I am 57. I don't need "influencers" to tell me what I should think, what I should buy, or how I should act. But it seems sheeple do. Logic and reason are in such short supply these days. As are manners and basic human decency.
Unfortunately, it appears our grand children start out as sheeple at a very early age.
It would be cool if Sasha could do more illustrations like this one to teach boomers and the next two generations how the internet—social media—controls the thought and knowledge of each generation of information consumers.
I thought we had done a pretty good job of raising our kids to think and reason. But post-election, I'm learning differently, sadly. The one who seems to be thinking the most clearly is the one not on social media much at all. Of course.
"I thought we had done a pretty good job of raising our kids to think and reason." Yeah, that would be nice. But when you look at the fact that our entire education system has, for years, been captured by the leftest woke, why should we expect anything different than our kids turning out to be indoctrinated brainwashed woke idiots like the ones in the videos in Sasha's article?
The NYT is corrupt and dishonest and, AFAIK, has always been so. For an early example google Walter Duranty who was Moscow bureau chief for the Times in the 1930’s and, among his other crimes he covered up Stalin’s genocide in the Ukraine. He won a Pulitzer for that story and that Pulitzer still hangs on the Times wall of honor.
This black racial attack on white people in Cincinnati is the story we should all be talking about in this country. This is a direct result of the constant demonization of “Whiteness!” by our guilt-ridden, upper class, Woke white leftist ruling class who run the Democratic Party and are supported by many millions of our “fellow Americans” in the general public. This is just not working at all.
“Woman beaten by mob speaks out after near-death attack.” (19 min)
Simple fact we are losing civility in this country. Look at view points on people who disagree with each other in real life (online has never been civil)
You should watch the Laura Ingraham interview with the woman who was knocked out during the racial attack in Cincinnati which occurred in real life, not online.
That brave woman, who continues to speak out after nearly being killed, made such a good point in that interview- when the police finally came & she regained consciousness, they did not ask for her statement but stood by with arms folded watching - not acting. They did not call an ambulance, she had to call an uber to take her home. After being beaten by a man / men. Also the disgusting looky-lous standing around recording with their phones but not stepping in to help are all culpable. Where are the men!? So outrageous!!
When I first saw the video of the woman punched, falling backwards onto the hard surface of the street and then just laying there with her eyes wide open, I thought she was dead. No doubt she does have some pretty bad neurological damage though that will greatly damage her life from now on and probably result in an early death.
I agree we are reaching a point of no return on anger in this country. Worse I do not think the current administration realizes how ineffective they are at combating this or worse they are feeding this fire.
It’s democrats, not republicans, who constantly stoke the flames of anti-white racial hatred. Your beloved democrats are insane and profoundly destructive. Open borders, the war on meritocracy which is being replaced with equity aka race based equal outcomes and the demonization of “Whiteness!” to promote white guilt to gain support for things like reparations and equity are just a few of the many ways your democrats have severely damaged this society.
Who was President when the strongest bipartisan bill was written and who was the orange crybaby who shit his depends whining that rethugs needed to not vote for it because the MAGAtts and he MAGAettes would it vote if he didn’t have those immigrants to blame for all of America s problems
The “bipartisan bill” was crap. It set a cap of something like 5,000 illegals a day before they’d shut the border. How is that a secure border? I live in Chicago and as of last December the city has spent $600M taking care of illegals. Now we’ve got a budget deficit of $1.1B for next year. No society can survive this level of stupidity and flat out insanity.
Well, in case you've been overdosing on some of the fentanyl crossing our border over the previous 4 years, his 'ineffectiveness' has deported thousands of child rapists and murders you freaking dimwit.
Drug deals are a small amount of the population that are bad most are just trying to make ends meet looking for a better life. I think the bad people have to be dealt with but stereotyping millions is wrong and you know it.
They can’t help but feed the fire because the Left has gone so mental that they can’t stand that a hot blonde is the face of a clothing company’s ad campaign. Poking the bear is really the only way we get through the disaster that the Left and the globalist right have created. The era of ‘safe spaces’ is coming to an end. Suck it up, buttercup.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. We are in the ‘finding out’ reactive phase of the ‘f’ing around’ period of the past 15 years. Own your damage. There was always going to be fallout, not utopia. Sucks to be on the receiving end, but the Left was repeated warned not to cross certain lines, but you can’t keep pushing and then scream victim when the blowback finally comes.
All the Left had to do was not act like retards after Trump got elected, so what did the Left do - act like retards. That was never going to end well for the Left.
