“No, you don’t get it—as a multi-millionaire raised in suburban New Jersey who now lives in a mansion in LA, I know the Ayatollah is actually an incredible anti-imperialist socialist revolutionary. Your opinion as a middle-class Iranian who grew up there is irrelevant, peon”

The debate between Douglas Murray and Dave Smith reveals one thing above all—that those with expertise, familiarity, proximity, and understanding of complex historical context on an issue (whether or not you agree with their views) have been replaced with those who have none of

Let me be clear: any deal with the Mullah’s regime in Iran—nuclear or otherwise—is a betrayal to the Iranian people, the Middle East, the world, and humanity. No “diplomacy” is acceptable - only isolation, targeted sanctions, & maximum support for grassroots Iranian uprisings.

The idea that we can only have war or peace with the regime in Iran is a false dilemma, both extremes ending only in catastrophe. War means direst catastrophe for the Iranian people; diplomacy means indirect castarophe for the Iranian people and the Middle East, by funneling

If Trump renames the Persian gulf, it will not just be a mistake, it’ll be unforgivable revisionism that echoes millennia of erasure, cultural degeneration, and betrayal. "Two hundred years of silence" or two centuries of silence refers to the first 200 years after Iran was

When people respond to the murder of two American Israelis with "free Palestine," they aren't willing an end to suffering, they're fantasicizing about a Jewish genocide. The reason they have to hide this bloodlust behind righteous language is to avoid confronting the truth -

Because that’s not what happened at all, meat head. The Bolsheviks were Russian atheists, regardless whether they were born Jewish, Orthodox, or whatever else. They despised religion and manufactured a revolution that killed millions, not because the victims were explicitly

Sometimes humans have trouble understanding that society doesn't collapse at the inception of a moral virus, but at the height of infestation. The Nazis came to power in 1933, but the Holocaust didn't begin until 1941. So what was happening in those eight years in between? This.

This is exactly the problem, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - that you're spending more time being horrified by predictable outcomes instead of connecting the dots. When the entire narrative of anti-Zionism becomes “criticism of Israel, which is not antisemitic,” but is invariably followed by near-daily

I’ve been fighting this fight for three years now, but lately, I honestly don’t even know what to say anymore. I’ve been courageous through moments of mass moral collapse. I’ve spoken with surgical clarity in the face of inversion and distortion. Every risk I took, everything I
