How is it I keep hearing that nobody actually believes this, then when I point out an example of someone in authority who professes to believe it I’m emphatically told, “They don’t actually believe that”.

This is a textbook example of starting from a conclusion and working backward to find evidence that supports that conclusion. In this case it is actually worse as the fallacious process is foisted upon students by authority figures who will grade on conforming to the conclusion.

If you think the Memphis police officers had to be white in order to exhibit anti-Blackness, you need to take that AP African American Studies course Ron DeSantis just banned.

This is absolutely horrific and should be punished to the full extent of the law. To the comments, it’s also irrelevant if the suspect tried to flee. He could have been subdued without any brutality.

This Tyre Nichols video should truly disgust every American. The vast majority of police are good people but Police brutality is a massive problem in this nation. Violence won’t fix this but we need Justice for Tyre from the Memphis Police.

Lyell Asher discusses how ed schools indoctrinate students and perpetuate Woke nonsense throughout grade schools. We talked about critical race theory, Social Justice and more. Watch: youtu.be/qvK-a-yim_k I interviewed Lyell for my series #TheWokeReformation in late 2021

Indoctrination requires the repetition of routine. So to avoid being brainwashed, periodically switch up your news sources so you alternate between outlets of clashing political stances. The more mercurial your news consumption, the greater your resistance to manipulation.

If you’re having a conversation with someone and you don’t know what to say, just ask questions about what genuinely interests you. Followup those questions with additional questions, and avoid relating their answers to your personal experiences.

The Conceptual Penis continues to ram its way into the literature. In this case, it’s thrusting itself into the Spanish language literature. The Conceptual Penis for the win 🍆💪🏼👍🏼

“Even in America, you’ll get cancelled, so it doesn’t seem full of freedom.” I asked a group in Pécs, Hungary if they’d rather be ruled by America or Russia. Their answers, especially regarding what "freedom" actually means, may surprise you: youtu.be/j1TRXX_B3gA

Some of the western European attendees at this week's Budapest conference are seeing firsthand why the Hungary of is more free than many western liberal democracies that have surrendered to the dictatorship of woke. #LiveNotByLies

This is ghastly. He’s advocating for a crime against sentience. I sincerely hope that something is fraudulent about this video—either he’s not who he claims to be or it was maliciously edited or he’s playing a very unfunny joke.

“So those cultures that say girls can’t be educated…can we say that they’re wrong?” Is all culture relative, or are some cultures wrong in their norms, beliefs, and/or values? I had an interesting conversation about it with some folks in Romania: youtu.be/9QL0bVu88tI

The reason shop owners don’t hire social workers is because almost nobody apart from true ideologues believes it will reduce crime. The vast vast majority of people espousing the defund the police madness are doing so for social reasons.

One consequence of defending reason and not bowing to the sensitivities of others is that it makes you seem like a dick. But when you’re not willing to take the heat and speak bluntly about facts and evidence, the outcome will always be worse.

"The increase in the black homicide rate [since 2019] was greater than the total homicide rate for the nation as a whole." Hard to absorb that fact. twitter.com/RAVerBruggen/s…

We were also repeatedly and emphatically told that this (including sexual assaults of women by biological men) would never happen. When some of us questioned these assurances we were excoriated and told we were bigots and horrible people. Now, here we are.

How do trans activists respond to abusive/criminal examples like this? It's inexcusable, is it not? Tragically, this was predictable years ago and was predicted to happen, especially by defenders of women's rights. twitter.com/HJoyceGender/s…
