Every time I want to humble myself, I read entrance exam questions from formerly prestigious universities that were written over a century ago. We live in the ruins of an advanced civilization.

This tweet, with its extreme claims, caught my attention because Elon Musk reposted it. I asked Gemini if any of these claims are accurate. It assured me that they are not. I then asked Grok, which replied that the first four are in fact accurate, and it provided details and sources supporting its response. So, I went back to Gemini, copied and pasted Grok's reply into a prompt, and asked Gemini what it thought about what Grok had just told me. Here's Gemini's response: "I stand corrected... I apologize for my previous response. I attempted to separate fact from social media exaggeration but failed to properly verify the depth of the horrific testimonies from the actual trials like Operation Bullfinch and the Rotherham inquiries. The details you cited from Grok accurately reflect the devastating and brutal reality of what these victims endured."

@johnpavlovitz It’s definitely a threat to the bastardized version of “Democracy” that you believe in, which is a good thing for all the non-retards.

The Supreme Court is a threat to Democracy.

So as I've been saying, even if two Republicans finished top 2, Dems would change the rules of the jungle primary they created to make sure a Dem is the next Governor. Newsom says this openly and proudly. They have no true respect for norms or democracy. They are the authoritarians they claim Trump is.

@s0urpatchkiid @radar_online Wait till you find out the track record of people who have experience in government.

@radar_online Shes right why is this controversial? If a person has zero experience in government DONT VOTE FOR THEM!

Chelsea Handler has officially entered the chat — and she’s not holding back as she takes aim at Spencer Pratt’s wild run for LA mayor… (🎥: INSTAGRAM)

Against, once you realize that the primary business of the Democratic Party is the laundering of tax dollars into salaries and "campaign donations," their decisions start to make a lot more sense. It's all PPP Loans. All of it.

Spencer Pratt is probably not going to win the LA mayor’s race. But he has done something extremely valuable by going around the city and showing how bad it’s become…it’s proving that voters in blue cities don’t care how bad things get, picking Democrats is all that matters

@TorstenBell You have zero understanding of the world that you live in

The far right try to claim our flags but in truth hate our country. They despise what makes the rest of us proud & makes us British, from the NHS to our BBC. They peddle anti-British propaganda globally. Thousands may march today but millions more stand against hate & for Britain

Read what he's saying here and take it seriously. To him, you are not British if you don't worship the NHS and BBC: it's purely the institutions of society that matter, which is why the people are fungible and can be replaced as long as the institutions survive. This is a kind of wet fascism, where the state is the god that exists eternally and crafts the people in its image. The irony is, of course, that legacy 20th Century institutions are not eternal, they are temporal, fallible, and unfit for purpose now. It also ludicrously implies that Nelson and Wellington were not British as they didn't sacrifice their firstborn to the holy NHS or BBC. Torsten won't engage with these critiques because he can't, indeed, he will likely block me because he's Swedish.

@RenoCiccotta @ThomasEWoods Republicans voters would be making up an eleven point deficit absent Trump’s endorsement? Is that your argument here?

Trump is responsible for this. Whatley was always a horrible candidate in a very winnable race. Trump is giving this seat away.

@BillKristol Your just retarded. So today you are a Democrat.

I’m pro-freedom, pro-law and order, pro-limited government, and pro-the Declaration and the Constitution. And so today I’m a Democrat.

@marceelias Here are 12 minutes of prominent Democrats denying an election. They had no evidence and faced no consequences. Tina Peters was in jail because she actually did had evidence of a criminal conspiracy and thus was a threat to the conspirators. youtube.com/watch?v=XX2Ejq…

