Israel has been using white phosphorus for decades. There's no way the US didn't know about this.

It's weird though. The header says 11 but the article says a dozen.

He's a former banker who lives in Aspen. Of course he has no strong opinions other than maintain status quo.

If you don't mind the cholesterol, aged (preferably 2 years or more) cheese like parmeggiano reggiano and cheddar are great protein and fat sources. Good bioavailable calcium as well.

With books when I used to read more, very frequently. I'd be going strong until the last 50-100 pages and then set it down and not pick it up again. Then I'd forget wtf was happening and usually just give up. Games are similar too.

Damn, okay. I take it back. I guess I'm just so used to seeing fascists use terms like population decline, etc. that I'm pretty jaded. I don't personally agree with the proposition that we should prevent population decline, but respect where they're coming from otherwise. Thanks for the links

I'm going to use "=" as a shorthand that means what the statements are dog whistling. These are statements from their about page

Declining fertility rates more prominently among the affluent = the poor shouldn't be reproducing, and we should encourage only rich babies (this one sounds alot like those silicon valley pronatalists). Also "affluent" is usually code for white.

Forced migration and places being "unable to take care of their own" = anti-immigrant, isolationism.

Demographic changes = tied closely to the last one, but typically also related to domestic racism and almost always bigoted against nonwhite people. Never seen someone worry about demographic changes without a racial element.

NIMBY regulations = deregulate housing market and allow developers to build whatever. Given all the other things and the fact they don't mention affordability makes me think they just want to make developers rich.

The interesting thing here is they mention austerity and privatization a couple times. These are typically left wing critiques. So honestly it's pretty confused. It's possible it's left wing trying to propagandize to the right. Could be vise versa. Seeing population decline (especially since it's mostly majority white nations that have declining populations) as a bad thing gives me fascist impressions.