I think we are experiencing the culminations of hate vs hate. Some of these people who push it are fake as all fuck doing it for the clickbait and money. The left are acting just like the right did with Obama toddler temper tantrums and called it just.
“ Worse I do not think the current administration realizes how ineffective they are at combating this or worse they are feeding this fire.”
That’s beyond comical. The left has spent 16 years consciously turning the fabric of decency and shared values into sawdust, spraying gasoline on it and tossing a Molotov cocktail onto the pile. The inferno was intentional, worldwide and completely driven by the “progressive” leftists.
But the problem is the effectiveness of the first 6 months of the current administration to combat it????
They’ve done an incredible amount in only those first 6 months to restore sanity - look at London, San Francisco, Paris, or Dublin for various examples of how the wildfire is going under leftist control.
You are 100% correct. It seems that while there were still (unfortunately) issues, the US was slowing moving towards a color blind society envisioned by MLK. Obama's election in 2009 stopped this progress, and the racial animosity and grievance issues returned with a vengeance. I keep remembering the Czech editorial that noted (paraphrasing): "America would survive the Obama Presidency, but it wouldn't survive the people who elected him." Trump's Presidency has helped to ameliorate the destructive agenda Obama and the Dems have been engaged in. BTW, there is a very insightful and informative article by David Samuels in "Tablet" from earlier this year in which Mr. Samuels details the rise of Obama and how David Axelrod and he, and their "experts" engineered the leftist agenda Obama promoted.
HL3, in truth, "civility" went out the window in the US in the late 1960s, and has never returned. The internet just made an already bad situation worse.
Thanks. I spend most of my time online so I come across a lot of information both good and bad. The best of times. The worst of times. My hope is that AI will save our sinking ship and create a heavenly utopia for us on earth. Our present trajectory though is taking us to the abyss which is the gateway to the Underworld ruled by Satan, the Prince of Darkness, ruler of demons. That would not be a pleasant place to end up in but I think the odds are in our favor and AI will enable us to bypass it.
AI now operates on synthetic neural networks similar to our biological neural networks. They can reason and are doubling in this ability every six months and already do show signs of a subjective awareness. AI researchers like Geoffrey Hinton, Elon Musk, Ilya Sutskever and Ray Kurzweil all expect a sentient AI will soon become a reality.
“Ilya Sutskever Calls for SuperAlignment Before Data Centers Evolve Into Artificial Life.” (8 min)
So who governs real life where people like you are trained to always toot the horn for the left and always claim they’re wonderful regardless of how obviously insane they are? Can you answer this simple question? Ha ha. Fat chance of that.
When I worked in the corporate world before Obama NO ONE talked about hiring more this ethnicity and that ethnicity. Maybe they talked about it behind closed doors but it was never public. Once Obama came around everyone started talking about race. Then DEI started coming around.
No one will convince me otherwise that this country took a sharp decline when he came around. He also wanted to change America and he sure did.
What now you have to hide your hatred for black people or are you just pissed you now have to share that hatred for brown people too because Donny told you too?
You nailed it. The educational system which has been invaded by self leather, gender study non binary self thing morons have infected the youth of the country. Then along came George Floyd ( psy op?)dismantling law and order. Then 4 years of the walking dead running a showdow government with strings being pulled by Obama. Along comes Hamas and the world gives in to highlighting Shariah law. Jew Hatred is mainstream and a blue eyed white girl wearing blue jeans becomes Eva Braun. Stop the world, I want to get off.
I live in Chicago and sure don’t see it here or believe it’s a problem anywhere in this country although what’s happening in Gaza will no doubt create a lot of it in some countries. Gaza is simply ghastly.
If you cannot see the Jew hatred on substack, I think you are either lucky or blind. Almost all the criticisms of Israel seem to me to be based on antisemitism. My reason for believing this is the lack of coverage of the continuing attacks on noncombatant Israelis, and the lack of attention to the massacres of innocents in other places, such as the murders of Christians in northern Nigeria, and the list could go on, including the Ukrainian persecution of Russian speakers in East Ukraine, the wars in Burma and Thailand, the attacks on Armenians in Azerbaijan, etc. Finally, there is literature out there that the October 2023 attacks on Israel did not happen.
Substack is a big place. I don’t see it on the sites I go to or read or see videos about it in Chicago or in other cities around the country. They’d be far more likely to be attacked for being white than for being Jews.
