3. The true world–unattainable, indemonstrable, unpromisable; but the very thought of it–a consolation, an obligation, an imperative. (At bottom, the old sun, but seen through mist and skepticism. The idea has become elusive, pale, Nordic, Königsbergian.)

Because the US is a dystopian nightmare

Sure. But the state of Israel is a UN-creation right after WW2, with the holocaust as the explicit motivator

Sure, on a personal level, that’s true. But the country identifies its roots and legitimacy as based in and on the holocaust. It’s what its government never gets tired of repeating. Worse: ‘never again’ is actively used as the excuse for genocide.

I mean, it’s always been clear that the Holocaust was a teachable moment. However I never expected the victims to take home precisely these lessons

Not many would lament the passing of the ayatollah regime. But, interesting question, who should replace them, especially during a time of upheaval?

I’m sure there are very qualified people around, as Iran is a highly educated and cultured society. But would they be the ones to grab power? Or will we see an Iraq-like civil war? Wiping out the old regime is easy, maintaining stability a lot less.

Getting “slammed” by Bibi the Butcher means you’re on the right side of history and morality

‘AI whisperer’ should be the job title

Why repeat this garbage and give it more airtime than it deserves?

One source close to the negotiations said there was “frustration” on the UK side that Brussels had so far rejected giving Britain access to the databases.

“This is something that we would see as mutually beneficial but so far there has been no movement,” the source said

The entitlement is still strong on the far side of the Channel. First you leave and insult the EU to no end, you want out out out of everything related to it… and then you come crawling back whining about mutual beneficial cooperation.

A bit rich, I’d say
