The fact that modern society has turned women being nice to men into some kind of collective betrayal of the gender is a disaster of enormous proportions
I don't think anybody really grasps how desperate this situation is.
University professors are now saying they are unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history. College kids are incapable of reading more than a few pages.
Some classes don't assign any reading at all now, only lectures.
There is an assumption among the people managing this decline that reading is just a way of receiving information. It isn't. Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to synthesize ideas and evaluate them.
If the catastrophic decline in reading and literacy is not addressed now, we risk losing everything.
Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that a culture of deep reading brings:
Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well ordered minds to maintain them.
Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history.

Another Berkeley professor told the author:
“In my second-year engineering class, a student asked me to explain why 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6…. The lecture had to stop while I explained fractions.”
This shit is disgusting.
The jury heard the evidence, including from Black witnesses on the defense side, and still convicted Karmelo Anthony of murder. Instead of dealing with that, the reaction decided the real problem was that Austin Metcalf didn’t know how to properly kiss someone’s ass before he got stabbed. That’s the actual argument being made.
A Howard University professor came out and said the father failed to teach his son that Black kids have boundaries and that their space isn’t to be challenged.
In other words, the dead kid should have known his place and backed the fuck down.
That’s the standard they’re defending after a murder conviction. Not self-defense. Not fear for life. Just “he got too close and didn’t show the right kind of respect.”
And when that didn’t fly in court, they lost their fucking minds. Death threats to the family. People talking about shitting on Austin’s grave. Some sick fucks started an “Austin Metcalf challenge” where they mock the way he died. Jasmine Crockett had the balls to say Anthony was justified because he didn’t want to stand in the rain. The rain. That’s where we are now.
They’re not mad that a kid got killed. They’re mad that the killer actually had to face consequences for it.
They’re furious the old rules still worked long enough for a jury to do its job.
This isn’t complicated and it sure as hell isn’t deep. It’s a bunch of people openly arguing that murder is acceptable as long as you can dress it up as some kind of boundary enforcement after the fact. And the second a court said no, they showed exactly who they are.

In 1980 Ronald Reagan convincingly won the presidency against Jimmy Carter, and also tipped the Senate. But the democrats maintained control of the House and Tip O’Neill remained speaker. That meant a lot of people voted for Reagan, but then voted democratic down ballot. They could do this knowing bipartisanship was possible - that the country had a coherent population, and differences were not so wide that people would refuse to work together.
Reagan was able to push his tax reduction plan through Congress. Tip O’Neill basically said ‘this is what the people voted for, so we will work with you.’ That could not happen today.
The US electorate is balkanizing because of too much immigration too fast - which is exploited by unscrupulous politicians. We will probably not see the kind of bipartisanship of the early 1980s again in our lifetimes - if ever. And this is why a 1924 style moratorium on immigration is necessary, coupled with aggressive assimilation policies and deportations of those who don’t really want to be American. And it’s why birthright citizenship is a disaster in present circumstances.
The whole incident shows how rotten British police are. They lied and claimed the man was the victim of dangerous 12-year-old girls. This was taken as fact by all of British media and any disagreement became “misinformation.”
It turns out that what people saw with their own two eyes was the truth. But it took a year, long after the story died, for police to admit it.
The Hill is out with my column on Democrats rallying around Graham Platner. For a party that literally sees Nazis around every tree, the one possible Nazi that they cannot see is the Democrat who had the Nazi tattoo on his chest... https://t.co/HCtNBSpswn
For those who are unaware, I’m the guy that the media crucified in 2022, for reporting on the US-funded biolabs in Ukraine.
Fact-checkers and dozens of MSM outlets, like WaPo, claimed I was an “extremist” and “QAnon figure”, for accurately reporting on these labs, which they said did not exist whatsoever.
In other words, the US government, in conjunction with their lapdogs in the media and social media, coordinated together to censor and smear me, for reporting on completely accurate information. I had my life ruined and spent the last 4+ years living in absolute hell. Meaning my Constitutional Rights have been violated by elements within the US intelligence community.
Attached is a thread I made when Elon let me back on Twitter, with a sample of some of the many defamatory articles written about me. I don’t know how or when, but one day, I will be compensated for the wrong that was done to me.
I will have justice.
Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.
In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

The evidence Tulsi released today proves that Mitt Romney is a neocon shill who should not be trusted in the GOP.
Isn’t it interesting the entire Democrat party (and uniparty shills like Romney) and the media and intel community tried to paint @DNIGabbard as a Russian asset? Meanwhile they were the ones trying to destroy US foreign policy using Russia as a scapegoat. All in the name of power… gross.
Leftist publication The Intercept blamed Donald Trump and his supporters for multiple bomb threats on Jewish institutions in February 2017. It turned out the threats came from one of The Intercept's staff reporters, Juan Thompson. He was convicted and sentenced to 60 months in prison.