I know I’m right although I don’t mean to imply it’s only white people who are attacked by blacks. I’m retired but worked (CNC machinery) for many years with mostly legal immigrants from all over the world in Chicago. All of them were appalled by black behavior and very much felt it’s blacks, not whites, who very much needed to change. They all considered the black south and west sides of Chicago as NoGo Zones and avoided them if at all possible. Plus the greatest victims of black wilding are other blacks who live in these areas. Moving ghetto blacks to middle class white, or even middle class black, neighborhoods has always failed since they always bring the ghetto with them and just destroy the new neighborhood or school. An impossible situation. This is why I believe only AI can save our fallen world. We sure can’t save ourselves.
“Woman speaks after being shot, wounded in Chicago this past weekend.” (3 min)
“Almost all the criticisms of Israel seem to me to be based on antisemitism. “. Well there you have it. You essentially define antisemitism as any criticism of Israel. Given that definition, Israel can kill over 2 million children in Gaza and anyone who criticizes it is labeled an antisemite. If you disagree, then give me the maximum number of children that Israel can kill without a critic being labeled an antisemite. For example, can Israel kill 30,000 children and if someone criticizes them for it, you won’t call the critic an antisemite?
Not quite. You are not holding other countries to the same standard as you are holding Israel. And you certainly are not recognizing that the first casualty of war is truth.
I don’t hate the Jews. Most Jews are as clueless as the rest of us. It’s Israel controlling out government through blackmail, and payoffs that I do not like. It’s wrong.
I know that. I follow Breaking Points with Krystal & Saagar plus Ryan Grim and Emily Jashinsky who used to be at the Federalist. Excellent site with great international coverage. They often talk about how dreadful it is that most Israelis are fully on board with the genocide/ethnic cleansing. Many Jews in America though, especially young ones, are horrified by what a monstrosity Israel has become. Even the majority of Israelis are now afraid to travel to foreign countries because they know how hated they are globally. I’ve never had a sense of Jews being different though plus I admire Jews like Glenn Greenwald, Bret Weinstein, Norman Finkelstein and others like them so that also prevents me from being down on Jews. Even before Israel went into Gaza though Glenn and these others predicted that if they pounded Gaza in revenge it would backfire on Israel and be ruinous for them. That sure is the truth. Have you been following how Trump’s disastrous tariffs have been backfiring on America and turning the world against us? An ever worsening situation. Trump is horrible. I’ve gotten to the point where I wish he’d just die of a heart attack so he’d no longer be able to ruin the country. Not by assassination though which would just make things worse. I’d like to see JD take over and try to repair the horrible damage Trump has done.
“India’s Counterattack: Five Ways New Delhi Can Hurt the US.” (6 min)
A similar ‘black gang’ of reportedly 8 persons against 1 white ‘Big Balls’ DOGE guy occurred at 3am in DC. Shouldn’t be out that late when you’ve been doxxed! However, Nellie Bowles over @ TFP is suspicious that this attack was a staged Jessie Smollett affair 🤷
It’s laughable for “pro-choicers” on the Left to suddenly care about eugenics. When was the last time you saw a Democrat/liberal/ leftist person walking around with their Down Syndrome child?
From the NYT: "But it also shows how, on today’s internet, a controversy can sometimes be described as widespread when it isn’t. Instead, people pushing an agenda can cherry-pick from the tens of millions of posts and videos uploaded to social media every day to make their case."
There's nothing like the NYT criticizing others for "pushing an agenda" and cherrypicking data, when that's exactly what they are doing here and on other topics.
What’s weird is that they say exactly the same thing about those on the right. I read (after taking zofran) lib stuff just to see both sides; it’s uncanny that each side says almost to the words about the other.
It’s because that’s the strategy of radical propagandists and bullies. Accuse your enemy of that which you are doing while you are doing it - to create this very confusion, cloud the issue, and inoculate the guilty against any evidence of their guilt. It’s also observed in typical school bullying. If you get the bullied to react you can blame them of doing what you’re doing yourself, and no one will know who started it and the bullied often gets in trouble but not the bully who started it.
You're right. This strategy is also seen in cases such as Parental Alienation, where the actually abusive parent (in a divorce situation) accuses the innocent parent of being the abuser of their children. And these fabricators do it with such drama and confidence that everyone believes them, even in court...which takes the onus off them as the real guilty party. A standard Machiavellian mind-trick.
Bring up a "crime" that you know you yourself are guilty of, make a huge scene over the other party supposedly having done this (when you know they are innocent), and the audience usually believes you.
That's why the Greyrock tactic is the best way of responding to these fabricating troublemakers, if you can manage it.
In my career I met a lot of sociopaths, a smattering of true psychopaths, and plenty of cluster B and C personality disorders. And even covert narcissism not just with patients but even a few “professionals” who really would have been better off not being healthcare providers. Long winded way to say I agree!
