Tbc, I'm blocking all fake leftists who refuse to grapple with our country's well established racism & misogyny & hide behind "economic anxiety," which it was never about, not in the 1930s, 2016, or 2024, & I'm not putting up with anyone who pretends otherwise. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

My “Noam Chomsky was not corrupted after spending time with wealthy pedophiles and rapists” shirt is raising more questions than it answers.

This is because the left treats feminism—and particularly feminist critiques of sexuality and sexual exploitation—with contempt, not as a serious and necessary intervention but ad a bourgeois affectation at best and as a betrayal at worst. But you’re not ready for that conversation!!!
Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

Access to what, one wonders.
Noam Chomsky’s emails to Jeffrey Epstein display none of the fawning chatter found from, say, Larry Summers. And he does not appear to have been co-opted by whatever access Epstein provided.

What the Noam Chomsky–Jeffrey Epstein E-mails Tell Us
Chomsky has often suffered fools, knaves, and criminals too lightly. Epstein was one of them. But that doesn’t mean Chomsky was part of the “Epstein class.”

Whether it's an obscure adjunct professor posting that Charlie Kirk did some bad things or it's the president of the United States celebrating Rob Reiner's death, there's plenty of incivility on both sides.

Don't throw him a lifeline with another question if he dodges. Have each other's backs and demand he answer the question.

But where are all the people who insisted that we not "politicize" Charlie Kirk's murder by quoting his frequent calls for violence?🤔

I am convinced America crossed an event horizon thirteen years ago, when even the deaths of elementary school aged children at the hands of a monster weren't enough for their government to say "enough is enough". Hard not to think that Americans would rather have their guns over their children.

the other thing that strikes me about dreher’s take — and related ones — is that they depend on the conceit that political history began, at most, 10 years ago.
One more example of "the Woke Right" narrative, where the right tries to frame members who have gone too far as actually sort of leftist. In Fuentes case, it is the overt nature of the anti-semitism. Dreher has no problem working for a govt whose leader (Orban) engages in dog-whistle anti-semitism.
