These greedy con artists made America hate itself while they got it on. Gross. What a shoddy scam it all was, the whole era. Good riddance.

[Bret Weinstein @BretWeinstein]

It is criminal that our government enabled a bat virus to infect and spread between humans. Indeed, it is hard to imagine a bigger betrayal of our species.

It is equally troubling that the mad scientists who did this then gaslit all the people of the world about it, including those who CORRECTLY interpreted the evidence.

Then, of course, the very same monsters amped up fear of the Covid frankenvirus and steered the panicked public away from safe medicines, and toward an obviously dangerous gene-therapy which they falsely called a vaccine in order to lure us into acceptance.

These are among the greatest crimes EVER committed against humanity. We now have persuasive evidence of everything I have said above.

If we don't correct the record and hold the perpetrators to account, this pattern will happen again, and again, and again--shortening our life expectancy, and degrading our quality of life each time that it does.

This is our Nuremberg moment. We can not simply move on from this ghastly chapter of history. We must finish it.

Bret Weinstein cuts straight to the chase:

"We are going to have an endless battle in which those of us who see what we believe is clear evidence of some kind of election rigging or fraud are faced with indignation from a vast array of people portraying themselves as more rigorous and careful who say, 'Where is your evidence? Where exactly is your evidence that there was something wrong with this election?' And we are gonna be caught in the following predicament.

No piece of evidence is sufficient to establish that case. And the sum total of all of the evidence contains true things and false things. So it is also no good.

So the question is, can you logically deduce that something has gone wrong? I believe you can easily.

Can you prove it? No.

And not being able to prove it means that the election will proceed. It will be validated by all of the structures, including the courts. And that means that those who take on the power that derives from these elections will be the result of whatever process we just went through, whether it was an election that happened to be anomalous through organic means, or it was the result of some kind of fraud or election rigging. That is not an accident.

That is not an accident.

And the point that I wanna make primarily is the primary evidence against elections that look like this being organic is not actually in the trickle of evidence that we are actually able to see, the moment by moment vote count that does something strange during the night when some large tranche of ballots is suddenly counted or something like that.

The evidence is in the structure of how the elections are actually carried out. These elections are designed to allow fraud that cannot be detected and will not be prosecuted. And that's really the thing that we must focus on."

Negative social judgments are not always cruel.

Sometimes they are guardrails. Sometimes the most compassionate thing you can do is tell the truth about which choices lead to suffering and which ones do not. Single parenthood is harder. Substance abuse is destructive. Crime corrodes communities.

Pretending otherwise, wrapping these realities in a language of non-judgment and normalization, is not kindness. It is a luxury. It’s what you believe when you are insulated from the consequences.

The people who pay the price for luxury beliefs are seldom the people who hold them.

Sometimes when I speak about luxury beliefs, critics will reply, “But Rob, you’re talking about elite hypocrisy. That’s nothing new. Elites have always been hypocrites.”

And that is correct.

Still, I prefer what I call the “John F. Kennedy model of hypocrisy” to what we have now.

As many of us now know, JFK was a flawed man, but the image he presented to the American public was that he was a good husband, a good father. In his private life, though, he was a philanderer and often an absentee father and had other shortcomings. But he thought it was important to set an ideal for the general public, even if he fell short of it.

And now we have the opposite. Today, our elites get married, they have kids, and for the most part, they live stable, conventional lives.

But if you ask them their opinions and attitudes around family, around marriage, around law abidingness, hard work, punctuality, integrity, honesty, and so on, they take a very relaxed attitude.

Elites used to pay lip service to conventional values but privately strayed. Now, they are publicly indifferent to or actively support straying, but privately behave in a more conventional way.

It's been #1 across all books, #1 in Politics, #1 in Psychology, #1 in Western History, etc. It's only day #6 of its release! Let's inoculate the West against Civilizational Seppuku!

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

Utopia is not the standard. Reality is.

Every civilisation has sins if you judge it by today’s moral standards. You can build an entire career doing nothing but listing them. That is easy.

The harder question and the only one that matters is this: compared to actual, existing alternatives, who has done better?

I am not claiming the West is perfect. It is not. No society is. But if you are honest about measurable progress on rights, equality, and self-correction, it is still ahead of every other major system in the world today.

So stop asking "is it perfect?" That is a childish question.

Ask: "compared to what?"

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

Life isn’t fair. And teaching children otherwise sets them up to fail.

Some people will always have more.

Some will always have less.

The question is: Do you teach children to chase their potential or their excuses?

I’ve been wanting to write this for a while because, more often than not, I find myself doomscrolling, screaming “NOT ALL WOMEN!” It seems like most of the women represented in media are, for lack of a better word, insane. So this is for you—the woman reading this who has been quietly holding it together while the world loses its collective mind.