There are regular patterns in any archetypal behaviour (Jung). The Collective Psychosis comes from the archetype of the Shadow.
Freud called this the tug-of-war between the Id and the Superego, with the Ego itself (in the middle) not being able to hold the balance-point. Good illustration in "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson (there is a modern English version available).
I usually avoid psychopathic and antisocial posts (a great many of both are always out there), I suppose it puts me more in the middle. As far as who to believe? I start with family and then friends - and critical thinking. I was never a follower in either of my careers, so you are giving me more to think about. I do believe nobody is ever fully wrong or fully right, and it’s important to at least try to understand all sides. Jekyll and Hyde is a fine example of good old fashioned alcoholism!!
If you try to be the nice understanding guy with a psychopathic sort, they will take you as deserving prey. And have no problem doing so. Being very virtuous only works to give them the openings they are looking for. Not everyone operates on the "niceness" principle, I'm afraid.
The average person cannot usually identify a psychopathic sort in advance. They often wear masks. You might never guess...until they strike.
I do believe that some people are fully wrong, Jim.
No...I have to disagree about Jekyll and Hyde. Definitely not referring to alcoholism. Although alcoholism is another example of takeover by the Id side of the psyche.
I reread it about once a year, because it was an excellent literary example of the two sides of the human unconscious out of control, even before Sigmund Freud published his own theories on the Id/Ego/Superego.
They are self-destructing. My concern now is making sure that the right doesn’t become infected with a version like Germany had . I don’t believe one man should have total control over the country. We must be able to question his decisions and policies without being cancelled by our own side. For example, I don’t agree with mass deportation. I don’t think it’s good policy. That doesn’t make me woke .
"I don't believe one man should have total control over the country"? What man might that be? Certainly not Trump. He has been relentlessly attacked by the media, framed for crimes he did not commit, and subject to two attempts on his life. Sure doesn't sound like someone with "total control" to me.
OK, fine, you don't agree with "mass deportation." But Trump was elected, in part, to do just that. Keeping you promises to voters is democracy, not dictatorship, Paula.
80% of Americans want child rapists and murderers deported...it should be 100%. And Trump does not have total control...have you heard of our 3 branches of government?
Just curious if you even paused for one second to think for yourself before you replied ? True conservatives don’t let others tell them what to think . I am a conservative. I’m tired of people telling me that immigration is the number one problem in this country . Wrong . It is multifaceted.
To go further on this, besides being a Collective Psychosis, you can say that the Collective Psychosis has been caused by Shadow Possession (Carl Jung).
Mass Shadow Possession comes from the dark side of the collective unconscious, and is usually channeled by a psychopathic Medium such as Hitler or the disturbed and charismatic cult leaders or Rasputins.
Exactly - anyone who has taken a basic biology course knows that there are only 2 genders, not the 50+ promoted by the Woke insanity; same with the transgender issues.
Two *sexes*. There’s no biological definition of “gender” (though it is a perfectly good word in linguistics, and many languages do have three genders).
I just read an article by Ruy Teixeira where he said something like this about the Democrats: "expanding movements seek converts, declining movements punish heretics."
The Gaza tragedy is the result of the Oct. 2023 massacre committed by Hamas. I believe Israel has stated numerous times that if Hama would release the hostages, then a peaceful settlement of this conflict could begin. BTW, where are the surrounding Arab/Muslim nations, several of whom are incredibly wealthy - they could easy take in many of the Gazans and provide humanitarian services for them, but somehow they do nothing and expect the (Christian) West to care for the Gazan population.
Israel was torturing and unjustly imprisoning Palestinians for decades befor 7Oct. Israel has been taking their land and running an apartheid state for decades. 7Oct was a false flag done by Mossad. Epstein and Maxwell were Mossad and typical tribe pedophiles. Maxwell will soon join Epstein back in Tel Aviv. Israel is most certainly guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing and genocide. Get on the right side of history and humanity while you have time.
Never understood the nose ring thing. White guys with dreadlocks are bad enough, but women with nose rings? Back on the farm, we would put nose rings on the hogs to prevent them from rooting up the place and making a horrible muddy mess.
It's certainly not a beauty enhancement, not any more than some dude sporting a penis sheath. Probably a tribal thing, like certain tats, the keffiyeh, or kente cloth. Seems the left is offended by American culture and would prefer to identify with a foreign tribe (or slavery?) to which most have no connection. Misappropriated cultural cosplay?
