So I have dropped a new episode of my podcast. Chaos doesn't enter the university because people stop believing in truth; it enters because the system stops letting truth decide.

Oh yeah that'll really stop them. Maybe if they dress up as inflatable frogs? We all remember how that brought down the Nazis? Maybe if they send thoughts and prayers?

I don't think the American people are ever going to rise up. Far too many of them love the taste of the boot. Many more are completely economically crushed. In every revolution it's when the middle start to get hit and they're not there yet

It's great to see how effective thoughts and prayers are in curbing The ongoing assault on human rights in the United States. They were so effective in sorting out their school shooting problem.

Thoughts and prayers. What they need to send are about 100 people carrying automatic weapons standing there exercising their second amendment rights that Americans have cosplayed as being something fundamental to their culture for decades
