Yep! You’ll get no argument from me that it’s overused almost as much the antisemitic tropes it’s being leveled against. People do indeed use the word for cases that don’t fit.


However, the “IDF Training dogs to anally rape Muslims” is almost a platonic example of a modern blood libel. It’s basically a perfect case.


That’s my point.

Not every accusation against the IDF is a blood libel, but this one seems bang on.


It has all the right texture; It combines religious / social taboo with maximally inflammatory claims with little to no regard for practicality or realism. It relies on Jews having almost a cosmic quality of evil to them, it’s borderline magical thinking.


For a counter example; the accusation of the IDF blowing up that school in Iran. Not a blood libel, just a plain old accusation of atrocities. Textbook stuff, the same type of propaganda and counter propaganda you might see for example in the Irish war for Independence or the American Civil War. Much more mundane.

Yeah, that’s sort of my point. If you want to sexually brutalize male prisoners there’s a wealth of options easily available with a ton of precedent.


The dog thing is obviously designed to be maximally inflammatory to the intended audience; the red / green alliance of islamists and hardcore leftists and their useful idiots “fellow travelers”.


Plus of course anyone already maximally inclined to believe negative things about da joos.

You know I always just assumed the vast majority of dog beastiality was like receptive oral where the human smears peanut butter on their genetalia or the dog is the receptive one either vaginally or anally.


I suppose training an adolescent dog to be the one penetrating is possible but it seems extremely difficult; aren’t dog members not nearly as stiff as humans? I don’t know how much anal sex you’ve had but it’s an “out” hole and it fights back more than a bit when compared to a vagina, unless it’s been really “trained up” so to speak.


Someone up thread described this as essentially a blood libel and it seems more likely; dogs are a very specific Arab / Muslim taboo so it smells like a maximally offensive myth made specifically to inflame an already maximally uncharitable audience primed to believe basically anything.


To my mind it reminds me of the 19th century Indian revolt against the British Empire. One of the precursors was a rumor spread amongst Indians serving as auxiliaries that the rifle cartridges were stored in beef fat. And crucially for my point, they told the Muslims that they were stored in pork fat. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story, eh?


Plus, if you wanted to sexually brutalize prisoners there’s a lot easier ways to do it. We got a ton of examples of this.


Ironically this reminds me a bit of that old /pol/ bit about holocaust survivors talking about nazis freezing Jews with dry ice and putting them on mine carts so that they smash into a million pieces looney toons style. Way too baroque to be true but the ones spinning the yarn are given maximum charity due to their “victim” status.


The “Dogs raping prisoners” schtick is a double blood libel as well as it’s a pretty standard lefty canard against any unfavorable regime; I believe the same accusations were leveled against Pinochet, Franco, the Greek Military Junta, etc, etc. usually the CIA is invoked, as is tradition.


A final point; this to me is also illustrative of how certain sexual topics that are politically explosive are difficult to discuss because people are understandably reluctant to engage with the mechanics of the subject. I think for example the backlash against LGBQT ideology only could grow because increasing numbers of people were willing to frankly describe, outside of the gatekeepers eye, the physical acts being performed routinely in great detail. The rest followed.

I think it’s more finely grained than simply a “loser”, like how “based” originally came from drug use but it’s now a pretty specific cluster of traits.


Socially isolated / passively anti-social / reactionary seems more like the real definition of Chud.

Yeah there’s a bunch of parameters that go into it; genetics, lifestyle stuff. I’m on the right end of basically all of those spectrums to max out tolerance.


Frequently drinking very small amounts is a pretty simple way to keep your tolerance high.


I will say that now that I’m around 40 or I have more than two drinks I do feel more sluggish the next day but there’s a billion little tweaks you can make to minimize that; good nutrition, hydration, sleep hygiene, frequent exercise, etc.


I exist as a mid tier Dionysus figure in my friend group. One of my other past times in mountain biking, and I frequently bring three liters of water and one liter of half beer, half lemonade. The first time I went out biking with my friends they thought it was hilarious but near the end of our like 50km journey in the hills I was still rocking and rolling and they were dying of exhaustion.

I’m near 40 and I have consumed alcohol basically every day of my life since I was 21 years old. It’s very unusual for me to go a full 24 hours without consuming alcohol.


I’m writing this with a glass of wine next to me.


I’m an extreme outlier in this regard partially because both my private life and career path are both absolutely steeped in the culture of food & wine and I have extensive culinary training.


