Where do we go from here? Think for yourself. Strength, good will, personal responsibility, intellectual honesty.

@LeorSapir @ConceptualJames We need to help enough of the population to understand the downside of unrealistic moral idealism of socialism. And the ways in which we have been moving toward it. Equally important, we need to help them understand clearly the principles of liberty - a positive direction. As

His satire is low key. In these issues it helps by avoiding generating defensive reaction. Derision and anger begets the same, and we get nowhere.

I hope I'm wrong. But tonight feels like some sort of invisible line has been crossed that we didn't even know was there. The last time I felt like this was 9/11 when it was clear, without knowing the how and the what, that the world was about to change forever. Like the

All religions are capable of this, as Christianity showed in the Inquisition. Because People are capable of it. We are capable of it now. Will we fight ideas with bullets (ideas are bulletproof, as in "V for Vendetta") or with ideas strongly and vigorously expressed everywhere?

"We’re not done." Agree. This isn't over. Ideas are bulletproof, and those of the far left have grown firm roots in our society. Those of liberty need to be clarified and promoted as never before, especially more than in recent decades.
This is what happens when evil gets confronted with truth. It doesn’t debate it destroys. When facts cut too deep, the weak reach for violence instead of reason. But that’s the price of telling the truth in a world built on lies. And I’d rather face the fire than be one of the

What we see here is the enforcement of the Marxist notion of "tolerance," which has been the institutional meaning of the term for decades (whether you know it or not). It's about enforcing a Mass Line. Hence, "hate" is any (protected) speech that runs counter to enforced
Matthew Dowd on MSNBC suggests it's CHARLIE KIRK'S FAULT HE WAS SHOT: “[He is] constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech, aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which often then to hateful actions.”

The president of the ICJ stated unequivocally that the ICJ did NOT find that there was a Genocide in Gaza. She even specified that there is not even a “plausible” genocide.

One source points out reduced private initiative and responsibility as the state became more active/interventionist. Various opinions on this. "From the progressive era on [1890s-1910s], the state has increasingly disrupted natural communities and mediating institutions in

Socialism has a seductive message, promising equity, etc. We need a massive, high-level, and sustained -- no: a permanent -- educational campaign clarifying (1) the message of liberty, (2) the downside of over-centralization of decisions with broad social impact, and (3) the

"Cracking down" on crime implies that prior efforts haven't been enough and that stronger measures are needed. The ideas working in the our judiciary and elsewhere are twisted because they prioritize the "rights" of malign actors over those of innocents in the community. The

There are good ways and bad ways to do most things. See the great movie "The Verdict" (1982; Paul Newman) especially his summation to the jury after all his efforts were technically thwarted. The technical machinery of the law isn't perfect and can be counterproductive(!). We

Anything can be overdone. There are good ways and bad ways to do most things. We earn an income by doing something for someone else. As a boy I helped a farmer get his hay in for his dairy cows. So he could provide milk for people to drink. Later I earned income by helping a

This video reminds me of, when I was very young, reading that around the civil war some people thought that "blacks" (as if they were all the same) were an inferior race. It wasn't the prevailing belief in our community, but some still believed it in the 20th century. See the
There is a double standard in how the media covers interracial violence. When the victim is black, it’s national news. When the victim is white, it’s often ignored. This is called selection bias. And it’s creating division. The goal is equality. Not to flip inequality.

Real journalist Sharyl Attkisson, 2006: "Over 20 years, the percentage of seniors getting flu shots increased sharply from 15% to 65%." "Flu deaths among the elderly should have taken a dramatic dip... Instead, [they] continue to climb." If flu shots actually work, how could

Terrorizing the women who will not be groomed is baked into the formula. Over the top? Just note why Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis is no longer safe. (And if you protest because MPLS police and Hennepin County sheriffs protest, note that the UK constabulary has been caught many
