Everybody has a right to their opinion but not every opinion is right.

@BillyB978616 @Microinteracti1 You are literally lying.

[Andreas Hämäläinen @Hamalisk]

@scappaticc54191 @Microinteracti1 Ukraine just sank a Russian ship in St Petersburg. Every tank, plane and ship that's sunk is one less Russia can use to threaten the USA with.

This war makes future war less likely.

@stakmaskin Det är inte storleken som räknas... har jag hört.

DOGE was the lowest IQ form of fiscal conservatism.

It’s like they cut the most cost effective stuff because that was the easiest. No thought to anything.

This is why I always rail against Low Human Capital.

They made Elon Musk into a retard. And we didn’t even cut spending.

[Andreas Hämäläinen @Hamalisk]

@DeaconSpade6 @Microinteracti1 Your argument is retarded. With that logic Guam shouldn't be American or the Falklands shouldn't be British.

Greenlanders want to remain a part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Your opinion on it literally don't matter.

[Andreas Hämäläinen @Hamalisk]

@DerekJMiller2 @Microinteracti1 Protect it from what? Only the yellow snowman is threatening Greenland.

Kläggvänstern är jättearg på att deras ekokammare får en enda avvikande röst. De vill verkligen inte att det ska finnas förespråkare som har invandrarbakgrund och är höger i TV.

Education policy is one very clear difference between liberalism and progressivism.

Liberalism seeks to educate people more.

Progressivism seeks to educate people LESS, so that everyone is equal in ignorance. (This doesn't work)

Another woman's job is being threatened over her gender critical views. This time, Agnes Wold in Sweden.

Agnes Wold is a much-loved public intellectual in Sweden who is known for her feminism, her level-headed response to the COVID lockdown hysteria (she’s a bacteriologist), and, more recently, for refusing to go along with the transgender dogma that has gripped Swedish bureaucratic, activist, media and political elites.

On 20 May, the Swedish parliament approved an amendment to the law that criminalises “psychological violence” and “coercion” relating to “gender identity or gender expression (such as conversion practices)”, among other things. It is widely understood to be Sweden’s version of a conversion therapy ban (a more explicit law is likely if the left coalition gets into power in September).

Speaking on a radio programme about the law, Wold told the host that she would take 4 years in prison— the penalty for trying to prevent someone from leaning into their opposite-sex, delusion — before she would allow the gender transition of a grandchild (hard agree).

This comment set off major drama, with one famous gay media guy calling her the Swedish equivalent to “old hag” or “old crone”. Specifically, he said “get rid of the old hag. It is unethical of Sveriges Radio to give her access to a microphone,” which is a way of saying she should be fired from her public radio job.

Many, many people have called for Agnes Wold to be fired throughout the trans-mania era, and a lot of them seemed to be hoping that this comment would be the final nail in her coffin. But the remarks seem to have the opposite effect. Not only did Swedish people get very offended by this little shithead calling their beloved based radio-granny an old hag, they started to ask questions about the law that she was criticising.

And that, boys and girls, is how the omerta on the trans mass derangement got partially lifted in Sweden, and suddenly everyone started to ask: wait, what? Some kids think they’re in the wrong body and you can go to jail for telling them to snap out of it? Yes, dear Swedes, that’s what’s happening. Welcome to the conversation. We’ve been expecting you.

As of writing, Wold still has not yet been fired.

@RichardHanania I think the difference is that:
1: Leftists believe we should have blind belief in institutions and
2: Rightists believe trust should be earned and that institutions don't do enough to earn it.

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

Republicans think practically every profession except cops is less trustworthy and ethical than Democrats do.

They keep talking about “low trust cultures.”

Once again, rightists need to develop some self-awareness.

@BarrioElfva Det jag tror är en valvinnare är verklig konservatism, dvs marknadskritik utan socialism. Socialism är inte något bra svar på marknadens excesser. Påven beskriver denna dynamik bra i sin encyklika.

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

He wanted to look tough. He posted a painting of himself surrounded by oiled-up shirtless men in tiny shorts waving pompoms. Safe to say this did not land quite the way he intended.

We Are Living in the Dumbest Timeline

Donald Trump just posted a photo of a wind turbine next to birds and captioned it “Killing birds by the millions!”

He posted this without irony.

For every single bird killed by a wind turbine, nuclear and fossil fuel plants kill 2,118 birds. Coal alone kills roughly 7.9 million birds a year in the United States. Wind turbines? Between 140,000 and 328,000. That is not a defence of wind turbines.

We are living in genuinely, historically stupid times. Only rivalled, frankly, by the medieval peasants who blamed the Black Death on cats and promptly killed all the cats, which meant the rats multiplied, which meant more plague.

At least the peasants had the excuse of having no access to information whatsoever.

Trump has the internet. He chose this.

But people INSISTED this was just about Israel’s policies….

[Andreas Hämäläinen @Hamalisk]

If a minority of the population continues behaving as animals eventually they will be treated as such.

They are playing with fire.

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

The reason they're turning you against Israel is so they can get to this position here while you look, point, and yell the wrong way.

[Andreas Hämäläinen @Hamalisk]

@kristerb @FredrikHjelm4 E-scooter users need to stop being morons first. I don't exaggerate when I say that 80% of them break the traffic laws in Stockholm. Only if they behave civilized can we tolerate more of them on the streets.

I've seen them break the law 5 meters from the police with no action.

“Israel is a garbage country that’s only loved by garbage people”

Inspiring prose from the Free Palestine movement.

When you resort to nasty name calling, it’s pretty clear that hate, not justice, is the motivation behind your cause.

[Andreas Hämäläinen @Hamalisk]

@Noahpinion It's too bad American politics is so chauvinistic. There's a lot to learn from other Western countries, such as how to make healthcare more efficient and elections more reliable.
