Crazy how good the Mick was— bum knees and all

apropos to Baconi's recent op-ed at the NYT. This long thread by Seth Frantzman on Hamas, October 7, support abroad in the west, and its attack on the 2ss

Common question from reasonable Pro-🇵🇸 folks:

Obviously what Hamas did is horrible! Obviously they're an obstacle to peace & justice.
But why must I say so?

Answer:

B/c prominent allies of yours (👇) cheer Hamas on

Navalny had his prisoner of conscience status removed by Amnesty for “discriminatory statements”, a move which they admit increased his persecution by the Russian state, but they’ll eulogise a man who gouged out the eyes & cut off the genitals of an off duty teenage soldier.

Wow does this story capture the inanity of the “as a Jew” A-Z left

1. Submit A-Z art to J museum, gearing up to cry censorship once it’s rejected

2. Art is accepted, so you seamlessly pivot to refusing to exhibit & crying censorship anyway

שני מאורות ברקיע השמים להאיר על הארץ

הגדול ראוי לממשלת היום והקטון לממשלת הלילה

אבל איזה גדול ואיזה קטן?

הם כנראה אותו גודל!

וזה ה״קטןו״ שכנראה מושל!

Excellent take & I’m a huge Caro fan

I’ve never thought of the PB as valuable b/c RM was influential, so much as for what it teaches us about how (unelected) power works

It’s purity politics all the way down: x.com/ewzucker/statu…

Can't get over Trump's stupidity in not grasping that the stock market is a far worse arena for him than the political arena

Much of our politics are performative

Little of that in markets

Bc nobody likes to lose $$

& they sure don't like schmucks who lose their $$

SAD!!!!

If only it really were “the economy, stupid”
