@MillennialWoes > WTF is it with lefties not having a disgust response? You wouldn't think it's possible, but then you see it again and again.

WTF is it with lefties not having a disgust response? How can anyone look at that woman, her fingers caked in slime, and not be repulsed?

@AuronMacintyre Most of the Founders probably would have endorsed what Teddy Roosevelt wrote about this a century later, which would make them unambiguous "white supremacists." I understand why even the right can be squeamish about it, but we shouldn't bowdlerize or apologize for their beliefs.

Hasan is a spoiled rich dilettante playing with Marxism for fun, Marxism is generally the ideology of the upper class failson That said, there is an uncomfortable truth lurking behind his words America was founded by Anglo Saxons for the benefit of themselves and their posterity, that part is in the Federalist Papers and the Constitutions Those European systems define our religion, our traditions, our understanding of government, and our expectations for families There is no aspect of our system that was not influenced by and intended for people who exist in that tradition This isn’t “white supremacy” it’s just the way every civilization is constructed India is structured for Indians, China for the Chinese We are a real people with a real history, and our institutions reflect that truth No reason to run from it or be ashamed of it, as Trump has recently proven

"I don't care about immigration, I care about the religious struggle between Catholicism and Judaism" is basically Fox News conservatism for brown Zoomers.

@petlioness @wesyang I guess it's kind of ironic that it took actual Nazis to end the nascent lunatic trans movement in Germany.

@wesyang There is, in fact, at least one precedent, and thats Germany in 1933, one of the most advanced democracies in the world at this point, with a functioning legal system, turning on its Jews. The parallels arent a coincidence. The frightening thing is what it took to change it back

The reason not one Democrat has been able to moderate on trans inclusion in sports is that they are stumped by Chase Strangio's conundrum: moderating on sports would mean accepting and acting on the (true) premise that trans girls aren't real girls. (They are boys.) Any claim made in the sports domain also applies to all other sex-segregated domains. Contrary to claims made by would-be moderates on this issue, there is simply no way to give ground in any domain without acknowledging the basic falsehood at the foundation of a movement that exists to deploy state power to force people to affirm. The transgender movement designed it this way, to permit no retreat on any front, by making its appeal based on a truth claim: "trans women are women." The advantage of this truth claim was that it resolved every question at once. The problem with this truth claim was that it was, in fact, untrue, and self-evidently so, such that it could not withstand any scrutiny and could only be upheld through a societal campaign of repression which it became the responsibility of the political party endorsing it to enact. All those seeking to triangulate on this issue are forever caught in this impasse, which is why no one tries to escape it, and those who do try find themselves quickly ensnared and unable to do anything about the deep unfairness that this agenda forces them to inflict on a generation of girls. As a result, there are male rapists and murderers in women's prisons across Blue America, and parents having their custody stripped from them by courts if they won't affirm a harmful falsehood that will leave their children sterilized, and millions of children being trained to hate and fear and seek to destroy those who reject false secular dogmas taught to them from the earliest age as the only truth. There can only be a clean break wherein people admit that we have to stop propagandizing children to believe falsehoods, stop acting like it's morally compulsory to treat a falsehood as if it is true, stop punishing people for telling a truth, acknowledge that all of this is profoundly corrosive to the moral and epistemic foundation of a reason-based society in a way that matters to every other aspect of a reason-based order, and that in fact threatens the continuation of that order precisely because the institutions that are stewards of this reason-based order have become infected by it more than any other faction of society. The whole thing has to be scrapped. Of course we have no precedent for societal institutions going all in on such a self-evident falsehood and thus we have no roadmap for how to pull back in a way that saves enough face for those responsible for inflicting this on society to consider doing so. In the process of inflaming this ludicrous travesty of a civil rights movement, a subpopulation of hundreds of thousands of children have been memed into existence, told their lives depend upon the fulfillment of impossible promises that can never be true, told that the non-fulfillment of these impossible promises is a form of genocide, and as a result we already see members of this subpopulation routinely acting out in the form of murderous rampages planned or executed by mentally comborbid youth who were told that pretending to be something they are not would be the resolution of all their problems, and that the whole world not being compelled by law to participate in upholding the falsehood that they've been told their existence requires is violence. This is the Democrats' -- and societies -- dilemma that it may or may not have the resources to solve.