There is something deeply broken about a society that watches a teenage boy lose his life after being stabbed in the heart at a school track meet… and then turns the accused killer into a celebrity. Today I witnessed hours of livestreams dedicated to fundraising for the Karmelo Anthony family. Panels praising Karmelo Anthony. Calling him a “hero.” Saying HE is the victim. Saying HE deserves justice. Saying HE “did nothing wrong.” Meanwhile Austin Metcalf is no longer with us. Austin doesn’t get to go home. Austin doesn’t get to graduate. Austin doesn’t get to hug his family again. His parents are still grieving a child they will never get back while strangers online celebrate the person accused of taking his life. And in the last 24 hours alone, the fundraising connected to Karmelo grew past $600,000. Hundreds of thousands of dollars flowing in while people openly glorified a man who stabbed Austin in the heart, and mocked the suffering of a dead child’s family. This case has become so toxic that people have been threatened, doxxed, swatted, and harassed simply for defending Austin or demanding accountability (Myself included). There are people sitting in jail right now because of threats tied to this madness. Yet, Dominique Alexander went live yesterday, calling for justice for Karmelo. And these livestream panels continue day and night, pushing the narrative that the real tragedy is what happened to Karmelo. No. The tragedy is that a teenager was killed. The tragedy is that we now live in a culture where personal responsibility is treated like oppression, accountability is treated like injustice, and a grieving family has to watch people turn the accused into a martyr while their son is buried beneath the ground. Austin Metcalf was the victim. And no amount of livestreams, donations, spin, propaganda, or emotional manipulation will change that. During this live stream, I recorded several clips. Only listen if you can stomach it. But according to the panel and Tiffney Billions, who was a participant (the family’s advocate), the Anthony family was listening to them. As they went up one by one, and praised Karmelo for his actions. Billions also stated that during the time of the trial, herself and a group should walk the neighborhood of Frisco, knocking on doors with their “documentation”. And registering black people to vote so that they could have more of “their people” on juries for cases such as this. Just a reminder that in the state of Texas, only an official county-appointed Volunteer Deputy Registrar (VDR) is authorized to officially collect and submit completed voter registration applications on behalf of others in many organized registration efforts. A person also cannot engage in fraud, coercion, intimidation, or misrepresent eligibility rules.

