Israel, Iran, and good old Vermont, June 16th, 2025.

Whenever I write anything about Israel, anything whatever, I open up my Twitter feed a couple hours later, only to discover a misty cloud-sourced analysis of my many and sundry deficiencies. I must be

secretly gay. I must want to sacrifice my children in a war with Iran. I must hate the people of

Vermont. I must be applauding the terror state of Israel. I must be a subversive and evil kike. I must

be disseminating boomer-con-twaddle. I must be a Cdian and not a Christian. I must be an anti-white activist.

I must be Zio-Shilling, and I must be fat. It really is quite a blessing to get a retro

glimpse of the good old days. I haven't enjoyed this level of dialectical discourse since sometime

late in the seventh grade. Quick with the hot take, slow and the uptake. After Israel launched its attack on Iran, I posted this on X. I am fully supportive of Israel's

responsibility to fight her own wars. We should have nothing to do with it. Our only responsibility

should be to veto condemnations of Israel in the UN. That would be standing up for Israel's

responsibility to fight her own wars. From this statement that I believe we need to stay out of it,

emphasis added, some have extracted the sentiment that I believe we need to stay out of it, emphasis added,

some have extracted the sentiment that I must be calling for American ground troops to be marching on Tehran.

This would seem to indicate that hermeneutical postmodernism has made severe inroads

among certain sectors of the dank right. Words can mean whatever you would like them to mean.

And so the deconstructionist English professor quieted the class

of the Dankham Nons Down. They had enrolled in her class in order to learn how to tweet non-sequiters

with greater a plumb than they naturally felt, having been brought up in Christian homes the way they had been.

Yes, yes, she said soothingly, but what would you have liked him to have said? That's really the only

thing that matters anymore. A more sensible sort of

retort comes from some who ask what I think about Israel being armed to the teeth with American

weaponry. Provided they were purchased, I actually have no problem with them having such arms.
