So @piersmorgan will tell @ZackPolanski he cares about women’s rights bc he wants to laugh at trans women but then he will stay pretty much silent in the face of his friend being described as dirty by a pedophile sex trafficker who claims he “gave” him a 20-yo woman to possess.

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

GOP in 2022: what is a woman? GOP in 2025: what is a child?

They are going to successfully make paedophilia a partisan ideological and deeply contested issue aren’t they?
Watters: For a party that claims to care about affordability, they waste a lot of time on old emails.

This is like when the US calls US-based teams winning a US+Canada league “world champions”
Americans eat like they’re prisoners Europeans eat like they’re royalty 🤴

Wait why does releasing information about a pedophile human trafficker destroy Trump’s presidency? Hmmm
Ben Shapiro claims Marjorie Taylor Greene supports the release of the Epstein files because she wants to destroy Trump's presidency. @RepMTG @mtgreenee

It is only after all of this that Hitler used it with Nazi connotations. So yeah, it’s not really a Nazi term but it is a term that reveals just how much the US is a constructed identity subject to change… something Walsh probably would hate

So when Monroe declared *the Americas* off bounds to European colonisation people summed it up with the expression “America (the continent) for the Americans (all of them)”. The phrase only acquired its famous “backyard” connotations decades later: “Latin America for the US”

References to American as demonym was actually to a degree aspirational, like Thomas Payne used it. People said they were a “Virginian” or “From Massachusetts” more often than they referred to their Americanness. It existed but it was not as common nor it meant the same

For the first 50-100 years of the US’ history, state identities often trumped the collective “American” identity. People spoke of “these United States” not “the US” and of the “American Republics”.

Ironically, the phrase’s origin has nothing to do with America, understood as a country with a particular nationality, American. It was rather styled as “America for *the* Americans”, referring not to the US but all of *the Americas* in the context of the Monroe Doctrine (1823)🧵
Holy shit. Now they’re claiming that “America is for Americans” is a Nazi idea. We’ve reached a point where some “conservatives” throw the Nazi accusation around even more liberally and ridiculously than the Left. Total insanity.

I guess I’m not the only one whose tweets are deboosted by the “free speech absolutist”…
I have over 200k followers, my posts are barely getting 1,000 views. At the same time, nearly 10% of my profile visits are coming from Turkey. Grok confirms that Telegram channels are calling to mass-report my account. @elonmusk come on dude.

How does this affect Europe’s rank among the “some cultures are inferior” crowd?
