Progress is a result of accept the lessons of reality and adapting for better outcomes. The left AND right both have significant portions that deny reality and hence are defacto anti-progress.

Complicated? No. Childishly simplistic.
I will always support the side that 200 years of data shows has the best record of keeping more people fed, housed, educated, and treated with dignity. Every "side" wants those results. One has obviously superior outcomes. #capitalism
As always, zealots don't care about outcomes. Poverty isn't a concern. Rather than lift the many living in economic deprivation, they want to tear down the tiny number that are ultra wealthy.

Thank you Philly!
It's time these deranged misanthropes were met with numbers everywhere.

To the voluntarily retarded...
A 7th century death cult dependent on handouts attacking a modern, prosperous, technologically advanced democracy with a formidable military? Of COURSE there is no equivalency. Start using your brain instead of parroting the worst ppl in the world.

Think ffs. If you outsource thought, those that do it for you will be unlikely to have your interests at heart. Don't be an insult to evolution.
On the ridiculous claims that there is some principle of reciprocity and/or symmetry in war...
NO
If obviously superior military power does not deter an enemy from attacking, then that superior power will be used to eliminate or subdue the threat.

"The whole point of this soulless minimalism is to make the transition between places feel effortless, to optimize for global movement, and the result is the smoothing away of rooted cultures, traditions and visual particularities."
It's a business. The point is profit. If you don't like the color palette fly another airline. How in the fuck do people manage to get this emotional about NOTHING?
This is the final aesthetic form of the managerial internationalist order and it is sad that Singapore Airlines has finally succumbed to it. It is truly grotesque.
Welcome to millennial grey or as I prefer to call it, the globohomo aesthetic. It signals the triumph of the neutral, the scalable, and what Marc Augé called "the non-place."
These are spaces designed to erase the friction of being somewhere specific and it has now found its full expression in the airline's newly unveiled cabin interiors.
The whole point of this soulless minimalism is to make the transition between places feel effortless, to optimize for global movement, and the result is the smoothing away of rooted cultures, traditions and visual particularities.
You also see this design now in airports, hotels, new apartment builds and AirBnBs. They employ the same materials, the same restrained color palette, the same soft-touch surfaces, and the same implication of competence. You are everywhere but nowhere at once.
The passenger is not meant to feel the particular hospitality or visual culture of Singapore. Who was this designed for? The bean counter? The management consultant? The flagship cabin has become merely a container for productivity and rest rather than an experience with its own local character and heritage.
This is tragic beyond belief because Singapore Airlines still flies the most distinctive cabin crew uniform in commercial aviation: the sarong kebaya designed by Pierre Balmain, unchanged since 1968, its batik detailing a living fragment of Peranakan culture tied to a specific place and history.
Every other airline has updated or abandoned its uniforms for mass production or modern fashion cycles. Singapore Airlines refrained.
Yet for whatever schizo reason, they've decided to yeet their identity everywhere else that matters. The airline that once treated its visual identity as a point of pride has chosen the path of least resistance. The earthy tones are gone. The leather, the wood trim and the art - all gone. Just safe cool grey interiors that are dreary, corporate and characterless.
You legit can't tell if you're in a Silicon Valley headquarters or a German automaker's concept vehicle or in the waiting room of a medical clinic.
Welcome to the internationally interchangeable visual language, which I suppose is par for the course for what Singapore has become - competent, sure, but risk averse, and increasingly unsure of who it is or worse. It's just a well-run node in the global network.

“Prior to capitalism, the way people amassed great wealth was by looting, plundering and enslaving their fellow man. Capitalism made it possible to become wealthy by serving your fellow man.” -Walter E. Williams
When a Canadian politician says something "has no place in Canada", you can rest assured it has a place, it is well entrenched and defended, and the government both funds it and supports it politically. Just like "diversity is our strength", a mantra that is 180⁰ from reality.

Hard to imagine that hand being bigger. It's already like Jerry's date.

