I mean, there are people telling New York Jews to move to Israel, "the only safe place for Jews in the world," quite literally days after it got its ass handed to it by Iranian missiles. Sure, in some cases it's complete derangement, but also:

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

depressing rant about personhood

Doppelgänger fiction is depressing because the angst characters have that others only like the mask and not the self is just true, and the trope where another character realizes there's an impersonator is just cope. No one expects a doppelgänger, so a convincing impersonation is not even necessary. While humans are biosocial beings, under any organization of society where embodiment is critical to its functions, "person" becomes nearly synonymous with "body". So it is not even necessarily the "role" a doppelgänger must take on convincingly. The most important "role" a person plays is just their physical presence. Actual behavior can be quite inconsistent!

Written a couple days after watching Episode 14 of Ergo Proxy via proxy, ha.

So anyway this is why we must all aspire to be more like Fai Rodis from the hit untranslated novel Bull's Hour.

It's really funny that de-escalatory strikes are real but also the only strikes that are called de-escalatory officially are always escalatory.

I wonder if Chinese skyscraper-building factories will succeed unlike Japan's which fell off after the 90s

tactical nuke

Total meme category. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were "strategic" bombings using "tactical" yields according to post-war terminology.
