@MrsEthanBrooks My mom would send us to the bathroom first to prepare and then to our bedroom to play or nap. The rule was you had to be quiet and you couldn’t come out until it was time.
According to the 75-page manifesto tied to the San Diego Islamic Center attack, here are the facts about the shooters based on their own words:
They hated Jews.
They also hated Islam.
They were not trans, they were incels.
They hated women.
Their hatred for women was only surpassed by their hatred for Jews.
They hated Black people.
They hated all immigrants.
They hated gay and trans people.
They were not MAGA. They did not like Trump, and they did not identify with the right.
They openly encouraged the left to take out Trump and JD Vance.
How did we reach such an insane level of radicalization that literal kids are carrying out attacks and then taking their own lives afterward?
Take this extremely seriously
A woman from Cuba is asked “What would you say to all the Democratic socialists that think that socialism is the answer?”
Her answer should be a wake up call to every American
“I think you need to wake up and realize what's really going to happen when you have no food, no medical, nothing, because they take it all away from you. Oh, and by the way, you happy little darlings, your children don't belong to you either. They'll belong to the government”
I verified this and it’s 100% true
The Government Systematically Separated Families and Claimed Ownership of Children
Many Cuban parents describe how the regime treated children as property of the state. From the early years of the revolution, the government pushed heavy indoctrination through schools and youth organizations, where children were taught to report on their own parents for “counter-revolutionary” thoughts. Parents who resisted lost custody or faced threats
Tens of thousands of Cubans were imprisoned in harsh labor camps or regular prisons for “crimes” like criticizing the government, practicing religion, or trying to leave. Political prisoners endured beatings, solitary confinement, starvation, lack of medical care, and psychological torture. Firing squads executed thousands
Families of dissidents faced job loss, eviction, and social ostracism
Way back when X first introduced the Articles feature, an article on "agency" was one of my first efforts, which received almost no visibility.
I have dusted that off, edited it some, and here it is again now that Articles seem to be working.
The Right believes we should have agency over our own lives and receive the rewards or suffer the logical consequences of our own decisions.
The Left believes we are not smart enough to exercise agency and they believe an all-powerful government must step in to make sure no one receives too many rewards or suffers too many logical consequences.
My article below explains in more detail.
🧵THE UNIPARTY UNMASKED – They Believe They Are “Democracy”
The seven NGOs in the chart below, in my view, represent the Uniparty. Each of these organizations receives substantial financial support from USAID or the Department of State.
Around 2019, the phrase “democracy in danger” began to dominate public discourse, amplified by the media. This was odd—after all, the U.S. is a democracy (or more precisely, a constitutional republic). But as I traced the influence of these NGOs, a pattern emerged: they are controlled by establishment politicians, they play a major role in shaping political narratives worldwide, and their core mission is always framed as “protecting democracy.”
Originally, these NGOs were created to support U.S. democratic efforts abroad—many of them emerging during the Cold War to combat the spread of communism. But with the fall of the Soviet Union, their original purpose faded. Instead of dissolving, they redefined their mission. Now, they have positioned themselves as the guardians of democracy itself.
This shift explains why Trump’s re-election was framed as a "threat to democracy." To these NGOs, “democracy” means themselves. Their survival depends on maintaining that role, and any challenge to their authority is perceived as a direct attack on democracy itself.
