We have recently received many requests to suspend or otherwise impact accounts on the left.
However, 𝕏 is a free speech platform that aspires to give equal voice to all, within the bounds of the law.
That is what we will do.
Here’s the official story so far: a random 20 year old acting completely alone walked within 150 yards of a presidential campaign rally with a rifle, climbed onto a rooftop in full view of Secret Service snipers, set up his shot and fired without anyone intervening and with no help from anyone. This 20 year old is also so politically radical as to attempt an assassination and yet not radical enough to have ever posted any political writings or commentary on any social media site ever in his life. He also wrote no manifesto and left behind no indication about why he did it. His last and only political act, before attempting to kill the Republican candidate, was to register as a Republican. You must believe this and ask no questions about it or else you are a conspiracy theorist. And one thing we know about assassination attempts is that there’s never any conspiring involved.
Big victory in the Kennedy v. Biden censorship case. A live injunction is in place preventing the Biden Administration from coercing or colluding with social media to censor me. You’d think that a President who has sworn to protect the Constitution wouldn’t need a court injunction to respect free speech. But such are the times we live in.
Hey @VanityFair, you know when your veterinary experts call a goat a dog, and your forensic experts say a photo taken in Patagonia was taken in Korea, that you’ve joined the ranks of supermarket tabloids. Keep telling America that up is down if you want. I’ll keep talking about the fact that working families can’t afford houses or groceries because our last two presidents went on a $14 trillion debt joyride, paid for by hard-working Americans.
The DNC media’s garbage pail journalism may distract us from President Biden’s cognitive deficits but it does little to elevate the national debate or reduce the price of groceries.
I've yet to hear a compelling argument rooted in reality as to why I should not be supporting @RobertKennedyJr.
"He can't win" is what I hear the most... which is not a valid argument, given we are 4 1/2 months out from the election, and he'd only have to get to the high 30s to win.
"He's an extreme leftist" is another claim I hear... when you look at his actual policies, that could not be further from the truth. Is he to the left of me on some issues? Absolutely. But on the important ones, he's right in line with everything I've been talking about on my show for years.
What other arguments are you hearing or (if you're not a Kennedy supporter) are you making to justify not voting for him? I'm truly curious to see if someone can provide a compelling argument.
Take 3 minutes and watch this.
RFK Jr’s closing remarks from the Trump/Biden debate:
“There was a poll taken that asked young people under 35 in this country, are you proud of the United States? 85% said yes. The same poll taken five months ago, 18% said yes. So somehow, during the administration of these two presidents, an entire generation of Americans has lost pride in our country, hope in their own futures.
They feel that way because they see what's happening. They can't get into a home, first generation in history in America, that is gonna live worse lives than their parents.
They see the vitriol that you saw here, the division, the polarization that makes them disgusted with politics. They're seeing the corrupt merger of state and corporate power that has transformed our agencies from the CIA, the health agencies, the environmental agencies into sock puppets. The industries they're supposed to regulate.
They're seeing the destruction of our soils, the destruction of our air and water. They're watching this happen and the politicians do nothing about it except for hate on each other. If you want more of the same, you should vote for President Biden, President Trump, you know what's gonna happen.
They're gonna give you four more years of the same stuff. If you want things to completely change, you're gonna support me because I'm gonna change everything.
This is a moral fight. This is a moral battle for the soul of our nation. To restore our moral authority around the world by projecting economic power broad rather than spending $8 trillion on regime change wars that have left every nation we've touched worse off than we found it, and restoring our moral authority here at home.
The first day in office, you heard what they're gonna do.
Here's what I'm gonna do. Day one in office, I'm gonna issue an executive order saying any federal official who tells a lie to the American public will lose his job. I'm gonna stop the surveillance state.
I'm gonna stop the propagandizing by our agencies of the American public. I'm gonna unravel the war machine. I'm gonna unravel the corrupt merger of state and corporate power.
I know how to do it. I've been litigating against these agencies for years, and I'm uniquely suited to do this.
I can tell you, I'm gonna do these things when I get in there. I'm gonna make sure that our Constitution is protected, and AI is deployed to make government more transparent rather than by government to enslave the rest of us.
I'm gonna bring AI home and blockchain home because we need these new industries to grow our way out of the debt crisis. This is something that these two aren't even talking about, but if you want everything to change, you'll support me.
