@SonnyBunch Narrator: it was not the most cohesive, best-flowing, best-acted, best-looking movie of the awards season.

You think child pornography is free speech?

@ratlpolicy Podcasters are throwing the 'free speech' canard as a human shield for whatever their ideas are, and it's absolutely dishonest by what they do and pretending they have no agency whatsoever.

[Alex Didion @lackoftaste]

When Coleman Hughes debated Dave Smith on the topic of foreign policy, Smith always took the opportunity to cite Mearsheimer in his arguments (his only source, btw). As I watched that debate, I was eerily reminded of how Mearsheimer conducted themselves in the exact pompous way.

So I was at one of the events that Mearsheimer spoke at that appeared in this montage, and I was stunned by how much he would make a lot of shit up, his predictions being completely unfounded and how some people in the audience were anti-Westerners.

🚨Compilation of political scientist John Mearsheimer's TERRIBLE PREDICTIONS - Ukraine, Middle East & Maduro.

I went there bc I wanted to see how the discourse surrounding the Gaza conflict was told. Mearsheimer gets more than ~100,000 views, compared to most people on both ends of the argument, but the fact that he's taken seriously reveals a dizzying disarray in interest I'm seeing.

[Alex Didion @lackoftaste]

@NoahCRothman I went to one of the events appearing in the montage and Mearsheimer was one of the worst public speakers I've ever seen. https://t.co/7oYkx4ZSvl

'Children have not been spared. Days after users raised alarms, X dribbled out a limp statement insisting it “takes action against illegal content”, including child sexual abuse material, by removing it and suspending accounts.'

‘From the literary circle-jerkers of the sexual revolution onward, “enlightened” men have insisted that the public sexual humiliation of women is not abuse but a civil liberty.’ My latest https://t.co/Max5H3z41V

@VladimirSuvor @rahamimX @MillennialWoes It's amazing how much wignat discourse is just them pretending not to understand things, thus making discourse impossible.
