@craigkellyAFEE Craig.
In my unqualified opinion, the PM actually meets the criteria required to be classified as a pathological liar.
In fact pseudologia fantastica unquestionably describes his pattern of behaviour.
@FranMooMoo No.
Barry’s post highlighting the blatant hypocrisy on this topic goes much further than that. Tanya’s partner instead received a glowing endorsement from the Fabian Society.
@OMGTheMess If X wasn’t the only platform to allow conservative political views an equal standing in the marketplace of ideas we wouldn’t be where we are.
@Kristof_Poland@gigabente@Kristof_Poland If you could, please consider listening to this. The references to the Communist/Marxist movement in Paris during WW2 seem entirely relevant. https://t.co/veS5Rr9yGe
Ukraine’s supporters openly glorify Ukrainian war crimes and incitement of genocide against Russians @elonmusk.
As I have recently exposed, Ukraine openly embraces Nazism and the US Government has even sent AMERICAN NAZIS overseas to commit war crimes in color revolution style operations funded by and organized by the DOD and CIA.
This is glorification of violence. I don’t want my taxpayer money being used to Fund Ukrainian Nazis and their Nazi death squads.
This war needs to end, and President Trump is the only one who can end it.
PS: This is a total violation of TOS 👇🏻 Conservatives are banned for supporting Trump and pro Ukrainian accounts are openly advocating for the murder of Russians on Twitter.
Unacceptable @elonmusk
The Map
Founding document of the Council of Western Civilization. First draft, for correction.
What this is
A diagnosis – not a manifesto, not a program, not a complaint. Before anything can be defended, someone has to write down plainly what exists, what is being lost, and what can still be saved. That document does not currently exist. This is an attempt at it.
It is expected to be wrong in places. Everything here is open to correction by evidence.
Preamble
A civilization that cannot say what it is will not defend itself.
Europe has institutions for everything except the civilization that produced them. Before anything can be defended, we have to write down plainly what exists, what is being lost, and what can still be saved. That document does not exist. This is an attempt at it.
What we inherited
Western civilization is not an idea. It is a set of working arrangements, each of which took centuries to build and any of which can be lost in a generation:
1. Law that binds the ruler as well as the ruled.
2. Trial by evidence, not by authority.
3. Property the state cannot take at will.
4. Free exchange, and the prices that make it intelligible.
5. Science: the claim that reality is real, knowable, and open to correction by anyone with better evidence.
6. The individual conscience, which no institution owns.
7. The family: the only structure that transmits all of the above and invests in people who do not yet exist.
8. These are not Western by geography. They were built here, at great cost, and adopted elsewhere because they work.
What is being dismantled
9. Truth. Institutions built to establish facts now exist to protect narratives. Where evidence and narrative conflict, the evidence is managed. A society that cannot correct itself cannot steer.
10. Merit. "Who is best for this" is replaced by "who belongs in the room." Position is allocated by credential, network, and demonstrated loyalty. This is not equality; it is the protection of incumbents in the language of equality.
11. The right to build. In Europe, activity requires permission by default, and silence from the state means no. The visible harm is prevented. The invisible harm – the factory never built, the young person who leaves – is never counted.
12. Transmission. Birth rates across the West are far below replacement. The family has been reclassified as a lifestyle option and inheritance as an injustice. A civilization that stops handing things forward has already decided.
13. Free Speech. Not by law, mostly – by cost: employment, reputation, access. The result is a population that says one thing in public and another in private, and a growing number who have left public life entirely.
14. The nation. The frame inside which all of the above is actually enforced. Rights that no state will defend are only promises.
Why it happens
15. Accumulation. Every society builds layers of protected position. People who reach the top arrange the ladder behind them. Without periodic clearing, the layers thicken until the society is run by people it cannot remove.
16. Selection. An institution told to avoid scandal will select for people who avoid scandal, and those people prevent things rather than build them. No malice is required. Give an institution the wrong mission and it will perform it faithfully.
17. Therefore replacing individuals changes nothing. The same incentives produce the same people.
What can still be defended
18. The law still mostly works. The scientific method is intact even where scientific institutions are not. Property holds. Several nations still know what they are and say so.
19. And the monopoly on distribution is broken. For the first time in a century, an argument can reach a continent without anyone’s permission.
What must be rebuilt
20. The rotation of elites, so that position must be re-earned.
21. The presumption of freedom to act: punishment after harm, not permission before existence.
22. Institutions that transmit – schools, apprenticeships, prizes, families – rather than merely certify.
23. An authority that says publicly what is legitimate and what is corrupt, measured against a stated hierarchy of values. Nothing else on this list gets repaired while no one’s job is to name the problem out loud.
What the Council does
24. Keeps this map current, and publishes every revision.
25. Issues verdicts: short, signed, public judgments on specific laws, acts, and institutions, with the reasoning attached. Not lobbying. Not consultation.
26. Distributes the vocabulary, so people can name what they are living through. You cannot resist what you cannot describe.
What the Council does not do
27. Hold power. Seek office. Take money that comes with conditions. Issue anonymous statements.
28. Every member is named, every position public, every decision on the record. The case for this civilization can be made in the open. The case against it usually cannot.
The standard
29. We will be judged by whether what we say turns out to be true. That is the whole authority available to us, and it is enough.
Tell the truth. Have courage. And build.
