"took direct action to prevent a genocide" Repressive tolerance "My violence is justice because I am emotionally certain of it, and it will result in a better society"
This freak with 1.3 million followers wants to execute a group of young people who took direct action to prevent a genocide, 3 of whom were not prosecuted for any acts of violence. He wants to execute them for criminal damage. The modern online fascist right, ladies and gents:

If I were ever abducted by Aliens, the first thing I’d ask is whether they came from a planet where people also deny science.

I'm not even a fan of Elon Musk, but it's pretty astonishing to me that essentially nobody on the Left can see the plain and simple truth that he crossed the four-comma line by building things many, many, many people benefit from, including lots of jobs and some incredible stuff.

The thing I resent most about Wokeness are the things it's taken from us that most people will never even realize were stolen The ways we connect with one another across cultures and identities for no reason other than to simply CONNECT And in ways that are meaningful; ways beyond surface-level, immutable, largely-irrelevant identity characteristics like skin color or sexual orientation Growing up, I was surrounded by people of all types of backgrounds Rich, poor, black, white, fat, skinny, tall, short, talented, dumb, genius, kind, mean.... People All people All with significantly more in common than not Most of us never really cared what each other looked like, how we sounded, where we came from, etc. Sure, we'd poke fun at each other for all of these things, but it was incredibly rare that they ever got in the way of our friendships and connections At the end of the day, we'd still all find ourselves together, probably getting up to no good and having the time of our lives Even as kids we understood that these meaningless identity characteristics only carry weight when those who stand to benefit from this lie successfully convince others that it does, in fact, matter The more you talk about them and insist that they matter, the more people mistakenly begin to believe this lie, and create a culture in which they DO matter, but only to those who seek to take advantage of them in some way Many people, especially kids today, will never have an experience like this because of the social capital and opportunities we've ascribed to selecting specific, collective, and socially isolated identities that necessarily oppose each other in some way And compete for attention/clout (value), oppression (opportunistic value), or some other meaningless, narcissistic, and soul-destroying venture What we've lost is the effortless connection across the isle that used to define our culture We've lost the excitement in getting to know people who are different as a matter of mutual benefit and fulfillment Instead, this is now largely seen as some kind of effort in righting past wrongs, validating some ideology, or capitalizing on some wholly personal opportunity Of course, those who haven't experienced this are likely readint his post thinking, "What the Hell is he talking about?" Those who have experienced it know exactly what I mean And I guarantee they mourn the loss of it just as I do

Potentially my hottest take but also what I wish to convey with my account is that these ideas come from seeing the world through the dark side of human nature, bitterness, envy, rejection and resentment Sounds woo-woo, but these terrible ideas don't need other people to be recreated, otherwise the first ones wouldn't have been there It is the epistemology of resentful bitter people who beleive they've see the true nature of humanity through their alienation. When you live in that belief system you will design solutions around it, and solutions become the stuff we've been universally sick of. I really don't think that's hard to conceptualize - if you see the world as a problem you come up with things that "fix" it in your image. You don't need to be influenced by bad ideas to reach the same conclusions, otherwise the scientific method wouldn't exist (test elsewhere, different circumstances, control groups). Sure, prior work done helps expedite it, but it doesn't make it the reason it exists. Im sure there were Jewish mystics who believed in this stuff, there were also Christian ones, Catholic ones, athiest ones, socialist ones, etc etc. The point is that it is ultimately something you recreate when saturated in self epistemology driven by very powerful negative emotions. The smarter you are the more dangerous it is. Cadence is captured by these feelings and its why she's doing the thing, and why she's so easily able to see it elsewhere in projection. Again, my hottest take - but people dont have time to understand all of history and philosophy and religion and then recreate it going "ahh yes lemme just throw some hegel in this plot" - they're reaching the same conclusions with the same emotional tools, prior work just helps. In fact, thats why their work is so popular, it's just rampant with catharsis/intellectual justification for resentment and desire for control/certainty. If they didnt have the work they'd just make the same ideas, just slower. You can make cookies without understanding how to manipulate the chemical reactions that occur with baking soda or egg when exposed to heat. The "idea spreaders" im this case are the people that don't undersrand it, but they're not responsible for coming up with cookies.
Sabbatean-Frankism is what is driving the west. It is the Jewish mystical tradition and has nothing to do with traditional Judaism. Read their books.

The Left truly has no theory of mind for anyone who isn't themselves a Leftist. They have zero explanatory power for why anyone would willingly choose NOT to be a Progressive because they just equate Progressivism as simply a fancy synonym for "being a good person".

Tucker Carlson goes full Islamic supremacist; lauds the Islamic Republic of Iran for murdering 40,000 of its own people, funding Hezbollah, proclaiming "death to America," and threatening genocide against Israelis. Or, in his words, "standing up for Lebanon." x.com/JustinUSA/status/20648…

Y'all thought I was crazy when I was telling you he's like this a few years ago. It cracks me up how obvious it is now.