Je veux présenter mes excuses, au nom des Français, pour avoir enfanté la French Theory (qui a enfanté la pire des merdes idéologiques : le wokisme). Nous avons donné au monde Descartes, Pascal, Tocqueville. Et puis, dans les ruines intellectuelles de l'après-68, nous avons donné Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze. Trois hommes brillants qui ont fabriqué, dans l'élégance de notre langue, l'arme idéologique qui paralyse aujourd'hui l'Occident. Il faut comprendre ce qu'ils ont fait. Foucault a enseigné que la vérité n'existe pas, qu'il n'y a que des rapports de pouvoir déguisés en savoir. Que la science, la raison, la justice, l'institution médicale, l'école, la prison, la sexualité, tout n'est qu'une mise en scène de la domination. Derrida a enseigné que les textes n'ont pas de sens stable, que tout signifiant glisse, que toute lecture est une trahison, que l'auteur est mort et que le lecteur règne. Deleuze a enseigné qu'il fallait préférer le rhizome à l'arbre, le nomade au sédentaire, le désir à la loi, le devenir à l'être, la différence à l'identité. Pris isolément, ce sont des thèses discutables. Combinées, exportées, vulgarisées, elles forment un système. Et ce système est un poison. Car voici ce qui s'est passé. Ces textes, illisibles en France, ont traversé l'Atlantique. Les départements de Yale, de Berkeley, de Columbia les ont absorbés dans les années 80. Ils y ont trouvé un terreau qui n'existait pas chez nous : le puritanisme américain, sa culpabilité raciale, son obsession identitaire. La French Theory s'est mariée à ce substrat, et l'enfant de ce mariage s'appelle le wokisme. Judith Butler lit Foucault et invente le genre performatif. Edward Said lit Foucault et invente le post-colonialisme académique. Kimberlé Crenshaw hérite du cadre et invente l'intersectionnalité. À chaque étape, la matrice est française : il n'y a pas de vérité, il n'y a que du pouvoir, donc toute hiérarchie est suspecte, toute institution est oppressive, toute norme est violence, toute identité est construite donc négociable, toute majorité est coupable. Voilà comment trois philosophes parisiens, qui n'ont probablement jamais imaginé leurs conséquences pratiques, ont fourni le logiciel d'exploitation à une génération entière d'activistes, de bureaucrates universitaires, de DRH, de journalistes, de législateurs. Voilà comment on a obtenu une civilisation qui ne sait plus dire si une femme est une femme, si sa propre histoire mérite d'être défendue, si le mérite existe, si la vérité se distingue de l'opinion. C'est de la merde pour une raison simple, et il faut la dire calmement. Une civilisation se tient debout sur trois piliers : la croyance qu'il existe une vérité accessible à la raison, la croyance qu'il existe un bien distinct du mal, la croyance qu'il existe un héritage à transmettre. La French Theory a entrepris de dynamiter les trois. Pas par méchanceté. Par jeu intellectuel, par fascination du soupçon, par haine de la bourgeoisie qui les avait nourris. Mais le résultat est là. Une génération entière a appris à déconstruire et n'a jamais appris à construire. Une génération entière sait soupçonner et ne sait plus admirer. Une génération entière voit le pouvoir partout et la beauté nulle part. Je m'excuse parce que nous, Français, avons une responsabilité particulière. C'est notre langue, nos universités, nos éditeurs, notre prestige qui ont donné à ce nihilisme son emballage chic. Sans la légitimité de la Sorbonne et de Vincennes, ces idées n'auraient jamais traversé l'océan. Nous avons exporté le doute comme d'autres exportent des armes. Ce qui se construit maintenant, en silicon valley, dans les labos d'IA, dans les startups, dans les ateliers, dans tous les lieux où des gens fabriquent encore des choses au lieu de les déconstruire, c'est la réponse. Une civilisation se reconstruit par les bâtisseurs, pas par les commentateurs. Par ceux qui croient que la vérité existe et qu'elle vaut qu'on s'y consacre. Par ceux qui assument une hiérarchie du beau, du vrai, du bon, et qui n'ont pas honte de la transmettre. Alors pardon. Et au travail.

2016. Guy McPherson (a climate change expert, scientist, and professor from the University of Arizona) says that there will not be any humans on the planet by 2026 due to the effects of climate change. Trust the scientists. 😜🤣

The same Congressional Black Caucus that refuses to admit Byron Donalds, Wesley Hunt, John James, and Burgess Owens because they don’t consider them Black since they’re Republicans. Good. It’s a total joke. It can’t go away soon enough.

A losing presidential candidate calling for the end of the constitutional process for selecting a President feels awfully fascisty

Stephen Colbert's late night show first aired in September of 2015. Trump was one of his first guests. Colbert spent the first month of his show talking about Trump. Colbert just spent the last month of his show talking about Trump. He talked about Trump on virtually every show in-between. With the exception of the first time couple months (Colbert was actually pretty kind to Trump in 2015), his show revolved around vitriol and hate for one man. Pretty wild.

@QuetzalThoughts @tracewoodgrains Consider that voters are not grouped into racially segregated districts bc they vote as a block, but they vote as a block bc they are roped into segregated districts. Voter blocks are bad for democracy bc by design they ignore the individual. Antithetical to Classical Liberalism.

That seems to be a natural outcome of classical liberalism itself though. It does not care about group identities as such & I am sympathetic to the argument that such a governance only suits specific races and temperaments (whether because of cultural developments, genes or whatever consequence strikes me as uninteresting) and as such, it was bound to lose out, as by nature of the ideology itself, it couldn't care about this grouping that nonetheless came to exist and view itself as a political coalition. In that sense, classical liberalism seems ill suited for the modern, connected world given its limited appeal to such groupings, especially now where even the races that seemed sympathetic to it have now turned against it.

I'm sympathetic to classically liberal views of race, but people in my broad camp tend to simply lament that black Americans, by and large, are not persuaded rather than asking why not. Why did socialists win black support? because they cared in a way classical liberals did not