> You don’t have to become a psycho where you believe America is the bad guy and...Russia [is] the good guy. Darren Beattie, one of the top State Department officials appointed by Trump, believes the US "color revolutioned" Ukraine in 2014 by supporting the coup against their president (because we wanted an anti-Russian regime to replace the Yanukovych government). We should have stayed out of it or urged enemies of Yanukovych to simply vote him out in the March 2015 election. You don't have to think Russia is the good guy to recognize that America has been one of the bad guys in that region.

Look, I’ve had “dissident” political opinions my entire life. I was raised to believe the South had the right to secede, that Europe became gay after the monarchies got overthrown or reduced to figureheads, that the federal bureaucracy wants to take your rights away. That maybe we shouldn’t have been involved in some of these wars. Maybe it’s because I had to deal with this in an environment where that wasn’t the consensus on the right, but you can believe these things without hating America. You don’t have to become a psycho where you believe America is the bad guy and Iran, China, and Russia are the good guys. Or that the solution is reifying the ideology of interwar Germany.

Red button pushers are the same ones returning shopping carts btw

@TheDosXXMachina @WomanDefiner President can't pardon state convictions.

@WomanDefiner My sincere belief is that if Trump wins the midterms, Chauvin gets a pardon.

I'm aware no one who thinks Floyd was murdered by Chauvin is going to change their mind. To do so would mean admitting they're wrong and they robbed an innocent man of his life and they will never admit that but they did that. They took Chauvin's life away for doing what he was trained to do. These are the very same people who practice restorative justice and allow violent people to constantly maim and kill people while handing out slaps on the wrist as punishments.

@_imey @RokoMijic

@fit3m3 @RokoMijic I'm blue and I want to deport millions.

The red-blue discourse has been very clarifying in pinpointing the problem with The West. Mass immigration, feminism, AI doomerism, communism, rent control, .... They are all just expressions of the Blue Button mentality applied to different areas of life

@_imey @RokoMijic Blues promote diverse immigration that turns the cooperative core into a minority, and so you wind up living among an uncooperative majority that is worse than what you started with.

Undeniably. But that's infinitely preferable to living amongst those who are undercooperative. And it is not clear how easy it will be to settle on the right amount. A global cull of blues would make the surviving western people more like them and less like us. It would change them much less, and far fewer of them would perish.

The odds are ~0 that half the people in any group of size would choose “maybe die” over “don’t die”. We should run the experiment, but you only receive an extremely painful but nonlethal electric shock. Any variation with any stakes at all would quickly reveal that a minority of blues will have the courage of their (claimed) convictions

It's been fun watching one of the more highly regarded commenters at Arnold Kling's blog/substack get slowly redpilled over the years. He went from Ben Shapiro-class neocon (2010) to "I consider American Jews the enemy because of their politics, but Israel is great" (2020) to "I am against Americans dying to protect Israel in this stupid war" (yesterday). Can't imagine how Kling perceives this evolution.

Yup, everyone irl is redpilled on Jews and Israel, recognizes that the Iran war is 100% due to Jews, and that Trump’s time has passed This is why it’s so ridiculous for the GOP shills to still be defending Jews and Trump and the Iran war. Everybody knows, man. You’re not playing 84-D chess. You just look like a stupid, dishonest, corrupt old “boomer,” which is what you actually are. Trump is done, Jews are done, it’s over, you need to get out in front of things and come up with a new message and strategy given this new reality Twitter is an Online retirement home for RW millennials who are only here because all our old Online hangouts are gone now. It doesn’t reflect real life at_all. Whatever garbage you see being shamelessly shilled on here, assume that irl sentiment toward it is the complete opposite

I’m visiting family in a heavily red state small town rn and enthusiasm for Trump/MAGA/GOP has completely disappeared. There’s a house here that always has a bunch of American flags, Trump signs, and other patriotic decorations. All of it taken down now. I ask how people feel about Trump now and the Iran war and they just look down and shake their head Transparently going to war for the benefit of a hostile foreign nation, to the detriment of everyone in America, was truly wild. The fallout for the GOP will be permanent, like BLM and covid were for dems. Nobody in the GOP or their goofy Online paid shills seem to care, I guess because they get paid either way, win or lose. But it really sucks for the rest of us regular White people in the US Oh, and there are Literal Indians here, for the first time ever. Very cool. The boomers here who have no Political Opinions other than “the federal government is evil” were right all along

No, LKY is pretty uncomplicated. The core is: - Representative multi-party democracy can't work in a "diverse" society because politics necessarily devolves into lowest common denominator tribalism. - Immigration quotas are necessary to maintain the Chinese supermajority. - You maintain social order by punishing criminals harshly and swiftly without endless noodling over mitigating socioeconomic factors. - Communists get the rope. Most American right wingers (not "conservatives," but the actual right) would accept universal health care and possibly even stricter gun restrictions if we could trade those things for the LKY core. No leftist would ever take that trade, hence LKY is an unambgious right wing figure.