It would be extremely unusual for someone like me to not consume alcohol at all. I consume 1-2 standard drinks a day, on party or festival days that can sometimes jump to 3 or 4.


I’m quite moderate in the sense I rarely overindulge, to me alcohol is more like a grocery than to the average person. It accompanies most of my meals except breakfast. Having a beer, a light cocktail or a glass of wine is about as remarkable to me as a cup of coffee or a pot of tea. My drinks are often quite spaced out, I basically never engage in what people consider binge drinking, I find that behavior to be repugnant at this point.


I experimented with full sobriety for six months once, found it to be of no benefit whatsoever, and never thought about it again.


I understand why alcohol consumption is trending the way it is but it fills me with sadness as there is a ton of genius locked into the production of beautiful alcoholic beverages.


I would only ever cut out alcohol consumption under a direct order from multiple physicians. Part of my motivation to be very strong and physically active is to counteract the calories and mild physical stress drinking puts on myself.


Like I said, I’m a rather extreme outlier.

Control? With what military? They’ve lost enormous amounts of materiel, by some estimates a super majority of their navy and Air Force. It might take them years to replace all the lost vehicles and trained personnel.


And the United States Military could just keep mowing the proverbial grass indefinitely as long as political will holds. American military capability is barely strained with type of fighting.


Two weeks isn’t very long.

China + Iran + Russia are strengthened.




“If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans Americans, we shall be utterly ruined.”


Damn, if Trumpian foreign policy is really strengthening China / Iran / Russia, I’d hate to see what a foreign policy that actually damages them looks like.

I adored Catch-22 in high school so maybe I’m in the minority here. Made an entire essay on Milo Minderbender who I maintain is one of the greatest fictional characters of all time.


Half my usernames in the 00s incorporated “Yossarian” which is a great name in addition to a great character.

I’m not catholic and I’ve spent most of my adult life as an atheist but I’ve been going to Catholic Church semi frequently for the last year. I went to early mass today.


I’m doing one meal a day mon - Friday. I’ve dabbled in intermittent fasting before but I’m using this as a good excuse to commit myself. I’ll just be eating dinner so as to maximize family time.


This seems to be a good moderate position for me; I’m overweight but also have a lot of muscle mass that I don’t want to lose. It’s difficult but not overly burdensome; it shouldn’t affect my ability to work at top level or disrupt the most important relationships in my life.


Plus I can do it without calling too much attention to myself which I feel is important. There’s a whole bible verse about it but I fail to recall chapter and verse.


Food is extremely important to me, much more so than the average person as it’s a huge part of my personal and professional identity. Seems a logical choice.

Extremely true. I only do friendly sparring and killer pad work at this point for that reason. I do Thai boxing so tournaments are too hardcore for me, but I’ve been in a handful of somewhat serious fights in my life so I don’t feel the need to prove myself on that regard. I’m familiar enough with real violence not to be unduly frightened by it, and also not to relish in it either.


have like 6-7 hobbies that I cycle through periodically as an adult, Thai boxing is probably the biggest one other than mountain biking. In this instance I’m glad I never got so into it that I became super competitive and obsessed with it. I think being a modest practitioner of a martial art is truly one of the healthiest and most positive things possible.

If you’re doing full contact sparring for years and years I imagine the cumulative damage could be a problem. I limit myself to friendly sparring and gruesome pad work for that exact reason.


You can get very far with just that, I wouldn’t put the cart before the horse on this one.

I don’t currently attend a dedicated boxing gym; my gym has heavy bags of different styles for free use. I do work with a personal trainer once a week for working on some technical stuff / sparring but the other 2-3 times I’m in there I’m largely doing self directed drilling.


Then again I’ve been boxing off and on for like 15 years at this point, so I’m very familiar with all the basics.


If your gym has heavy bags and personal trainers night be worth looking into.

I cannot recommend boxing enough. Excellent sport that’s relatively easy to get into and you can do a lot of training drills by yourself with the help of some tutorials.


It’s exceptionally good for your brain as well; there’s whole layers of strategy and meta strategy involved.


It’s a natural accompaniment to chess for a reason.

My most commonly chosen option for posts is “neutral”; I really only bust out the “bad” option when something didn’t technically break rules but is really shitty for whatever reason. Usually poor writing and poor logic combined, and also exceptionally annoying.
