It’s not “disrespect”. This is deliberate communist subversion. They’re systematically dismantling the rule of law so they can hurt you with impunity and destabilize the country. Our failure to properly diagnose and address this problem is why our major cities are so screwed.
Apparently culture only extends to cuisine, clothing & adornment, language & communication, beliefs & religion, family & social structure, living arrangements, arts & expression, values & norms, rituals & ceremonies, knowledge & education, economy & work, technology & materials, symbols & identity, recreation & leisure.
But not political theory & governance. That's a (bigoted) bridge too far.

This is, indeed, a mask off moment. Here a newly minted academic declares without a hint of self doubt that a proposition obvious to almost everyone not too long ago, and obvious to many now—that not all cultures have the same contemporary capacity for constitutional self-government—is bigoted and racist. It is arguments like this and the cavalier confidence with which they are freely asserted in the halls of academia that make everything Trump wants to do to the universities seem so eminently justified.

for anyone in tech with money: the annual percentage they want to take from you each year via asset seizure is what you should be plowing into super pacs, NGOs, and media influencers right now to beat back marxism. the hour's late, and nobody else is coming to save you.
SECRETARY RUBIO: This is a distinctive and unique evil. It has always been driven by a hatred, above all else, for civilization itself.
It is a revolt of the worst against the best; of the weak and the cowardly against the strong and the good. It is perpetrated by those who cannot build, cannot create, cannot achieve great things - and take their revenge upon the world for their own inadequacy by seeking to destroy those who can.
This is what radical leftism is. It may wear various different slogans and ideologies across place and time - anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, communist, anarchist, Marxist - but the fundamental character is always the same.
It is a poisonous resentment cloaked in the language of equality, justice, liberation; an overwhelming need to tear down what greater men have built, to wreck what is beautiful and right, on behalf of people who are only filled with ugliness, and have nothing else to offer the world.
Through violence and terror, they once again seek to impose their ugliness on all of us. The old dogma was wrong. None of this is driven by "idealism." It is not "utopian" - quite the opposite, in fact.
One of the criticisms you sometimes hear of communism is: "It sounds good in theory, but it never works in practice." But that's not true. It doesn't sound good in theory.
The world it envisions for all of us is small, flat and gray - leveled of all exception, drained of all that is good and noble in the human soul. It is a world without courage, creativity, or ambition; without heroes or glory or great causes to strive towards. Without miracles.
Without myths. Without men who rise above the rest to do incredible and extraordinary things. Without God.
For these architects of revolutionary violence, the towering achievements of our civilization are an unbearable humiliation - a reminder of what they cannot do or be.
So they choose to destroy. They attack pipelines, railroads, laboratories, power grids: the physical, embodied symbols of power, invention and achievement.
@Cernovich There's a big segment of people who were not athletes in high school or college, they don't take their fitness seriously into their 30s or 40s, and it's a massive upgrade when they do
They are being honest when they say they're in the best shape of their life at 45
Elon buying Twitter and restoring free speech was unironically one of the most pivotal moments in the 21st century
Its effects will be studied for generations
My lasting memory of Lindsey Graham, and perhaps the achievement for which he deserves to be remembered, is that he played an unlikely but pivotal role in finally exposing the Russiagate hoax almost exactly six years ago.
After persistent pressure, Lindsey succeeded in obtaining the Rosetta Stone of the Russiagate hoax, the FBI's January 2017 interview notes with Christopher Steele's supposed super source, Igor Danchenko. In those notes, Danchenko admitted that the dossier was based largely on bar talk, gossip and rumors, and that he had no firsthand knowledge of anything. This did not just expose Steele's lies. It revealed that the FBI had continued advancing allegations it knew from the outset were false.
Lindsey could have done nothing at all, slow walked the release, selectively disclosed portions of the material, or tried to maximize the political benefit for himself. Instead, he simply released the full interview notes. From those documents, we were able to identify Danchenko, and with that, the entire Russiagate narrative was exposed as the total fraud it had always been.