As a 68 year old male who was labeled as "toxic" by some of my female HS classmates who decided since I was a conservative and I was white (and they said privileged, though I have never had an ounce of privilege or advantage in my entire life, having put myself through college doing menial labor), I understand the backlash against the Liberal Media better than most. And yes, those old HS classmates, mostly teachers and the "cool girls" in HS, are the essence of the problem in America. They have trained two generations of younger women to hate alpha men. They have no one to blame but themselves for the disdain they now receive.
The NYT is the poster child for corrupt MSM. The internet is finally giving voice to objective reality as a counterbalance to the MSM’s manipulation of facts. This is represented by the positions of Stone and Taibbi on RCP’s Most Read in Last Seven Days!! Yay!
Accurate; the immense distraction they are going to need to keep people from admitting Epstein and Maxwell were Mossad and Trump was compromised, and that Gaza will have over 1 million dead this year, spells drastically bad times ahead.
Though I think they're at least beginning to read the writing on the wall. Still some reason to hold their feet to the fire, figuratively speaking of course ..., as the targets present themselves. Apropos of which, my open letter to a couple of "journalists" at the NYTimes and one at Slate:
Cancel Culture is an integral part of the Far Left's drive to create a One-Party State. Call it "the Marcusean Program".
On a brighter note (now there's a low bar ...), I have found it helpful to respond to Far Left propaganda, which is always garbage, by asking "And what does that refute?" The answer is almost always "nothing". Practically speaking, their arguments are all about trying to drag their enemies down rabbit holes.
Dixie Chicks say hi was the original band that cancelled because of the political beliefs. The beauty is neither side tolerates the other sides view points they want them to sit in a corner.

Yeah, we’re all supposed to go line up for AE jeans in order to own the libs.
Let’s not forget how AE embraced wokism. Big fat models all that. And I’m sure the libs ran out and bought that slave made jeans.
I’ll wait for them to hit the thrift store.
Marketing is marketing. But now we have this added layer of moral superiority based on some woke-of-the-moment.
The NY Times IS a disaster, just like the Democrat Party.
YEARS ago a friend said, with regard to the NYT, All The Shit That's Fit To Print.
NYT is owned by the tribe, written by the tribe, for the tribe, and subscribed to by the tribe. It’s the tribe’s paper of record. Prove me wrong. Lol.
💯
Well said, friend.
Please clarify what you mean by “the tribe”. Thanks

I thought the same thing. Men are supposed to be wired to defend women, not beat them to a pulp or film it like a voyeur. Where are all the real men?
This was about race, not masculinity. Most of the men were black and were acting on their racial hatred of white people.
I agree we are reaching a point of no return on anger in this country. Worse I do not think the current administration realizes how ineffective they are at combating this or worse they are feeding this fire.

So who governs it and identifies when its ghosting or going over its commanded intentions?
So who governs real life where people like you are trained to always toot the horn for the left and always claim they’re wonderful regardless of how obviously insane they are? Can you answer this simple question? Ha ha. Fat chance of that.
This racial divide all started under Obama. Race relations in this country were doing fine until Obama came around.
DEI wasn’t around before Obama.
It was but not called DEI and the Rodney King riots in LA were before Obama although I agree he made race relations much worse.
You are correct.
When I worked in the corporate world before Obama NO ONE talked about hiring more this ethnicity and that ethnicity. Maybe they talked about it behind closed doors but it was never public. Once Obama came around everyone started talking about race. Then DEI started coming around.
No one will convince me otherwise that this country took a sharp decline when he came around. He also wanted to change America and he sure did.
What now you have to hide your hatred for black people or are you just pissed you now have to share that hatred for brown people too because Donny told you too?
I take it you weren’t around in the 60’s
I wasn't
You nailed it. The educational system which has been invaded by self leather, gender study non binary self thing morons have infected the youth of the country. Then along came George Floyd ( psy op?)dismantling law and order. Then 4 years of the walking dead running a showdow government with strings being pulled by Obama. Along comes Hamas and the world gives in to highlighting Shariah law. Jew Hatred is mainstream and a blue eyed white girl wearing blue jeans becomes Eva Braun. Stop the world, I want to get off.
“Jew Hatred is mainstream”
I live in Chicago and sure don’t see it here or believe it’s a problem anywhere in this country although what’s happening in Gaza will no doubt create a lot of it in some countries. Gaza is simply ghastly.
If you cannot see the Jew hatred on substack, I think you are either lucky or blind. Almost all the criticisms of Israel seem to me to be based on antisemitism. My reason for believing this is the lack of coverage of the continuing attacks on noncombatant Israelis, and the lack of attention to the massacres of innocents in other places, such as the murders of Christians in northern Nigeria, and the list could go on, including the Ukrainian persecution of Russian speakers in East Ukraine, the wars in Burma and Thailand, the attacks on Armenians in Azerbaijan, etc. Finally, there is literature out there that the October 2023 attacks on Israel did not happen.
