Check out me and Jamie talking Pro-Palestine activism! It's a bit of a cesspool, but we're here for it.

[Jamie Paul 🍝 @AmericnDreaming]

.@thermidorianweb has spent the past year and a half actively debating online pro-Palestine/anti-Israel activists. I sat down with him to pick his brain about it, and it was a fascinating conversation.

Listen here:

Hilarious. As always these people see the headline and make the worst possible assumption. If they'd *read* the piece, they'd know it explicitly calls Hitler a monster, and mainly talks about how society views Hitler and other horrendous conquerors.

[Johan Pregmo @thermidorianweb]

Always love to see my work being appreciated!

[Harshmallow 🏳️‍🌈🏴‍☠️ Rogue Antifa, Inc. @Nikki2U]

Every. Single. Fucking. Word. Of. This. The idiotic horseshoe left hate the American West so much they’ll saddle up with a fucking antisemitic genocidal terrorist theocracy against the US, and not even recognize the extreme irony in this act.

@BornAMileHigh1 @etolson32 @QueerMajority "Queer Majority" refers to the majority of LGBTQ people.

There is no "hedonism", and nothing is being "projected onto other people".

On the anniversary of 10/7, I'm proud to publish this outstanding piece by @thermidorianweb on a year of left-wing anti-Semitism.

@krustelkram This is absurd. I've written for @queermajority before. In no way, shape or form are they anti-trans.

[Jamie Paul 🍝 @AmericnDreaming]

.@thermidorianweb on how the Dems got their groove back, the increasing desperation of the GOP, and his thoughts as a European observer invested in the success of the US.

Check out my new piece on intervention, and why it's not always such a bad thing!

[Jamie Paul 🍝 @AmericnDreaming]

Yeah, he went there. @thermidorianweb on why interventionism shouldn't be a dirty word.

It's become almost axiomatic that interventionism is evil, but reading Johan's arguments, all I can say is "Where's the lie?"

Elon Musk's twitter, everyone.

This website is well on its way to become diet 4chan, with naked bigotry and racism on full display. Sure hope that FrEe SpEeCh was worth it...

[The Hellenist ☀️ @The_Hellenist]

White people forget that black people make good slaves. When blacks know their place, their strong bodies are well-suited for manual labor in the field and household. Friendship and shared interest unite master and slave. Blacks are not the problem; emancipation is.

[Johan Pregmo @thermidorianweb]

I've been thinking, and when leftists tell you to "read theory", liberals should return that same energy.

"Oh you haven't read Locke? Be serious"

"You haven't even read Milton Friedman? SMH I can't engage with you then"

[Jamie Paul 🍝 @AmericnDreaming]

Great piece out in @QueerMajority from @thermidorianweb on how the recent viral "men and ancient Rome" discourse ties into a broader discussion of nature/nurture, sex differences, and the "blank slate."

[Johan Pregmo @thermidorianweb]

Hey everyone, check out my latest piece! I talk about men, Rome and the blank slate gender problem.

[Queer Majority @QueerMajority]

Rome wasn’t built in a day. Neither was the male fascination with it: https://t.co/zD5m1rIA0o | @thermidorianweb

[Johan Pregmo @thermidorianweb]

@FNietzsche_1844 @QueerMajority Well, you'll be pleased to know that there was no comparison made between the Roman Empire and modern society in this piece!

[Johan Pregmo @thermidorianweb]

@bitsweetTess @AmericnDreaming @ianLourinho That you like history! Like the piece says, nothing about this appreciation for Rome is *exclusive* to men- the piece is all about group level phenomena, not individual preferences.

[Jamie Paul 🍝 @AmericnDreaming]

New piece from the great @thermidorianweb on how the "socialism is when the government does stuff" meme became the primary lens through which both the left and right understand the concept.

[Johan Pregmo @thermidorianweb]

I don't think I've ever seen a more quintessentially conservative tweet- it's 100% moral indignation and 0% logical argumentation. The most typical "feels over reals" position.

Here's a tip: if your position ends and begins with scoffing indignantly, you may wanna rethink it.

[Sean Davis @seanmdav]

If you’re incapable of understanding why anyone might recoil at the notion of renting a womb after leafing through a catalog and filtering out all the features you don’t want in the a la carte child you’re pre-ordering, all so that child can be raised without a mother, permanently left to wonder why she was ever created and for what purpose, then I sincerely pray for your soul.

[Jamie Paul 🍝 @AmericnDreaming]

This is the best piece I've ever read on autism and disability politics. I'm biased, of course, because @thermidorianweb is a dear friend and because I published it, but the fact remains.

"Autism and the Importance of Doing Better"

Including historical counterexamples from the US Civil War, Napoleon Bonaparte, the British Empire, the modern-day US, and Ancient Rome, Greece, and Persia. @thermidorianweb 🤓📚
