WHY JEW-HATRED GETS SUCH A RISE OUT OF ME
— I don’t think Jews matter more. I think Jew-hatred tells us more. —
Why does Jew-hatred get such a rise out of me?
Not because I’m Jewish. I’m not. I’ve never been to Israel. I have no special attachment to it. I know embarrassingly little about Jewish religion or culture. I respect the Jews I’ve known. A tiny people punched absurdly above their weight in science, medicine, mathematics, philosophy, the arts, and the West. None of that is why this hatred sets me off.
I have always had a violent reaction to irrational hatred and scapegoating, whoever is on the receiving end.
A lot of my followers first found me because I spent years during Covid fighting a totalitarian turn. The world split into clean and unclean. The unclean could be fired, silenced, barred from restaurants and universities, locked out of travel, and cut off from ordinary life. Some were denied medical care, including organ transplants. Billions were pressured or forced into a medical intervention. It arrived wrapped in righteousness. The people doing the excluding were the good guys.
I have also pushed back against hatred of ordinary Muslims, including when that wasn’t popular with my own audience. Radical Islamism deserves contempt. Hamas, ISIS, the Taliban, and the Islamic Republic are monstrous. A Muslim accountant in Michigan is not responsible for any of them. Collapsing a huge, mixed population into its worst members is exactly the stupidity I’m talking about.
I don’t have a special rule for Jews. I have a problem with mobs.
Part of this comes from being a scientist. I study inference, perception, and complex systems — the things human intuition is spectacularly bad at. We want one cause, one villain, one story. Once enough people believe it, the crowd itself starts to feel like evidence. They can’t all be wrong. Yes they fucking can. Crowds don’t just err. They stampede. And the people getting trampled are always said to have had it coming. If my training helps me see a stampede forming, I feel some duty to yell.
Which brings us back to the Jews.
There are roughly two billion Muslims and about 15 or 16 million Jews. If hatred were distributed evenly, I should be a hundred times more exercised about anti-Muslim hatred. All else equal, sure. All else is not equal. Jews are 0.2 percent of humanity, and this microscopic population keeps getting installed at the center of gigantic theories about what’s wrong with civilization. The banks. The media. Hollywood. Academia. Capitalism. Communism. Wars. American foreign policy. Cultural decay. Whatever the disease is this week, someone eventually finds the Jew behind it.
The old line about Jews as the canary in the coal mine is apt. The point is not that the canary matters more than the miners. The point is that what happens to the canary tells you about the mine. If you are blaming 0.2 percent of the species for half the world’s problems, that tells us far more about your mind than it does about the Jews.
Before the blood from October 7 was dry, people were already screaming “gEnOciDe!!” — on October 8. Then came the claims that Israel massacred its own people, wanted October 7, allowed October 7. The evidence did not produce the hatred. The hatred was already there, hunting for evidence.

Something big is coming to Iran, and it’s coming very soon. I wholeheartedly believe that. I do not see the Islamic regime surviving. They are on their last straw. The evil must be defeated. It’s biblical. And it’s coming.
Do you want to know the true face of the Islamic regime in Iran? Watch how these IRGC thugs beat, humiliate, and sexually abuse an Iranian boy no older than 15.
The exact same death cult violent jihadist ideology that Hamas has.
The Islamic regime must be destroyed — completely.
This is a mass regime led marriage ceremony inside Iran today.
Nobody is Iranian.
They are all Afghans.
Iran's birthrates are some of the lowest on Earth, while Afghanistan has some of the highest. The islamic regime's aim is to replace native secular Iranians with foreign fanatical shia muslims.
The Great Replacement isn't just happening in the West.
This article skews the facts to portray the standout juror as misfit or a bad actor.
Facts: Reasonable doubt does not mean any doubt. The article cites one of the other jurors bent on acquitting saying that he admitted there was reasonable doubt.
Mass. uses the ALI/Model Penal Code formulation. Judge Sullivan's instruction tracked it: a defendant is not criminally responsible if she has a mental disease or defect and, as a result, lacks the substantial capacity either to appreciate the criminality or wrongfulness of her conduct …
How unreasonable was this juror when the American Psychiatric Assoc itself doesn’t recognize her condition as a disorder?
The DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) is psychiatry's catalog of disorders. Postpartum psychosis doesn't have its own entry in it. Instead it's treated as a tag you attach to some other listed disorder — "this depressive episode, but with childbirth-related onset."
That tag has a deadline: four weeks after delivery. Clancy's youngest was eight months old. So her “condition” does not even qualify.
“Postpartum psychosis” - which is not even recognized as a stand-alone disorder would not even fit the definition.
As an FYI, the majority rule for insanity recognized by most states is M’Naughten, which is far stricter (whether the defendant knows the difference between right and wrong), and it’s even less likely strangling three of her children to death would have qualified under that rule.
One of these days I’ll go to bed early and hopefully wake up to news that the IRGC has been totally eliminated.
I don’t know when that will be. But hopefully sooner rather than later.
No more deals with terrorists.
🇮🇷 BREAKING: Ground clashes between armed Iranians and IRGC forces in the city of Zahedan
IRGC has suffered multiple losses. More on Tousi TV tomorrow.
Four years ago, the Islamic Republic murdered Mahsa Amini. It thought her death would terrorise a nation into silence. Instead, Iran rose.
Mahsa became a symbol of something greater: a nation rediscovering its shared strength.
Woman, Life, Freedom was a defining chapter in a struggle built through years of courage and sacrifice. Today, that struggle flows into the Lion and Sun Revolution, bringing Iranians of different generations, backgrounds and political traditions together around a common national purpose: Iran first, freedom for all, and the reclaiming of our country.
We remember Mahsa not only with grief, but with unity and determination. The regime has tried for decades to divide us. Our answer is to stand together.
For Mahsa. For all those we have lost. For Iran.

