My philosophical greatest hits: (running thread)

1/ Thread. Relive the major events of the 2010s online culture war. White girl cancelled for rant about Asians in the library:

When public health officials who were insisting on extraordinary measures of isolation to include the forbidding of outdoor church services and funerals unanimously announced in May 2020 that mass BLM protests were an acceptable COVID risk because racism was worse than COVID, I learned that public health was pseudoscientific activism.

RW Twitter rn:

I love to watch movies and TV shows from 15 years ago and see them using their Windows Phones. I tell my kids that these were phones designed especially for the movies.

They're calling it the most insane community note of all time

@JoshRainerGold China in the early 1900s

I’ve never in my life heard anyone say “there are too many Japanese people here”

Net monthly flow of immigration: 🟢 Reagan: +50,000 🟢 Bush 1: +55,000 🟢 Clinton: +67,000 🟢 Bush 2: +75,000 🟢 Obama: +68,000 🟢 Trump 1: +40,000 🟢 Biden: +200,000 🔴 Trump 2: -145,000

NO KINGS! 🤣 Made by the legendary @GizmoMemes

@BrowningMachine 1. an existential threat to your entire worldview and everything you cherish 2. have an easy button to instantly completely remove him from power and cause infinite shame and sorrow 3. never push it never even threaten to use it in the 10 years you’ve had it yeah I’m not buying

What degree of stupidity does it require to think they have proof of pederasty on Trump... But held it back?

ALERT: LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt fires back against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass after a reporter asked him if being a “reality TV star” is hurtful for his campaign. “That was from 20 years ago. If we look at what Karen Bass was doing 20 years ago, she was in Cuba learning how to make bombs with the people who would then go bomb Capitol Hill.”

@WilliamWolfe "go and tell" vs "invite and ask"

False. Most immigrants coming to America, legal or illegal, are not Christians.

@Asmongold @OliDugmore @RoryStewartUK

@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

I asked @RoryStewartUK about the prevalence of anti-Muslim bigotry in modern politics and his reply stunned me. What I wanted to talk about was the way ignorance and hatred (recent examples: describing Muslims praying in public as “an act of domination”, political parties trying to ban the burqa) was now not just harming British Muslims, but also the national interest. How a lack of understanding about martyrdom or Persian nationalism connects to a war that might cause a global depression. I thought he might talk about Karbala, and we did eventually, but he began with a precise and confronting statement: much of what we’re dealing with is, quite simply, racism. And not only that, but the weaponisation of that racism, and its political uses, which he described as “profoundly disturbing.” He talked about arguing with Tommy Robinson. Speculated about possible endpoints for a politics that don’t incorporate dignity and love. And drew a parallel to anti-Semitism in the 1930s. If you haven’t listened to the latest episode of The Exchange yet, you really need to. Listen in bio.

What if instead of "Total Recall" it was "Total Retard" and they showed you what your life would be like if you were retarded instead?

Stephen Miller: "Imagine a native Minnesotan who works as a lineman who is worried about his ability to provide for his family and he has a Somali refugee neighbor who arrived two years ago and has a Mercedes and never seems to go to work and gets unlimited free money for life."

@FenixAmmunition That Reagan was the best GOP president until Trump came along is more of a condemnation of the GOP than of Reagan

Bunch of Gen Z kids with "raised by Reagan" shirts. Yeah? You were raised by the people who voted for the guy that granted amnesty to 3 million illegals and oversaw the passage of the 1986 machine gun transfer ban. Lol.

It's incredible how many times I've heard Ronald Reagan being praised here at CPAC, there are still a ton of Republicans clinging to the memory of something that never really existed. Fascinating.

@KurtSchlichter Marine. Lack of enthusiasm over Iranian payback. Doesn't track.

There’s exactly 0 chance this is true. Unless you think that Daily Beast is wired into the White House and Trump’s thought process. In which case you’re an idiot and I’ve got some magic beans to sell you.

@travis4nh FAFO TV

If there was a TV channel that was nothing but small business owners beating shoplifters with baseball bats, I'd reverse my 35 year abstention from television and have cable installed. I'd OD on that crap; just 19 hours a day of boobtube.

@IMAO_ An account that sprung out of the ether in the run up to 2024 election cycle

Who is Eric Daugherty?
