"Reports of Syrian soldiers being hunted down and killed in Damascus.

HTS militants entering neighborhoods and going house to house confiscating IDs.

When ISIS entered Mosul with help from Turkiye and Masoud Barzani's KDP in 2014, they told all the members of the police and army they had nothing to fear if they 'repent' and turn themselves in.

Over the next weeks, they carried out several large massacres against the soldiers and police, who were all Sunni Arabs.

Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, who was the Emor of the Islamic State of Iraq in Mosul in 2008 and dispatched to Syria in 2011 by ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is now ruling Damascus."

"Richard Feynman wasn’t the first to suggest negative probabilities. That recognition goes to Paul Dirac, who introduced them and negative energies at the same time—because he thought these things explained curious behavior in quantum mechanics, Dirac not knowing of substance (blog/Substack), and because these strange concepts got some equations to work out the way Dirac wanted them to work out."

"Totalitarianism is primarily achieved by controlling information. The result is controlled perception, which leads to control over culture, thus politics, and thus the organization of human beings. This resulting totalitarianism is what we refer to as 'the Matrix' in this postmodern era."

"Mainstream publishing, once the gatekeeper of culture and ideas, is teetering under the weight of its own inefficiencies, ideological rigidities, and disconnect from audience demand. As it falters, a new breed of independent based creators — unburdened by institutional constraints and in tune with their audiences — stands ready to shape the future of culture through a broad-based and decentralized funding and distribution ecosystem."

He's not wrong.

"This is not to say that it’s a bad book. In fact, the novel is a genuine page-turner, complete with a feisty and resourceful heroine, memorably sinister baddies, a swoon-worthy love interest, plot twists galore, and a thrilling cliffhanger conclusion. Though it carries the supposed gravitas of an “important” work, The Handmaid’s Tale in fact presents the sort of entertainingly prurient fare that seems designed to appeal to a certain type of reader. It is, essentially, a kinky romance novel gussied up as an edgy and radical political thriller."

"The demographic crisis is often used to justify population substitution and replacement migration, based on the misleading argument that such policies will help fund pensions. In reality, non-European immigration, particularly from North Africa and Arab countries, has been shown to increase the need for skilled labor rather than alleviating it, while also placing significant burdens on healthcare and education systems. Numerous studies have confirmed this, showing that this type of migration generates more costs than benefits. Remigration, particularly of illegal migrants and those who present economic or cultural disadvantages, would significantly ease these burdens. While labor shortages in areas like caregiving exist, the long-term solution lies in promoting domestic labor forces and family policies, as demonstrated by countries like Japan and South Korea, even though transitional measures may still be necessary in the short term."
