@PrinceVogel is it just me, or does 3) have an incredibly strong correlation with believing in the sovereignty of Ukraine?

[Ceb K. @CEBKCEBKCEBK]

None of the charges against Epstein or Maxwell were about trafficking victims to other people, yet everyone assumes some shadowy cabal was involved. Yet the UK rape gangs very flagrantly control eg the local govts Blair set up, & everyone skips that to hate the thugs & enablers…

@BlakeSNeff @Peter_Nimitz you need to fight fire with fire. she's openly owned by the ruskies, and now that they're losing in ukraine more shenanigans are coming to light. most foreign influence ops are just national PR but the FSB aims to make western politics dumber so that russians don't westernize.

In America when leftists pushed for abolishing the police, they said to replace them with social workers.

That has already happened in Britain.

Something I’ve learned from this site is just how far respect can get you

You can be talking to someone from a totally different national, cultural, ideological, or religious background, but if you respect them they will usually respect you.

And from that point, you can often make surprising headway on issues you thought intractable.

Aleksandar Lekso Saičić. Montenegrin who volunteered to fight for Russia during the Russo-Japanese War. Challenges a Japanese soldier to a katana duel. Wins & is rewarded a grant of 40 gold Napoleons/yr by the Tsar. Returns home. Does nothing ever again. Declared a national hero.

Is not ghey if you kiss self in mirror...some say this is narcissism. Is not incel...is way of volcel in America where, after many efforts at looksmaxing you sometimes realize no one else is worthy

@Noahpinion @fattailedstat ukrainian mercenaries will be the new supreme tech for settling power vacuums within russia, every faction will need some and they will help set terms. I think russia gets carved up.

[ahedaonia @ahedaonia]

@RealDianeYap you're right but war raises the status of the men who win and results in more female subservience along several axes at once, are you sure that's what you want? I feel like you should look into engineering a mass-feminization virus instead.

[ahedaonia @ahedaonia]

@eigenrobot the two cases aren't comparable, the other one is about the normalization of random beatings for being in the wrong neighborhood. to which I say, let them have their order and let us have ours. restoring free association makes more sense than trying to dam up natural instincts.

In all my years on the internet, I've never seen such a colossal explosion of hallucinatory bullshit as there was in February 2026.

Millions upon millions of viral posts, garnering millions upon millions of shares and views, across virtually every major social media platform, spewing a 24/7 geyser of utterly fake bullshit. And because the manic slopaganda algorithm effectively programs all the top podcasts now, this pulsating stream of unvarnished bullshit traveled straight to the top of the online media foodchain at warp speed.

Of course, there had been significant explosions of fake bullshit plenty of times before on the internet, but what made February 2026 distinct was that it all went virtually unchallenged and uncorrected... by anyone.

When there are bullshit-explosions tied to a presidential election, or a mass casualty event, or whatever, typically there are factions of interested observers who will eventually have some incentive, partisan or otherwise, to refute the bullshit. But with the mass dump of "Epstein Files" earlier this year, that never really happened -- because if you refuted the bullshit, not only would your followers revolt, you'd be instantly slimed as a "pedo." And who wants that?

So instead what we got, for example, were hordes of bullshit slop accounts -- in basically unchallenged unison -- peddling the 100% bullshit claim that Epstein mysteriously "won the lottery" in 2008. Which is just completely made up. Never happened. The claim was based on a single 2009 email in the "Epstein Files," from a bonkers "anti-trafficking" activist/journalist named Conchita Sarnoff (look her up) who was emailing idiotic rumors to the FBI.

But because the bullshit 2009 email from a bullshit journalist appears in the "Epstein Files," and therefore looks Super Official, legions of idiots took it to reflect some conclusively corroborated truth -- and then immediately blasted it out online to the pedo-crazed masses, who were already primed to believe any Epstein-related garbage.

If you knew anything about the Epstein Case beyond an algorithmically-curated Low IQ caricature, you'd have known the "lottery" claim was complete bullshit, but that might've taken approximately 10 minutes of actual research to verify: https://t.co/gOR1Zwsppw

The kicker: even now, months later, notably prolific bullshit accounts such as "Village Crazy Lady" continue to shamelessly capitalize on the February 2026 heyday of absolute bullshit: https://t.co/33OtW0tm2X

One thing I have learned over the last 5 years is how many of the more left-leaning people I know IRL genuinely do not grasp what a global outlier blue US cities are when it comes to tolerating this type of stuff.

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

I think we have an answer to why the Iran war hasn’t been that bad for the US economically.

Trump suspended the Jones Act!

Hormuz is closed, but we stopped blockading ourselves.

Crazy this law still exists.

[ahedaonia @ahedaonia]

@Noahpinion he didn't spearhead that initiative but he approved of it.

[max tempers @maxtempers]

To avoid long-drawn-out legal battles and preemptive claims, the reforms were drawn up in secret and passed under urgency within 24 hours. Requirements for a public consultation and impact assessment were skipped. Royal assent was given before protests could even materialise.

@RichardHanania I think pathological maleness would be less of a problem if healthy maleness were more embraced, feminist discomfort with the concept being part of the reason why it's not.

[ahedaonia @ahedaonia]

@RichardHanania "Why is capital taxed at half the rate of labor?" = he wants to run for POTUS

NYT profile of the GOP women who want to bring MeToo witch hunts to the right.

Notice that these are some of the dumbest, most mentally ill members of Congress. Luna, Boebert, Mace.

Note that as the GOP becomes a clown party, it actually ends up moving them left, because they're too dumb to put up any ideological resistance to wokeness.