The racial quotas in Singapore public housing are for proportionality. The point was to force integration at block level, which would have been outrageously left wing in 70s America where even integration in schools was extremely controversial. This is not the only aspect of LKY's policy portfolio that, in the US, would code as left wing. There's universal healthcare and a near total ban on guns. Interpreting LKY as a proof point that the American right wing policy program works is a misread – he's a much more complicated figure than that.

The utter lack of understanding of what American leftism is and does always leads to funny misinterpretations This person when discussing Singapore and Lee Kwan Yew as non-right wing figure hears the phrase "forced race quotas in public housing" does an automatic progressive decoding of the phrase without thinking about the actual meaning For decades NYC has had extensive "public housing" with no "forced racial quotas" and yet the population of NYCHA properties is 88% black and Hispanic enforced by an informal ethnic militia which has state backing (they can use collective violence against outsiders, outsiders cannot retaliate or defend themselves in an organized fashion) precisely because American governance is gay race communism and everything is geared towards supporting a progressive vote bank Singapore does not allow *any* of that and "forced racial quotas" combined with actually enforcing the law and not having tacitly state backed informal ethnic militias ensure that no one *can* attempt to create this situation as a power play None of this is anything but "right wing" in the sense that *it defuses a route for leftists to gain power*

@AntiCommieBecca @AgenticJonesy @Polymarket > [DEI is] illegal. The courts have been very explicit on that. And yet universities and employers continue belligerently enforcing DEI.

@AgenticJonesy @Polymarket Those are illegal. The courts have been very explicit on that.

JUST IN: Women now have the majority of W2 jobs in the US.

Nothing compares to it, because it is an endless opportunity for voter fraud. It is hard to overstate how much the Republican Senators who refused to support the SAVE Act mandating voter ID are traitors to their party, and their country.

@MillennialWoes @AllisonPearson Thanks, I didn't know this history. Would be great to have Andrew Joyce back on twitter.

@AllisonPearson Most loyal?! Allison, come on! theoccidentalobserver.net/2015/07/12/jew…

Do we really want to lose our oldest, most loyal and productive minority? It breaks my heart. My plea to Britain’s Jews: Please don’t go. 👇 British Jews are in danger. Either we do something about it or they’ll leave telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/2…

@bakedalaska @arEweTherYe @This_Fire_Rises @Babygravy9 He's a fed. Same guy at earlier Greenville SC protest, this time flashing the OK sign he learned is super racist at some briefing. Again with a brand new creased flag, and he's alone in every picture in both places.

@arEweTherYe @This_Fire_Rises @Babygravy9 Sadly he’s not there are brain dead people like this out there lol

If you deliberately wanted to make the American right look as bad as possible, you couldn’t have done a better job than Unite the Right. It should come as no surprise that a major left-wing activist group is alleged to have given c.$300k to one of the organisers of the rally.

"We need a Christian-Muslim allia..." No. "Israel is our Greatest Al...." No.

@Rickisback_ON_X @HansMahncke > they were victims of the Obama DOJ diGenova testified in favor of Eric Holder's AG confirmation. Joe deserves everything that happened to him.

@HansMahncke I do know that Joe and Victoria were both commenting on Russia-Gate while it was happening, so I think they have somewhat of a good idea of the picture, since they (he and his wife) were victims of the Obama DOJ for their witch-hunt into Rudy Giuliani, Trump and Ukraine.

No disrespect to Joe, but what I can’t for the life of me understand is why no one from this corner of Twitter, where there are highly accomplished lawyers with a deep command of the granular details, many of whom helped solve key pieces of this, has ever been brought in to consult or lead on Russiagate. It didn’t happen with Durham, didn’t happen with Bondi, and it isn’t happening now either.

Going on 50 years since Searle's Chinese Room and absolutely no one has come up with a real non-coping refutation btw
