pursue it further in some recent posts, in part by refining it through the concept of...

Jews should unburden themselves of both the faith in a general agreement of what “antisemitism” is and that it is bad along with the broader anti-discrimination framework within which that faith is...

Making conciliatory gestures to groypers and Tucker Carlson fans gets you a campaign against your Jewish chief of staff. You invite them to up the ante and demand signs of fealty. Anyone who doesn't...

The solution to the right wing zoomers going Nazi problem is to create millions of positions in and around law enforcement and defense (*not* think tanks and the GOP) which provide experience,...

All those who suddenly reversed their long-held positions on Israel, Zionism, and Jews post October 7 should be viewed as essentially pod people.

Forget about dissociating from Tucker Carlson; if podcastan could have stated explicitly that Candace Owens was persona non grata in any movement they were part of because of her bizarre blood libels...

I think both Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro are Reaganites, which means they haven't internalized the Trump shift toward redesigning sovereignty, but the calculated attacks on them by the Duginite (?)...

The question of speech or, to evoke post-structuralism, the sayable, is now to be pursued more thoroughly on the terrain of the expectant scene, credit and originary grammar. Obviously free speech...

Tucker Carlson has been very deliberately backing his supporters into a corner with him and now we will see who is willing to box themselves in all the way. He has made it virtually impossible to...

One neocon innovation (which was borrowed and enhanced from "anti-totalitarianism") which almost everyone has adopted is a scrupulous distinction between regimes and peoples. No Brit would have said...

The anti-Israel firsters have a carefully constructed op predicated on accusing their opponents of being ops. Every new organization should have the word "op" in it, to signal awareness that all is...

Sundance's (of the Conservative Treehouse) statement (I can't find it and am going by memory) that "Trump is our murder weapon" (with the "victim" being the Republican party) may turn out to be true....

It's reasonable to assume that a candidate who relies on the votes of Carlson slander enjoyers will refrain, in office, from protecting those victimized by others those slander enjoyers enjoy. That...

Maybe on some level those pounding the Vance inevitability drum have been aware of what a weak candidate he might turn out to be if challenged, both in the primaries and the general, so that his only...

Part of the reason for the momentum the anti-Israel firsters picked up is that they radicalized the method of always claiming your opponent is an "op" while simultaneously being completely aware of...

Very interestng and for me encourgaing (despite my own reservations about Rubio) but I don't know why the headline attributes the change to the Iran war. https://t.co/wZrAEWeYrb

There will be sustained resistance to the "Halal Right" (I'll try that one on)--I can see that for sure now. And not only from pro-Israel forces or those disgusted by the antisemitism but from those...

Republicans who oppose Vance for the 2028 nomination will have to do more than try to shift support to a preferable candidate, like Rubio. They would have to make the campaign one focused on the...

A sober inquiry and discussion into the relation between the US and Israel cannot be held in public--there is neither the means nor the will, on the part of those who would like to loosen the...

It's not possible that JD Vance doesn't understand that a close association with someone who spreads false rumors inciting violence against American citizens would ordinarily disqualify a...

I just came across a post pointing out that anti-Maimonides Jews asked the Inquisition to help censor his work, resulting in the Talmud getting burned; and now I see this petition requesting that...

Anti-Boomerism is the Zoomerist version of "never trust anyone over 30." The first time as farce, the second time... also as farce.

Something very strange is going on with Tucker Carlson. If he's spreading lies (maybe not even knowing they are lies?) fed him by actors within the Gulf states to undermine the US and Israel war on...

Cernovich likes to reduce all government actions to exchanges between actors he imagines--now, it's the Iran war, presumably for Jews, in exchange for progress on the domestic front, presumably for...

The extremely close collaboration between the US and Israel now will tighten the correlations between pro-war and pro-Jew and anti-war and anti-Jew. If you're anti-Jew, you're already more likely to...

I have worked with the notion of “idiom” rather than “theory” or “knowledge” because I want to defer the possibility of any metalanguage that is not convertible into the language it describes along...

There are definitely ways of steering between the Scylla of antisemitism and the Charybdis of philosemitism but it takes ingenuity, discipline and fixed goals. It's out there, but it's like spotting...

With the realization of some eminently sane "dissident right" figures that the anti-war hysteria is an over-reaction to the Iraq War, might there also be a reassessment of that war? If so, one might...

Time for American Jews to take stock of resources, power, and possible friends. Other than far-leftist freaks there is no future in the Democrat Party, and the GOP is now clearly signaling they want...

There will be a battle for the GOP in 2028 and one axis will be those who wish to disenfranchise Jews and those who see Jews as part of the US. Be ready to frame it in these terms.

This probably won't come up in the SOTU, but this stuff is getting more and more interesting: https://t.co/mAyvCYeow3

It's seems that the people being slandered by various iterations of groyperdom are starting to realize their own recourse will be in the courts. It would be very helpful if donors stopped giving...

It would be best to assume that the GOP after Trump will be like TPUSA after Kirk and collapse into a melee of hostile factions, and for the same reason--the attempt to hold incompatible interests in...

The whole “are they the same Jews” argument is less aimed at Israel’s “right to exist” and more at the Evangelical reason for supporting Israel. In a sense this isn’t even the business of Jews.

This question of whether today's Jews are the same as ancient Jews or demonstrably descended from Abraham is an especially weird vector of attack designed, I assume, to hit specific points in certain...

If Vance and even Trump can't reject Tucker Carlson not only for the lying scumbag that he is but for the obvious way in which he is subverting their administration, at this point I have to wonder...

I was detained at work today as I waited 1 second for the security guard to see my parking sticker and wave me into the lot.

Michael Tracey's attempts a while back to fact check narratives of WW2 were pointless and pedantic but he's certainly the big winner in the "Epstein files" fiasco. People looking for a boomlet in...