If you wanna vote out of fear, you need to support one of those guys. If you wanna vote out of hope, out of inspiration, out of pride in your country, out of restoring the moral backbone of our people and our nation, you should vote for me. Thank you very much.”
At last, the relevant question.
Here's how it works.
1. Communism is when depraved freaks make it illegal to be normal, and kill all the successful people.
2. Fascism is when normie dullards make it illegal to be weird, and kill all the bright and creative people.
The depraved freaks from #1 think they are the bright and creative people from #2.
They are not.
All those people gyrating half-naked in front of children at pride parades think they are Oscar Wilde, but they aren't.
When societies become highly permissive, the productive weirdos, the ones who simply can't fit in because they are creative in useful ways, become surrounded by, outnumbered by, a horde of cargo-cult imitators.
These people imagine themselves to be creative free spirits, because they compete to be as freaky as possible. They do not understand that freaky behavior
is not creative talent... it is only a side effect of creative talent.
Often these people are defective and useless, which is why they seek to use freakiness to camouflage themselves as creative, hoping to hide their uselessness.
This progresses until normies get disgusted with them, and start thinking fascism might be a good idea.
Then they kill everyone. This wipes out all the depraved freaks from #1, but it also wipes out Oscar Wilde, Alan Turing, Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso, etc, as described in #2.
Because normie dullards can't tell the difference, especially when their blood is up.
I understand why a lot of the right is educating itself about Wiemar Germany and re-examining fascism as a response to those conditions.
The impulse makes sense. Disgust is an entirely appropriate emotional response right now.
But they don't understand that even if it has rational origins, fascism, like communism, is a process that spirals out of control.
Fascism isn't just an expression of disgust. It is an ever-increasing hypersensitivity to disgust, created by a social and cultural echo chamber. Once it eliminates the original objects of disgust, it moves on to find more mildly disgusting things to target.
Eventually, any deviation from the norm, however trivial and harmless, becomes an object of disgust to be eradicated.
It begins with getting rid of Harvey Weinstein... but it progresses to getting rid of Richard Feynman and Elon Musk.
That sentence may sound strange to you. Feynman? Musk? Really?
But remember that the Gay Race Communism that now become the state religion of the political class progressed the same way. Barack Obama, the 2008 presidential candidate, was against state recognition of homosexual marriages. At the time, that was too much, too far.
Things progressed.
Slopes really are slippery. It isn't a fallacy at all. The whole reason we characterize things as slopes is that a slope is a thing people tend to fall down. We notice things lead to other things, because the Overton window shifts, and we correctly characterize certain metaphorical terrain as a "slope".
And just as the political class, Hollywood, and their pet idiots in NYC and LA spiraled into Gay Race Communism, the Middle American normal person backlash carries the risk of spiraling the opposite way.
Remember that fascist societies aren't actually perfectly healthy cultures that suddenly, for no reason at all, get destroyed by their neighbors. What they do is they attack everyone they can see, once their disgust threshold becomes so low that every other type of society appears to them as nothing but a plague vector that must be wiped out.
So their neighbors are forced to destroy them in self-defense.
We, as a society, are currently in danger of both communism and fascism.
The risk of communism is that it's what we will get if we do not purge the political class. The risk of fascism is that it's what we will get if that purge spirals out of control.
Everyone reading this already understands that communism is the worst thing in the known universe... because anyone who doesn't understand that has muted/blocked/unfollowed me long ago.
But we also need to understand the dangers of our own response.
If we do not use and focus our disgust, we are doomed to a communist future. But we must make that disgust our servant, not our master.
We are now in bomb shelters because Kyiv is being shelled by the Russians. And from this bomb shelters we ask the West to give us the shelter from the sky. #NoFlyZone, please! #StandWithUkraine
@InfinityWard I must say I haven't been so enticed to play a cod since MW2. Adding the old maps and the updates in general just add to the experience. Update sizes are eye-watering though...
@HeyGuysTwitch Some people just dont want to be on camera. You have a right to record in a public space, but that doesnt mean you dont make the people around you self conscious and uncomfortable.
No patch today (WE KNOW AND WE'RE VERY SORRY 💔), but here's a giveaway to make up for it. We're handing out 10 #SCUMgame keys and all you have to do is RT this and then pray we pick you at random. You have till this time tomorrow!
