A key tenet of Postmodernism is that the author's intentions are irrelevant to the meaning of the text, which is rightly located in its reader instead. In fact, hidden meanings can be extracted from the text by the reader and imputed unfalsifiably to the text and author.

"Do you guys like bullying Muslims?!" Japanese Leftists storm a residents briefing about the construction of a mosque in Fujisawa. The rise of Islamo-leftism in Japan is very concerning.

I've often been asked what are the conditions that would cause me to accept an invitation for a debate. The key criteria are: 1) whether the interlocutor with whom I might be interacting is acting in good faith; 2) whether we have a shared epistemology for adjudicating competing claims; 3) related to item 1, whether it is conceivable that the person in question might alter their position if presented with compelling evidence; 4) that the person in question is equally committed to truth rather than "winning," "cooking," or "destroying" their opponent; 5) whether they have an IQ higher than my belt; 6) that their knowledge level on the matter to be debated is greater than that of my elliptical. For example, I don't debate young earth creationists, flat-earthers, or Holocaust deniers for one if not more of the latter criteria. Hope this helps.

This is classic Critical Theory aufheben der Kultur. They target an important cultural icon with the goal of starting a fight. You and others say how it's a Christian allegory, and then they talk about orcs and magic to counter, and then people aren't so sure anymore.

NEW: Tucker Carlson’s former employee Phillip Nieto @nieto_phillip who he leaks stories to at the Daily Mail just published a story about an alleged phone call that @JDVance had with @netanyahu. How does Phillip know about the phone call between the VP and Netanyahu? Who leaked it to Phillip Nieto? Was it Tucker Carlson? And if so, who leaked it to Tucker Carlson? 🤔 I’m not accusing Buckley Carlson of leaking, but Buckley Carlson, the son of Tucker, works on the Vice President’s comms team. You’ll recall, Tucker leaked his famous airport detainment lie to Nieto as well. It’s just really interesting how Phillip Nieto got this story. Who leaked a private phone call between the Vice President and Netanyahu to Tucker Carlson’s former employee the same day Tucker released his series on Bibi @netanyahu? And why is the framing of the article and the tone catered to the anti-Israel crowd? I’m just asking questions!!

Please explain this to me: Hamas has launched 20,000 rockets into Israel since 2005, not knowing who it's going to hit or care if women and children are hit and killed by the explosions. Then October 7th happen where the same Hamas invaded Israel and killed over 1000 innocent civilians. Israel finally says we have had enough, then track and kill as many Hamas operatives as possible. Most of them were hiding under hospitals or schools and used civilians as human shields. Yet all you hear about is how evil Israel is, but no one mentions what Hamas has been doing to Israel since 2005. Make it make sense.

Exactly

I've got a theory about how the conflict in Iran originated I've long been skeptical of how Trump got Israel to accept the ceasefire in Gaza because it offered no guarantees that Hamas would dismantle....and here we are in March 2026 and there has been ZERO movement on Phase two of the ceasefire Yet Israel made it crystal clear from day one that they would agree to no deal that leaves Hamas in power or armed...yet they still signed Trump’s Phase 1 anyway So why the sudden change of heart by Israel (even if they won't admit it publicly)? Here's what I think happened: I think Israel saw the war in Gaza as becoming counter productive in terms of being able to fully eliminate Hamas. The longer it went on, the worse their international image and they had no effective military solution to ending Hamas So they negotiated with Trump something in exchange: full US backing to go after Iran...the regime that bankrolled, armed, and green-lit Oct 7 plus every terror proxy in the region Trump gets his big PR “peace deal” win, international heat on Israel drops, and the US gets to finish off its objective (which began with Operation Midnight Hammer) of definitively destroying Iran’s nuclear threat once and for all The two fronts were always linked. No hard evidence of a straight quid pro quo…but damn if the pieces don’t line up nicely Think about it...Hamas has seen a resurgence in Gaza, yet Israel is mostly quiet about it!?! That's not what Israel does... Just noticing. Thoughts?

