Thomas Sowell: "Most of the conservative intellectuals started out on the left. Milton Friedman himself pointed out that at a very early period in his life, he was a Keynesian, he was certainly a liberal. Hayek was a socialist.
Wiliam F. Buckley was a conservative from day one, but he was the exception, not the rule."
He’s a mass murderer, a genocidaire, and a criminal guilty of atrocity crimes, yet he struts the world stage threatening freedom and democracy with impunity and people kowtow
He should be arrested, not feted.
🚨Update: DEAD!! IRGC Supreme Commanding General Ahmad Wahidi, who took command after several of his fellow Generals were killed at the start of the War, was killed in an Israeli air-strikes in Tehran tonight!!
"Maga, you see, didn’t rise due to Trump’s supposed “charisma” but as a direct response to woke overreach. .... it is the hard left that has turbocharged right-wing populism — and vice versa."
As always, @matthewsyed is so spot-on. I read him every Sunday and every Sunday my head is nodding enthusiastically and my highlighter pen is highlightingly active.
He concludes: "But this is where I also glimpse optimism: we are adjusting much faster today than in the 16th and 17th centuries. Middle America is exhausted by the deceit (and corruption) of Maga. Farage is falling in the polls. Many on the centre left are finally coming to grasp the sheer insanity of wokeism. It is why I firmly believe that figures like Badenoch and Blair should make common cause, as should all Republicans and Democrats who care more about reality than virality. Because the most important divide in western civilisation today is not between left and right. It is the one between truth and untruth."
Forget left vs right: the battle we now face is between truth and lies
