This is straight up the same rhetoric white “feminists” had about black women during the early 20th century, transforming adjectives into exclusionary essentialist dogma

The point is not to win national elections outright, but to solidify a base and create a nation-spanning organization capable of challenging the two parties first in local, state and then finally national elections

That requires electoral sacrifices in the meantime, sacrifices that at this point in time should be easy to make considering dems aren’t winning elections anyway

Good, it’s blatantly clear the US “left” has to be forced to go third party, cause they sure as shit aren’t taking that critical responsibility on themselves

Maybe some hard CIA medicine will wake the berniecrats up, tho I doubt it considering a genocide couldn’t do the trick

Hot couch guy engineering is a severely underfunded branch of science

The bloodlust of the west is genuinely incredible; as if munition supplies from the United States, Germany and the UK are somehow not sufficient to wreck the lives of countless Palestinians

No, EVERYONE has to pitch in for the slaughter, otherwise what happens? The ADL makes a snide comment on social media or some dipshit zionist deputy minister rants about how the Spanish are “moorish dogs”

The fuckin mindless insanity of fascism

I think using magnesium as the delivery mechanism for the released hydrogen gas is supposed to be the breakthrough for this weapon, “micron-scale particles” implies magnesium hydride can be turned into nanofuel through shockwaves alone, which explains the high yield

The chain reaction begins when detonation shock waves fracture magnesium hydride into micron-scale particles, exposing fresh surfaces, according to the study.

Thermal decomposition rapidly releases hydrogen gas, which mixes with ambient air. Upon reaching the lower explosive limit, the mixture ignites, triggering exothermic combustion.

So it’s literally THIS but in bomb form

Historically, the revolutionary class of the United States was the Black working class and it’s existence unlike Israel provides the US with an exit ramp in the event of collapse, the unique history of US slavery ironically created the foundation for genuine revolutionary development as opposed to the “settler leftism” that defines settler atrocities like Israel and French Algeria

The historical and inevitable trajectory of Israel and the United States is collapse and blood, like all forms of fascism, settler colonialism contains within it the same self-defeating, self-destructive and warmongering mania that emerged in Nazism, Japanese militarism and Italian fascism

Overreach and overextension are as inevitable as sun rise and sunset; socialism is not possible in Israel proper, but it is possible in the United States, just not under current conditions, at least not yet

ISS personnel return to earth after 3 years at space to discover that tribe in Africa that worships Americans

Who, what, when, where???

Polls for the last two years consistently show POC Gen Zers and Alphas are slightly more progressive than their millennial counterparts

While white Gen Zers and Alphas are slightly more conservative than their millennial counterparts

Yeah I’ve noticed this too, the universal acceptance for the most asinine form of self-censorship is utterly baffling considering the pseudo-libertarian meta of internet youth culture since the internet went public thirty years ago

Thankfully the Ukrainians got in their own way before the Russians were forced to officially reject the Kellogg “peace plan”

Now it’s likely Trump will blame the Ukrainians instead of the Russians for ruining his “negotiations”

Liberatory violence typically effects our brains differently than the witnessing of other forms of violence

There’s a concrete purpose, the righting of an understood wrong, the disappearance of helplessness and the actualization of justice

lmao I couldn’t find the divider sign on my phone so I went with the next best

That’s an alien in a skin suit

That’s true, but even if it’s xeno algae farting, the fact it’s a measly 124 light years away basically confirms the Universe is teeming with life

Which gives us an incredibly high numerical value for the f1 factor of the Drake Equation, which then gives us a foundation for the next factor which deals with intelligence emerging

The distance is the most interesting potential aspect of this discovery

Hot take: There’s no such thing as the Fermi Paradox, the day I learned anything about radio emissions is the day that theory became bunk to me, the radio bubble surrounding earth is only 75-light-years wide, and the furthest signals are weak and undetectable even with sensitive equipment

The theory rests on the assumption that radio is a universal technology and not a short-lived transitional technology, most of this planet already communicates primarily thru microwaves and fiber optics, even if radio is a common “transitional” technology the magnitudes of time implied in trying to find it at the right time in space makes detection nearly impossible

At a certain distance we can’t distinguish between natural and artificial radio signals, the debates over the WOW! Signal and BLC1 show even if you detect “something” it doesn’t mean much to the wider scientific community

We JUST started looking for techno-signatures in an organized fashion during the last four years, and even that method suffers from similar problems to the radio method (debate over Taby’s Star for instance)

We’re a blind, deaf person in the middle of the woods who occasionally whispers Marco Polo every ten years and then wonders where everyone is

About time spits

If I meet any of you irl, it’s Highlander rules straight up

Personally for me, if verified with a capital V beyond a shadow of a doubt, it would obliterate the doomer tendencies I suffer from, for me it would be a rock solid foundation for general optimism and faith in the long term viability of life

Until then I will file this news under ‘scientific curiosity’