“If you cannot see the Jew hatred on substack,”
Substack is a big place. I don’t see it on the sites I go to or read or see videos about it in Chicago or in other cities around the country. They’d be far more likely to be attacked for being white than for being Jews.
You are probably right.
I know I’m right although I don’t mean to imply it’s only white people who are attacked by blacks. I’m retired but worked (CNC machinery) for many years with mostly legal immigrants from all over the world in Chicago. All of them were appalled by black behavior and very much felt it’s blacks, not whites, who very much needed to change. They all considered the black south and west sides of Chicago as NoGo Zones and avoided them if at all possible. Plus the greatest victims of black wilding are other blacks who live in these areas. Moving ghetto blacks to middle class white, or even middle class black, neighborhoods has always failed since they always bring the ghetto with them and just destroy the new neighborhood or school. An impossible situation. This is why I believe only AI can save our fallen world. We sure can’t save ourselves.

“Almost all the criticisms of Israel seem to me to be based on antisemitism. “. Well there you have it. You essentially define antisemitism as any criticism of Israel. Given that definition, Israel can kill over 2 million children in Gaza and anyone who criticizes it is labeled an antisemite. If you disagree, then give me the maximum number of children that Israel can kill without a critic being labeled an antisemite. For example, can Israel kill 30,000 children and if someone criticizes them for it, you won’t call the critic an antisemite?
Not quite. You are not holding other countries to the same standard as you are holding Israel. And you certainly are not recognizing that the first casualty of war is truth.
I conclude that you would not criticize Israel if they killed 2 million children. Typical.
America though has enabled what’s happening to Gaza. This would not have been possible without our money, bombs and weapons.

I don’t hate the Jews. Most Jews are as clueless as the rest of us. It’s Israel controlling out government through blackmail, and payoffs that I do not like. It’s wrong.
Zionists are the problem, not the Jews and many Zionists are Evangelical Christians such as Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House.
Not so sure. It’s do Agee Zionist are a problem though.
“Around 80% of Israelis say they're not troubled by the hunger situation in Gaza or reports of starvation.”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1mpe9x80xvt?page=2#
I know that. I follow Breaking Points with Krystal & Saagar plus Ryan Grim and Emily Jashinsky who used to be at the Federalist. Excellent site with great international coverage. They often talk about how dreadful it is that most Israelis are fully on board with the genocide/ethnic cleansing. Many Jews in America though, especially young ones, are horrified by what a monstrosity Israel has become. Even the majority of Israelis are now afraid to travel to foreign countries because they know how hated they are globally. I’ve never had a sense of Jews being different though plus I admire Jews like Glenn Greenwald, Bret Weinstein, Norman Finkelstein and others like them so that also prevents me from being down on Jews. Even before Israel went into Gaza though Glenn and these others predicted that if they pounded Gaza in revenge it would backfire on Israel and be ruinous for them. That sure is the truth. Have you been following how Trump’s disastrous tariffs have been backfiring on America and turning the world against us? An ever worsening situation. Trump is horrible. I’ve gotten to the point where I wish he’d just die of a heart attack so he’d no longer be able to ruin the country. Not by assassination though which would just make things worse. I’d like to see JD take over and try to repair the horrible damage Trump has done.

The BBC is about as anti-Israel as can be. Try reading more neutral or non-partisan sources.
Jew hated is earned
Try going to New York.
A similar ‘black gang’ of reportedly 8 persons against 1 white ‘Big Balls’ DOGE guy occurred at 3am in DC. Shouldn’t be out that late when you’ve been doxxed! However, Nellie Bowles over @ TFP is suspicious that this attack was a staged Jessie Smollett affair 🤷
https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-says-hes-calling-musks-big-balls-after-bloody-attack/
That's crazy .... why would you spread those lies?
I don’t believe it was a staged attack. Such things are common in all our cities nation-wide. No reason to assume this was somehow staged.
It’s laughable for “pro-choicers” on the Left to suddenly care about eugenics. When was the last time you saw a Democrat/liberal/ leftist person walking around with their Down Syndrome child?
From the NYT: "But it also shows how, on today’s internet, a controversy can sometimes be described as widespread when it isn’t. Instead, people pushing an agenda can cherry-pick from the tens of millions of posts and videos uploaded to social media every day to make their case."
There's nothing like the NYT criticizing others for "pushing an agenda" and cherrypicking data, when that's exactly what they are doing here and on other topics.
