I know, but maybe it's related to:

If you haven't "accepted" the new prices, maybe you get this half-assed Premium.

Dehumanization works because many of the popular cultures around the world treat non-humans terribly. As we're talking about the "cradle" of Western civilization, we're talking about pastoralists especially.

In case anyone forgot from autumn 2023:

On Saturday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israelis were united in their fight against Hamas, whom he described as an enemy of incomparable cruelty. “They are committed to completely eliminating this evil from the world,” Netanyahu said in Hebrew. He then added: “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember.”

As others quickly pointed out, God commands King Saul in the first Book of Samuel to kill every person in Amalek, a rival nation to ancient Israel. “This is what the Lord Almighty says,” the prophet Samuel tells Saul. “‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”

To be fair, the existence of animal breeders is not fine.

Extracting rent can be seen as private taxation. He's not a "career politician", so I'm trying to understand how he'd see it from the private realm.

An entry fee, a toll, a tax, a rent - whatever. In the end, the cost will be added to the products going in. It's not a usual tariff, but the outcome is the same. Maybe he thinks that this trickery helps avoid problems with "free trade" conventions.

A couple more relevant ones from the article:

 

Emerging from the Americas and now appearing in Europe, the Philippines, Nigeria and South Africa, today’s narco-evangelists share an increasingly popular strand of Christianity: Pentecostalism. It’s the fastest-growing religion in the world, already with around 650 million followers. A branch of evangelical Protestantism, in recent decades Pentecostalism has become the faith of the world’s poor. In large part, this is because of its particular focus on the Holy Spirit’s role in health and wealth, but there is also the significant lure of the faith’s deep authenticity, rooted in local cultures. Much of this is due to the fact that there is little in the way of authority structures and pastoral oversight. Not only is there no Pentecostal pope, but all you really need to be a preacher is followers.

It's a simple 3 panel web comic. There are 2 characters which are also simple. As the artist name suggests... a circle with nose, ears, eyes, mouth, and some tiny legs.

Character 1 says: "Vaccines are the deadliest poison!"

Character 2 says: "Didn't you say that, by September, everyone who got the vax will be dead?"

Character 1: "Yes, AND?"

Character 2: "I've waited for my death for three Septembers."

Character 1: has an angry, upset and silent expression.

 

Climate change is real. We all know that. But, Jordan Peterson does not. Today, let's go through the science and see if we can convince him.

Hello! My lab is running a compensated research study and crowdsourcing participants.

The purpose of this research is to investigate recently produced cars that may share personally identifying information. These “connected cars” are recently produced cars that include always-on internet connections, collect and transmit data about the vehicle and the driver, and incorporate companion smartphone apps.

If you decide to take part in this study, we will ask you to request your personal information from your vehicle manufacturer, wait for the manufacturer to provide you with your information, review the data to confirm that you are comfortable sharing the data with the research team, and then share the provided data from the vehicle manufacturer with the research team.