Amnesty International’s new landmark 1000+page report exposes how the Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity to crush the 2022 Woman Life Freedom uprising and identifies 87 officials who should be criminally investigated.
Amnesty International is calling for urgent international criminal justice to end impunity for repeated mass protest killings in Iran.
چهار سال از روزی میگذرد که جلادان ضحاک، جان دختر ایران، مهسا امینی، را گرفتند. جمهوری اسلامی گمان میکرد میتواند خون مهسا را نیز مانند خون بسیاری دیگر پایمال کند، اما یک ایران برای او به پا خاست.
ضحاک، برای آنکه نشان دهد مهسا را به قتل نرسانده است، قلب جوانان دیگری را نیز نشانه گرفت، از نیکا و سارینا تا کیان و خدانور، از حمیدرضا و مجیدرضا تا صدها فرزند دیگر ایران.
چهار سال بعد، ملت ایران در مرحلهای دیگر از همان مبارزه ایستاده است. مسیری که از خیزشهای پیشین گذشت، امروز به انقلاب شکوهمند شیر و خورشید رسیده است، جایی که مبارزات ملت ایران، با همه تجربهها و هزینههایی که پشت سر گذاشته، در یک هدف ملی به هم پیوند خورده است: بازپسگیری ایران از رژیم تبهکاری که نزدیک به نیم قرن است میهنمان را به گروگان گرفته است.
این همبستگی ملی یکشبه به دست نیامده است. پشت آن، راهی طولانی، دشوار و پرهزینه قرار دارد، راهی که ملت ایران از گردهمایی پرشکوه روز کوروش در آبان ۱۳۹۵ آغاز کرد و در دی ۱۳۹۶، آبان ۱۳۹۸ و خیزشهای ۱۴۰۱ و ۱۴۰۴ به آن تجربه و بلوغ بیشتری بخشید، خیزشهایی که هر یک بخشی از ستونهای انقلاب ملی ایران را شکل دادهاند.
هر جان فداشده، مسئولیتی بر دوش ما گذاشت؛ و هر فراز و فرود، ملت ایران را برای گام بعدی آمادهتر کرد. تا امروز که ایرانیان، یکصدا و زیر پرچم ملی خود، برای بازپسگیری ایران ایستادهاند.
یاد مهسا امینی و همه زنان و مردان شجاعی که جان خود را در راه آزادی ایران فدا کردند، برای همیشه در حافظه ملت ایران جاودانه خواهد ماند.
ما راه آنان را تا آزادی و بازپسگیری ایران ادامه خواهیم داد.
پاینده ایران

The United States has deployed weapons in space and will use them to defend American forces, Air Force Secretary Troy Meink said – the first public acknowledgment of such capabilities in orbit and a deliberate signal to those that pose potential threats in the domain. Meink did not provide specifics on the weapons and, when asked to expand, refused to provide additional details. https://t.co/kTvMDq614N
MIT published a brutally honest report on what AI is doing to students.
A committee of professors and students spent five months studying how AI changed learning on campus, and the findings read like a warning to every university on the planet.
Study groups are disappearing. Office hours are emptying out. Problem sets and take-home exams no longer prove anything, because AI can produce credible solutions to almost any written assignment in the undergraduate curriculum. Students who lean on chatbots lose mastery and confidence, and some slip into what the report calls cognitive surrender, reaching for AI at the first hint of struggle.
The numbers are rough. 46 percent of surveyed MIT undergrads use LLMs daily. 90 percent worry about their own overreliance. Undergrads who feel AI makes them replaceable now outnumber those who feel it makes them capable.
The committee's answer surprised me. They refused to fight AI with surveillance. The report calls AI detectors unreliable, says lockdown browsers feel like spying, and warns that policing students builds a classroom atmosphere of mutual distrust.
Instead, MIT wants to rebuild education around the things AI can't replace. That means oral exams, semester portfolios, in-person project work, and a required social component in every subject. The report even floats the idea of rethinking grades entirely, since without a GPA to optimize, much of the incentive to cheat with AI evaporates.
The committee warns professors against replacing undergrad research assistants with AI agents just because they're cheaper, because a university exists to grow people, not output.
The most famous tech school on earth admitted the machines broke its way of teaching. Its answer is more humans, not more software.
@BenjaminPDixon@CarnegieMellon Yea, “pastor,” let’s pretend you’re not defending her because she’s black. And that you wouldn’t be inflamed if a white male said the reverse. Hopefully, you’re not one of the heterosexuals she attacks in her racist male hating tweets.
@RileyRalmuto Yes, of course life came to earth as mushrooms, and that’s your idea of the greatest, most profound monologue, and the algo made me listen to this nonsense 🗑️🤮
