Trying to make sense of a crazy world. I've found books help with that. Primary sources most of all. Also inordinately found of swords

@WallStreetMav Who would have thought letting in a huge number of people from a nation most known for being pirates would be a problem?

@reddit_lies Also, the rights of everyone person change when they go between states. Try and grab a bottle of wine when you are shopping on Sunday in Utah or cary a gun in California.

@The_Kyle_Mann But I can still like the Vader hallway scene right? Right?!?!

[LookingTowardsTheWest @Ryan_Driggs]

@libsoftiktok I'm kind of happy about this. It feels more like normal personal corruption than deep rooted systemic corruption. In 2026 that feels refreshing.

@TerribleMaps That's because it's not a country. It's a congressional district.

@BlackBoneTory I feel like the right position is that we are over regulating, but sometimes over shielding companies from tort liability.

@TheCriticalDri2 This is why you don't skip your adrenochrome

@CartoonsHateHer In some situations the only reasonable response is "yes and..." 🤣

@Aella_Girl It's just weird to see a crazy survey you didn't make

[LookingTowardsTheWest @Ryan_Driggs]

@Timcast I've actually been trying to get that into a class for the last five years

@Fattyslowboy @BretWeinstein I don't see why you consider Soviet civilization the same as Russian civilization. Even using Wikipedia's definition, the larger Soviet civilization occupied the population centers of the broken Russian civilization.

[LookingTowardsTheWest @Ryan_Driggs]

@Fattyslowboy @BretWeinstein I can see the argument about Germany. But why do you consider the civilization in Russia the same in 1900 and 1940?

[LookingTowardsTheWest @Ryan_Driggs]

@LeonOReilly8 @SKNAX81 @BretWeinstein How do you make that distinction? Is it that once enough time passes a civilization is over? Or is civilizational continuity something you can look at and see?

[LookingTowardsTheWest @Ryan_Driggs]

@SKNAX81 @LeonOReilly8 @BretWeinstein Interesting. How about the Roman civilization that existed in 1 AD?

[LookingTowardsTheWest @Ryan_Driggs]

@LeonOReilly8 @BretWeinstein Is your contention that the civilization in Germany in 1940 didn't end in 1945? Do you believe it still exists?

[LookingTowardsTheWest @Ryan_Driggs]

@BretWeinstein It seems like this kind of advice is perpetuating an incentive structure where civilians are used as human shields and liberal democracies have no choice but to surrender to every country willing to let its own people die

[LookingTowardsTheWest @Ryan_Driggs]

@Aella_Girl Did you lose a bet? 🤣

@MaajidNawaz @bennyjohnson @mattgaetz Are these literal demons or metaphorical ones?
