The reason I'm so quiet about Iran
The reason I'm so quiet about Iran is this:
There's no question about who creates, funds, and trains these groups. Sadly, the U.S. government and its people have no control over their own foreign policy and end up being the scapegoats in this matter.
It reminds me of the first Spider-Man movie (the one with Tobey Maguire, not the '70s version). In the film, Spider-Man gets ripped off by the wrestling promoter, and later, the same promoter gets robbed. Spider-Man initially says it's not his problem, but then, by a twist of fate, the robber ends up killing his Uncle Ben. If Spider-Man had done the morally upright thing and stopped the robber, he might have prevented his uncle's death. But if he had intervened, he could have created an even bigger monster—perhaps a new villain who wouldn’t have just accidentally killed Uncle Ben but would have pursued Spider-Man and his family across every multiverse.
That’s how I feel about Iran right now.
I could virtue-signal like I have with every other war, but it wouldn’t change anything other than exhaust my energy. Instead, I say let Israel deal with weakening the future terrorist groups they helped create. Let Israel keep its hands tied, and let the communists and marginalized groups rage against the machine.
Meanwhile, people like me can sit back, build security systems, and modify financial privacy protocols.
How Opposition to the Antisemitism Bill Mirrors (and Amplifies) the Iraq War Protests
The controversy surrounding H.Res. 1449, which adopts the IHRA definition of antisemitism and potentially conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism, bears striking similarities to the Iraq War protests of the early 2000s—only this time, the opposition has the potential to reach an even larger scale and broader coalition. The Iraq protests were a w…
How Whites Are Being Pushed into 'Manual Labor Slave Trades'
I noticed the narrative promoting trade schools for white individuals long before Elon’s breakdown—perhaps a PR stunt—regarding H1-B status for Indians, while simultaneously condemning American exceptionalism and labeling us as low IQ barbarians. As someone who grew up in a lower to middle-class neighborhood, I resonate with Elon’s sentiments, especiall…
Can Europe's Success Be Attributed to Following God's Law?
It is possible to argue that Europe's success in key historical periods—particularly in science, law, governance, and technological advancement—was indeed rooted in adherence to principles derived from Judeo-Christian teachings, especially through the influence of Christianity. Following these Abrahamic laws provided a foundation that transcended human …
The Hidden Costs of Michigan's Broken Driving System
Michigan residents know all too well the daily struggles that come with living in a car-dependent state. Unlike cities like Chicago, where public transportation provides a viable alternative, Michiganders are forced to rely on their vehicles for everything—from work to grocery runs. This reliance comes with burdens that disproportionately affect lower-i…
Staying in My Lane
"The algorithm allowing leftist accounts to say things about this situation that would normally get them suspended was a very telling flag. I'm so done with all the emotional baiting and identity politics. If it doesn't directly affect me at the moment, I don't care. I'm in my own lane, selling art and being professional."
