So. I wrote a book about modern fascism as a backlash to LGBTQ rights and women’s liberation. It breaks down why this happened, how we fight the new misogyny, and how we win. You might find it useful. amazon.com/Sexual-Revolut…

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

Yeah, academia tried this and it's leading to disciplinary collapse.

I don't get how people are planning to sidestep the very basic problem that if you don't have junior hires right now, you won't have experienced people 5 or 10 years later.

@faustianwigger @ArvusF47977 I hear this. I just don’t agree that this is an exclusively/largely autistic slur. I think it’s commonly used and understood to mean an adult man who is deeply immature. BUT it’s an important reminder about how metrics of maturity can be ableist, so- thank you.

@PennyRed @sneed_emmanuel Seems like you want to whore around while your cuck "main" partner just accepts it because this is the only chance for pussy he'll ever have. "It's just sex. She might have sex with others but it's still me she truly loves, right?" Bleak.

@PennyRed You wrote all that to defend a morbidly obese sow whose husband rightly wanted to bang a girl who actually gave him an erection, and rather than abandon Lindy entirely, decided a throuple was the more humane option?

@PennyRed Still using autistic slurs in your writing, I see. "Manchild" is an ableist slur, little better than "retard".

@PennyRed Bret weinstein is a great example of how the left creates enemies. The guy took a pretty obvious stand on the fact that noone should be told not to attend classes on the basis of race and was then forced to undergo a wrongthink struggle session like something out of 50s china

Are you fragile and easily baited? Have you ever traded your integrity for a tablespoon of liberal tears?Do you struggle to take responsibility for your actions like an adult? Here’s how to say ‘I made a huge mistake’:

Bret Weinstein@BretWeinstein

I don’t owe anyone an apology for supporting Trump. No one does. The Democrats didn’t run a credible candidate. They ran two insults to our intelligence. It was a de facto coup—rule by a cabal of advisors. Voting Trump was a patriotic duty even if a cabal now seems to control him
