When even regime comedians are mocking you, the game is up. Even the loyal court jester now turns on the mad king.

When the far-left and the far-right agree on something, you know something dangerous is happening. So Nick Fuentes agreeing with the likes of Norm Finkelstein on Israel should worry you.

Footnote: I have at least a grudging respect for the Jew hatred of the far-right, at least

I wish I could say that I was surprised by the monstering of Dr Cass by trans ideologues but I’m not. It was almost as predictable as Dawn Butler standing up in the commons to repeat easily disproven disinformation about her report.

Misinformation and disinformation, particularly in the social media age, is a genuine problem for democracy. But Governments trying to control it, and setting themselves up as the arbiters of truth, as is happening in Australia, is not the answer.

I’m sure there are plenty of men people could point to, but there’s a disturbing correlation between women in positions of power and the attempt to close down free speech, public debate, and to stop people doing risky things. Ruth Hunt, Nancy Kelley, and Julie Inman Grant

I don’t think people realise that when academics such as genocide experts (or gender theorists) write about the world, they’re not trying to ascertain if what’s going on in the world maps onto their concept in meaningful ways. Most of these people are trained in some version of

One of the great mysteries of Twitter, for me at least, is why some people suddenly emerge and get taken seriously. Will Stancil being the latest case in point.

Antisemitism must be deeply held in areas of the media and academia. So much so, that they’ve mangled and conceptually stretched three important concepts - genocide, concentration camp, apartheid - to the point that they’re now meaningless, just so they can criticise Israel.