I am very confident that Democrats have not learned this lesson. And with the DSA lurking in their midst, the risk that they’ll be pulled down by radicals is VERY high. Look at Maine and Michigan. Collins was defeated by a DSA-endorsed opponent. AES significantly under-performed relative to peers in tougher states for Democrats. This honeymoon is not going to last if party leaders don’t control their growing fringe. And I see zero indication that they plan to. Neither Republicans nor Democrats really seem to understand the assignment. They keep assuming they have “mandates” when what people are saying is that we don’t like the status quo, and we don’t like extremism.

One of the more interesting things to watch now will be if prominent Republicans stop pretending: pretending there is strategy to the war in Iran, that tariffs make economic sense, pretending America’s allies are its enemies and vice versa.
Smart but cowardly men have been pretending to be imbeciles for a decade. It will be fascinating to see if that starts to end now
Exactly. It's not that USA can't get things done. It's that incompetent (and in Trump's case stupid and corrupt) leadership prevents it.
Trump didn't lose because he started the Iran War.
He lost because he didn't commit to winning the war, and instead parked it in a confusing stalemate.
• 40 days of fighting
• 210 days of nonsense
Even out of those 40 days, only 25 days saw serious heavy fighting, and yet, they were extremely successful.
The islamic regime was on the edge of collapse, its leaders assassinated left and right, and the IRGC were literally hiding in tunnels and sleeping in tents. It was the time to push for surrender, not pull back.
Going for a ceasefire rather than the killshot back in April was a MASSIVE mistake.

Trump has spent a decade purging conservatism—constitutional, economic, and even social (in the deepest sense of humility and respect for others)—from the Republican Party.
We should take solace in this absolute defeat because it’s a real chance to rebuild American conservatism.

“Green colonialists” spend all sorts of time accusing agricultural professionals of “greenwashing”
They claim to be supporting the needs of local workers & indigenous people.
Here’s the reality 👇🏽

This doesn’t just apply to Western Europe, this applies everywhere.
We can see this happening in Canada right now, and until the voters understand the tough choices we are facing our country will continue to decline.
It’s time to wake up and stop being Woke.
Things in Western Europe will improve when a few hard realities are understood:
1. Europe has no God-given right to be wealthy or stable. Things can & will decline and fall apart if not maintained and adapted to new realities. Things that worked in the 1970s may be counterproductive now.
2. Energy is the basis of the economy. Without it, nothing else matters. While efficiency will be important, any economy where energy is scarce will inevitably be one that struggles
3. Not all cultures are equal. Some create prosperity, some lead to misery, some are outright evil. If Europe doesn't accept this, the cultural basis of its previous success & prosperity will be destroyed forever
4. Have kids, or die out. In the long term, few things matter this much. You can't create a European future if there are no Europeans left for it, and as the experiences of the last few decades show, non-European immigration simply makes Europe culturally less European - and doesn't magically make these people culturally European.
5. The state can not - and should not - save every individual from him/herself from him/her bad choices or ineptitudes. The idea of a nanny state which can ensure that everyone always live comfortably with minimal effort & contributions 100% of time is not feasible. The socialist promises of 30 years of wealthy retirements for everyone and Europe being able to take on endless low skill immigration were lies.
6. If a society has no way for ambitious & creative people to get rich from working hard, everyone will get poorer because of it. The hard truth is that much of our economic future depends on businesses being built & transformed by ambitious & sometimes ruthless individuals. Not everyone is able or willing to do this, and without them, there is no one to employ others and no wealth & growth to tax. But if businesses & wealth are seen solely as an evil force to be taxed into oblivion, they will go elsewhere.
7. In some cases, the best way for society to deal with a criminal is to lock them up and throw away the key. A small percentage of humans are ticking time bombs - low IQs, high aggression potential, psychopathic traits, socialised into criminal structures or a culture of lawlessness. Society can't fix them. They go in and out of court rooms and across Europe states, NGOs & social workers waste billions of hours & Euros to try & fix the unfixable. Not least because of mass immigration from dysfunctional societies, our legal systems & high trust societies built on principles such as the benefit of the doubt & correction via socialisation are overwhelmed by the amount of aggressive young men with no interest to contribute to society.
All of this is fixable. But the first step is accepting reality.
