@McFaul “Our enemies have never had bases there and never would have. Denmark is our ally.” - Europe is very weak and China is permeating through all its layers with corruption and soft power. I’m from Bulgaria and noticing how the news started including positive materials about China.
Why the State Needs Weak Men and Radicalized Women
Orwell warned us that “It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.”
Once the state has radicalized women into a mass movement that can be turned on dissidents, weak men follow.
Males adapt to whatever the mating market rewards, and once the moral consensus of women has been captured, low-status men adopt the sanctioned positions.
I first met Charlie Kirk more than ten years ago. At that time, he was very young, and possessed an evangelical naivety that was relatively foreign to a Canadian.
He was truly and somewhat amusingly shocked, for example, at the pervasive smell of marijuana on the streets of Toronto.
It was obvious, however—despite that sheltered mien—that Charlie was someone deeply and singularly committed to a unique mission, and that he would be driven to learn everything necessary to its success.
I met him in person another dozen times after that, and was asked to speak at a number of Turning Point events.
I enjoyed the events. It was a very good thing to see thousands of enthusiastic young people trying to make things better in their somehow endearing conservative American way.
It was also fascinating to watch Charlie develop in sophistication over the years. The bravery he showed in presenting a truly conservative viewpoint on university campuses was part of that development, as was the ferocious skill he developed at debating contentious issues, under trying conditions, for years.
My wife, Tammy, and I met his lovely wife Erika with him on several private dinners. They made a truly admirable and mutually respectful couple. We had plans to make such meetings a regular occurrence—but life, and death, got in the way.
I was not informed about Charlie's murder for several months after it occurred, in consequence of my recent illness. It came as a terrible shock.
It is also truly awful to see what a spectacle has been made of his demise by pathological actors across the political spectrum.
He was a solid, decent, hard-working, truthful, brave person.
We are all—right and left alike—lesser without him.
On the right: because he was an example and a leader.
On the left: because he would willingly talk across the aisle, and in good faith.
There will come a day—and too soon, I am afraid—when even those who vilify his memory will long for the days when people such as Charlie existed, and made such civilized talk a priority.
I had the privilege to sit down with Charlie and talk with him about his life and the world not so many months before that was no longer possible: https://t.co/1b3U5MxGB1
RIP Mr. Kirk. I write that in true sorrow.
@GunterFehlinger God is written with capital G. Trump was a “friend” of Ali Khamenei as well, but killed him. Just try to understand Trump better by his actions not his words. Such cheap political points…
Once you understand the psychology of the modern leftist, the last decade of the woke revolution starts to make a lot more sense.
The outrage, hyper-sensitivity, and rejection of rational debate are not quirks.
Rather, a crisis of self-worth masked as a moral crusade.
Equality dispenses with truth.
Truth itself is hierarchical. Some things are more true than others. Some are simply false.
If you desire, above all else, for everything to be equal, you must eventually go to war with the distinctions that reality imposes.
And taken to its logical endpoint, that war on distinction produces a society that can no longer tell the difference between a man and a woman.
A synagogue holding a fundraiser isn't news.
A synagogue holding a fundraiser for someone who has repeatedly praised Islamic terrorists? That's a red flag.
Here's what happened when I tried to warn them.

Leftist "Empathy" is Actually Narcissism
A worldview that persists despite its unending list of failures is not interested in truth or empathy but power.
The social status payoff for these luxury beliefs is immediate; the collapse that follows takes decades.
They get all the short-term personal benefits, while collectivizing the long-term downfall.
The West is handing over the world's economy to China. To China, for God's sake: an unimaginably brutal totalitarian regime.
And why?
So our hypocritical elite can continue to style themselves as planetary saviors?
Enough demoralizing doom-crying.
Enough despicable praying in public.
Enough subverting our children's future.
Enough pointless impoverishing of Europe and Australia.
Enough bloody Net Zero idiocy.
Enough.

A good meeting with President Trump @POTUS at the Oval Office. Thank you for everything we do together to protect the lives of Ukrainians and advance peace. First and foremost, I offered President Trump our condolences on the passing of Lindsey Graham. He was a true friend of Ukraine.
The President and I discussed licenses for Patriot interceptor production and several other ideas that could help. We also spoke about diplomacy – it’s important that the diplomatic process be reinvigorated. Our teams will arrange the details of their further communication. I am grateful to the United States for its firm support.
If you want to see witless, privileged, astonishingly hypocritical leftist women lost for words and unable to even look at the camera..... I suggest that if you only watch one video on X every year you watch this one. It is unmissably brilliant.
@dpakman Some people do realize, that there is a need for sensible arguments and positions from the opposition, some real policies... this is just pure hate and fear shop...
Two days ago I reported to @Meta that a pro-Kremlin Bulgarian politician published, on Facebook, an unlawfully obtained court record exposing my full home address in Vienna, effectively encouraging pro-Putin vigilantes to come at it.
Zero response and the illegal post is still on, in clear violation of EU privacy rules.
@Facebook is a platform for evil.
That's it. I'm done defending Israel.
They've clearly invented some sort of machine to expose people who are retarded and don't understand anything about history, religion, war or what words mean.
This is outrageous!
The most controversial idea you'll hear today:
Female promiscuity and the commodification of sexual intimacy are the female equivalents of violent criminal behaviour in men.
Both exploit a biological advantage to extract resources from the vulnerable.
Men through strength.
Women through beauty.
They manifest differently, but they arise from the same evolutionary logic: the corruption of natural strengths into predatory strategies.
