Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Who first said, “on the internet, no one knows you’re a dog”?

Who first said, “on the internet, no one knows you’re a dog”?
In theory, on the internet, it shouldn’t matter if you are dog. What matters is the value of what you say. Of course given that the Twitter message is based on a lie it definitely does matter in this case.
FWIW, I am an American citizen, not born and raised but here by choice, and I also don’t want me or my kids to die for Israel, though I do support Israel’s right to do what they are doing.
However, when John Bolton and Lindsay Graham are walking about on TV with a hard on, you know it is probably time to take your gold and your guns and head for your bomb shelter.
O/T I would like to become an American citizen to be closer to my family and also out of concern that much of the UK is becoming an unwelcoming place for an elderly Jew.
I was still in my 50s when my sibling-sponsored green card application was filed back in 2016. It’s due to be considered when I’m in my mid 70s and if that goes well I could become a citizen shortly after my 80th birthday. Sadly I do not have the necessary spare $5m to circumvent this process.
One reads a lot about family reunification. Done legally it can be a rather slow process.
I think the US has a greater interest in stopping Iran than it has in defending the Ukraine. A nuclear Iran would endanger the flow of oil to the West, and all of the West’s Arab allies. And – Iran is Putin’s ally supplying him with armaments. It is not only about helping Israel.
I also think that Europe (who depends on ME oil) should not be too happy with a nuclear armed Iran. (Neither should Russia… )
that “red pill media” account being run by some dudes in a pakistani village making a living off of reposting MAGA ragebait is basically the modern internet in a nutshell.
The idea that the Islamic Republic of Iran Dictatorship will “only” use nuclear weapons on Jews is false – all infidels would be under threat.
Especially the leading infidel power – the United States of America. What is it about “Death to America” that people find difficult to understand. The IRI regime has been at war with the United States since 1979, the attack on the embassy, and has killed many hundreds of Americans – in many countries.
One can not “deter” the IRI regime – as they believe that if they die fighting infidels they will go to paradise. Deterrence does not work with people who believe they will go to paradise if you kill them.
Therefore the IRI regime must be “sent to paradise” BEFORE it gets nuclear weapons – as it will use nuclear weapons against infidels (NOT “just” against Jews).
Pakistan – India (and other nations) should be very careful of what sort of regime comes to power in Pakistan, as Pakistan has nuclear weapons.
Nominal Muslims (people who are “Muslim” because their families were “Muslim”) are one thing – but people who sincerely believe they will go to paradise if they are killed fighting infidels, are a rather different matter.
Many such cases. There’s an account RadioGenoa, which is ran by some Cambodian national. Ian Miles Cheong, who is an insufferable Elon Musk fluffer, is a Malaysian who is always obsessed with Musk and MAGA politics. I believe the account InevitableWest was exposed to be Indian too. All just grifters making a fortune from X being monetised.
