Varoufakis has not once been wrong. The most underrated economist (among the establishment of course, he's very popular among researchers and students) has been saying this since before the election. The only way to undermine Trump's plan is for the other countries to set aside their differences and act in unison. This is why the Chinese / Eastern prejudice in Europe is so stupid. You have China who wants to be your equal partner despite their clear leverage, and European leaders still want to be USA's pets.

What's hilarious especially in the crypto space is how people call themselves "punk" and then stay quiet about establishment's attacks on possibly top 5 most praised modern punk band for opposing a genocide.

This is the reaganomics moment. The hope that "things will improve" earlier generations felt was lost in 21st century because of the policies Reagan set. Almost all 21st century crises can be traced back to him. Now Trump has set USA on an even darker path that none of these geriatric politicians will even see. USA finally completely folding in 2030s/40s will be traced back to this moment.

It's hard to overstate the level of corruption, cruelty, scam packed into a single bill; and it's hard to overstate how American politicians embraced the brazen corruption in front of their own voters. They don't feel accountable anymore, because money in politics ensured that people's voices matter less than donations. People & even researchers find this controversial, but if you start from democracy's first principles, US wouldn't even be considered in the top 50 when it comes to democracy.

The effects of the law that passed in US Congress today will be felt across the globe even after 2-3 decades.

Once you normalize it somewhere, you normalize it everywhere. This is why leftists were so angry with the libs. Narrative is everything.

After some back & forth, o3 and I analyzed USA's fall into authoritarianism and identified the patterns with closest matches in recent history. 4 countries came at the top. 1) Hungary & Orban was the closest match. 2-3) Russia & Putin + Turkey & Erdogan 4) Brazil & Bolsonaro (he failed) It's a pretty cool doc IMHO, it even takes "it can't happen in the US" assumption into account.

Still true. Even though he's right about the big scam bill (his reasons are only partially right)

Gotta love the chronically online new age degen capitalist who thinks Marxism is decelerationism. 10% information is sometimes worse than no information.

The reality is the only way out for Iran is to match Israel's and USA's terrorism because otherwise every 6 months, these two violent states are going to terrorize Iranian people in increasingly unlawful ways, and every time Iran pretends to retaliate with empty US bases, it'll weaken Iran. Imagine how neocons & Zionists would react if Iran completed "pre-emptive" attacks on Israeli scientists, bombed a US embassy with people in it, bombed Israeli nuclear reactors endangering millions. We'd experience unseen levels of hypocrisy. Iran will never do this because: A) They're aware of the symmetry in information war. B) They're a fundamentally peaceful culture, despite all the attempts at antagonizing them (history is the proof of this).

If you're actually into most recent AI researches, the best content is on Bluesky and Reddit. Yes, I've said it. Twitter and LinkedIn are full of influencer slop. "I vibecoded this app in 2 hours that was done by another influencer 2 weeks ago". No one knows shit about the 1-week-old paper on arXiv that'll change the way people will vibecode in 6 months. Meanwhile good researchers feel embarrassed to be on Twitter or LinkedIn, but they're totally open in Bluesky. And Reddit has the best open-source anon researchers.

"pre-emptive attack of self-defense." Please, if you'll try to manufacture consent, try to show a small ounce of intellect.

Will USA only continue to fund extremist terrorist organizations like Israel, or will it restart committing its own terrorist activities after taking a break in the past few years? We'll get an answer to this question in the coming few days.

Your daily reminder that language matters. By using the exact definitions American administrations use, the following sentence would apply most accurately to the USA: Undemocratic theocratic countries like USA fund extremist terrorist organizations like Israel which not only threaten but commit genocides and destabilize entire regions.

Another thing Western journalists and politicians don't know well about Iran is the internal Iranian politics. After Ahmedinejad, Iranian people had elected Rouhani, a progressive leader within Iranian politics. He was significantly improving Iran's image abroad, showing realities that the Westerns were lied about. This is when Obama & Rouhani had aligned and signed a fair nuclear deal with dozens of international observers. Iran abided by the deal. But then Trump tore up the deal, despite Iran's compliance and international observers' confirmation of compliance. Trump launched a crippling sanction on Iran. Iranian people suffered and progressives in Iran lost popularity. Moderate conservatives (in Iranian spectrum) regained power and Iran's image abroad went back to whatever NYT or The Atlantic told people. Trump was the one who destroyed the progressive movement in Iran, and he's now on the path to destroy the entire nation.

This is so stupid lmao. How do you equalize a genocidal apartheid 19th century colony called Israel, which continously wants to expand, with the religious government that doesn't EVER want to change its borders. Iran has stupid conservative rules, but it's within themselves. It's their choice. They never attacked anyone before being hit first.