I overly pontificate at times but sometimes I think about what the leftists or gnostics are inverting from reality -what would the 'positive' concept of gnosis be? That no one else is you, no one is coming to save you, & you are sovereign as an individual with uniqueness, maybe.

The left is going to pretend none to the woke craziness ever happened, and they will do it by demanding you provide on-the-spot citations for every memory of the early 2020's that you have, and then calling you a liar if you don't large numbers of citations committed to memory.

The detail in what she believes Erika wants is mega, mega projection. Candace's behavior is hyper in line with maintaining attention. A statement like this is basically a soul-bearing. Never being able to have Charlie's genuine perspective must be driving a lot of this.
In a moment of astronomical projection and epic levels of self-own, Candace scornfully asserts: "Everyone genuinely loved her and embraced her and cried for her and cheered for her... ERIKA IS CHASING THAT HIGH OF BEING TRULY DESIRED." Folks... this is wild to watch.

She will say this and then believe the way to reverse America’s “decline” is sperging about retarded Israel conspiracies all day. Is that making our cities safer? Is that what the Russians do? No. She doesn’t cover any actual issue that can reverse America’s decline. In fact, she calls for political alliance with the very people who’ve destroyed our cities so much that Americans can be wooed by Moscow’s safety and cleanliness. American cities aren’t run down because conservatives aren’t unifying with the left against Israel. They’re in bad shape precisely because the political left has allowed black crime and third world migration to completely ruin them, over the course of decades. Hey Candace, have you considered speaking about that? Or is unifying with those people (your audience) more important?
🔥🔥 JUST IN: Candace Owens is encouraging people to visit Russia, saying everything Americans have been told about the country is “a lie.” She says the streets are cleaner, the food is better, and after visiting, she came away believing it’s OUR society that’s in decline — not theirs. 👀

Storytelling and emotional manipulation are very close in proximity to each other in terms of expertise. A good storyteller knows how to pull emotional strings, as it's their job to create a compelling world for that purpose. The best stories leave things up to the viewer for interpretation. The classic "show don't tell" strategy. Games, shows, and movies that make you want to explore, that make you want to "look around the corners they don't show you" are what create hooks for engagement with the participants in your story. Create a compelling world and interesting characters, then make room for play. You want untied ends, pathways that didn't get entirely fleshed out so the "what if" is constantly building itself in the consumer's mind. This is the mechanism of inviting personal interest, and personal interest is where the attachments are formed, because it makes you invested as part of the story, which is ultimately a felt sense of meaning (just thought of it, but this is kind of the political stance of classical liberalism). So, what does this have to do with emotional manipulation? Well, manipulating someone uses almost the exact same strategy; the personal interest being the catalyst. What you do is present the person you want to influence with essentially the same thing. You want to use their values so a "hook" is created, you want to incite potentialities of "what could be around the corner." Journalists do this with news articles all the time via titles like: "Does steak contain as much protein as we think?" Where the article could just be explaining how the average new york strip people consume doesn't have as much protein as a full meal of steak (16oz sirloin or w/e). The framing makes you think that maybe someone has found out that the macronutrient profile of steak contains a lower percentage of protein than we thought. Your personal interest is "I eat steak all the time for protein, this would suck." That was never a concern, but it felt like one. Conspiracy theories spread like wildfire using this technique, and the "critical" approach significantly expedites the degree to which they're emotionally magnetic, because it manifests what looks like expert analysis and opinion from major figures participating all over the place on social media (hi soros reflexivity). Frame > story > theory > solidify perception via values > repeat The same thing that makes people love stories that suspends their disbelief is the mechanism that is used to make "real" stories compelling.
Cernovich is not a conservative. He's a New Age weirdo and Alt Right flunkie who made himself very useful to building Podcastistan. He's a skilled manipulator, though, and has many people convinced he's with us instead of against us. This is his whole shtick on display.

Islam is a belief system and set of rules deliberately designed to unleash men’s primal instincts, to turn men into savage soldiers, fierce warriors who go out to conquer, subjugate, and bring back spoils. It was never intended to civilize humanity. The very purpose of civilization and culture has always been the opposite: to put a leash on these primal instincts so people could coexist in harmony and construct advanced societies. This is why Islam inevitably clashes with every civilization, be it the ancient Persian one or the modern Western. Wake up.

Iron Law of Woke Projection never misses.
When Israel did their first ethnic cleansing in 1948, our media lied to us and said the Palestinians attacked the Israelis. In 1967, when Israel attacked all its neighbors and took their land, our press lied again and pretended Israel was the victim. As Israel brutally occupied the Palestinians and robbed them of their freedom and dignity for nearly six decades, our media called the Palestinians terrorists and pretended the Israelis were the good guys. So, why did they do that? Who do they actually work for? And what are we going to do now that we know all of our national media are lying on behalf of the powerful and smearing the powerless?
