@AmnestyUK You're a disgrace. You'd hang your heads in shame, if you had any concept of what that was

@OliDugmore @RoryStewartUK The accusation of racism is not something that should be disproven, it should be ignored Allowing a person to assign a label to you then trying to disprove that label is operating inside of their frame of reference, not yours Their goal is to subvert you, always remember this

The Berlin Wall created the most brutal controlled experiment in human history: identical people, split by ideology, watched for 41 years to see which system would prevail. West Germans embraced market economics while East Germans suffered under socialist central planning. The results? Devastating. By 1989, East German GDP per capita sat at roughly 30% of West Germany's level. East Germans consumed 40% fewer calories, owned cars at one-tenth the rate, and waited 12 years for a telephone connection. Meanwhile, their western cousins enjoyed rising living standards, technological innovation, and personal freedom that made West Germany an economic powerhouse. But the socialists had excuses ready. "East Germany started from a worse position after the war," they claimed. Bullshit. Both regions faced identical devastation in 1945. The Soviets actually stripped more industrial equipment from their zone (roughly $10 billion worth), yet this affected rural areas less than urban centers. And East Germany possessed abundant natural resources like lignite coal and uranium that should have provided economic advantages. The real difference? Property rights, price signals, and entrepreneurship versus state ownership, price controls, and bureaucratic allocation. West Germans could start businesses, invest capital, and respond to consumer demands. East Germans filled quotas set by party officials who had never run so much as a lemonade stand. You can't coordinate an economy through committee meetings and five-year plans when prices tell you nothing about real supply and demand. East Germans voted with their feet—2.7 million fled west before the Communists built their wall in 1961. After reunification, investigators found Stasi files on one-third of the population. When you need secret police watching every third citizen, your economic system has already failed.

@JamesMelville I'm Lebanese. I have a degree in middle eastern history, a masters in middle eastern studies and an Mlitt in middle eastern history. This movie is biased claptrap. It's like saying you've educated yourself on life for Black people in Regency England by watching Bridgerton.

This really hit me hard. Sharing in case you lost your friends and family in the same way. Non-Jews, you need to know what’s happening to Jews. You need to challenge this.

Papa Woof und Krampus und Bleaken
At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, walked through the park in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her. The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter “written” by the doll saying “please don’t cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures.” Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka’s life. During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable. Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned. “It doesn’t look like my doll at all,“ said the girl. Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me.” the little girl hugged the new doll and brought her happy home. A year later Kafka died. Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written: “Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way.”

We are told this is about dignity. About choice. About autonomy. But autonomy does not exist in a vacuum. Choice!? This is not about choice! What does ‘choice’ mean for a 25-year-old woman who has been gang-raped, had no justice, rapists still out there living their lives, whilst she is institutionalised, pathologised, paralysed, and left to live in chronic pain? What does ‘choice’ mean when every system she has encountered has failed to keep her safe, failed to support her, and instead labelled her responses as disordered? What does ‘choice’ mean when the only consistent message she has received is: you are too much, too broken, too difficult to fix? We need to be honest about what we are witnessing. We are witnessing a system that cannot - or will not - provide the depth of trauma-informed, relational, long-term support that survivors need. And systems that will not address male violence - which is a common denominator in these cases. And so, instead, it offers an exit - for the victim. Rest in Peace, Noelia. Another young woman, euthanised after rape and abuse. My new article is in your inbox now. Check comments.

@SwipeWright These fools think that long words, nuanced consensus about how flat the earth is, and being on the so-called right side of history, somehow makes it OK to lie. Not really a rarity these days, but still objectively vile behaviour

🚨NEW: Last year I published a paper detailing the gamete-based definition of the sexes and debunking common activist objections to it. This year, the journal published a critique of it rooted in "feminist epistemology." They invited me to respond. It's now published. The final paragraph of my response (not shown in the screenshots) is: "The renowned geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky wrote that 'Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution,' highlighting evolution as the unifying framework that makes life’s diversity, complexity, and interconnectedness comprehensible. I contend that a parallel statement applies similarly to reproductive biology: Nothing in the biology of the sexes makes sense except in the light of gametes." LINKS Mahr's critique of my paper:link.springer.com/article/10.100… My response to Mahr:link.springer.com/article/10.100…

The story from Spain today in which "human rights" went too far by - effectively – state executing a young women who was a victim of sexual assault and not bringing her perpetrators to justice is exactly the inevitable destination of a progressive groupthink that is rotten to the core and weaponized by the most corrupt of leaders. There is a marriage of three factors: submission to migrants' behaviors and two-tier policing; nationwide sanctioning of the Jewish state; suppression of the dangerous new reality for women and girls. It is no wonder that the first victims of this rot are Jews, and women. The communist government of Spain is protecting Islamist migrants, punishing Jews for breathing, and - now - killing women for being raped. The Red-Green alliance in full effect.

@WallStreetMav The radical left started desensitizing us to death through abortion. Then they introduced voluntary euthanasia. Now they've jumped straight to state sponsored involuntary euthanasia. The next step will be "compassionate" euthanasia for anyone who criticizes the government.