Cherrypicking data is accepted in our new norms today
Accepted everywhere.
In truth, there is so much data in the world today, that you can't help but cherry pick it... whatever your politics or ideology...
🤣 so true
What’s most disturbing is the rampant mental illness caused by the woke agenda. These people are nuts!!!
It's known as a Collective Psychosis. Same category of condition that hit Germany in the 1930s.
What’s weird is that they say exactly the same thing about those on the right. I read (after taking zofran) lib stuff just to see both sides; it’s uncanny that each side says almost to the words about the other.
It’s because that’s the strategy of radical propagandists and bullies. Accuse your enemy of that which you are doing while you are doing it - to create this very confusion, cloud the issue, and inoculate the guilty against any evidence of their guilt. It’s also observed in typical school bullying. If you get the bullied to react you can blame them of doing what you’re doing yourself, and no one will know who started it and the bullied often gets in trouble but not the bully who started it.
You're right. This strategy is also seen in cases such as Parental Alienation, where the actually abusive parent (in a divorce situation) accuses the innocent parent of being the abuser of their children. And these fabricators do it with such drama and confidence that everyone believes them, even in court...which takes the onus off them as the real guilty party. A standard Machiavellian mind-trick.
Bring up a "crime" that you know you yourself are guilty of, make a huge scene over the other party supposedly having done this (when you know they are innocent), and the audience usually believes you.
That's why the Greyrock tactic is the best way of responding to these fabricating troublemakers, if you can manage it.
Exactly. Once you dig into why that is you’ll be thinking more clearly.
In my career I met a lot of sociopaths, a smattering of true psychopaths, and plenty of cluster B and C personality disorders. And even covert narcissism not just with patients but even a few “professionals” who really would have been better off not being healthcare providers. Long winded way to say I agree!
Could be. But which do you believe?
There are regular patterns in any archetypal behaviour (Jung). The Collective Psychosis comes from the archetype of the Shadow.
Freud called this the tug-of-war between the Id and the Superego, with the Ego itself (in the middle) not being able to hold the balance-point. Good illustration in "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson (there is a modern English version available).
I usually avoid psychopathic and antisocial posts (a great many of both are always out there), I suppose it puts me more in the middle. As far as who to believe? I start with family and then friends - and critical thinking. I was never a follower in either of my careers, so you are giving me more to think about. I do believe nobody is ever fully wrong or fully right, and it’s important to at least try to understand all sides. Jekyll and Hyde is a fine example of good old fashioned alcoholism!!
If you try to be the nice understanding guy with a psychopathic sort, they will take you as deserving prey. And have no problem doing so. Being very virtuous only works to give them the openings they are looking for. Not everyone operates on the "niceness" principle, I'm afraid.
The average person cannot usually identify a psychopathic sort in advance. They often wear masks. You might never guess...until they strike.
I do believe that some people are fully wrong, Jim.
No...I have to disagree about Jekyll and Hyde. Definitely not referring to alcoholism. Although alcoholism is another example of takeover by the Id side of the psyche.
I reread it about once a year, because it was an excellent literary example of the two sides of the human unconscious out of control, even before Sigmund Freud published his own theories on the Id/Ego/Superego.
Robert Louis Stevenson was ahead of his time.
Same as Israel now.
They are self-destructing. My concern now is making sure that the right doesn’t become infected with a version like Germany had . I don’t believe one man should have total control over the country. We must be able to question his decisions and policies without being cancelled by our own side. For example, I don’t agree with mass deportation. I don’t think it’s good policy. That doesn’t make me woke .
"I don't believe one man should have total control over the country"? What man might that be? Certainly not Trump. He has been relentlessly attacked by the media, framed for crimes he did not commit, and subject to two attempts on his life. Sure doesn't sound like someone with "total control" to me.
OK, fine, you don't agree with "mass deportation." But Trump was elected, in part, to do just that. Keeping you promises to voters is democracy, not dictatorship, Paula.
Wake up.
80% of Americans want child rapists and murderers deported...it should be 100%. And Trump does not have total control...have you heard of our 3 branches of government?
Just curious if you even paused for one second to think for yourself before you replied ? True conservatives don’t let others tell them what to think . I am a conservative. I’m tired of people telling me that immigration is the number one problem in this country . Wrong . It is multifaceted.
It's an opinion, my friend, not a fact. Please tell me you know the difference.
To go further on this, besides being a Collective Psychosis, you can say that the Collective Psychosis has been caused by Shadow Possession (Carl Jung).
Mass Shadow Possession comes from the dark side of the collective unconscious, and is usually channeled by a psychopathic Medium such as Hitler or the disturbed and charismatic cult leaders or Rasputins.