As a journalist, reporting from Tel Aviv during this war has given me a deeper appreciation of how the pro-Palestinian movement is fuelled by relentless lies. These people have no shame.

Even visiting Israel outside of wartime, this was so unbelievably obvious that it was disorienting.

Why am I so invested in Israel if I’m a non-Jew or non-Israeli? I spent years in Israel as an adolescent and experienced what goes on their firsthand. I rode Jerusalem city buses to school at the height of the first intifada. It’s a bizarre thing to sit next to a fully armed Israeli soldier and also realize that you could blow up at any moment just for existing. I also served in the United States Army during the war on terror after 9/11. It was strange to me that to see that we were fighting the same enemy the Israelis were, that that enemy had made clear what its intentions were on 9/11, and yet… the American people couldn’t seem to make the connection that the enemies of Israel and the enemies of the United States are one and the same. So when people say America First, they don’t realize that without Israel as the vanguard, fighting the enemy every day… we’d probably have a lot more 9/11s. And they’d probably be a lot worse.

While they're being all mad about Israel, maybe we should be talking about Hezbollah where it comes to the persecution of Christians and Catholics.

Dear Bigots when allies show up for the Jewish people and the haters attempt to slander us, call us names, say we are “paid”, harass and attempt to degrade us….this INCREASES our bond with the Jewish people. It doesn’t drive us further away 🤷🏻‍♀️ We FEEL the animosity they do

I wonder what is 'phobic' about 'Islamphobia'

Incredible that it was only 66 years from the first controlled, powered flight to landing on the Moon!

Some ppl have been bamboozled by Joe Kent's "just asking questions" routine, and have failed to detect his bizarre insinuation that Israel may have tried to kill Trump (a truly crazy idea to entertain IMO). Yes, Kent did insinuate that Israel might have been behind the Butler attempt on Trump's life. But you need to listen to Tucker's question in order to see the insinuation. The timestamped link is in the tweet below. Tucker asked, in essence: Since it's clear that Israel pushed Trump into this war, what kind of pressure do you think they applied? Kent answered, in essence: There are two possibilities [of pressure Israel could have applied]. First, it could be the lobbyists in his ear. Or second, it could be much darker. We still don't know what happened at Butler, we don't know what happened to Charlie Kirk, but we know Trump feels like his life is threatened. In the context of Tucker's question, that is a clear insinuation that Israel might have been behind both Butler and Charlie Kirk. How else can you read it? The hedging he does immediately afterwards––"by no means am I saying Israel did this or that"––doesn't undo the insinuation. It just clarifies that it is an insinuation, rather than a confident statement of Kent's beliefs. Either way, it shows that Kent is in La La Land.

A guy in London looked straight into the camera and said what a lot of people are quietly thinking: “I was born here. I remember how it used to be — the energy was fantastic. Now the people are just shells. They’ve been muzzled so much, everything sucked out of them. It’s out of their hands, it’s out of their control. Man, I pray for the UK.” It’s raw, nostalgic, and hits hard if you’ve watched the change over the years. Have you noticed the same shift in energy and spirit in your own city or country? Or do you still feel the old vitality is there, just buried? Your thoughts 👇

You might want to brush up on your international law before calling it illegal. In his book, De Iure Belli ac Pacis, Grotius, the founder of international law, makes it clear that any nation that has been the victim of aggression can seize such territory from an aggressor to ensure he is incapable of again launching such an aggression. This principle governed many redrawing of borders over the last centuries or two. In Lebanon’s case, its territory has consistently been used since 1948 to attack Israel without provocation. Four times (1948, 1978, 1982, 2006) has Israel, including in 1948, has Israel needed to seize territory up to the Litani River to reverse the aggressions and forestall future ones. Four times (1948, 1978, 1999, 2006) has Israel left the territory to the original, verified Sykes-Picot border line, only to find itself subject to renewed aggressions. After five times, it stands to reason Grotius’ principles can be applied.

WOW. Cenk Uygur admits that his grandparents are first cousins! 🤣 Suddenly everything about him and his nephew Hasan Piker makes perfect sense. They’re literally inbred retards.
