Senior leadership I have encountered in the corporate world is largely composed of these people.

Reading Thiel, Yarvin, Peterson et al. makes you realise what passes for intellectual iconoclasm these days is all absolute bollocks. Why anyone gives any of these people the time of day let alone credibility is baffling.

Hey, what was happening in Germany in the 1930s? I forget.

@RealJamesWoods
For those who actually respect history, the origin story of Antifa is well documented. Antifa is an organization that emerged with the “German Communist Antifaschistische Aktion” movement in the 1930’s.
German Communists smeared anyone to their right as "fascists,” a common ploy used by the ignorant hysterical activists of the Democrat Party today. Like today’s leftist loonies, the German Antifa of the Weimar years even labeled the leftwing SDP as "social fascists." Today’s Antifa are a paramilitary mob used by the usual suspects to foment fake “mass protests” and burn down cities. The same puppet masters of the Democrat activist judges ruining America today also fund these “useful idiots” of Antifa to impede the mandate given to the current President in his landslide last election victory.

Still more astonishing that it should be bad that it’s dying as the demolition of a control over right wing extremism. What a world.

Ros Taylor @rostaylor.bsky.social · 3d

I still find it hard to believe that a party which has dominated British politics for centuries is dying. And the most extraordinary thing is that one charlatan, who has never held significant power nor any kind of vision, is destroying it.

The No Kings rallies have been peaceful. But when was there ever a protest with violence in Washington, DC? I'm racking my brain on that one....Oh yeah, when YOUR people showed up to overturn an election, beat up cops, and threatened Dem. and Repub. legislators. Trump pardoned all those thugs.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 4d

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

A man in a suit stands at a microphone which has been mounted on the roof of a van. There are loudspeakers at his feet, and a building behind him. He has an arm raised, and is flinching as projectiles are hurled at him, because he's a fucking Nazi
