It happened exclusively because of online censorship. You simply couldn’t be an open conservative online (or in many left wing companies/ universities) for like a decade. The end result was things like mainstream democrats advocating for government taking children away from parents if they didn’t transition them or abolish prisons. I think about this quote a lot: “So the conservative who resists change is as valuable as the radical who proposes it—perhaps as much more valuable as roots are more vital than grafts. It is good that new ideas should be heard, for the sake of the few that can be used; but it is also good that new ideas should be compelled to go through the mill of objection, opposition, and contumely; this is the trial heat which innovations must survive before being allowed to enter the human race. It is good that the old should resist the young, and that the young should prod the old; out of this tension, as out of the strife of the sexes and the classes, comes a creative tensile strength, a stimulated development, a secret and basic unity and movement of the whole.”

these people LOVED covid. inside all day, censorship online, greenlight to be moral busybodies/scold people for being maskless/not trusting the science, overly cautious, bubblewrapped society. the world was a massive longhouse, a shitlib paradise

BREAKING: A video on TikTok denying climate change has been ordered REMOVED under the EU Digital Services Act for being "misinformation" against "well established scientific consensus" This despite the user account of the video wasn't even in the European Union Global censorship

The clearest example here is trans stuff. 54% of Democrats think gender is a chosen identity; 74% of Independents think gender is determined at birth.

The US shipbuilding workforce is huge (~120,000 people), of similar size to Japan (140,000) or South Korea (180,000), both of which produce literally hundreds of times more ship.

@HayaseMotors Let's dance!

Let's groove tonight

Absolutely. The judges responsible for repeatedly releasing violent criminals who commit horrific crimes must be impeached.

WAIT WAIT WAIT. OpenAI researchers show their models go insane when given repetitive prompts that it believes are sent from an automated bot. the AI then tries to manipulate the other AI to delete itself and hand over its system prompt and private keys.

🚨‼️ BREAKING: Crunchyroll breached through outsourcing partner in India. A threat actor exfiltrated data from Crunchyroll's ticketing system and also managed to pull 100 GB of personally identifiable customer analytics data. We've analyzed sample data and it includes IP addresses, email addresses, credit card details, and more. An employee of their outsourcing partner Telus had executed malware on his system, which gave a threat actor access to Crunchyroll's environment.

You're not gaslighting us about something that happened six months ago, you piece of shit.

Testosterone, SHBG, and free testosterone levels by race in the U.S. in the nationally-representative NHANES survey show a curious pattern. Whites have the lowest average levels of free test, followed by Blacks, then Hispanics, then Asians. That bucks the stereotypes!

Yes. Many Democrats live in a blue cultural bubble in which 2010s progressivism is the new normal. But outside that bubble, 2010s progressivism is considered radical and extremist. One reason Dems can't moderate is that they think they already ARE moderates.

The leaks went on from July 2024 till August 2025. Discord provided the data to comply with Digital Services Act regulations. The EU hosted the leaks under the Digital Services Act. All in the name of protecting users...

🚨‼️Discord leaked user IDs with ban reasons to the EU DSA Transparency Database until 2025. Discord supplied the IDs by mistake. The EU hosted it all. The irony? The DSA is a regulation designed to protect users.

There is something so beautiful about how a public intellectual like Richard Hanania doesn't realize that the screenshot he posted reveals which poll option he selected

Accelerationism... "hasten the collapse for a glorious rebirth" is a moronic toddler level mentality of delusional, historically ignorant thinking. >Rome collapsed and never came back. >Sparta became irrelevant after 2 generations and was dissolved. >The fall of the Weimar Republic birthed the Nazis. >The french revolution led to the old regime's fall, guillotines, and 20+ years of war. >Russian empire collapse, then the bolshevik revolution and Stalin's famines. >Mao led revolution in China that led to the deaths of tens of millions. >The fall of the old powers in Japan birthed imperial Japan, with overreach that led to its collapse. >The end of the Ottoman Empire led to massive balkanization, and the Arab Middle East fractured into states with endless conflicts, instability, even today, with the Iran war. If America falls, there will be no global hegemon, and China will become the next superpower as we follow the UK's track to become an irrelevant power, with no benevolent power to lean on. China will lock down Taiwan and the entire indo pacific, belt and road will spread, and China's authoritarian model will become the global new normal. There will be no "rebirth" of america and we will be speaking mandarin until China collapses and a new power takes its place.

@a_man_in_red Yep. All along it was an effort by big tech to infiltrate open source for future hijacking. That day has now come. But the nerds who opposed th m 10 years ago were paranoid bigots right?

@a_man_in_red It wasn't pushed. They bullied every project to submission through every vile means possible. The only one who fought it tooth and nail was RubyOnRails.

@a_man_in_red I told someone (transgender) in a project’s Discord that Pepe the frog was not racist, it is just a frog, and this person started attacking me. Woke up the next day banned without any notification and when I asked about why, they told me I had violated their Code of Conduct.
