BRICS as a whole, if they trade with Cuba, must have decided to call the US’s bluff because the US needs BRICS more than BRICS needs the US.

The US is not going to actually stop trading with BRICS, that would be utterly self destructive

Do I understand it intellectually, yes. I still held some hope. I also don’t like presuming that kind of rough deterministic forecast to things. Just because a situation kinda looks like 1918 Germany or something, doesn’t mean it will play out exactly the same way.

I think she’s more of an art historian, but that just makes it all the more devastating because she should know better

The helpful comments I left were something to the effect of:

  • I couldn’t find a non-Israeli source for “90% of Jews voted for Kamala”
  • Even if that statistic is accurate, it is coming from exit polls, and does not necessarily reflect all Jewish Americans (in particular it excludes those who stayed home)
  • She claims that we should listen to the Jews who “actually do something” and show up and vote for the lesser evil, but she is inconsistent by ignoring the many Muslims who either voted third party or didn’t vote at all — as a form of activism

Okay so I found the video I originally wanted to share. She didn’t delete it, she just blocked me after I left some helpful comments

Is it a rule that all videos must be rehosted off TikTok? Seems like a significant amount of additional friction when it seems to play perfectly fine on my desktop without logging in
