Like let's put aside socialism, morals, basic humanity. Why the fuck does the west support Israel to the degree it does? Like it only alienates basically every other potential partner in the ME. It can't effectively serve as a barracks state because who would we need that army to fight that wouldn't only make things worse? Their economy is basically propped up by the USA. Yes they serve as a platform for weapons and systems testing, but they don't need a complete blank cheque too it. Like I don't get this logic. Cut em a check and pull bibi's leash and wash your hands of it. Like the logic of "Unconditional 110% support" is just fuckin nuts. Yeah sure a good bit of it us ideology, but there has to be some matrierial calculus in there somewhere. They are basically sacrificing the baby Ukraine over this.
Almost like he's a professional linguist or something
It really is his most underrated stat, his ability to disseminate information in a way that makes it easily digestible.
A lot of "thinkers" seem to actually believe that clarity and concision are bad.
Yeah I have a book called How the West Came to Rule which is supposed to be a comprehensive theory of the global development of capitalism from a non-western, non-eurocentric perspective. Pretty cool premise but the thing is almost completely inaccessible. I expect books on politics and economy to take a bit longer, to be read more carefully, but as a strong reader, I should still be able to read the damn thing
