In an extreme sort o’ way…I had neighbors, a brother & sister from Israel, Barack & Tovah, & they split wide: he was your basic decent guy, came here for a saner life. He moved out when she married a very white, very right-wing policeman. Too bad, he really as a decent guy….

I was having a laugh with a mate at darts last night about how many Police officers who come from parent's who are teachers.

Its a right wing job filled full of far right wing nutters.

That study found that 40 percent of cops reported having participated in domestic violence in the previous year. The researchers questioned spouses and officers separately with anonymous questions and came up with strikingly similar figures.

An FBI advisory board later found that roughly 40 percent of officers who filled out questionnaires in a number of different settings admitted to being physically violent with their spouse in the previous six months. The general population data for self-reported abuse is closer to 4 percent when people are asked to report on the last 12 months.

This has nothing to do with the post I responded to in which you shared your’s and your mate’s hypothesis regarding teacher’s offspring.

Did it have to? You did respond to a post about Police officer's that i was responding to Bagg's post that mentioned right wing Police officers. Hence my first line "Its a right wing job filled full of far right wing nutters."


And yes we did have a chuckle. McCoy is the family name who we were referencing- guess you had to be there. I played table tennis twice this week so threw the darts well on the double.

Now that i think about it I've had a fantastic week. I went for an awesome sail today as well, and its father's day tomorrow. How good is that!

A public feud has broken out between the US’s leading pro-Israel lobby groups over who represents the true interests of the Jewish state in Washington under the most rightwing government in its history.

The hardline American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) has called its smaller and more liberal rival, J Street, a “grave threat” to Israel’s security and accused it of endorsing the country’s “most virulent critics” in Congress.




Why does America give "aid" to one of the richest countries in the world?
Why?

Imo, yes.
I cannot imagine the sociology or psychology of the phenomenon, assuming the correlation is real.

So it would be cool to hear your or your mates’ reasoning on why it is so or why it would make sense.

What is it about having teachers as parents that predisposes someone to end up in law enforcement?

Also, “teachers as parents” could mean one or both. Was there an observed difference here between offspring of one teacher and those of two?

Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones defend Russell Brand over sexual assault allegations

As Russell Brand faces allegations of sexual assault, a “who’s who” of right-wing figures—like Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Ben Shapiro, Andrew Tate, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump Jr.—have expressed their solidarity.

"El Loco", far-right "TikTok economist", wins elections in Argentina 56 to 44.



'Every country has the government it deserves' ?

Widely condemned by all politicians. I have a different view. That kid is a god.damn.hero. That’s how we handled neos in the 80s and 90s. 14-year old, according to witnesses, so no severe consequences from the law. Ok ok 14 y/o in a bar, that’s not normal. But a fascist anti-vaxxer Russian supporter and Qanon nonsense spreader sitting comfy in a student bar… apparantly not considered normal either.

This is a month after he was hit in the head by a Flemish-Ukrainian in Ghent, Belgium. Great city I visited in August, great people, very friendly. That’s like Vivek Ramaswamy getting hit by a Canadian-Ukrainian in Canada.

He’s a non-factor (elections in two days and an older populist reclaimed his voters) and maybe next time use rotten eggs or something.

The background context in these situations here is always this:
Our first major far-right politician, assassinated in 2002. A brilliant charismatic man. Every rightwing populist since has tried to use that occasion to attack those who demonize them and all (fail to) try and get the numbers he reached in the polls.
