Is Virtue Signaling Vicious?
Virtue signaling—the practice of highlighting what one takes to be one’s own moral superiority, often by loudly denouncing the character and comportment, including the speech, of other people—has become a dominant mode of rhetoric throughout social media and network television. Virtue theory, in contrast, is a teleological approach to normative morality concerned with how actions affect one’s soul or character. Historians of philosophy usually trace virtue theory to Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, the first extant articulation of ideas such as that habits build character, and virtues...
Macron Shocked French Police Brutalize Citizens
But he is the one that released these sadistic cops on the French people. they beat him for 15 minutes for the crime of not wearing a face mask. https://twitter.com/trtbreaking/status/1331925933058650114?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1331925933058650114%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zerohedge.com%2Fpolitical%2Fmacron-very-shocked-over-brutal-police-beating-black-man-not-wearing-mask More at...
French activists stop Saudi arms shipment bound for Yemen
The Bahri-Yanbu, a Saudi Arabian cargo ship was scheduled to pick up a load of weapons bound for Yemen at a northern French port. The ship departed France without the weapons a day after a rights group tried to block the cargo on humanitarian grounds. French rights group ACAT argued in a legal challenge on Thursday that the consignment contravened a U.N. treaty because the arms might be used against civilians in Yemen. French president Macron defended the arms sales to Saudi. Macron said on Thursday Riyadh, which he called a key ally in the fight against terrorism, had assured him the...
Here’s why Europe went to Istanbul to talk Syria (without the U.S.)
Wow... the optics out of Saturday's Syria summit in Istanbul. While it's true there were no major breakthroughs or significant shifts in the Astana process in terms of winding down the seven-year long war to come out of the four-way meeting involving France, Germany, Russia, and host Turkey in Istanbul, the optics of "Europe going to Istanbul" — and without the United States — speaks volumes. This comes after European countries and especially France for years calling for and at times directly assisting the West's regime change efforts in Syria. And it's more telling in terms of who is...
Trump Threatens Iran as Deadline to Withdraw From Nuclear Deal Looms
Speaking on Tuesday, President Trump again threatened to withdraw from the P5+1 nuclear deal with Iran. Trump previously set an ultimatum of May 12 for withdrawing if the deal isn’t changed substantially. Trump also threatened to make Iran “pay a price like few countries have ever paid.” The May 12 deadline is when President Trump would have to extend sanctions relief from the deal. Without that, the US would effectively be withdrawing. Iranian officials have made clear if that happens, they’ll resume uranium enrichment they’d stopped under the pact. The three EU parties to the deal have...
The Obamafication of Macron
Eleven years ago, the US media started to produce glowing, servile reports about the junior senator from Illinois named Barack Obama. I remember reading an article in Time Magazine that had a curious lack of curiosity about it. The Senator was shown in flattering photos with good lighting, his megawatt smile beaming with confidence. Everything about him was wonderful. All his words had the ring of hope and change and even creaky floorboards stopped creaking when he walked on them. The lack of curiosity was about his achievements in life and what he’d actually done so far. According to...
