The opposite of love isn't hate. It's indifference.

RFK Jr. has quoted Sinclair Lewis. Maybe that's true -- he majored in American literature/history at Harvard, and I didn't. But there's a very similar *Upton Sinclair* quote : "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
And he doesn't.
Excerpt from interview with RFK Jr., David Samuels (2023) "The interesting question that I think most Americans have is: Why would a corporation like Monsanto or General Electric poison all the fish in the Hudson if it’s their fish too? And that question was answered by Sinclair Lewis, who said that it’s impossible to persuade a man of a fact when the existence of that fact diminishes his salary. There’s an economic law called “tragedy of the commons,” which basically says an individual following their own economic interests will capture and kill the last fish in the ocean no matter what it does to the rest of society."

Will admit that TIL that autarky is different than autarchy:

autarchy
These two derivatives of similar but different Greek roots (archein, to rule; arkeein, to suffice) are frequently confused. ‘Autarchy’ means self‐government, usually nowadays without pejorative overtones. ‘Autarky’ is invariably used pejoratively to mean self‐government in a manner condemned by the speaker. A regime is autarkic if it tries to be self‐sufficient by cutting off trade and intercourse with the rest of the world....

Rapor: İsrail ordusu Suriye'nin Kuneytra kırsalındaki köylere sızdı
İsrail ordusunun pazartesi günü Suriye'nin güneyindeki Kuneytra kırsalındaki el-Acref, el-Meşirfe ve Ummu Batina köylerine girerek, bazı evlerin etrafını sarıp arama yaptığı rapor edildi. # fazla oku Bu bölüm, konuyla ilgili referans noktalarını içerir. (Related Nodes field) Suriye resmi haber ajansı SANA'nın haberine göre İşgalci İsrail ordusunun dört askeri araç ve iki tanktan oluşan bir devriyesi Adnaniya kontrol noktasından yola çıkarak el--Meşirfe köyünden el-Acref köyüne doğru ilerledi ve el-Meşirfa'da durarak bazı evleri aradı. SANA, yedi askeri araç ve iki tanktan oluşan başka bir İsrail devriyesinin Ummu Batina köyünü bastığını ve köyün batısındaki bir evi kuşattığını bildirdi. Ancak bu eylemin nedenleri veya amaçları hakkında herhangi bir bilgi vermedi. İsrail, Suriye’de geçtiğimiz aralık ayında Beşşar Esed rejiminin düşmesinden sonra Suriye ordusunun askeri tesislerini yok etmek ve altyapılarının yeniden inşa edilmesini önlemek amacıyla bu tesisleri hedef almıştı. Ayrıca Şam, Kuneytra ve Deraa çevresindeki kırsal bölgelere kara harekâtları düzenleyerek Suriye ile İsrail arasındaki sınırdaki tampon bölgeyi kontrolü altına aldı. Daha sonra sınır bölgelerinde baskınlar düzenleyerek çok sayıda kişiyi gözaltına aldı. ***İçerik orijinal haline bağlı kalınarak çevrilmiştir.

@ACREF: Opposing the evils of #IdiAminDada, #RobertMugabe and #EmperorBokassa was in no way #antiAfrican.

Likewise, it is incorrect to judge opposition to the genocidal evils of #BenjaminNetanyahu, #ItamarBenGvir & the sick, #racist #granny #DaniellaWeiss as being #antisemitic.
Idi Amin Dada Oumee (/ˈiːdi ɑːˈmiːn, ˈɪdi -/ ⓘ, UK also /- æˈmiːn/; 30 May 1928 – 16 August 2003) was a Ugandan military officer and politician who served as the third president of Uganda from 1971 until his overthrow in 1979. He ruled as a military dictator and is considered one of the most brutal despots in modern world history. Benjamin Netanyahu (born 21 October 1949) is an Israeli politician who has served as the prime minister of Israel since 2022, having previously held the office from 1996 to 1999 and from 2009 to 2021. Netanyahu is the longest-serving prime minister in Israel's history, having served a total of over 17 years. Daniella Weiss (Hebrew: דניאלה וייס; born 30 August 1945) is a far-right Israeli Orthodox Zionist, founder of Nachala, an Israeli settler organization, and a former Mayor of Kedumim, an Israeli settlement located in the West Bank. She was first elected Mayor of Kedumim in September 1996, and was re-elected for a second term in November 2001 through 2007. Weiss' organization, Nachala, has been involved in at least one killing. She was sanctioned by Canada in June 2024 for violence against civilians in the West Bank and by the United Kingdom in May 2025, calling her the "godmother" of Israeli settler movements.
