This is my anti-postmodernism / anti-woke / politics / culture war account, as I want to minimize these topics in my daily life.

Recently, I had an idea to help organize my research/writing process. A timeline of events pertinent to these issues. I began it recently, but it will now migrate to a public-link Google Doc that I will edit in real-time:

Sartre and the violence of Marxism.

[Yuri Bezmenov's Ghost @Ne_pas_couvrir]

When you read Fanon, Sartre, Lenin, etc, the violence of leftist praxis is not hidden. For ex., take Sartre: "For in the first days of the revolt you must kill: to shoot down a European is to kill two birds with one stone, to destroy an oppressor and the man he oppresses at the same time: there remain a dead man, and a free man; the survivor, for the first time, feels a national soil under his foot."
For Fanon, decolonization is very clearly a violent phenomenon.

@Howlingmutant0 I hate wokeness and I'm not a fan of Bowen but I just hear almost the opposite of what you heard, listening to him here. He sounds humble and grateful.

The left's doomsday.

[Colin Wright @SwipeWright]

The left loves to mock right-wing religious doomsday preachers for confidently claiming to know the date of the Rapture, only to be proven wrong again and again, and those who take action based on these predictions.

I agree, it's funny.

But the secular left has built its own doomsday religion. Extinction Rebellion, climate catastrophism, and the "Climate Clock" are no less absurd. They all warn of a looming End Times, a short window for some kind of salvation, and even engage in public rituals of repentance while calling out heretics to be shamed and silenced.

Some of these True Believers are even behaviorally sterilizing themselves because they believe the future is so doomed that their children will only suffer.

This isn't some tiny isolated congregation following a quacky renegade preacher. This is a mainstream political movement.

[Steven Gussman @Sophistructure]

Genuinely deranged world view on the left. Far more to do with anti-science than with science.

[Robby Soave @robbysoave]

I have never once in my life encountered someone expressing this sentiment. Either I live in quite a bubble, or Ezra Klein does.

Female leftist physiognomy is wild 😂

Bari absolutely taking over left-wing media is crazy 😂 Maybe she wants the rush of firing Pelley again 🤣

CBS News boss Bari Weiss poised to oversee CNN editorial operations: report https://t.co/9TOb1jnX68

"Men aren’t to blame for the pain and discomfort of childbearing, menstruation, menopause and breast-feeding—in fact, these experiences are better now than they once were thanks primarily to male doctors and scientists." https://t.co/C1dtBr3DfB

[Madeline Grant @Madz_Grant]

I just love the idea that after presumably coming out to her community, doing IVF and raising two children with her non-Muslim, tattooed, lesbian life-partner, the woman in question remains committed to full Islamic modesty dress

[Rob Henderson @robkhenderson]

"immigrants do not suddenly become more trusting when they arrive in high-trust societies...the relative trust deficit may even persist intergenerationally. Furthermore, the presence of immigrants may erode social capital within the receiving society" https://t.co/ty1scHyKco

[Steven Gussman @Sophistructure]

Bari Weiss isn't even conservative. Can you imagine if an actual conservative was put in charge of ONE network new channel? The temper tantrums would never end.

[Steven Gussman @Sophistructure]

Pelley is the worst. Anyone at CBS would have seen ENDLESS extraordinary left-wing bias. No one said a word.

Now he claims the opposite and lies. The footage does show a woman driving at and even hitting an ice officer with her SUV. It's on video at multiple angles.

[Steven Gussman @Sophistructure]

I've noticed this as well, re. sex differences!

[Rob Henderson @robkhenderson]

"sex differences in our species are real but relatively modest. This gives us elbow room to exaggerate the differences or minimize them, depending on personal taste. Both errors are the root of many evils" https://t.co/CqS3r2MbRl

Based Elba

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Idris Elba says James Bond doesn’t need to be “woke”

“Bond is big all over the world. And audiences won’t [all] go for a Black male, an African male, playing Bond. That’s not what they like in their culture. Period…

Bond is so unrealistic, so a hint of reality is good, but let’s not try and make it woke. I think you’ve got to be pure to what it is: escapism. Don’t try and answer the world’s taste. Just be Bond.”

Before covid and the mail-in ballot hysterica (I'll remind you that in 2026, Pratt v. Raman does not take place during a pandemic emergency), Hillary (who lost the electoral college) only won the popular vote with 1.05x the votes (in other words, 5% more). That's all it takes.

[Steven Gussman @Sophistructure]

Look, I largely took 2020 on the chin. But the fact that in 2026, the more conservative candidate who won as of election night, is having that win reversed via *days* of counting mail-in ballots is unacceptable and suspicious as hell. Fix this or be accused of cheating. Obviously

[Steven Gussman @Sophistructure]

... household (and their household holds different views than they do), then Biden would have had 3x the votes he deserved. Half that to account for half the household agreeing on politics: 1.5x. Reduce it further for Republicans cheating the same way. But here's the thing:..

[Steven Gussman @Sophistructure]

Wait, in the new Fable, the villain is conventionally attractive whereas the hero is infamously ugly? 😂

[Culture Crave 🍿 @CultureCrave]

Hayley Atwell will play the villain Isabel in the new 'Fable' game ⚔️
