Bro, let’s stop pretending.
Muslims make up about 25% of the entire world’s population — over 2 billion people across 50+ countries.
Japanese people? About 1.4% of the world. One single country.
Shinto exists only in Japan.
So when people say “Japan should prioritize minorities and be more accommodating to Islam,” who exactly are we talking about?
The global majority is coming to one of the world’s smallest ethnic and religious groups and demanding that Japan change its culture, food, and traditions for them.
That’s not “protecting minorities.” That’s the majority trying to colonize a tiny minority.
Japan has every right to protect its own people and culture first.
If Muslims want to live under Islamic rules, they already have dozens of countries where they can do that. They don’t need to come to Japan and turn it into another one.
Something broke in me when this happened
I actually fell for that two weeks to flatten the curve thing, as I was still somewhat naïve about “public health” and how big of a scam it is
But it was like the veil dropped when this letter came out
Britain had a moment of silence for George Floyd. Our politicians kneeled en masse to show their outrage at his killing. "I can't breathe" became a slogan.
George Floyd died on the other side of the world. He wasn't British.
Henry Nowak *was* British and his treatment by the police was shocking and negligent in the extreme. Yet there is no minute of silence. There is no coordinated public campaign. There is no kneeling at sporting events.
And we all know why.
During the summer of BLM, some people said "All Lives Matter". This was treated as the highest form of racism and anyone who said this was immediately cancelled. Why? Because the people in charge don't actually think all lives matter in the same way.
They have created a racial hierarchy of victimhood where a career criminal who died through mistreatment by police in a foreign country with 0 evidence of racism like George Floyd is automatically sanctified because of the colour of his skin.
And Henry Nowak, a British man, one of ours, is automatically dismissed and ignored because of the colour of his.
This is the ugly fruit of so-called "anti-racism", an obsession with race that has created a two-tier society which treats people differently because of the colour of their skin.
This needs to stop.
I'm prepared to go to jail over this.
My grandmother Rita Pete went to St. Mary's Indian Residential School. She experienced terrible abuse. As a consequence, she struggled with alcohol use most of her life.
My mother was born with FASD as a consequence of her using alcohol to cope with her trauma.
I am Chief of my community Chawathil First Nation. I am working to address the longstanding impacts of these past policies through renovating homes, building new homes, creating childcare, and growing businesses through economic development.
I have interviewed people who went to Indian Residential Schools. I have interviewed people who believe Indian Residential Schools were awful, horrible schools, meant to remove the Indian from the child.
I've also interviewed people who believe they were well intended, generous investments by Canadian taxpayers meant to assimilate a society and had shortcomings.
Like with many things, the history is dark, complicated, and with any policy that existed for a long time, across a whole country - there were different experiences.
No one story tells us everything. No report shares the full experience of the individuals who went. No commentator today can disprove someone's lived experience with statistics.
The path forward is not to criminalize speech, questions, or debate.
The path forward is empathy for past attendees.
The path forward is truth based on facts.
The path forward is real conversations.
The path forward is to lean into complexity.
If the government criminalizes this, then I will be a criminal for having these conversations.
If I am a criminal by the laws definition, then I am committed to going to jail over this.
Nature is healing 🙏
The woke experiment of hawking fat, gender-ambiguous amorphous blobs as the new feminine ideal is over.
Turns out beauty isn’t an infinitely malleable social construct
(BTW, one of the side effects of VS’s woke foray is that a ton of women I know ditched them entirely and once they actually tried other brands, quickly realized how shoddy and basic their stuff is)
Because the government isn't trying to "help" bring TV prices down.
Nobody is subsidizing TV purchases, guaranteeing TV loans, restricting TV construction, protecting inefficient producers, or burying manufacturers under layers of bureaucracy.
Companies are largely free to compete, innovate, automate, and drive costs down while improving quality.
The industries with the worst affordability crises tend to be the ones where government intervention is the heaviest. Not a coincidence.
Is there anything that cLiEmAtE cHaNgE can’t do?
BBC News claims that climate change is causing an “unprecedented” slowing of Earth’s rotation.
🔗 https://t.co/cmsTwC8hhv
They cite a new study published in the journal JGR Solid Earth which claims that water from melting landlocked ice in ice sheets (e.g., Greenland and Antarctica) and glaciers spreads toward the equator, which shifts mass away from the poles and slows the Earth’s rate of rotation.
🔗 https://t.co/X98SMN1M7F
Sounds pretty bad, right?
Well, it’s only by 1.33 milliseconds per century (and the article mentions that if you read beyond the headline), but Earth’s rotation speed has never been constant. In fact, it has steadily been gradually slowing for over 4 billion years because of frictional effects between the Earth and moon.
What’s more, interannual variability (e.g., the El Niño–Southern Oscillation) contributes an additional ±0.3–0.5 milliseconds.
🔗 https://t.co/pXa2W1rSVa
For the planet’s rotation to slow by one whole second, it would take more than 75,000 years.
So, this is just noise. It is biologically and technologically insignificant on time scales relevant to us.
Whenever I spend 1 minute looking into the facts, the truth always turns out to be totally different than what anti-Israel obsessives imply.
The headline is painting a narrative that Israel has perhaps intentionally sabotaged Trump's negotiations by attacking Iran.
Israel—boo! They're controlling us!
But I found it odd that the headline didn't say Israel attacked Iran, but merely began a "fresh bombing campaign." Smells like potential narrative manipulation by omission.
Turns out that my intuition was correct. Israel did not bomb Iran, they bombed Hezbollah in Lebanon. And they did it because Hezbollah launched dozens of rockets and drones at Israel on May 30-31. So it makes total sense why Israel began a "fresh bombing campaign."
In other words, the Daily Mail manipulated a story about Israel responding to attacks by Iran's terror proxy into a headline designed to make people believe Israel purposefully decided to sabotage Trump’s diplomacy with Iran by attacking them unprovoked.
It's a perfect example of how a headline can be factually correct in a very narrow sense by omitting context to serve as reality-inverting propaganda.
"Oh," you fell for a psyop that takes 1 minute to debunk?
Congratulations.
The only thing that stops violent men from raping you and your society are other men who are equally willing to be violent in stopping the rapists. The West has decided that the highest virtue is to quietly comply with the destruction of your civilization because to do otherwise is bigoted toward the rapists. It really is that simple.
There is something darkly amusing about the fact that selling victimhood to the most privileged people in history has become such a lucrative and big business.
When I was on tour with @jordanbpeterson he talked about many things, but probably the most common recurring theme was the "Spirit of Cain". It seems our ancient and sacred texts tell these stories for a reason: victimhood is easy, seductive and addictive. And now profitable too.
We are living through a perpetual victimhood escalation battle where people (and groups) now compete not on merit, but on the supposed disadvantages they face. Which makes perfect sense since this is the incentive structure our societies have been encouraged and forced to adopt.
The "unmarked graves" at Kamloops Indian Residential School were found at a depth of 3 feet, running in an east-west direction.
They just so happened to be found in a field with a septic system buried at 3 feet, and running in an east-west direction.

The common objection to JK Rowling’s scientifically accurate definition is “you’re reducing females to their biology”
These purposefully obtuse chucklenuggets never apply this fallacious logic to other definitions.
We don’t hear them objecting to the definition of human by saying “don’t reduce me to my species” or to the definition of adult by saying “don’t reduce me to my age.”
Although more and more of these delusional people love objecting to their age and species as meaningful categories.
Either way, defining a category does not imply rejection of all other aspects of the person.
