you know all the jokes about how liberals just want drones with rainbow flags or whatever?

She made a name for herself writing about how "actually, drone strikes aren't that bad and in fact are making Pakistan more safe and Pakistanis would like them if they had more Education" and probably worked for the CIA.

although I guess she got Richard Spencer kicked out of a gym so she's not all bad.

sometimes it seems like all of history just ends up being about a contest of strength. It's easy for posters like me to complain about human rights abuses and democracy and stuff but I kinda get where tankies are coming from. Your enemies will have no mercy so why should you?

So basically, should I just shed all of my ideology and get super into Indian nationalism, or Pakistani nationalism, or I guess Chinese nationalism?I'm open minded if anyone has better ideas.

I feel like we’re living in 1910 or something, where all these horrible festering nationalist grievances and power plays mixed with weapons we don’t want to understand and awful alliances are going to lead to an insanely pointless and futile war that will solve nothing. anyway happy thanksgiving

get that OUT of my face posted:

the New Yorker did a good profile of the rise of Modi alongside the life of a Mumbai-born Muslim journalist.

the article title doesn't leave much room for nuance: this is fascism and it's coming fast

i went back and read this the other day. it's loving chilling. This line stayed with me:

quote:

India is becoming the country it has always wanted to be.

I think that this is going to be the dominant story for the next century, every country embracing their id.