Exactly - anyone who has taken a basic biology course knows that there are only 2 genders, not the 50+ promoted by the Woke insanity; same with the transgender issues.
I think most of us knew this even as pre-schoolers, actually. Took only a little observation of life and reality.
Two *sexes*. There’s no biological definition of “gender” (though it is a perfectly good word in linguistics, and many languages do have three genders).
They ARE mentally ill.
I just read an article by Ruy Teixeira where he said something like this about the Democrats: "expanding movements seek converts, declining movements punish heretics."
This is true.
Just like Islam today.
Just like Zionist today, except they committed genocide in Gaza in 2025. Two can play this game lol.
The Gaza tragedy is the result of the Oct. 2023 massacre committed by Hamas. I believe Israel has stated numerous times that if Hama would release the hostages, then a peaceful settlement of this conflict could begin. BTW, where are the surrounding Arab/Muslim nations, several of whom are incredibly wealthy - they could easy take in many of the Gazans and provide humanitarian services for them, but somehow they do nothing and expect the (Christian) West to care for the Gazan population.
Israel was torturing and unjustly imprisoning Palestinians for decades befor 7Oct. Israel has been taking their land and running an apartheid state for decades. 7Oct was a false flag done by Mossad. Epstein and Maxwell were Mossad and typical tribe pedophiles. Maxwell will soon join Epstein back in Tel Aviv. Israel is most certainly guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing and genocide. Get on the right side of history and humanity while you have time.
Keep showing off that level of gross ignorance and people gonna think you're a moron.

Never understood the nose ring thing. White guys with dreadlocks are bad enough, but women with nose rings? Back on the farm, we would put nose rings on the hogs to prevent them from rooting up the place and making a horrible muddy mess.
On fat women with purple hair the hog-ring has exactly the opposite effect. Rooting up the place and causing a mess is their specialty
If we call it a "hog ring", does this constitute a violent, pro-Nazi, white supremacist reaction?
Depends on the hog's eye color
Ah, right!
I agree - it's likely unhygienic as well as unappealing.
It's certainly not a beauty enhancement, not any more than some dude sporting a penis sheath. Probably a tribal thing, like certain tats, the keffiyeh, or kente cloth. Seems the left is offended by American culture and would prefer to identify with a foreign tribe (or slavery?) to which most have no connection. Misappropriated cultural cosplay?
Agree. I can't help but imagine boogers in those rings.
As a 68 year old male who was labeled as "toxic" by some of my female HS classmates who decided since I was a conservative and I was white (and they said privileged, though I have never had an ounce of privilege or advantage in my entire life, having put myself through college doing menial labor), I understand the backlash against the Liberal Media better than most. And yes, those old HS classmates, mostly teachers and the "cool girls" in HS, are the essence of the problem in America. They have trained two generations of younger women to hate alpha men. They have no one to blame but themselves for the disdain they now receive.
The NYT is the poster child for corrupt MSM. The internet is finally giving voice to objective reality as a counterbalance to the MSM’s manipulation of facts. This is represented by the positions of Stone and Taibbi on RCP’s Most Read in Last Seven Days!! Yay!
The drama club kids don't intimidate anyone anymore. They no longer get to call the shots culturally.
This is why I don't think the crazy is behind us
I suspect they have farther to sink yet.
Yes, indeedy. Bottom has not yet been reached.
Far worse is ahead for us. We’ll soon look back on this time as the good old days.
Accurate; the immense distraction they are going to need to keep people from admitting Epstein and Maxwell were Mossad and Trump was compromised, and that Gaza will have over 1 million dead this year, spells drastically bad times ahead.
Iva also noticed a lot of tv ads now feature white people! What a refreshing change. Fuck off woketards
Did anyone else notice that the Times didn’t allow comments on that story? I wonder why.
Such a puzzle ... 🙂
Though I think they're at least beginning to read the writing on the wall. Still some reason to hold their feet to the fire, figuratively speaking of course ..., as the targets present themselves. Apropos of which, my open letter to a couple of "journalists" at the NYTimes and one at Slate:
https://humanuseofhumanbeings.substack.com/p/open-letters-ideological-capture
Cancel Culture is an integral part of the Far Left's drive to create a One-Party State. Call it "the Marcusean Program".
On a brighter note (now there's a low bar ...), I have found it helpful to respond to Far Left propaganda, which is always garbage, by asking "And what does that refute?" The answer is almost always "nothing". Practically speaking, their arguments are all about trying to drag their enemies down rabbit holes.
MAGA does the same
Bullshit.
